Thanks Viral, Let me know if I can be of any help testing a newer version of Jupyter (if installing a newer version is feasible and not too time consuming). Or I could point my iPad to a test version, whatever is easiest.
As far as testing dedicated compute engines is concerned I am also very interested, not just for Stan, but more so for some components of item 3 in below’s postscript Inspired by another utopia thread on this list, the dream here is to make this awesome tripleJ-some (Julia, Jupyter and Juliabox) a solid foundation for cloud-based EDx courses.
