    "Reinforcement Learning is a type of machine learning where an agent learns to make decisions by trying out different actions and receiving rewards or penalties in return. The goal is to learn, over time, which actions yield the highest rewards. There are three core components in RL: The agent — the learner or decision-maker (e.g., an algorithm or robot), The environment — everything the agent interacts with, Actions and rewards — the agent takes actions, and the environmen"

    "A much better solution than the one in the article, below: It looks like the ones writing articles here in Javascript do not understand the time/space complexity of javascript methods. shift, splice, sort, etc... In the solution article you have a shift and a sort being done inside a while, that is, the multiplication of Ns. My solution, below, iterates through the list once and then sorts it, separately. It´s O(N+Log(N)) class ListNode { constructor(val = 0, next = null) { th"

    "Deep Learning is a part of Artificial Intelligence, it's like teaching the machine to think and make decisions on its own. It's like how we teach a child the concept of an apple - it's round, red, has a stem on top. We show them multiple pictures of apples and then they understand and can recognize an apple in future. Similarly, we feed lots of data to the machine, and slowly, it starts learning from that data, and can then make relevant predictions or decisions based on what it has learnt. A co"

    "Hey Grandma, you've had a lot of experience with infants, haven't you? When they were babies, you taught them how to chew in their first six months. This initial phase is like giving them data. Once they learned how to chew, they could handle any food you gave them. Next, you refined their learning by teaching them that they should only chew on food. This is like refining the data so they understand what is relevant. Then, a few months later, they started crawling and walking, learning by observ"
