Full native isolation. HTML, CSS, JS, the whole thing, no tricks, the browser isolates it for you. It's really nice to be able to make a web component, clearly define the JS, HTML and even CSS API in terms of variables, and then throw

Plain HTML and JS, aka a web browser. I know it's every programmers favourite past time to hate on the web platform, but BASIC had a similar hate, yet it kind of was a well placed language for beginners. The web browser is the closest

You're arguing against a principle that applies to physical libraries (Who also have films btw)...so are physical libraries also nonsense? Libraries do not serve the interest of publishers (and let's just focus on publishers becau

Agreed. This might sound like a lot of work for the uninitiated, but installing Linux on a cheap used Thinkpad is super easy these days. Trying to do dev on Apple devices, let alone an iPad is a much harder path. Get a cheap Linux laptop an

Is there even a hypothesis of mechanism in here? It feels like most papers these days lean heavily on correlation... Did we learn nothing from 20th century nutrition? This just isn't good enough.

Yeah that example came to my mind too. I suspect there may be trade off undergoing evolutionary selection here, where for some organisms a behaviour is more important from the offset, it's worth encoding more of the behaviour into gene

That's not a proportional comparison, n simultaneous users to 1 training. How many users across how many GPUs is that 80k? With PNN you would have to multiply n by 1-4 million, training cost explodes.

by tomxor 2y ago
Yes, but training is the most expensive part of ML, for example GPT-3 is estimated to cost something like 1-4 million USD. With ANN you can do it one time and then clone the result for negligible energy cost. Maybe training a batch of PNNs
