If this is anything like open source in software (in the beginning) then many either never get to compile the dependencies needed to build from the source or run into hardware incompatibilities and incompatible derivate packages with all the ensuing bugs like blindness, deafness, and more serious malfunctions. And when it works the functionality will be severely limited. I'm half joking, but this will need a huge caveat emptor.

That was a case of not reading the link rather than asserting meaninglessness. The abstract makes clear that deep learning as an umbrella term would even fit RG, a completely unrelated concept from physics.

He says this is because of many different versions in use
While this isn't true for a managed repository of software, it is still true for most software releases so the mismatch just might happen further down the line.

The calculation probably includes new debt and projected repayment options, e.g. a rising growth factor, so it's not to be taken as fact.

That's just a figure of speech. The charge of an ion stems from the ratio of electrons to protons. To every "hole" there is a proton, which is a particle. I am repeating myself.

Don't phonons manifest in sound, which is very audible?

> just like "holes" in P-type semiconductors can be measured to behave like quasi-positrons
I'm sorry to ask because I should actually know this, isn't the remaining positive charge accounted to the protons in the core? A moving "hole" is just a figure of speech.
