    Theoretically, the fund is non-partisan. I'd be curious to see what happens if some folks claim to be politically targeted by the current DOJ.

    This aligns with my understanding. Before 2018-2019, the opt-in process for data sharing was hidden on a website somewhere. Around that time, the form became part of the vehicle pu…

    Most hugging face models are implemented in PyTorch, with an architecture specified as a series of layers. This looks like a nice visualization of that.

    Amazing ending. I have been told "no one should be using copilot" - and I agree!

    It's not a joke - but it sure feels suspicious :D

    Yes. I pre-screen job postings to make sure that the compensation is workable before applying.
