History

The Hudson School was founded in the fall of 1978 by Suellen Newman, with the financial assistance of the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation, as an alternative to the available educational institutions in the local area. The school seeks to foster the Three C's ("courage, compassion and commitment") in its students,[6] who are admitted because "they demonstrate a love of learning and don't mind a bit of hard work." In 1992, a high school was opened, since there were few high schools in the area with strong humanities and arts programs that admitted girls. [7] The school moved to its current location in 2002.

gollark: What? No. If you're running the same model on a lot of GPUs then yes, but if you're running something bigger than VRAM it has to shuffle a lot of tensors around.
gollark: There is a reason big GPU clusters involve such fancy high-speed interconnects.
gollark: The internet is *not fast enough*.
gollark: What? You literally cannot do that.
gollark: I'm aware. But those are bought from large companies in data centres and sometimes in clusters.
