maykr··on Fastai for PyTorch: Fast and accurate neural nets using modern best practices
You have a couple of options to consider: 1. Install a modern Linux distribution on the bare metal, get https://github.com/NVIDIA/nvidia-docker and run the GPU-accelerated container https://github.com/Paperspace/fastai-docker 2. Try running the Ubuntu Hyper-V image provided by Canonical/Microsoft

P.S. I'm considering building a DL box based on Ryzen 2600 w/ GTX 1070Ti, so could you please share your experience with Ryzen and Linux.

Hello and thank you for the great work! Hopefully, the new version will work on MacOS with Anaconda, because 0.7 failed there due to the unsatisfied dependency on PIL. Apparently, the default Anaconda channels doesn't include the python 3.x-compiliant PIL package for Darwin. That blocked my progress on ML course.

maykr··on Fasting leads to stress resistance, self-renewal, and regeneration (2014)
That's it - fasting makes sense from evolutionary biology standpoint - the food was scarce up until modern era, and thus the obesity was quite uncommon. If one was lucky enough to get a meal, that could be his only meal in a week or a few days at least - that's exactly the fasting cycles that were part of the everyday life.
maykr··on Visual Studio for Mac
So as for now it is the rebranded and polished Xamarin Studio - hopefully, they have improved it's usability as in the past it was pretty lacking compared to VS 2013/2015

I wonder what are its benefits in comparison to an OSS solution https://github.com/mist64/xhyve Here's the link to the previous discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9690846

+1 for MSYS2 because of pacman package manager. also Git for Windows is using MSYS2

maykr··on Running Swift code on Android
actually, you could build an Android command-line executable by using NDK target BUILD_EXECUTABLE. This way is imho clear for the demo purposes by leaving the JNI stuff out of scope
