    Nah, you've got it backwards. The article isn't about dodging understanding - it's about making it way easier to spot patterns in your code. And that's exactly how you start to rea…

    Can anyone explain how an LLM is useful here? The clustering is done traditionally right? Then the llm is given the centroids and asked to give a label? Assumption being that the l…

    Nobody is being cut off from anywhere - their route is being made longer in order to avoid residential areas - their journeys would be quicker if they walked they just don't want t…

    Exactly this! It all boils down to people being pissed that their car journey in London takes longer than it used to - nobody is actually being blocked from getting anywhere just t…

    Tbh I was not including the second one in the poo - I think the 1st and 2nd albums are both equally good in their own ways!

    That's not what it shows at all - it shows how varying hyper parameters (which are floats and thus can be set at any arbitary precision) effects the speed at which convergence happ…

    Same can be said for the madelbtot set or any other fractal - there is a physical bound on the precision of the values - you can in theory run a NN with arbitary precision floats..…

    Thanks!! I was also under the impression Fractals required self similarity and not just infinite detail but glad to have that misconception corrected! I think it probably stems fro…

    I assumed he got some $$$ - but did he want to be removed or did you tell him he was no longer needed? Was he just as sure that he was no longer needed as u were?
