Fastai on Apple M1

Yes, but no training, no GPU usage, inference and tutorial writing only.
Here is speed test:

A I have benchmarked the CPU speed of (patch extraction + HardNet, 3206 descriptors) on x86 (Rosetta) and arm64(native) with kornia

native: 3.46 s
x86: 7.78 s

Baselines:
Colab CPU: 6.43 s
Colab GPU: 141 ms

So, while it is nice and fast for CPU, it is nowhere near any GPU performance.
