>So if these are PACs then it’s effectively the same as donating to the party, just splitting hairs really?

Exactly. The above user mentioned a bad Supreme Court decision, and they nailed the problem right on the head. Look up Citizens United.

Check out this article How Stephen Colbert Taught Americans About Super PACs to learn more, and bonus points because Stephen Colbert is awesome and showed us how ridiculous it all really is.

I would guess better architecture for both models, hardware and frameworks. While tensorflow, pytorch and resnet are all from mid 2015/2016 i would guess it could take a year to fully integrate (be it improvements in the framework, or industries adopting them). Tensorflow and Pytorch are very popular ML packages, and resnet is an architecture which I thought is more data efficient than it's predecessors.

As for the hardware i dont know enough about their releases the same goes for updates in the cuda framework which improves gpu acceleration.

"They both separated children from human traffickers but that is completely different". They didn't leave the kids with the traffickers and then do their investigation. They, just like Trump, do the separation immediately. Children and adults are processed separately. This is literally standard procedure and has been for decades.

"Also some of the children kidnapped by the...... reuinited with the parents" got any evidence that parents who can prove they are the legal guardians of a child were not reunited with the child? Because other than a potential few cases of allowing the child to stay in the US with family who got in legally (grand parents, cousins, etc). I dont think you can find any evidence of this. You might find some sob story, but never do they provide legal documents from the Government of Mexico or Nicoragua, etc to prove this. So the US cannot in good conscience return the child to potential traffickers.

I was thinking more about the ‘normal’ as in not having a freaking dictator due to a weak/failed state yielding to a coup in the congress or other corrupting forces acting against it from inside. This system allows the crazies to speak their minds but it doesn’t change the core operating principles.

For example, the time to train object detection task like ImageNet to over 90% accuracy has reduced from over 10 hours to few seconds, and the cost declined fromover $2,000 to substantially less than $10 within the span of the last three years Perrault et al.(2019)

This just shows how little you understand.

Child trafficking across the southern border was a serious issue. It's not some 1% of children crossing the border situation. It was significant. So they separated the children from the "parents" so they could ensure that the child wasn't being trafficked.

Once they confirmed the parents and child's identity they were reuinted.

Also they weren't put In "concentration camps". They were in holding facilities that held then for a week or 2 so they could get identification done, and then send them home.

These were the same holding facilities used during the Obama administration. Which if you know anything about deportation statistics you know that Obama and Trump weren't wildly different.

You drank the partisan kool-aide. Trump wasn't some special evil. He continued standard border policy, he just shined a brighter light on it.

The last republican president literally separated minority children from their parents and put them in concentration camps. That’s as ultra conservative as you can get.

Also, helping out your friends when they get in trouble is the moderate position. It’s not like we’re giving them boatloads of cash. We are mostly just giving them old equipment from the vietnam war that we won’t use anymore.

It says a lot about you that you think abandoning your friends at a time of need is the moderate position
