We use both GPU and TPU, but use our own installed Jupyter to keep a copy as backup. Many of our developers like colab, just the reason we keep backup because we have been bitten by google shutting down services more than once. In one case

On HN in general there is a disdain for anything other than react, probably more people of Facebook generation and admiration of it's technology like open graph, react and few other products. Based on personal usage of React, it's

Wouldn't this executive and Media companies will run afoul of the GDPR act. At least in EU they can be fined and may be prosecuted if they are repeat offenders. It will be nice if all the EU residents in one go send a request to remove

That’s what I wanted to say docker is only designed with specific goal to have one process running per container. So to run a system like Sovereign will need many many containers, one each for each daemon and then environment variables for

Docker use Dockerfile (ini) to create container images, so you need to create a soup of Dockerfile, bash scripts combine it with ansible scripts. So it is kind of incompatible, it's better to use LXD containers as I suggested in my pre
