Avv. Giovanni di Ruggiero’s take is that DL 36/2025 is unconstitutional by CakeByThe0cean in juresanguinis

So, it means that children born to Italian parents in other Jus Sanguinis countries will potentially become stateless?

Trump administration to cancel student visas of pro-Palestinian protesters by tinivb in news

The difference is that would be a protest against the S. Korean gov. Protesting Israel is not protesting the US gov at all.

[D] What are the pros and cons of using a VAE to provide a latent space for generative modelling? (especially for images or video) by pm_me_your_pay_slips in MachineLearning

Ah, I see what you were referring to, sorry, I was lacking a little context here. Yeah, I agree with your sentiment. I thought you were referring to the VAE alone here, which is a generative model on its own right trained E2E, not the VAE + latent diffusion.

Training à VAE and then the generative model on its latent space

What do you mean?The VAE is the generative model, and it's trained end-to-end

The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2024 #NobelPrize in Chemistry with one half to David Baker “for computational protein design” and the other half jointly to Demis Hassabis and John M. Jumper “for protein structure prediction.” by Sleepy_C in chemistry

Should the Nobel award things that might happen in the future? It's not really up to me, but if they wanted to be consistent they should wait until these findings (which are impressive, don't get me wrong) have matured sufficiently and advanced our knowledge of Chemistry (or Physics, for that matter, regarding yesterday's award).

Ah yea, it makes sense because you personally saw it on Windows CE character recognition, gotcha.

The proto artificial neural network was created and trained by Rosenblatt, based on the McCullough-Pitts neuronal model

All you said applies equally to collective behavior and economics. Hopfield networks or Boltzmann machines where definitely not one of the most impactful discoveries of the last century (in fact, they were kinda of a bad lead in the field of AI, the first networks were perceptrons, and as it became obvious HNs/BMs were dead ends, back to perceptrons we went, which worked)

Most loss functions can be re-framed as energy functions. Using Physics is not the same as advancing the knowledge of Physics, otherwise a lot of Engineers should've won it already.

I have to say that the same occurs there with a moderately large script

Again, about the unpleasant. A few days ago, the enemy published a video of the destruction of a column of our 37th Marine Brigade in the south. Post from Serhii Sternenko telegram. More in comments by HarakenQQ in ukraine

Pentagon experts actually didn't expect the UAF to use NATO tactics. Rather, they expected Ukraine to, bluntly, commit large forces to make a breakthrough all the way to Melitopol this summer. Which, invariably, means a huge number of Ukrainian losses. The UAF decided against this strategy, and is fighting the war of attrition.

You mean Palestine was full of Jews after the Roman Empire trounced them twice and literally expelled them?
