all of this is well and good if you completely forget that there are billions of lines of Python in prod right now. so your grand epiphany is basically on the level of "let's rewrite it in Rust". i'll let you hold your

this is like asking which restaurants have mom's cooking - none but there are plenty that are close enough and don't require you to travel all the way back to wherever your moms lives.

none of this is correct (except the part where FB doesn't use apple in prod). EDIT: for the downvoters - i'll repeat, this is not a correct assessment of the relationship between Apple and PyTorch. but you can keep downvoting if y

Lol that he has a PhD? So either you think 1. The fact that he cheated his way into Stanford is completely irrelevant when considering whether he cheated his way into Caltech or 2. No dummies graduate PhD programs, even T10 PhD programs, ju
