This steep drop in installs is pulling down X’s overall average, leading to a 26% decrease in total mobile downloads year-over-year as of July. That’s still slightl

Some filmmakers take a long time between projects. Others are more rapid-fire. In the time since Oz Perkins popped up in Jordan Peele’s last film, 2022’s Nope, playing a small role as a movie director, he released Longlegs (the highest-grossing indie film of 2024) as well as this year’s The Monkey—and in a few months, Keeper will hit theaters too. Peele has the sports horror film Him, which he produced, coming out soon, but his next directorial effort won’t arrive until October 2026. Different

Who Invented Backpropagation?

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-19 00:50:21

Efficient backpropagation (BP) is central to the ongoing Neural Network (NN) ReNNaissance and "Deep Learning." Who invented it? BP's modern version (also called the reverse mode of automatic differentiation) was first published in 1970 by Finnish master student Seppo Linnainmaa [BP1] [R7]. In 2020, we celebrated BP's half-century anniversary! A precursor of BP was published by Henry J. Kelley in 1960 [BPA]—in 2020, we celebrated its 60-year anniversary.
