In this space, x1, x2, and x3 are the axis, and for example the cube x1=0 is a cube that happens to have 4 points in it: 000, 001, 010, and 011. So far, so good. Now, let’s say we need to calculate the total volume of two cubes in this space.…

Every time you see an animal, you snap a photo. Your digital camera will track the total number of shots, but you’re only interested in the number of unique animals — all the ones that you haven’t counted already. What’s the best way to get that number? “The obvious solution requires remembering every animal you’ve seen so far and comparing each new animal to the list,” said Lance Fortnow, a computer scientist at the Illinois Institute of Technology.…

Symbolic AI, also known as “Good Old-Fashioned AI” (GOFAI), focuses on the development of rule-based systems that manipulate symbols and apply logical reasoning to solve problems. These systems are designed to imitate human thought processes by utilizing symbolic representations and formal logic, which are believed to underlie human cognition.…

It always seemed to me the language had the potential to solve a lot of problems in the ocean of YAML which we found ourselves drowning in the Cloud Native ecosystem. CUE excels in validating data against strictly defined schemas and is equally capable of generating code for data models from them. These are wonderful features, though I hadn’t found the perfect application for them in any of the projects I had been working on.…

URL: https://velikeprice.com/politika/andrej-plenkovic-pred-izazovima-desnog-radikalizma/ Punih osam godina, otkako je postao premijer Hrvatske 2016. godine, Andrej Plenković je sprečavao prodor radikalne desnice u vlast. Isto je činio i sa svojom partijom, Hrvatskom demokratskom zajednicom (HDZ), nakon što je naslijedio Tomislava Karamarka, čovjeka poznatog po izjavi „nikad više u ponižavajućoj koaliciji sa SDSS-om“ (Samostalnom demokratskom srpskom strankom, koju vodi Milorad Pupovac). Karamarko je smatrao da je Hrvatska, nakon što je završila pregovore o pristupanju Europskoj uniji, spremna za – od desnice dugo odgađan i priželjkivan – obračun sa svim onim što su vidjeli kao politiku koju im je nametnula Europska unija.…

Europskim ulicama, osim prostora bivše Jugoslavije koje se oporavljaju od rata, teče med i mlijeko. Žitelji Starog kontinenta, posebno zapadnog dijela, imaju život iz snova. Koliko si uložio u znanje i obrazovanje, toliko ti se vrati. Doktori, inženjeri, arhitekti, svi bez problema mogu kupiti nekretninu. Oni koji nisu imali sreće u životu također ne trebaju očajavati.
