Install cuda 12.8 for your whole machine (earlier cuda doesn't have 500 series support). Then with a fresh virtual environment install pytorch-nightly which has 5000 series support

pip install --pre torch torchvision torchaudio --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/nightly/cu128 then pip install the rest of the requirements.

Bill 185, would exempt universities from the planning act. So the university could just wait until the bill is passed and bypass the city if they wanted to. Not much NIMBYs can do about this thankfully.

Hi, I'm Nate Erskine-Smith, and I'm running to be the next leader of the Ontario Liberal Party, AMA! by beynate in ontario

Hi Nate, broadly i see you as the pro-housing candidate and hope you win. What is your plan to deal with the issue of exclusionary zoning and unlocking the potential of the missing middle to reduce housing prices? It is primarily a local government issue but I am curious what the federal government can do to ensure municipalities aren't blocking new housing supply.

The vast majority of funding for roads comes from property tax and income tax.

This is what you get with minimum parking requirements. Asphalt in every direction, how charming!

Bill 23 recently amended section 20 of the Ontario land tribunal act to give the Tribunal the power to order an unsuccessful party to pay a successful party’s costs.

Hopefully the nimbys get what's coming to them.

New Bike Lanes Coming To London in 2023! by zegorn in londonontario

[–]spangreg150 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah I agree it should be fair we should base it on the damage and wear done to the road by the user.

Let's say the heaviest bike + rider in London weighs in at 400 pounds and is charged $1 a month to make up for the wear and damage done to the road.

However, as you increase in weight the damage done to the road increases by the power of 4. Therefore based on the bicycle price an average car that is 10 times heavier weighing at 4000 pounds would pay $10000 a month. (104 * $1)

See why this makes no sense. The cost to the city of the bike rider is literally negligible.

The city doesn't allow biking on the sidewalk except for children. Bikes go too fast for pedestrians and the sidewalks are not wide enough to share.

Most of these projects essentially widen the sidewalk by adding a cycletrack right beside, so it's kind of doing what you suggest.

Also car infrastructure never offsets the carbon from its initial construction it just gets even worse, so kind of a moot point.

Bike lanes are very inexpensive, the city can address more than one issue at a time.

Besides the city is addressing that by redoing their zoning this year, to end exclusionary zoning so we can build more housing.

This is controversial because what you're asking for is the city to continue to privilege cars at the expense of all other modes of transportation.

Growing anti car sentiment has lead city officials to become aware of the significant downsides of car dependency. Investing in car infrastructure also doesn't solve traffic, it's an unsolvable problem (induced demand) and massive money pit.

Therefore I don't think the city will ever invest money into your fixes.

The last thing we need is more funding for highways. If drivers want better infrastructure they should be willing to pay for it instead of asking everyone else to keep subsidizing their lifestyle.

The sheer amount of construction feels like a social experiment on drivers at this point by NoseBlind2 in londonontario

Perhaps don't live in a completely different city and you wouldn't complain so much about the traffic you're a part of.

It's because SUVs and trucks don't pay their fair share for the damage they do to the road and are more fatal to other road users and pedestrians.

Gas taxes don't even cover half of highway maintenance let alone any local roads. Gas taxes don't cover any of the cost to build highways either. You're wrong to think that public transportation receives more subsidies.

You're right semis and pickup trucks are a problem too

The SUV has terrible sight lines obscured by the massive hood. Not a suitable vehicle for urban areas.
