What you’re ignoring is that the switch isn’t from nothing to Pytorch, it’s from Tensorflow to Pytorch. It’s only favoring one library over another. Your scenario with Jax hasn’t changed, and such tooling is going to be released for Pytorch

I don’t want to discredit this, since I don’t know your source, but linguistically that seems quite unlikely for a consonant introduced three thousand years ago to have influence on the modern Cornish place names. Three thousand years ago,

The house I grew up in in the US was considered on the small side at 2600 sqft (240 sqm). Partly the size of your family matters, but mostly I think it’s just cultural expectations.

The problem that the progressive tax solves is allowing small scale landlords while stopping large companies. An equal tax means that a person with an extra home they are renting out is just as unprofitable (or even more so, because of scal

I’m an advocate for nuclear energy, but I acknowledge that there are some strong downsides. Per my analysis, those downsides are worth it, compared to the alternative (millions of death from coal pollution, climate change, etc.), but it’s n

The tarot card is helpful as a source of random thoughts. Other equivalents could be just as good - pick a random word from the dictionary for example might be a decent one. Another good alternative (that is designed for this) is Oblique S

On the contrary, divination can actually be helpful (in some circumstances) by providing controlled sources of randomness to get our brains out of their ruts. It’s not a mystical property of the cards; they just provide a structure. It’s es

I think it depends on the situation. I read a lot more (for myself, not for classes) in college when I had access for free to all those books. The cost of books impedes humans. Luckily there are libraries all over, but they’re not nearly as
