  • Well, addition is built into the instruction set of any CPU, so it only takes one operation. On the other hand, one evaluation of a neural net involves several repeated matrix-vector multiplies followed by the application of a nonlinear “activation function”. Matrix-vector multiply for a square matrix will take 2020=400 multiply operations and about 2019 addition operations for a 20-dimensional input. So we’ll say maybe on the order of 1,000-10,000 times more operations depending on how many layers?








  • How does this sticker gets an article from big names like The Guardian, BBC, the Independent and Fox News?

    Last week there was an open nazi march in Nashville. I tried to find a mainstream news article on it to send to a friend. I remember I couldn’t find anything from NYT, WSJ, FT, or any of the mainstream papers. I think the top results were from a local NBC affiliate and the Jerusalem Post.

    All due respect, but in what world is that more concerning or scary than a group of masked, probably armed, chuds openly marching with swastika flags in broad daylight? My god father’s parents were holocaust survivors and they’d be rolling in their graves if they saw those swastika flags waiving.
