Each cell of the 2D grid (or "neuron") is connected to (and updated as a function of) its immediate neighbours, which makes it a network/graph.

Ah... gotcha. Thanks for the clarification.
It shouldn't be too much extra state. I assume that 2 bits should be enough to cover castling rights (one for each player), whatever is necessary to store the last 3 moves should cover legal en passant captures and…

The lack of semantics associated to DC (and near-DC) components in audio data is important, and a big difference compared to image data, no doubt. I'm not sure this changes if you look at a cepstral representation (as…

As I mentioned, I agree with censorship when it is legitimate (ethically or morally justified), and I agree with the need for rule-of-law. It is not me that is arguing that censorship is ok when it is legal (and not ok…
The world is not black and white... there are shades of grey. Sometimes censorship is lawful and/or justified, sometimes it is not. I don't know if, in this case, it is justified or not, but it seems to be lawful (the…

Exactly. It is perfectly legal for a private entity (such as Twitter) to engage in censorship, as they regularly do so. So, the argument that "we can't do that, because that would be illegal" doesn't really fly.…

If you cannot appeal (and you probably can't, since this was a judicial order by the Supreme Court), then you have to comply (or face the consequences of ignoring judicial orders). If the argument is that it is illegal…

This. Unfortunately, I couldn't read beyond the first page, since it keeps crashing my (desktop) browser. Would be nice to have a button to stop/remove all animations in the page, so I could actually read the rest.
This works nicely: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonic_table_note_layout Nice to play chords with a single (fat) finger, and you can go through the circle of fifths by moving vertically.
Thanks for taking the time to clarify my confusion. It's not that there is "little variance left to explain", but actually that (no matter what) there will always be too much variance left to be explained, when the…
(After re-reading the blog post with more care...) you are right, and thanks for the correction. Either way, the point stands... the improvement in using a full linear model (that predicts 0.45 or 0.55, depending on…
