Whether you’re forgetful, inconsiderate, or just plain unorganized, eleventh-hour gifts don’t always demand springing for exorbitant shipping fees or, worse, diving between Target’s sliding doors mere milliseconds before the store closes.
These last-minute gift ideas prove that you can be thoughtful, creative, and budget-conscious, all while appreciating the convenience t
Andrew Ng came up with a theory almost 15 years ago: What if Google, the internet giant, thought of machines like the brain and trained neural networks on mass amounts of data using computational power in an attempt to lead to artificial general intelligence?
Google bit on Ng’s line of thinking, and in 2011 he helped launch Google Brain, one of the most ambitious artificial intelli
