  "textContent": "(This is a math joke; \"I\" is the reference to \"Identity\" which is an operator which returns what it is provided. You can imagine an \"Identity\" operator for practically everything. A neural network of one \"neuron\" would be a linear model, i.e. y=mx+b, but here you'd have m=1 and b=0, so you have y=x.)\n\n(This is also a 'neural network' joke in the sense that a number of neural networks involve traditional data / signal processing, with the key distinction that they're really big and all the weights are algorithmically generated, i.e. \"learned\". But in a strained interpretation, many operations are neural networks, because neural networks are just operations. A convolutional neural layer is just a hadamard product, a digital paintbrush is just a hadamard product, so MS Paint is powered by neural networks.)\n\n(There is also a very very funny Nature paper that, iirc, meant to use \"deep learning\" to predict earthquakes. Someone point out that the big neural network model was beat by linear regression, i.e. 'just one neuron'. Again, that's the same thing as linear regression, and is best expressed as that. This is the exact same kind of funny thing as finding out the Juicero packs can be pressed by hand.)\n\n(I'd rather explain this joke to people who might not know about the implementation of neural networks than to people who definitely already do, since the people who definitely know how neural networks work are usually insufferable.)",
