Season 3 of the smash hit FX/Hulu show “The Bear” roared to life just days ago, but Will Poulter (the actor who plays fan-favorite Luca) and 2014 F&W Best New Chef Dave Beran had been prepping for weeks. Poulter — like his co-star Jeremy Allen White — staged with Beran at his Santa Monica restaurant Pasjoli to learn how to accurately portray a professional chef onscreen. The lessons went so well, Beran says he’d hire Poulter as a cook — even despite a messy mishap with a pastry bag. The two dished all about getting kitchen culture right on and offscreen, what it takes to be at the top of your craft, and the pure magic of a great restaurant service.

About This Episode Shreya Shankar is a computer scientist, PhD student in databases at UC Berkeley, and co-author of "Operationalizing Machine Learning: An Interview Study", an ethnographic interview study with 18 machine learning engineers across a variety of industries on their experience deploying and maintaining ML pipelines in production. Shreya explains the high-level findings of "Operationalizing Machine Learning"; variables that indicate a successful deployment (velocity, validation, and versioning), common pain points, and a grouping of the MLOps tool stack into four layers. Shreya and Lukas also discuss examples of data challenges in production, Jupyter Notebooks, and reproducibility.

One of the most fun things about these building tools has been the conversations with these ML practitioners and learning about the interesting things they’re working on.
