I've been having problems with my Mac M1 laptop display (4 years old), and this kicked them back in. But to be clear: display was already having issues and i have a service appointment to get it replaced

Love this! I once had a go* and failed.. this is really a step forward. I think there's an important general principle about the role/capabilities of the external driver/operator that's party addressed here in the blog

Their site does have IFC for that project tho and I've loaded it in Bldrs, so seems fine there. Yeah, IFC is neat. It's actually a dialect of STEP, so able to carry the geometry and tons of BIM metadata. We've estimated the

That's really interesting about Github-based versioning. My company (bldrs.ai) makes a webapp that views IFC (soon STEP) and has github integration, so any *.ifc path on GH can be pasted into our search for viz. I'm not seeing an

Ah yes, Perceptron. Had a couple typos.. sorry, was on phone. The bio-inspiration was via Frank Rosenblatt, who is referred to in that article tho yeah, the history is over in his article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki&#x2F

So like in my sister reply, I don't see the Backprop, but maybe I'm missing it. This article does use the word, but in a generic way "For example, when doing the backpropagation (the technique through which the models learn)

Agreed Hebbian learning isn't used.. just meant it as an example of what would signal a NN. For Backprop, I'm basing this off the development of the Perception. Wiki supports this and its bio-inslired origin[1]. As for its use in

by pmayrgundter 3y ago
This is all true in a neutral net, but Transformers aren't Neural Nets in the traditional sense. I was under that impression originally, but there's not a back propagation or Hebbian learning here, which were the key bits of biom

Thank you. I was never able to find this again. Really enjoyed it!

Went digging a bit. It's a "small molecule" (C21-H20-N2-O5) and commercialy available at $10/mg[1]. Presumably this would come down quite a bit if it were widely stocked. The studies say they are looking at doses of

I wouldn't disagree with the high mortality from pollution toxins. I've never looked closely, but also seems common sense. As for how much greening benefits offset costs, I was mildly frustrated by the downvoting :) and went res

The actuarial account for fossil fuels is important, but I've come across this set of summary items many times and it ignores the positive effects of CO2, which have been substantial. This is a great benefit for many ecosystems and al

None of the explanations gave me an intuition for it except the circle rolling down a straight line with the same length as its circumference. A roll down the line will rotate the circle once. Coming back the same. But rolling around one

anyone really interested, i'm just rereading an earlyish (2010) paper by Sergeyev.. it's amazing https://www.theinfinitycomputer.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/...

As a longtime NYC resident, the conventional wisdom is that much of the landfill for the buildings of the city went to expand shoreline of Lower Manhattan. This was well reported for major digs like WTC/WFC, which created Northwest Bat

I thought it does need to be trained (via self-play) to recognize patterns bc the game space is too large to exhaustively visit Looks like it used to be brute force, as you say, but has since incorporated an NN after ita loss to AlphaZero

A note on the type and number of the texts, from the site: "Early attempts to open the scrolls unfortunately destroy many of them. A few are painstakingly unrolled by an Italian monk over several decades, and they are found to contain

thx all, yeah, suspected as much. I guess it's also their maiden trip, so maybe they'll tune up the route in the future. I think when Acela started in Northeast it took awhile before it was regularly up to speed

How is this 125 mph when it's same travel time as by car? YT vid says Journey Time: 3 hr 33 min Google maps says this 3h30m by car MCO to MIA. Security overhead on the train looks medium, with TSA-style scanners but otherwise normal wa
