Obviously there have been major improvements over the past 80 years, but that's still considered the first neural network. The need for multi-layer neural networks was recognized by 1969, but the knowledge of how to do that took awhile to be worked out.

Fun fact, the Perceptron is basically the first machine learning AI, and it was invented in 1943. It took a long time and many advancements in hardware before it became recognizable as the AI of today, but it's hardly a new idea.

AI is starting to get really smart

Clearly this shows that North Korea is the peak example of a successful society, and that the rest of the world should aspire to mimic them in all their wise practices.

Clearly a shining beacon of trans-rights.

I live in the US, and I have dozens of people from my contacts who have it installed. I don't know how many are actively using it, but it's definitely a common app for people to have.

Telegram is a messaging app, if you install it you'll be presented with a list of people from your contact list that have it installed as well. You can message these people through the app, and that's about it.

Telegram also supports group chats, and several apps/etc use these group chats for support and discussion. There are also some group chats used for illegal activity, but you can't discover these through the app itself. You would have to get in touch with these groups on another website, and be given an invite link to their telegram chat. The only thing that makes telegram more popular for illegal activity (afaik) is that you can have private group chats without government/telegram oversight.

insane platforms like Telegram

Is telegram considered insane? It's basically just a messaging app that people can form group chats in.

Yeah, not saying it's not scummy business. It probably can be a decent treatment for non-serious conditions if the placebo effect gives the patient relief, but any serious condition will need real treatment.

People know that they can get a placebo treatment, but they don't know if they actually got a placebo or the real treatment. They're also generally hoping both that they got the real treatment, and that the real treatment will make things better.

Maybe calling it deception isn't fully accurate, but the the point is that they're given something they hope is medicine, but in reality it's the placebo treatment.

Placebos only work if the people think they'll work. Funnily enough, it is possible to be aware something is a placebo and still expect it to work, but generally placebos involve some deception where the person thinks they're receiving real treatment.

So yes, people selling homeopathic remedies are going to claim they're real treatments, both to convince people to buy them, and because they'll be most effective if people think they're real. And the people buying them will also be the people who believe they're actually effective, causing them to actually have an effect.

Yes, but Duck and Scotch are both brands here. So you can buy Duck brand duct-tape or Scotch brand Duct-tape. They're priced about the same but the Duck brand is much worse than Scotch.

I'm mostly complaining about their clear packaging tapes though, that's where the Duck brand tape is truly awful.
