Did you actually read what I wrote or the context behind it? I don’t think you did.

I am saying not everyone wants to learn these things just for the sake of it. Some people want to learn the parts of maths that are more practical and want to be given practical examples. I don’t see a problem with accommodating those students or looking down on people who think that way like the original commenter was doing.

What I am not saying is that no one should learn any maths at all. I don’t know how you got that from my comment. It’s like you are deliberately trying to misinterpret what I am saying.

Not really. Not everyone enjoys advanced mathematics the same way not everyone enjoys english literature or engineering, or arts and crafts. People have different interests, aptitudes, and skills. That’s how the world works.

Believe it or not but the Pixel phones are some of the easiest to unlock and flash. You install graphene OS just through a web browser it’s that easy. It is somewhat ironic given this move.

I don’t think that’s actually true. To do AC to AC conversion at grid frequencies normally requires large inefficient transformers. A PC power supply is an example of a switch mode power supply. Basically what happens is: AC mains -> DC (at mains voltage) -> AC (high frequency, mains voltage) -> transformer -> AC (low voltage, still high frequency) -> DC (low voltage). Why do all this? Because doing the voltage conversion at grid frequency would need a much bigger transformer. They could just do the voltage conversion at grid frequency and only have to rectify once with no conversion back to ac, but it’s actually less efficient and requires more expensive hardware. So actually DC to DC conversion is more efficient, even if it means using high frequency AC in the middle. Not all switch mode supplies use this AC trick, though they do all involve switching current. buck and boost converters are used in smartphones, laptops, motherboards don’t have any transformer and are incredibly compact and efficient.The fact that many many things also need DC would be a bonus. Recitifying single phase AC at low frequency is not the most efficient thing in the world. Three phase is better, but having straight DC and only needing to change voltage would probably be best.

Aren’t switching mode power supplies smaller and more efficient than regular AC transformers anyway?

We aren’t actually talking about the matrix here

People are essentially internal combustion engines that burn food. Trying to capture that energy in ways that increases the load on us just causes us to need more calories. That’s counter productive as you could just burn said food itself to get energy, and agriculture is an energy and environmentally intensive industry to begin with.

It’s not just general intelligence that people discriminate on. For example it might be decided that emotional intelligence is what’s important, and that therefore one gender must be superior because they have more. It could be aggression or resilience. There are lots of reasons why people think that men or women are better besides general intelligence. So saying that there are any biological differences becomes something that either misandry or misogyny can exploit.

There is a vast difference between ascertaining that someone is or is not a racist and asking about their religion and political affiliations. Do you not understand that difference?

If you meant racism you should have said that. Saying politically and theologically compatible implies a lot more than that. In fact it implies they have to be the same religion, which is being bigoted in itself.

Making sure the parents of your kids friends are compatible politically and theologically sounds incredibly dodgy to me.

I will say this as well: strict parents raise sneaky children

Actually we know the system prompt. It doesn’t have “I am a sentient being” anywhere in it. Stop making stuff up.

To be more specific this is an MLP (Multi-Layer Perceptron). Neural Network is a catch all term that includes other things such as Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs), Diffusion models and of course Transformers.

What you are arguing online is some variant of a Generative Pre-trained Transformer, which do have MLP or MoE layers but that’s only one part of what they are. They also have multi-headed attention mechanisms and embedding + unembedding vectors.

I know all this and wouldn’t call myself a machine learning expert. I just use the things. Though I did once train a simple MLP like the one in the picture. I think it’s quite bad calling yourself a machine learning expert and not knowing all of this stuff and more.

How do you create an account if you already have one here? Do I need to go through the whole sign up process again?

They do provide vaccines. Just not for flu specifically.

They actually make some planes from composites now. You should see the 787! Then again American made Boeing planes tend to crash or have other safety issues so maybe don’t go and see one.

Exactly

That’s another one I don’t understand. In my country at least when I grew up (born 2001) most kids didn’t get chickenpox vaccines. I didn’t have one and actually caught the virus. I think I even had a scar from it. I know someone about 4 years younger than me who also is scarred from it. Not sure if they started giving it out now. I certainly hope so.
