How can we create new state-of-the-art neural networks without simply adding more compute, more data, and more parameters?

This isn't really evolution as we know it (outside Pokmon evolution at least), which refers to changes (usually gradual changes, but not always) in a species across generations caused by random mutations. Darwinian descent with modification is a specific type of evolution but the term can and is used other forms of gradual development, without any implication that anything Darwinian is going on.172.69.63.241 10:08, 4 June 2020 (UTC), IMHO, it's pretty likely the last panel is a reference to webcomic name - the formatting of "OH NO" with no punctuation, no other text, the fact it's the last panel etc all seem not particularly xkcd-ish, and very webcomic name-ish.

For example, whales and fish have very similar body shapes, as did the extinct plesiosaurs, because life as a swimming vertebrate favors the same adaptations. This commit does not belong to any branch on this repository, and may belong to a fork outside of the repository. Metal, yes. Look like crabs.

As mind-blowing as carcinization may initially seem, its more or less just another form of evolution thats hardly unique to crabs. I doubt it. So what exactly is carcinization, and why did it become the focus of so many internet users in 2020?

Borradaile in 1916. As usual with all small wikis, spam quickly became prevalent, and although it was kept out of sight of most visitors through the efforts of diligent editors (especially Lcarsos and Davidy22), spam-fighting was, for a while, the bulk of work that was being performed in the wiki, which demoralized most editors and nearly killed the community.
