Summary

In the middle of the night two cats are singing to each other. Then another cat wants to sing with the female cat. She lets him. Then a fight starts between the two rival males, and the cats go on a telephone line. A person throws a rolling pin at them. Then they start rolling on the wires. They run into an old dog house and the dog scares them. The male cats eventually realize that the female cat has had babies, and one of them blows a raspberry at them. The two male cats shake hands and the film ends.

gollark: And with neural networks, you don't actually know *how* the network does its job, just that you feed in pixels and somehow get classification data out.
gollark: There is still not, as far as I know, an approach to detect what an object is other than just training neural networks on the task.
gollark: It's simple to say, for example, "the program should detect if something is a bird", but incredibly hard to actually explain how to detect birds.
gollark: Yes. A lot of the time something can be simple to *vaguely describe* but really hard to describe precisely enough for you to actually program it.
