I think my bigger question is a MacPro how? It's obvious you could have a "Mega" or "Extreme" chip with more cores, more GPU cores, etc.. whether that's M2-class or M3-class, etc.

The question on my mind is that Pro workstations usually allow expansion and huge amounts of memory and storage. I know people who would pay for 512GB, etc.

So far, the M-series has required purchasing integrated memory up-front (i.e., little expansion) and relatively limited amounts of memory and storage. (128GB RAM, 8TB SSD in the Studio).

That's my question.. how do they offer 512GB or 1TB memory? Do they have some sort of tiered system with 128GB on-board and expansion slots and PCI?

100% agree. Local laws are also important. I was surprised when moving to Pittsburgh that there isn't a "Tenant Bill of Rights" here. In Chicagoland, the landlords had to put security deposits in an interest account not mixed with their assets, give a receipt, and one time we actually got more back than we initially paid. (Granted, that was an honest landlord.)

Supposedly Biden is pushing for more:

>The Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority and Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency, for instance, have agreed to cap annual rental increases to 5% per year for federal- or state-subsidized affordable housing.

Fingers crossed on both the local and national level.

Isn’t that skortch?

Maybe you want to accelerate other parts of sklearn, based on your comments, but I’d probably ask the project about adding those features to skortch. The NN at the least is already there and IMHO pretty good (at least to help my students migrate from sklearn to PyTorch while they learn).

Out of curiosity, is there anything that can be done at the county level to increase the fines? We’ve seen fines against US Steel, but they’re generally in the tens of thousands, which is incredibly small for that size of a business. Can the county increase the size of fine (e.g., through ahem changes in the county government)?

Exactly. It's clearly a mess down there - they built up some platforms for the cranes, minor debris left from the collapse, the gravel path they used to get equipment down there, etc. And there's supposed to be some sort of public art on the underside of the bridge. (Not sure the final plans are public yet. This is the latest I could find.)

No, it’s not open. There’s still construction equipment, platforms, gravel down there.

There will be some sort of public art installed over the next year, which should hide some of the concrete. Here's the latest version I could find.

I ran along the trail in Frick - seems like they're also moving out the construction equipment.
