Let me clarify. In this particular case there has been plenty of arguing already and no progress in more than 50 years. So I'm suggesting it is time to start experimenting more.

What is need is less arguing and more experimenting. That's how this will be resolved.

I suspect a human trained exactly like this and with zero previous knowledge would have have the same or worse performance. What is the surprise here? That deep learning is not magic? Do people working in A.I. not know how animals and human

That's the beauty of the relational model, it doesn't specify data structures. Those can be added later by indexes. For more info check https://www.researchgate.net/publication/2364452_Data_Struct...

So, almost 80% of emissions come from transportation, electricity production and industry[1] but let's focus on diets(9%) and forests. I'm all for better diets and better managing of forests but this is like saying that to put out

Making a language "in the heat of the programming battle" is indeed a very bad idea. So is making a lib. On the other hand I really would like to see a world with 10s or even 100s of little (preferably non Turing complete) languag

As long as the code does what it is supposed to do with acceptable performance then I don't comment and approve the PR. Because unlike people that think there are right ways I know that it's all religious arguments. Last I checked

I think this says more about your lack of knowledge. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKSvu3mj-14 for more information. EDIT: To provide a bit more information. I provide a video because I think it is much more impactful

I would like to see a more systematic solution to this problem. Most computers don't have a way to choose between throughput and real-time. So, I would love to see this available and preferably exposed as a run-time toggle.

They don't here is what Bell said: "There is a way to escape the inference of superluminal speeds and spooky action at a distance. But it involves absolute determinism in the universe, the complete absence of free will. Suppose th

At least for software engineering we should realize that after some time(probably 3h) per day/sleep we are doing negative work. At that point we are most likely creating more problems/bugs than working code. Actually this just rem

Bell's theorem has not proven anything because it assumes free will.[1] This has not been shown to exist. [1] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superdeterminism

If this code is correct(and it appears to be), then it show to me that a small portion of code explains this idea much better than the dozens of explanations I found on the internet. The frustrating part is reading lots of words/math f
