I can't disagree.

It wasn't as bad as it sounds. The fun part was that you had to understand how every little piece of the algorithm works, and the nightmare was implementing all of this with 512mb of RAM. We didn't have the luxury of trying different solutions.

Oh brings back a lot of memories. I remember using it in the early 2000s to optimize neural networks. Back when only Matlab was there and we couldn't afford it and had to build NN from scratch.... using Visual Basic 😢
Back to your question, I don't think they're dead. Probably their use in NN is. Edit:spelling

Mostly. Other times I would interrupt the code when it wasn't converging and start over after changing a parameter or two. I feel si spoiled with Tensorflow now!
