Hi G—,
Thanks for getting in touch. I am not interested in working at Uber for a number of reasons, which are probably all-too-familiar to you.
Labor issues, specifically the abuse of "dependent contractors”

Lack of transparency around pay, a willingness to change pay out from under drivers (who have very little recourse)

I got Torch + CUDA working on a Ubuntu 14.04 g2.2xlarge EC2 instance using these instructions. Get the latest CUDA install package by consulting https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads#linux and grabbing the most recent. (7.0 at time of writing).
I also made a public AMI with this, plus Dan Hon's char-rnn fork pre-installed.
It's ami-9bcadbab, or dreaming-prose-public, in the us-west-2 (Oregon) region. You should be able to copy it to another region if you need to. You can launch an instance in the EC2 console at this URL: https://us-west-2.console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/v2/home?region=us-west-2#LaunchInstanceWizard:ami=ami-9bcadbab
You'll need a g2.2xlarge or g2.8xlarge instance or there'll be no CUDA for you...

TOKE is a collaborative environment for learning and teaching topics with high levels of dependencies. It allows authors of articles to specify the prerequisites for each topic they write about and then dynamically transforms these prerequisite relationships into linear curricula that work for students with all different levels of pre-existing experience. TOKE makes it easy for people with a wide range of expertise to contribute knowledge at different levels of detail and it organizes this knowledge into a customized student-centered form for ease of learning.
