To be honest BPF is one of those acronyms that I think might be more recognizable as the acronym than what it actually stands for.
Not quite as much as Radar or Laser, but halfway there.
- dwattttt 5mo agoAnd today I learned this has a name, anacronym! An acronym that has become so common, it's treated as a word instead of an acronym.
- backprop1989 5mo agoAnd to be really pedantic about it, an acronym is pronounceable, like "NASA", so BPF is actually an initialism!
- dwattttt 5mo agoAn initialism, yet now an aninitialism.
