I’m Sicilian, and I support building the Strait of Messina Bridge. Premise: I don’t vote for Matteo Salvini, the current Minister of Infrastructure and Transport and promoter of the project. Even though, to be fair, many before him have tried to start construction on the Bridge, since it’s been discussed ever since the post-World War II era. In modern times, both Silvio Berlusconi and Matteo Renzi (two politicians from opposing sides) have pushed the idea. So my support doesn’t come f...| Posts on Simone Bellavia's Web Page
I have been working with Helm for some time now and I’ve developed a love-hate relationship with it. It seems to have become the de-facto package manager for K8s, and there are good reasons for that. But like any tool, it comes with its own set of frustrations that can make you question your life choices. Some honest thoughts follow. What I like I find Helm to be fairly simple to get started. For all its complexity under the hood, Helm has a gentle learning curve in my opinion. You can star...| Posts on Simone Bellavia's Web Page
Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) are a class of neural networks designed to process sequential data, such as time series, text, audio, or any other type of sequential data. RNNs were developed to overcome the limitations of feedforward networks that don’t maintain a memory of past information. From Feedforward to RNNs Let’s take a general look at Feedforward Networks, to then better understand RNNs. In feedforward networks, input is processed in a single pass, from input to output, withou...| Posts on Simone Bellavia's Web Page
Retinal detachment is an eye disease and is one of the most serious ocular emergencies. It occurs after a layer of the retina - essential tissue for vision - is lifted from the pigmented epithelial tissue, dragging the blood vessels that supply nutrients and the eye with it. If the retina is no longer nourished through contact with the pigment epithelium layer, cell death and a progressive and functional loss of vision or of the detached portion of the retina occur after 48 hours. However, th...| Posts on Simone Bellavia's Web Page

One year ago, the Safe C++ proposal was made. The goal was to add a safe subset/context into C++ that would give strong guarantees (memory safety, type safety, …| Simone Bellavia's Web Page
