Why can't we separate YAML from ML?


As for the ever popular Python vs R vs Julia vs Scala... It's already been decided and the right answer is YAML. It ever has ML in the name! 😉 [image or embed] — Alex Gude (@alexgude.com) October 27, 2024 at 5:23 PM Why can’t I just write code? I’m coming up on 10 years, and half as many jobs, in data science and machine learning. No matter what, in every role, I find myself reinventing a programming language on top of YAML in order to train machine learning models.

No matter what, in every role, I find myself reinventing a programming language on top of YAML in order to train machine learning models. Step 3 could be skipped if you refactor to ensure that all model’s constructors are “lightweight” and don’t involve anything like downloading giant weights, allocating lots of GPU memory, etc… but that places major constraints on your codebase.
