    Cool, there is no check on the direction of the camera. Various camera's I checked do not seem to point in the direction of the sun during totality. It does filter candidate camera…

    They asked to put EU buildings on there to grab power and cultural capital. The EU is centralizing and consolidating by any means necessary.

    Which work has more value: the abstract description of a catalogue of potential model architectures or their validated application trained on real data? In the Schmidhuber case the…
