nanddalal··on Challenge to scientists: does your ten-year-old code still run?
GitHub offers a free tier for GitHub actions with 2,000 Actions minutes/month [1]. This could be useful:

1. write some unit tests which don't use too much compute resources (so you can stick to the free tier)

2. package your code into a docker where the tests can be run

3. wire up the docker with tests to GitHub Actions

This way now you have continuous testing and can make sure your codes keep running.

I wonder if he means he is going to lead efforts to build an AI such as Jarvis with some help from his friends at FAIR or whether he's actually going to sit down and train his own models (for recognizing his family's faces for example). Quite motivating actually to see someone who is leading a billion dollar company to find the time to study machine learning on the side and apply it.
