Proxy Target: Bridging the Gap Between Discrete Spiking Neural Networks and Continuous Control
Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) offer low-latency and energy-efficient decision making through neuromorphic hardware, making them compelling for Reinforcement Learning (RL) in resource-constrained edge devices. Recent studies in this field directly replace Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) by SNNs in existing RL frameworks, overlooking whether the RL algorithm is suitable for SNNs. However, most RL algorithms in continuous control are designed tailored to ANNs, including the target network soft …

Friends from English-speaking countries that say "zed" instead of "zee":
What is the last verse of the alphabet song?
The US version ends "now I know my A B Cs, next time won't you sing with me." Which therefore rhymes with "zee".
But it wouldn't rhyme with "zed". So what do you say instead? Or does it just not rhyme as well?

China’s president, Xi Jinping, has reportedly told his generals to be ready by 2027 to conquer the self-governing island of Taiwan,
which he regards as stolen sovereign territory.
US officials warned last week that China already has sufficient capability to invade now,
with amphibious landing craft,
D-day-style floating docks, paratroopers and expanded air combat and missile forces in a constant state of readiness.
Recent intimidating offshore military exercises…

«Sure, people from Latin-language-majority countries also list their “pronouns” in e-mail signatures and on social-media profiles, but this is, I think, largely the subconscious acceptance of the English-speakers’ hegemony over social norms (and queerness?).»

I'd even go one further and say "USian English's hegemony, both for online social norms generally and queerness in particular 🙈

Heute ist wieder #SchiffsSamstag, dieses Mal mit einem #Segelschiff unter tschechischer 🇨🇿 (!) Flagge. Die LA GRACE IST der originalgetreue Nachbau einer Brigg aus der Zeit um 1760. Beim genauen Hinsehen erkennt man, dass sie gerade mit einer Kanone Salut schießt. Mehr über dieses bemerkensw…
