The number of neurons firing does matter, but what matters even more is how they all are connected.
I personally think once we get adequate algorithms and data structures out there, the metric will switch to numbers of lookup operations performed, and floating point operations will just be a multiplicative constant in front of the whole complexity formula.
With AIs like DALL-E, they usually end up looking terribly uncanny and sometimes all over the place.
Dear lord, that page sucked the lifeforce out of me. My condolences to those poor souls who worked on that.
Not trying to defend the parent comment going off about bouncy castle, but I have a hard time believing that statement is true. This is the share of photovoltaic pannel production per region.

People doing that kind crap have no limit to how low they're willing to drop their common decency to promote their shitty political agenda: They spread their lies over social networks, alienate the debate with inane affairs and waste valuable resources from the judicial system.
I'm glad those idiots are getting sued.
Finding good ones can be very problematic. The k-means process is a reasonable method to get good enough starting values without having to think/compute too much.

Just for this convenient use alone I would place them above PCA.
Popen(["the_tool"] + list(Path().glob("*.yml")))Saying "no" to other people's requests will put you in a position where you will be told "no" to any of your own.
Unless you're indispensable and never had to ask others for anything this is just career suicide.
I bought her a Minecraft account via my Microsoft one, getting her the necessary permission for multiplayer took an hour to do so, parsing through cryptic microsoft documentation which essentially consists of a maze of links that loop back to pages you already visited.
The funny thing is that one of my brother told me before I started that I could just download the pirated client, that way I wouldn't have to pay for Minecraft for the 938th time and the pirated client just works out of the box contrary to the official version.
It'd been years since I had to interact with anything Microsoft, I thought he was exagerating. What a shock when I realized pirates actually do a better job than MS at making their own products accessible.
> And now we have american media platforms saying 'yeah, it's fine to call for death to Russians'.
You're absolutely right in both regards but please do not conflate those two.
I'll weep zero tears over Putin's rich friends not being able to play with their yacht anymore, but common Russians having to leave their home country and suffering from heinous mob mentality outside have my dearest sympathy.
In the mean time, nuclear is a nice thing to invest in.
Is there even one?
Do the lambdas just loop back unto themselves??

Coming from a C background, I was getting distressed that all interesting low level libraries in all domains had already been written decades ago, but the field of opportunities they led to in return is a great source of inspiration and motivation!
Legos were among our favorite toys for me and my (6!) siblings. Sure we had a lot of arguments back then about who would get such and such rare pieces. But conflicts between young siblings rarely last long: we would always bargain, negotiate or cheat our way out of status quo and just continue building and playing. That's just what children do.
The author may have felt very smart removing legos altogether from those children and have them discuss about privileges and feelings instead. Sadly, inequalities and conflicts are extremely valuable things for kids to experience (to a reasonable extent of course) if only just for the fact that this is what they'll find outside.
By depriving those kids of situations where they could argue and work out settlements by themselves, and instead expecting them to behave like small adults able to come up with rationals about their supposed privilege or parrot the dominant mantra, you're undermining their ability to tackle real life, to learn how to become fair (and not naive) by themselves.
Sure kids need supervision. But give them too much of it and you'll be doing them a big disservice later.
Zuckerberg knows Facebook is turning into an hollow husk of its former self and the metaverse is his last ditch attempt to keep things together.
The game is odd but in a cute and charming way; it heavily incentivizes logical and out of the box thinking without looking as dry and austere as real programming; it is challenging, but with a well adjusted difficulty curve; and all in all it is a very fun game, whatever your age.
I bought it for my sister (around 10) and she's had a blast! I don't think she's particularly interested into getting into programming, but I think any children growing up to be programmers would reflect fondly on this game.
Benzos are bottom of the barrel drugs as far as I'm concerned.
The fact that they are still regularly prescribed by some doctors to the elderly (for no other good reason than to get them off their face) is borderline criminal.
Just the formulas alone teach you how physical quantities interact with one another and give you great insights on how the universe operates on a fundamental level.
Most people may not be using them at their everyday job, or at all for that matter, but knowing the core ones is just as enlightening if not more than having read major works in Philosophy.
I managed to do it in three guesses, but man was I slow.
So far it's going pretty well. I've got half of 常用 kanjies under my belt and ~1500 words of vocabulary that allow me to get a basic understanding of what's going on in easy mangas.
1000 more words and I plan on getting N3 cert.
It's just like running your own server: hard to do, many won't, but the fact that it is achievable using a reasonable amount of resources is a good thing on its own.
Same. Easiest way to fish for upvotes.
