Lightning Talk: Iterators

This talk is about iterables and iterators, showing why we use them, how powerful they are, and how you can build your own custom iterators.

Ray: A System for Parallel and Distributed Machine Learning

Distributed computing is becoming the norm, and this trend is driven largely by the computational requirements of machine learning applications. However, building distributed applications today requires tons of expertise. This talk introduces Ray and how it makes it easy to scale your python applications without rewriting them.
