Oh come on! It is not because I spend most of my life inside a terminal that I don't prefer simple things over complicated ones. Technical doesn't mean "unnecessarily complicated", it means "rich, expressive and bu

Actually, the video suggests that the complicated part is not the baking process itself, but the handling of thousands of blocks of different types and colors.

The way I understand it, the two subproblems are supervised in the sense that they are trained using data sampled from a fixed distribution, instead of data sampled from a distribution that changes as you update your model, as it is usually

For downvoters: it's a fine project, but I don't think they can fly planes at higher speed, lower cost, and lower carbon emissions, without a major technology shift. It is hardly controversial. Most likely: they do care, but it is

Neutral would be good, but I doubt that they are serious about this. Otherwise, they wouldn't build their plane around gas turbines, which create trust from burning carbon compounds.

by bnegreve 6y ago
Actually, I find worrying that you can build a plane that creates trust from breaking long carbon chains into CO2 and, at the same time, publicly announce that it will be "carbon neutral" some day.

I don't think Relus are the proplem. Relus are good, but artificial neural networks can work with sigmoid activation fonctions instead. The neurones in an ANN with sigmoids are somewhat close to what is described in this article. The m

By this logic, no one should ever publish anything criticizing Facebook on Facebook, and it becomes impossible for the article to reach its targeted audience (people using Facebook).

No I haven't, but I've failed to convince you, it seems. It does make a difference because the chip designer doesn't know or doesn't care how the chip is going to be packaged and where the pins are going to be placed on

In other words, the standard numbering has the nice property that two pins with a consecutive id number are always relatively close to eachother (whatever the package).
117.
by bnegreve 6y ago
Yes, consecutive pins are often related in some way. Let say pin 3,4,5 and 6 belong to the same port, and must be connected to a connector on the other side of the PCB. If pins were numbered by columns, you would have to connect two tracks
