Cool, MIT licenses this time.<p>* <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;pytorch&#x2F;botorch&#x2F;blob&#x2F;master&#x2F;LICENSE" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;pytorch&#x2F;botorch&#x2F;blob&#x2F;master&#x2F;LICENSE</a><p>* <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;facebook&#x2F;Ax&#x2F;blob&#x2F;master&#x2F;LICENSE" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;facebook&#x2F;Ax&#x2F;blob&#x2F;master&#x2F;LICENSE</a><p>It&#x27;s interesting seeing Facebook&#x27;s evolving open sourcing strategy, and a bit heartening not to find they&#x27;re not still pushing the BSD+Patents licenses on everything.

This looks good. Buying and partially reading two of Judea Perl’s books and taking Daphne Kollar’s first PGM class make me feel like I only slightly understand probabilistic reasoning, Baysean optimization, etc. BoTorch looks to be simple enough for me to use.

131 points and only 2 comments at the time of writing.<p>I imagine most are thinking, “cool, now let me see how I can use this”, but few are actually doing anything comparable at the moment.<p>If you were in any doubt that FB might know something your startup doesn’t, here you go :)
