Tongatapu 8

Tongatapu 8 is an electoral constituency for the Legislative Assembly in the Kingdom of Tonga. It was established for the November 2010 general election, when the multi-seat regional constituencies for People's Representatives were replaced by single-seat constituencies, electing one representative via the first past the post electoral system. Located on the country's main island, Tongatapu, it encompasses the villages of Malapo, Vaini, Longoteme, Folaha, Nukuhetulu, Kauvai, and Veitongo.[1]

Turnout
gollark: Instead of using something something backpropagation to optimise the match between the text and VQGAN output image a neural network is used to approximate that.
gollark: There's "feedforward CLIP VQGAN" or something which is *much* faster but worse.
gollark: Anyway, excluding the tensor cores and VRAM, standard colab's T4s are worse than a 1080 Ti. The K80 is worse than most recent things and you often get those now.
gollark: If you use it heavily you may as well just buy a P100 on eBay, they're "just" £600 or so now.
gollark: It's worse now! There's a Pro+ for 5 times as much and Pro people mostly get T4s.
