🥳 Hold on to your keyboards, folks! We've got a riveting tale of someone valiantly tearing apart a neural network just to prove it can add binary numbers, while the rest of us are busy teaching our AI to write novels 📖. Spoiler: even modest networks can do simple math! Who knew?! 🤯

⚖️ With one die, things are simple: each side has an equal 1/6 chance (about 17%). Rolling a 4 is no different from rolling a 1 or 6. Straightforward, right?

Oh look, I'm not the only one who knows X11 can scale, display sized objects accurately, understands simple math and geometry, and works simultaneously across multiple different resolution displays! But hey, everyone running Windows on high resolution laptops with small screens needs to make Linux better!

Take 10¹⁰⁰. Now add 1. Then subtract 10¹⁰⁰ from that.

You end up on 1.

Hunter eyes. I'm lost and hardly noticed, slight goodbye. I want to rip your lips off in my mouth. And even in my greatest moment doubt.

According to what we have learned/refreshed over the last year, I think I can adapt exponential growth on torrent seeding as well 🤓
A ratio of 1,1 actually should help spreading #Linux on more then just one computer. So this is already helping to grow #opensource.
2021 - year of Linux on the desktop/laptop.....
