I really enjoy the australian cartoon Bluey, and think it generally does a good job demoing "practical" childhood skills. And parenting skills, for that matter.

Thank you! These look very well-tailored. As for systems/protocols, all I know at the moment is that some of it currently uses Zabbix. It's multi-departmental so fact-finding goes slowly. I'm an industrial IoT guy at heart, s

Your hypothesis feel correct, and is one of two three parts that I feel are missing from current deep learning networks. 1) Pre-existing structures that are already specialized for the necessary tasks, but untrained. We kind of mimic this w

Some people predict that feature shrinking may end around 2025 with an inability to go below 2nm. If that's the case, Intel (and everyone else) will get time to "catch up" to the latest technology standards around 2030. TSMC
