Structure
The tractate consists of five chapters with a total of 42 mishnayot. Its Babylonian Talmud version is of 40 pages and its Jerusalem Talmud version is of 22 pages.
An overview of the content of chapters is as follows:
- Chapter 1 (Hebrew: בֵּיצָה, romanized: Beitzah, lit. 'Egg') has ten mishnayot. The main theme of this chapter is the law of muktzeh, which is "a thing laid aside" and that cannot be used at the present time. There is a difference of opinion between the schools of Shammai and Hillel as to the force of the law of muktzeh, specifically the application of the carrying prohibition to holy days. [1]
- Chapter 2 (Hebrew: יוֹם טוֹב, romanized: Yom Tov, lit. 'Holiday') has ten mishnayot.
- Chapter 3 (Hebrew: אֵין צָדִין, romanized: Ein Tzadin) has eight mishnayot.
- Chapter 4 (Hebrew: הַמֵּבִיא, romanized: Hamevi) has seven mishnayot.
- Chapter 5 (Hebrew: מַשִּׁילִין, romanized: Mashelin) has seven mishnayot.
gollark: It's quite strange that apparently BERT can be statically quantized without any extra training and retains decent accuracy but GPT-Neo emits nonsense going through the same process.
gollark: I was looking into quantization-aware training a while ago, but on the 125M model, and running that for a bit made it produce English-looking nonsense instead of random noise.
gollark: I think there's technically a way to swap bits of the model in and out of VRAM but it would still be quite slow.
gollark: You need a recent GPU with something like 16GB of VRAM.
gollark: There's probably documentation in the mesh-transformer-jax repo too.
