One Quarter of the way through this playlist now. It's very good!

I'm having to learn this framework for a course assignment, and I feel a lot better about it now than I did after going through the OP.

Thanks for sharing!

I can actually speak to this because I was involved with maintenance on a consultant's neural net built in raw java.

What I have to say is this: please don't build your own.

This is possible but I'd really like to see twin studies to confirm it, with differences in activity levels between the twins as the variable.

I would suspect there is a genetic mechanism at play too, but at this point I'm spitballing.

>I walk slower

I have bad news for you, friend.

An uncle of mine blew his brains out a couple of years ago after a decade of struggling with mental health issues. I used to get so enraged at him for abandoning his family in that way.

For some reason, your post really brought home to me that maybe what he was seeking was a way out, that he couldn't live with what the person he had become was putting his family through and that maybe he did it because to him that was better for them than sticking around.

Helping me understand that event probably wasn't your intent, but thank you for sharing this, because I think you succeeded.
