A simple neural network can accomplish symbol association by merely categorizing things, without any deep knowledge or understanding of them. Neural networks like this are trained with pavlovian methods, and are not self aware or conscious.

Every two years, a third of the senate is elected for a six year term. So no senate election can express the will of the entire nation.

It seems to me that if you're running on the same device, the gpu should not be a variable.

Has there been any discussion as to what happens after Neil's funding runs out? Is the school then going to start charging tuition?

I agree wholeheartedly. I've met too many developers who can't even use a command line.

You could charge something like a quarter percent for only a few months as a placement fee, and keep the standard $200 rate for all classes, with placement services as an option. While that's not as attractive as a full refund, it do

I'm really fond of Holberton's tuition scheme, where you pay 25% of your salary for two years after graduation. In this scheme, everyone is incentivized to help the student get a high paying job, so the school simply can't

On a per mass, or per nucleon basis, fusion wins hands-down: one gram of deuterium results in 10^12 J of energy, or 275 million kcal. Fission gives a comparatively small 20 million kcal per gram of 235U. So fusion is over ten times as poten

Outlawing encryption in impractical for a whole number of reasons. But what the government wants is a situation where encryption is only available to sophisticated users. That means no default encryption on phones or apps, for example.

The real irony of that example is that game consoles would be one of the secure methods of communication that would persist if encryption somehow disappeared. Messages can be sent by in game actions which are very difficult to monitor, even

Anecdotally, I only see "cyber" in security-related discussions.

Chess isn't random, it's chaotic. Where randomness is unpredictable, chaos is deterministic but so computationally complex that it can't practically be solved. Chess is the art of navigating that chaos.

My experience is that tactics is a spectrum. You can always improve your tactics, no matter who you are. There is no player who never makes tactical mistakes. Whenever you feel like it's positional understanding that holds you back, th

"the rational behavior would be to read the code, understand what it does, and reject it if it doesn't work for their use case." This just isn't practical in most cases. I just don't have time to read the source of

This is not going to make a dent in prices. It would take developments of similar scale in every municipality in the region to begin to address the problem.
