I saw the announcement of Julia Day NY on HPCwire

Sounds great! Are we going to see one in London soon?

Also the Deep Learning project on macular degeneration is fantastic.  
I admit to having a small personal interest here as my mince pies are photographed every year. I think they are inspected by a human being though. Maybe one day soon a JULIA AI will be sending me my annual diagnosis.

I spent _far_ too long there wondering what kind of annual mince-pie-making competitions you were entering where each pie is photographed and then inspected!

(for anyone else who is confused, “mince pies” is rhyming slang for “eyes”)

I’d say that the chances of having a Julia Day in London in the near future are good. Let’s get the first one in New York done first though 🙂
