Google Research starts our day with an article on deep learning for robots. They talk about networked robots can share their experience with one another to learn more quickly. Skynet might not be far behind 😛 On the Android Developers blog, they announced the first preview of Android N. This preview came as a surprise to a lot of people since there were effectively no leaks about it in the weeks prior. Netflix gives us a look at how they “build” software. Part of the post is about their build process, but they talk about how it integrates with their whole deployment pipeline. It is really interesting to see a company work at this scale.
