Any body can share a success story of using category theory gainfully to any CS/SWE problem that couldn't have been solved without? No Monads isn't one, you would invent it naturally when the situation calls for it. I spent a year studying in grad school and I ultimately abandoned it.

Blade Runner is not a Kubrick film.

It's one of his most accessible movie, and usually resonates with tech people for obvious reasons. His best movies imo are Mirror, Ivan's Childhood, Andrei Rublev, Stalker and then Solaris, Nostalgia and Sacrifice.

Now Solaris book by Lem is far superior to Tarkovsky's rendition.

how is it related to any of these? do you have links to articles?

What is NLL for 32x32 Imagenet? Thats a common benchmark and it’s strange that it’s missing from this paper. Also, will you release cifar10 samples? Curious what they look like at 2.80

What’s so hard about putting this at the beginning of the function? import pdb; pdb.set_trace()

But also learn one or two languages that fit your domain of work, really really well. I have seen too many programmers that justify their lack of skills in their main language they are supposed to know by bragging about their knowledge of some hipster language they rarely use. "my code is way too slow, but hey I know the syntax of dependent types in Agda..."

your statement sounds like this is a point of view taken by the majority of people who live in Europe. Simple facts about the number and density of cities through out the history of the continent point to the exact opposite.

Thats not particularly a European perspective. Sounds like its just yours.
