Meant as a test of building this notebook on CircleCI, have been having some problems with it unfortunately.
Not least of which was that when I tried to use a larger resource than I was allowed on CircleCI, it doesn't seem to return a failure code to the check running on the PR, so it just keeps waiting forever.
I closed the original test PR and opened this one to hopefully get out of that problem.
