Well, this is cutting edge ML code written in PyTorch. I wouldn't worry about understanding something like this - you start with scikit-learn first.

Surprised nobody is mentioning climate change. Young people are supposed to be contributing and centering their lives around a kind of societal structure which is increasingly seen as doomed. The constant acceleration of capital is bumping
