Heh...is this book gonna come back to haunt you like Corin's wedding pictures?
Heh... we'll see.
BTW, Congrats! Meant to include it in my post above.
Forgive me but I'm disposed to expound on this for a moment... seems like I have to do my nightly expounding on some topic. So tonight... it's this.
Neural networks. Based on the basically flawed concept that computers are some kind of model of the human brain. They're not. Not even close. Mainly because computers still have to divide processing and storage into separate functions and places.
Neurons, on the other hand, are at once both a processor and storage. Neurons store information (nobody knows how) and they also work as a massively parallel cluster of processors. Nobody seems to know if they can only do one or the other or if they can do both.
A neural network tries to virtualize the neuron as a software object, and blur the distinction between processing and storage. It's a real mind-purge, if you think about it for too long. :-)

Brian received your knife and was so very excited to get it. He showed it to everyone and is so proud of it.
Thank you so much for this service to our troops. I plan on making a donation to the Hobbit Hole.
Brian was home for 3 weeks and just left Southern California today for [redacted]. He is looking forward to what is next for him - either the [redacted] or [redacted]. He decided not to go the EOD route.
Again, thank you for the knife and for this service you provide for the soldiers.
Sincerely,
