"We are looking at processes which are 10,000 times more efficient than neural networks when we add hardware acceleration," he said. Literal Labs' technology is developed from Yakovlev and Shafik's patents. While this process requires less energy than neural networks, the wider market has yet to catch up with alternatives. And everyone is just so sucked into neural networks that nobody has been thinking about some of the other techniques."

REUTERS/Bernadett SzaboBUDAPEST, April 29 (Reuters) - Pope Francis on Saturday met Ukrainians who fled the war on Hungary's eastern border, telling the refugees that a different future is possible. "We were welcomed here and we have found a new home (but) many have suffered and suffer still because of the war," Yakovlev told the pope. Since Russia invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24, 2022, millions of refugees have fled through Central Europe, including Hungary, and moved to other countries. Later the pontiff met with Metropolitan (bishop) Hilarion, representative of the Russian Orthodox Church(ROC)in Budapest. The Russian Orthodox Church is by far the biggest of the churches in the Eastern Orthodox communion, which split with Western Christianity in the Great Schism of 1054.

Fotograful Alexandr Yakovlev a realizat un proiect exploziv, făcând ca mișcările dansatorilor să reînvie dintr-o cu totul altă fațetă, demonstrând un joc al făinii. Fotografiile sale captează diverse stiluri de dans, de la balet la break-dance, dar ideea sa de a surprinde momentul potrivit în care dansatorul se află în unison cu făina creează un efect deosebit. În lucrările sale avem ocazia să admirăm structura corpului unui dansator profesionist, antrenat, tonifiat și sculptat, putem observa mușchii reliefați, forța și energia transmisă prin dans. Alexandr Yakovlev poate fi găsit pe Facebook, Instagram și site-ul său oficial. Mai jos puteți să admirați pozele fotografului Alexandr Yakovlev:
