The article explains so little, so it's hard to know. Neural networks generally don't learn by themselves, they require some kind of optimisation outside of their operation. It seems to me that they're saying this is more of

I don't think that's what they meant. I interpreted it to mean: neural networks are not trained in a continuous online manner. That said, there are neural network architectures which have state, such as recurrent neural networks,

This isn't a limitation of the storage, the card has a UHS-I interface, which has a bus speed of 104MB/s. UHS-II cards exist and are somewhat faster. The upcoming microSD Express interface standard will support a 985MB/s bus

I find it unrealistic to expect a sudden course correction with such great economic impact. It thus seems inevitable to me that we'll be employing some kind of drastic climate management solution, e.g. filling the atmosphere with sulph

I wonder if this is less a problem with the media, and more with unstable supply of power to the devices. Perhaps relevantly, SDHC and SDXC support two voltage modes.

Even this isn't enough. Sometimes mutually untrusted parties must exchange data (say you're running a trading platform, or a social network). You have to ensure every point of interaction between such parties is immune to timing a

Ultimately cloud providers don't want revenue, they want profit. Except in some perverse cases (like cost-plus-percentage contracts), it's not generally in a business's interests for their costs to go up. Even if there's

I find this notion ridiculous. There are many industries like farming and mining which are now highly mechanised and employ a tiny fraction of what they did. As a result, food and minerals are cheap, fewer workers have to put their lives at

This is indeed a problem, but doesn't appear to be the issue in this case. In a sense, this is the opposite. It's more like: The law says: pressure vessels must be pretty sturdy even when really hot. A standard comes along and pro

It technically isn't. The annotations in question are expert's analyses of the law, approved by the state. The defendant was told he could publish the actual law, and his own analysis. However it gets really murky when “Georgia’s

This doesn't make sense. Nobody is expecting Qatar (with the highest per capita emissions) to make the largest contribution to fixing the problem. What's important is the actual reduction in emissions, and the jurisdiction with co

For me, control in technology does not mean being able to go and press buttons in a maze of options. Control means being able to use an ad-blocking plugin in a browser written by an ad-tech company, to use off-brand ink in a printer, or to

Taking this idea more seriously than intended: is this practical? I've heard of CPU clusters being used for network distributed realtime raytracing. Is there a DirectX / OpenGL API implementation for this?

Infinity Fabric / HyperTransport is generally lower level and lower latency than PCIe. It's aimed more for use as a front-side bus than a peripheral interconnect. A better analogue would be Intel's QuickPath Interconnect.
