You’re saying it’s all 100% deterministic. But at the quantum level, things are probabilistic. The hundred brains with the same input data might make different decisions like how each ball dropped in the Galton board chooses a different route.

But I agree with your overall premise. It can be all understood scientifically. There is nothing supernatural about things we cannot comprehend.

Interesting article. The article mentions "...the NumPy implementation illustrates a marked improvement over the naive algorithm...", but I couldn't find a NumPy implementation in the article.

I'd like to point out a grammatical mistake and a typo on the landing page.

"People always underestimates the value of a good portfolio. A portfolio gives evidence to your skills and experinces."

"People always underestimate..." and "experiences".

"The company is hoping that considering people already come to YouTube for short video entertainment, Shorts will be another way to keep people on the site longer and get both existing and new creators to continue uploading."

But the content creators with the most subscribers and the most views are the ones with longer, well produced videos. Not sure if people who come to the site to consume longer videos will appreciate 15-second short videos as well
