I'll say it again, this "discussion" is just bike shedding. [0] As an example, not everyone can have an opinion on how much of a role deep learning should/will play in a self driving car, of what types of deep learning m

I don't get the point, we know exactly what they're doing, so why do it? I wish press releases didn't make me parse what they're really saying. I know "marketing" works, but if I was a satellite company, I woul

In a helicopter if your engine stops working, you start falling. Falling produces wind on your rotor blades and causes them to spin faster. Blades spinning faster makes you to stop falling. This effect is called autorotation and you control

For those interested in vaporwave here's a "documentary" [0]. If you're interested you should listen to this album [1]. I like anything by t e l e p a t h テレパシー能力者, like [2] and [3] are good albums. There's a relat

Old account that only posts NVIDIA links, who's only comment is this one. No one was "actually speechless" about your sales pitch for a GPU slightly better than the last one.

Most razors are for double edged blades. All double edge blades are interchangeable. My understanding is that there are also single edged razors that don't work with double edged blades, but they are way less popular. /r/wick

Old fashioned safety razors are still very much a thing [0], 30$ for a handle and another 30$ for 100 blades, I switch blades every 2 weeks.

No, that's how they come out of the model. Using larger images means your code runs much (exponentially) slower, and gives you only slightly (asymptotically) better results so people usually use tiny images. All their outputs are 32*32

First we called them programs, then we called them apps, now we call them AI. People (paradoxically) really want to live in the future right now, but I think all of this is very premature.

The words "deep learning" don't refer to a way of training neural nets. It's a marketing term for neural nets that have "a lot" of layers. Neural nets have been around for over 30 years, calling them deep learn

How is living on Mars significantly harsher than the ISS? You would get resupply missions once every 2 years [0] instead of 10 times a year, but in general they share most of the downsides but Mars has soil, gravity and an atmosphere. [0]
