One day we'll have biological networks of the size that can compete with today's biggest artificial neural networks, capable of running things like, well, ChatGPT. Then the philosophical questions will run even deeper....

Kind of reminds me of the X11 logo....

This is fantastic. Great work. Works well on my iPad but no ‘face’ just a blank screen. Crashes on my M1 Mac Air. Let me know if there’s anything I can do to help debug.

DT990 pro headphones all the way for my audio productions. Unfortunately a lack of sound-proofing possibilities has meant that monitors aren't really an option I can personally consider. Love the headphones though.. fellow audio profes

I was due to be in a meeting and was super anxious about it due to having to report out on some stuff I'd been working on. That morning, before the meeting, my dad texted me with the line "there is fear in all of them". Had a

Oh God.. I got as far as reading SAS statistical software. I briefly got my hands dirty with that a little over ten years ago and remember thinking at the time how it was the ugliest most bug ridden heap of shit I'd ever had the misfor

A fondness for this language led me to develop (for fun) my own take on POP11 a few years back. Its kind of ‘POP11 with braces’ (since it uses braces for block and function scope, etc.) — https://github.com/benhj/arrow

So assign random values to connection weights and then ‘spin’ those weights to a combination of other random values that hopefully perform a bit more favourably.. isn’t this just random search?

Is this satire? Looks like an advert for a toilet cleaner.

But how does it reverse? That’s what I’d like to know!

I think a lot of beginners would be put off by the verbosity of this.

It’s just a web browser. I mean it’s just a web browser. What is there to be so excited about? Really..?

How is this different to Strava?

As a runner, this is relatively useless without a GPS. Include that and sign me up in a heartbeat.

I stopped reading this when it became evident that the author was just promoting a library he’d written. I might have been a tiny bit more interested if I were a Rust developer.

Actually, you can still download and play this on modern platforms. I have it running on my Mac. http://dunelegacy.sourceforge.net/website/ and https://www.myabandonware.com/game/dune-ii-the-buildi

As a professional C++ developer, I’m always amazed when I see something like this implemented in bash. Cos why the fuck not indeed! Good stuff.

Given the standard RFC, the two initial slashes as in scheme:// are critical in any URL when you need to be able to distinguish between the authority and path component, as in scheme://authority/path as in http:&#x

Thankfully not, I’m terrible with a soldering iron. 13 inch mid 2010 MBP, model number 7.1, I think. I heard the latest MBPs have soldered ram. Horrible and one of the reasons why I’m not thinking of buying one (besides them being rather pr

Patched Catalina at least runs flawlessly on my mid 2010 MBP (7.1). (Note also, upgraded to 16GB ram — officially unsupported — and 500GB SSD). The machine absolutely flies. Using it for home recording and as my daily development (C++ most

Still working on my interpreted programming language https://github.com/benhj/arrow and it’s still slow as fuck. Fun though :-)

I guess one might say that the syntax is basically the parse tree, more or less?

Why is that? What’s special about lisp?

These examples blow my attempt at an interpreted programming language (thousands of lines over multiple source files) out of the water.. so impressive.

I wonder could the generated faces now be used to actually do further training? Even from scratch for other, similar GANs? Doing so might remove any privacy concerns about real world data being used to train these things (going forward)
