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 …

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.

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 h…

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…
