Lecture 2 went a bit over time, left 15 mins for exercise...

Second day morning still a bit of a mess, switching between slides exercise explanation etc. Need a clearer script.

Here are some notes I took during the course:

• Test tensor board on LUMI and update instructions in the day 2 README
• Add a note about "pip install –user tensorflow-hub" for exercise 5
• Possibly idea: make a dedicated PowerPoint for exercise slides
• Make a bigger reservation on Puhti
• Create a mailing list for course organisers so everyone can help in case of issue received by email
• Do we propose solutions for Day 2 exercises?
