Well, merchant revenue, not Stripe profit, so not quite as impressive as it sounds, but it’s a good example of the sort of nitty-gritty DL applications you will never ever hear about unless you are deep into that exact niche and probably an employee; so a good Bayesian will remember that where there is smoke, there is fire and adjust for the fact that you’ll never hear of 99% of uses.
How are you distinguishing “new DL was instrumental in this process” from “they finally got enough data that existing data janitor techniques worked” or “DL was marginally involved and overall used up more time than it saved, but CEOs are incentivized to give it excess credit”?
It’s totally possible my world is constantly being made more magical in imperceptible ways by deep learning. It’s also possible that magic is improving at a pretty constant rate, disconnected from the flashy research successes, and PR is lying to me about it’s role.

Does anybody know what “optimize the bitfields of card network requests” actually means?
