@ducha_aiki @JFPuget I actually did model exactly that in my PhD.
Neurons are exceptionally complex electrical circuits and neuromodulator change response functions of different Input signals

@JFPuget >- How do you model the effect of psychoactive drugs, e.g. alcohol? - How do you model the effect of hormons, like adrenaline (epinephrine)?
Change a response function? Dropout?
Joking, but why not try
English

For everyone thinking that a neuron, which is a cell in a brain, behaves like a simple non linear function of the sum of some inputs, let me ask you few questions:
- how come there are several distinct neurotransmitters? Why not a single one?
- How do you model the effect of psychoactive drugs, e.g. alcohol?
- How do you model the effect of hormons, like adrenaline (epinephrine)?

false equivalence. 86B synapses and 86B weights mean completely different things in so many ways that this question has near-zero comparative utility.

HEARTBREAKING: You Thought The Standard Was Wrong But It Is Actually Correct, And It Is Clang That Is Fucking You Up.
I don't have the heart to make a bug report for something that's been in the standard text since C9x or whatever. I'll just avoid using the comma operator.

Works on Windows, fails everywhere else. At least it's fixable with just slapping on more `;` instead of using the parenthesized comma expressions as a direct-replacement inside of the `return` expression like before. Utter designslop. I can't wait for this to be fixed in C2y.

Natürlich kann Jens #Spahn als unbeliebtester Spitzenpolitiker Deutschlands den beliebtesten Minister Pistorius frontal angreifen. Er scheitert dann halt mal wieder mit Ansage. tagesspiegel.de/politik/gesetz…

@Ricarda_Lang @berndulrich Da kommen Erinnerungen an die monatelangen Proteste der deutschen Rechten hoch als Sarkozy verurteilt wurde

@berndulrich Ich kann Sorge und sogar Störgefühl durchaus nachvollziehen. Aber im Umkehrschluss würde man das preis geben, was es gegen Rechtsextreme wie Le Pen zu verteidigen gilt, eine unabhängige Justiz, die gerade nicht danach urteilt, von wem wie politisch auf das Urteil reagiert wird.

Ich halte das wirklich für eine dramatische politische Fehlentscheidung #MarineLePen

@MartinJende Heute 10 zerstörte Plakate wieder aufgehängt, auf dem Rückweg die nächste Reihe abgerissener Plakate gesehen. Die der anderen Parteien hingen alle noch.

@starfreakclone But are the strings actually constexpr?

I think it's about time to show off a _little_ bit of what I've been working on in my spare time. Here's a little view into 'fred', my text editor: youtube.com/watch?v=LmINbn…

@penberg Being a strong advocate for atomic commits I believe the issue is as always tooling.
To incorporate review comments I have to ammend and force push or have multiple non-atomic commits.
The issue with force pushes is that many Tools like github are bad at showing the new changes
English

I have mixed feelings from asking why people squash commits in Github pull requests.
On the other hand, I discovered that there's a "super-commit" workflow where you only use a single commit per PR. It's a weird workflow to me, but seems fairly popular and explains why so many people think I am being weird when I talk about "atomic commits".
But I also discovered that a lot of people only really know about "git push" and "git pull", which is pretty sad because git is a pretty amazing piece of tooling, but you do need spend some time learning it...

@static_assert_0 Also if that would be a contiguous container like std::vector the answer would be
std::erase(m_entities, entity);
* assuming that entity has an equality operator as it probably should have

Good lord man. Sometimes I forget just how confident the average Twitter “C++ developer” thinks vs what they actually know

After eight years of solo effort on the Circle compiler, it's time to go back on the job market. I'm looking for a new challenge.
I'd prefer in-office work in NYC. If you know of a good career opportunity for a very productive programmer, DM or email me.

For the first time since, I think, 2018, the MSVC front-end team (my team) is hiring! If you're interested in applying check out our job description: jobs.careers.microsoft.com/global/en/job/…

@satnam6502 @jfbastien I believe the a simple `requires (N % 2== 0)` is the proper solution if you can use C++20.
Otherwise `std::enable_if_t<N % 2== 0, int> = 0` for SFINAE will do the trick

@jfbastien Thank you, I did have a concept for a plan for this! I still can't get this to work, no doubt due to my lack of knowledge. godbolt.org/z/r63sqbsqM

I'm looking for help with C++ (yes, really). I would like to know if there is any way that I can statically ensure a function like ilv (show below) takes an even length array as an argument and returns an even length array as a result at compile time. I know I can use a static_assert inside the body of the ilv function, but I want to convey the even constraint in the type signature. I appreciate the C++ compiler in the code below infers a size M for the template matching for the size of the array, and then fails to work out that M = 2*N. If there is a way to statically enforce an array having an even length in the type then I'd love to know about it! Thank you kindly. Normal Haskell Satnam service will resume shortly.
