Part of that is the ndarray crate, which IMO is too generic often, making syntax complicated. The nalgebra crate is a bit nicer IMO, example: https://github.com/martinxyz/progenitor/blob/85260/crates&#x2F

I know that wind turbines tend to shut down to protect themselves, so probably not great. Out of curiosity, I asked ChatGPT, and interestingly it added the following: "Fossil fuel-based power plants, such as coal and natural gas, can a

It's a fair warning, but (apart from the "over-controlling parent" track), the book is not all about those things. I find a classic like Dostoevsky's "Crime and Punishment" more disturbing (still worth it), t

No expert, but the way I remember it from the book, it's one idea how an evolutionary path towards consciousness might start. First it's just a nerve-path to prevent flinching back from the contact with something you wanted to man

Having read that book, yes, "Octopuses are cool" is a pretty good summary. It's worth reading it for that. On the biology part, if you never have heard of terms like "efference copy" it will be interesting food for

If you measure "amount of paid work done" then most (not sure if all) experiments were failures. If you also count unpaid work, education and health benefits[1] then things get interesting. [1] https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.
