Call me when I can purchase my carbon nano-tube flying car.

Sounds promising.

I hope it works and it’s not just some anomaly.

when a node fails to achieve this task: the weights automatically adjust themselves for fresh data until the correct output is obtained.

Sounds a lot like Democrat vote counting.

[sparklite2]

It’s just around the corner.

Fusion —> Free Helium for everyone....

[tet68]

Probably in 10 years...

HAL! Stop the fussion reaction!

*HAL: I'm sorry Dave, I can't do that.

[crusty old prospector]

I needs me some of that deep learning, Uncle Jed.

This is the cultural-marxists worst nightmare, free citizens becoming autonomous, and independent of state welfare.

After all, you can’t be a prince if you don’t have serfs.

Distributing the network across many computers was a demanding task. “Training deep neural networks is a computationally intensive problem that requires the engagement of high-performance computing clusters,” said Alexey Svyatkovskiy, a coauthor of the Nature paper who helped convert the algorithms into a production code and now is at Microsoft. “We put a copy of our entire neural network across many processors to achieve highly efficient parallel processing,” he said.

Uh, it is so basic to realize distributed or parallel processing is needed that this tells me these people are pretty stupid.

I took a graduate distributed and parallel programming class as an undergraduate and did greatly trimmed down versions of this in 2001.

It has been for decades.

Just around the corner...

Still...

[sparklite2]

That was the idea, just like nuclear fusion reactors have been around the corner for sixty years.

I’ll believe it’s here when I can buy a home version at Harbor Freight.

It will work for a couple of days or several years.

Hard to tell with their stuff. Some tools I’ve bought from there have done amazingly well. Others went in the trash within a day.

My frat held the first Tokamak party ever.

HYPE

PLEASE GIVE US MORE talk about What has Already Actually BEEN Accomplished, instead of what they SAY they are GOING TO do.

Claims were made over 60 years ago about what Artificial Intelligence was going to ‘soon do’ and little of the claims has ever come true.

The problem with AI is that any significantly complex logic/knowledge has to come from a human, which is horribly slow and flawed process, and the midway results have to be constantly checked (the machine told its right or wrong) - again by a horribly slow human expert.

Most of what is called AI is merely search filtering - a useful tool, but that is all it is - a tool - still being used/controlled by a human mind.

Does China control the dilithium crystal market?
