Be kind. Don't be snarky. Converse curiously; don't cross-examine. Edit out swipes.
No affiliation, I just liked the way they have covered the tech.
If this leads to SO regaining some of its popularity, I'm all for it!
If I have want to help you in your roadmap- specifically around Find Companies, how can I contribute?
There is an entire spectrum of models, from something like Mask-RCNN, U-Net family upto something like Meta's SAM, which you can use without even training.
There's a recent paper by Huggingface called IDEFICS[2] that claims to be an open source implementation of Flamingo(an older paper about few-shot multi-modal task understanding) and I think this space will be heating up soon.
Assuming best intentions, it might be helpful to clarify why this was posted.
Try and assess if you really need all the full-time employees you mention. You can get very far with part-time employees, freelancers and outsourced development till the point where you have an MVP built for which investors can put up money. If you really need FTEs, you can (partially)pay them in ESOPs of the company against future revenue.
As an aside, perhaps this repo should be renamed to start with `awesome`, since it helps with SEO for github.

Standardize the stack. Use one stack, one set of tooling, one set of practices, and libraries that are very well known and has decent community support. As you start delivering code, the knowledge builds upon itself.
For example, I pretty much standardized REST API, microservices, Python, Flask, Redis, MongoDB, Nginx for the first 2-3 years. As teammates joined in, they were encouraged to reuse code. Slowly, as more senior engineers started working in the team, they brought their own processes, and consequently the organization became more flexible and robust.
UPI was built around mobile phones, and a significant part of the trust comes from the KYC that was enforced from the beginning for mobile connections. I'm not sure how well that process will scale across countries and across currencies. Still, with the international partnerships coming up, I'm excited for the possibilities that are presenting in the payments space.
0. Tourism isn't a cure for ignorance, but it helps in widening worldview and experiencing how other people live and see. However, today it is mostly about having some time away from your residence/work.
1. Tourists are a small though non-negligible part of humanity as a whole
2. A large part of the people who have traveled as tourists have traveled to tourist spots, places that are developed to cater to the _tourists_ and hence aren't an authentic representation of the local population.
I do agree with your second sentence.
As an aside, thank you for your one-line installer script for tf/keras. Earlier, my team used to spend days figuring out the CUDA/tf/keras/CUDNN etc dependency charts, and you've brought that down to ~0.
