In theory if you had a source-to-source automatic differentiator (a programme which takes the source code for another programme f and outputs the source code for its derivative f'), then you could run backpropagation through that progr

FWIW I have the Bose NC 700 and the Bluetooth pairing is seamless. I can be paired to multiple devices at once; if I’m playing music from my laptop but receive a call from my phone then the Bose are smart enough to pause music on my laptop

It depends on the use case. I find Inferno/Viridis perfectly good for representing one-dimensional gradients. They're easier to glance at then a single hue and show contrast between min/max better. Greyscale and single hue ca

The luminance peak in the center is by design - that's clear in its parabolic gradient. Whether this is desirable or not depends on your use case. On this point I don't see Turbo is being a do it all colormap. In the depth compari
