This was really useful for me. Seeing the c64 basic code produced (0) is only 6000 lines, a comparison to how a human would (re-)write the SIN() function is now feasible. (0) https://github.com/nickbild/tflite_c64/

I want to second the 'extremely basic' part. But, yes, it is biomimicry. Computer scientists looked at actual neuronal networks in animals, and said 'let's try to do some extremely simplified version of that' and th

I think it's hilarious that biomimicry is considered a recent thing. I had a children's book (mid-1970s, judging by the design) which didn't use the word, but explained two dozen examples where humans looked at a natural thin

Doesn't this just mean the rich decide? Please correct me if I am wrong, but that is what it sounds to me. (And yes, I understand that POW means the 'compute-rich' decide.)

I had an old iPad (before retina) and used it for general tasks, sometimes. My newer hiDPI iPad has become my primary device for everything but actual work. I would never have read a book on the old iPad, I read several in hiDPI. It really

I think there is a need for cybersecurity, especially as climate protest actions are becoming more militant over time. I don't know where you are located, (and how much militancy you are ready for), so I can't point you to specifi

Hey Monster, what you write isn't too logical. For 'banning the UN for misinformation' there logically needs to be misinformation. While you might not like the tone of the article, I couldn't find any claim that is demon

The article asks you to understand that any successful 'let's end hunger' programme has powerful antagonists, even though they might well prefer not to show their antagonism openly.

I have a really bad feeling about this technique. Change your webcam output to 3 fps, mumble something about a bad connection, and Bob's your uncle. But more fundamentally: If I am deepfaking my appearance on video call, I have full co

I think this internet probably still exists, in a different form of course (15years later). I just think its discoverability has been swamped by the platforms overwhelming everything with low-effort-to-consume autoplay-until-I-fall-asleep c

While this claim is a bit dubious (at present), as Tesla had lockdown-related problems, and BYD vehicles are just as likely to be plug-in hybrids as full EVs, the trend looks like, by the end of the year, Volkswagen will likely sell more EV
