Sigmoid-type activation functions were popular, probably for the bounded activity and some measure of analogy to biological neuron responses. They work, but get problematic scaling of gradient feedback outside their most dynamic span. My un

Does it still work out if you take into account the insurance premiums for a cargo ship stacked with batteries? Can't imagine the fire hazard is pretty.
