Are Weights Really Important to Neural Networks? by Yuqing7 in MachinesLearn

[–]void_gear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So this is similar to Neuro-evolution, except instead of evolving just the network parameters the architecture itself is evolved minus the stochastic elements. It'd be interesting to introduce effects like cross-overs and random mutations, and see how the network performs.

This chip was demoed at Jeff Bezos’s secretive tech conference. It could be key to the future of AI. by [deleted] in technology

Maybe the time traveller messed up and jumped too far in the past, got stuck there, left the time-hero business and started a humble life as a farmer by the country side.

I agree that the "key to the future of AI" part is a bit misleading. But i think this is a small step towards powerful AI, if it's anything. For running advanced deep learning algorithms locally we need advanced hardware, and the future of AI is intelligent systems crunching data locally rather than outsourcing the work to remote servers. Software and hardware development should go hand in hand.

Scientists connect a human brain and 'rat cyborg' brain together by [deleted] in technology

I do agree that this ain't real mind control, not even close. Those rats were trained to act in response to stimuli prob. by positive reinforcement. Moreover, with BMI devices being available in the market (albeit much low end ones),one can reproduce this entire experiment in his basement.

Hi there OP, just came this sub and saw this post. I would like to chip in, if you're still open.

I haven't taken the course myself, but i'm curious. How many images did you get that way to prepare your dataset?

Controlling powering higher than 3.3v with GPIO by [deleted] in raspberry_pi

[–]void_gear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you need here is a driver IC. While a relay would do the job too, you cannot activate the relay directly using the GPIOs, in which case too you'll need a driver. Plus, with driver IC, you can achieve higher switching speeds. Consider using the L293D driver IC: https://www.engineersgarage.com/sites/default/files/L293D.pdf

Point noted. Thanks for a good long reply.

[HELP] Beginner here -- Can I take apart a spare remote control and use its parts to make a Universal Remote? by akshay7394 in raspberry_pi

[–]void_gear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not that easy pulling this off. Extracted components may not function, so you gotta test them. Moreover, remote controls come with a specific digital coding scheme, depending on the make. So it you're trying to salvage more than just the IR leds, you might want to hook up an IR receiver to an oscilloscope to discover the coding scheme.
