If you want to run #ConvTranspose3D on Apple Silicon with MPS (the cuda equivalent), there is a GitHub issue on #pytorch that has a PR in limbo. Fortunately, Francesco Pisu has written up a solution to get us up and running.

This is so good. Analysis of driver/build/wheels etc. selection for Mario Kart 8 using Pareto principles.
I'm enjoying using {lintr} to enforce #RStats style. For some reason, it lints
`for(i in 1:nrow(x))`
and suggests
`for(i in 1:seq_along(nrow(x))`
in case it is empty; but then that gets linted to say it should be
`for(i in 1:seq_len(seq_along)nrow(x)))`
#WhenWillItEnd
Edit: I misunderstood and should replace with `for(i in seq_len(nrow(x)))` - so obvious now 🤦🏻♂️

I saw the posts claiming that code from private GitHub repos are in the AI training data known as The Stack.

FWIW they only have public repos of mine.
I'm sceptical that they would use code from private repos. Nonetheless, I moved several of my private repos off GitHub a few weeks ago as a precaution.
