>"home in" only makes sense if you are trying to return Under that interpretation, homing missiles sound like a really bad idea.

For some reason it sometimes seems as if people would rather everybody is responsible for everybody else's bad decisions but never their own. It's crazy, I know.

For some time many graphics cards had a 16 bit "hi-color" mode with 5:6:5 bits for RGB (SVGA, etc.). Most graphics card modes that used only 8 bits per pixel used that value as an index into an 256x(8x3) bit color palette (MCGA, V

Sounds downright fair in comparison to Germany, where you have to pay a TV license fee for having a home, no TV set required.

Among other things, I'd expect that depends very much on the dataset. Imagine some data, where 10% of the examples are significantly harder than the rest. Then going from 91% to 92% test set accuracy may actually indicated double the p

Not quite, but it's sure vastly more efficient than swapping floppy disks.

Nice, but it seems the method is not exactly new. Here's a short nature article from the 2nd of March 2016 talking about the same research programme on catalysts at Cardiff University. https://www.nature.com/articles&#x

Nah, I think it still makes sense to have a connectionless version. There are Linux folks who object to the concept of application firewalls and don't use any.

Genuine question here, why go through all the trouble of manually removing the networking code? Wouldn't it be much easier to replace the import/include/whatever of the low level networking bindings with a stub library where

Uh, came here to make essentially the same remark, but as criticism. A mere world model, however perfect, is a really hollow definition of intelligence IMHO. It's the definition of a tool, at best. It's only with the introduction

Also, don't restrict allowed characters unnecessarily. It's just stupid to have "Use special characters, but only !$() and _ are allowed!". God, why?

One of the drawbacks of managers who are not good engineers themselves is that they lack the ability and knowledge to distinguish between truly excellent talent and pretenders. That's an organisational deficiency.
