Thinking a lot about all the effort and costs being spent creating machine vision algorithms that can model concepts interchangeably.Then remember about how froggos try to lick long bois.https://t.co/1SveD2KR2U

If life gives you springy blobs, learn to farm them for food.https://t.co/DxIIgIRbiL

I am still not allowed to pee on tadpoles.https://t.co/4WiwG1JhYm

Did you know that giant waterbugs are a delicacy in thailand?https://t.co/1vfNo2fPTYWhen nature closes a door, she always opens a window.https://t.co/JUxlaEIKg3

I asked google home if frogs could fart. Science says: uncertain (their sphincters may not be strong enough).https://t.co/JhByuVf0Td https://t.co/XZNc6L2omR


Here is a youtube video from 2011 that shows you can get a frog to create an audible gaseous vibration.https://t.co/vWAAmdIjU3

I found a 1915 science publication where authors lament being unable to find out how long frogs can stay submerged in water, so they submerge one to find out.They absorb gas / self inflate to float!and sometimes rupture😢https://t.co/Pc0tl5Vq3W [pdf: https://t.co/JH0uOpGLc1] https://t.co/7xjangR8fI


We are learning more about frogs everyday!"Here, we describe a previously unidentified form of photoreception in the brain of frog tadpoles. The photoreceptors are preferentially activated by UV light and link ambient light levels to swimming activity."https://t.co/mVhVmSxRJk

"IBM stuffed 16 of the TrueNorth chips onto one circuit board to model "sixteen million programmable neurons and four billion programmable synapses," which equals the 16 million neurons in the brain of your typical frog."https://t.co/V8GPZ7opehhttps://t.co/XduMIw8wZf

"Samsung has adapted TrueNorth into its Dynamic Vision Sensor that processes video imagery quite differently than traditional digital cameras."https://t.co/B3d30du5Wy

"For bigger datasets resource limitations and the CNN model limitations that TrueNorth can support start becoming a bottleneck. In this paper we evaluate the challenges related to deployment of EEDN trained neural network on TrueNorth hardware."https://t.co/YSKmY3okVl

"low execution latency and low power consumption with nearly no accuracy degradation. This work provides a new approach of developing hybrid neural network models for brain-inspired computing chips and further tapping the potential of these models."https://t.co/bfqRGd76Ii

My mom sends me stuff about spiking neurons sometimes.How big of a net do you cast?https://t.co/QAHHcX9sDc

My mom sent me a piece on a computer cluster meant to simulate a billion spiking neurons."The supercomputer was also recently used to control a robot, called the SpOmnibot, to interpret real-time visual information and navigation."https://t.co/awIX8oORwUhttps://t.co/Q8PPWbF155

"Purposed to process radar signals—specifically for drone anti-collision—the Imec chip is said to use one one-hundredth the power and one-tenth the latency of other chips."https://t.co/88Vbr7QvOP
