star history

What it does Nothing, anymore. This repository is a redirect stub: the README contains exactly one line telling you the code moved to GoogleCloudPlatform/tensorflow-without-a-phd. It used to house sample code for Martin Görner’s “TensorFlow and deep learning, without a PhD” presentation and codelab. Now it just sits here with 1,432 stars, a monument to link rot’s slower cousin.

The interesting bit The stars stayed behind. Over a thousand developers bookmarked this shell, which says something about how we curate knowledge — or how little we trust Google Cloud URLs to stay put.

Key highlights

  • Historical home of a well-known TensorFlow MNIST tutorial
  • 1,432 stars accumulated before or after the migration (sources don’t specify when)
  • Zero code, zero issues, zero commits of substance — pure redirect
  • New location: github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/tensorflow-without-a-phd/tensorflow-mnist-tutorial

Caveats

  • The README gives no date for the move, no deprecation timeline, no archive notice
  • No indication whether the new location is actively maintained either

Verdict Worth a star if you’re tracing the lineage of TensorFlow education materials; otherwise follow the link and forget this address. Anyone actually wanting to learn should skip the middleman.
