    PyTorch is the most impressive piece of software engineering that I know of. So yeah, it's a nice interface for writing fast numerical code. And for zero effort you can change betw…

    It's the same in Norway, and it seems completely indefensible. 1) It's the opposite of progressive taxation, since the tax deduction is higher the larger your mortgage is (and ther…
