80th Infantry Division La Spezia
80th Infantry Division La Spezia was an Airlanding Division of the Italian Army during World War II. The La Spezia was formed in 1941, for the planned Invasion of Malta.[1] When the invasion was cancelled the Division was instead transferred to Libya in October 1942.[1] In December it was reinforced by a battalion of the San Marco Marines and additional artillery.[2] It suffered heavy losses during the Battle of the Mareth Line in Tunisia in March 1943 and the surviving elements surrendered in May 1943.[1][3]

gollark: The color to intensity mapping looks annoying and hard.
gollark: If you want to use the NLI model instead of a semantic search-y thing, you probably will have bad performance issues since it *does* actually have to compare all the input sentences against all the example sentences using a full pass through the model.
gollark: That just puts the tokenized tokens onto the GPU, not the model. I would expect that to just error, actually, if the model and tokens are on separate devices.
gollark: No, that thing is fine, but your *other* model is not being loaded onto the GPU.
gollark: https://www.sbert.net/examples/applications/semantic-search/README.html is kind of like what you want.
