Re:Covid-19 contact tracing study finds children key to spread

Since the early days of lockdown, my apartment complex in Bangalore has been strict about masks among the elderly but not among children. I would see children playing without masks and probably this could be a reason why children end up spreading the virus easily.

What were your symptoms like?
I’ve read only that mild is not exactly mild by flu standards yet I know another friend who had it but was having a bad throat ache for 3 days and fever. Took her 10 days to recover.

Curious what are the logic gates made of? What kind of engineering does it take to build the gates?

Elaborating on my question.
In your read me it says - "In the computer that you will perform the training -- protip: don't train the model in the Raspberry Pi! -- install all the requirements by runnig:"
Could you give some specs on the computer? I currently don't own a GPU based PC so was wondering if I need to get one or use cloud based GPU instance.

So all of the training was done without a GPU?

Well said.
Often people forget the mental stress modern work places on us. I remember my Dad working hours but he was tired from physical exhaustion and not mental. He didn't have email or messaging that would distract him from a weekend of relaxation.
I was addicted to checking my email every once in a while and found my mind switching to thinking about work instead of enjoying the moment. Thankfully I broke that habit.
Today, I try and impress this upon other people who do this.
