I guess conveyor belts under the wheels would have similar results, probably with less moving parts. But then... why bother, just plug the car to the power source making your marry-go-round go round! Otherwise this is a lot like putting sal

I meant to write most i7 machines with a GPU where I trained my models . My post was about the lack of adequate SDKs for the NE on the M1. I don't know why the fuck you grabbed that tiny fraction and just ran off with it like I was wr

I'm still trying to find a way to monitor the Neural Engine on my Macbook air M1, but the APIs are non-existent, there's barely anything in the docs and no answer from Apple. My models train fast, 3x faster than most i7 computers

It's not a contradiction. Maximum speeds for information transfer in communications and computers is in the .67c zone. Research that could speed that up closer to 1c is possible (and welcome), which doesn't mean information will e

The irony: despite Mark Twain's vicious rant, German is quite consistent on following the spelling, just like Spanish et al. That doesn't mean some phonemes aren't hard to pronounce for the uninitiated, nor does it exclude ac

Mincemeat used to contain beef. Now, typically, it doesn't, although I recall having mince pie with beef and brandy in Swindon in another life. So maybe this is not good example of English being like a Mark Twain's German schizo

Just to finish my thought here... The problem deep down is that there is a market for your personal data. If you destroy that market (ie stiffer regulation) most problems with lock-in go away. Lock-in in itself can also be dealt with, ie Br
