As someone who actually has a university degree in Artificial Intelligence, I feel like this is always how it's been. Before, an "AI Expert" was someone who knew how to use Tensorflow, PyTorch or Keras. Before that, an "

Technically, if you are obese wouldn't you have more cells, and therefore a higher total number of mitochondria? Silly example of course, but what is the obvious benefit of having a higher number of mitochondria in your body?

Well it depends whether you're going to import all of warp or just the functions you need. But you're right for the most part, if you're just going to do "import warp" then my math is off indeed. Anyway, I also don&

There is no way that "warp" is already such a household name that it's common enough to shorten it to "wp". Likewise, the libraries at OP's company are for sure not going to be common to anyone starting out at

Sorry, I thought that all foods (animal-based or plant-based) are carcinogens when burnt, but I don't actually know if that's true. I know that I avoid burnt vegetables for that reason. It's likely that self-reporting is inde

Honestly, I wish media would be pushing the idea that plant-based diets are healthier. Instead, all I see in the media is advertisements for meat and dairy products. Doctors tell me that "oh maybe it's because you're vegan?&q

So you're saying that you believe it's possible that the problem with meat isn't the meat itself, but it's possibly just the way that it's consumed, e.g. burnt and with lots of sauce (as an example). But to me that

Ironically, you can probably just ask a Transformer model to explain it to you. I'm the same as you: I have no problem grasping complex concepts, I just always struggled with the mathematical notation. I did pass linear algebra in univ

Depends on whether a "side" is an "edge" of a "face" in geometry terms. An edge must be two-dimensional (so flat), a face can be three-dimensional (like a curved ribbon).

If the coin is perfectly circular, is does in fact have only 2 sides (as a perfect circle has no sides). If the coin is not perfectly circular, but is (at some microscopic level) full of edges, it could have a near infinite amount of sides.
