The lack of screen time limits on the Apple TV just demonstrates Apple's complete lack of credibility in this area too.

And the parental controls on their other devices are illogical and remarkably buggy. Clearly not a priority.

> The salt in the wounds is that universities are flush with cash, yet its spent on anything and everything except for the welfare of the students.

Maybe the elites. State schools and small colleges are not flush with cash and many have been shuttered or severely downsized recently. Though they could still spend their limited funds better.

PyTorch is just much more flexible. Implementing a custom loss function, for example, is straightforward in PyTorch and a hassle in Keras (or was last time I used it, which was several years ago).

If you have a pair of eclipse glasses you may be able to see the sunspot cluster causing all the action with them, it’s enormous.

Unfortunately a rain/sleet/ice/wet snow mix is now more common than 'dry' snow in my part of the northeast US, necessitating waterproof gear if you want to be outside in the winter.
