GitHub has its Copilot service that we can pay a subscription for. It is a coding assistant in your IDE, which requires a plugin on your editor and performs auto-complete for the code you typed. There are off-the-shelf language models that can generate code like GitHub’s Copilot. But the model...

Conda and CUDA
If we want to run TensorFlow or PyTorch with CUDA on Linux, for example, we can install CUDA as a system library first and then install the Python package with pip (or via apt-get, in the rare case). This way, the package will find the CUDA library at system locations....

Wang et al (2021) Real-ESRGAN
This is to extend the SR-GAN and ESR-GAN to do blind super-resolution. The
problem statement is to reconstruct the high-resolution image from low
resolution (a.k.a. super-resolution), but without knowing how the low
resolution is derived from the original high-resolution image, i.e.,
blind super-resolution.

Ledig et al (2017) Photo-Realistic Single Image Super-Resolution Using a Generative Adversarial Network
This is the “SR-GAN” paper. The problem of upscaling a photo with details is called “SISR” as in the title. This paper takes a 4x upscaling as an example problem and build a GAN model to do it.
