Packet Capture, Improving Instagram with Deep Learning, Data Science, and The Spotify Model
- Moloch — Large scale, open source, indexed packet capture and search.
- 3Dify Instagram Photos — open source toolset for adding a 3d effect to photos on Instagram’s web site. It uses 3d-photo-inpainting running in Colab (free GPU) and Cloud pubsub/storage for communication.

- xkcd 2295 — data science in a nutshell.
- Spotify Doesn’t Use “the Spotify Model” and Neither Should You (Jeremiah Lee) — I no longer work at Spotify, so I am sharing my experience to set the record straight.
