Cornu is also an accomplished track cyclist, winning the Individual Pursuit at the 2006 Belgian Track Cycling Championships.[3] In addition to Cornu's time trialing skills he is also a promising cobblestone rider, having won the Under-23 edition of the prestigious Omloop "Het Volk" cycling classic in 2006.

gollark: Did anyone try quantizing the GPT-Neo models to int8? Just using the pytorch dynamic quantization thing (on the 125M one, due to RAM limitations) seems to add enough noise that it just produces nonsense.
