I don't understand what you mean by this? Any neural network is first build in theory and then tried out practically by coding and testing. I think practitioner and scientist play equal role.
> I don't use WhatsApp by choice, but occasionally it's someone else's preferred way to communicate. I don't have a problem with it.
I think this is a good point, just like you are expecting people to contact you on telegram there must be some people who would like you to contact them on whataspp.
Agreed. Platforms like facebook are very easy to find and contact with old friends, but when people delete the account it becomes 10x tougher to find them again. I wish people improve their self control when it comes to using apps like instagram and facebook.
Try using Signal side by side with telegram. Telegram has more features but it works the same way as whatsapp. On the other hand signal is trying its best to provide privacy which whatsapp and telegram never do
"I am no expert on memory, but from what I have read on the topic, our long-term memory is virtually unlimited, the main constraint being inability to recall rather than the memory content being erased. If you have once learned a topic well but haven't visited in a long time, you may not be able to recall it very easily, but you will be able to recognize or relearn it better than someone who doesn't have any exposure to the topic. "
I agree with your this part and personally my memory behaves the same way, but I am not sure if it should be like this, because then for example if I am having a conversation with someone about a topic I studied long back but did not recall recently then I am unable to contribute anything to the conversation although back in my mind I know that I studied or read about this but because of this poor memory thing I have to remain silent.
