Unless you're digging deep into the parts of the kernel which do memory management and mode switching, you won't have a genuine need for assembly language, but there is some value in learning it. In assembly you see the mechanics of how everything is declared as physical memory -- local variables in C are stack-segment variables in assembly, global variables in C are data-segment ones in assembly, functions are memory addresses in code-segment in both C and assembly, etc, etc. C is technically not dependent on stacks or segments, but I dare you to show me a modern system which doesn't have these in some way.
amd64 is x86 with more and larger registers. Most instructions are the same, but more options are allowed for them.

Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::AutoLearnThreshold(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::AutoLearnThreshold(3)
NAME
Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::AutoLearnThreshold - threshold-based discriminator for Bayes auto-learning
SYNOPSIS
loadplugin Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::AutoLearnThreshold
DESCRIPTION
This plugin implements the threshold-based auto-learning discriminator for SpamAssassin's Bayes subsystem. Auto-learning is a mechanism
whereby high-scoring mails (or low-scoring mails, for non-spam) are fed into its learning systems without user intervention, during
scanning.
Note that certain tests are ignored when determining whether a message should be trained upon:
o rules with tflags set to 'learn' (the Bayesian rules)
o rules with tflags set to 'userconf' (user configuration)
o rules with tflags set to 'noautolearn'
Also note that auto-learning occurs using scores from either scoreset 0 or 1, depending on what scoreset is used during message check. It
is likely that the message check and auto-learn scores will be different.
USER OPTIONS
The following configuration settings are used to control auto-learning:
bayes_auto_learn_threshold_nonspam n.nn (default: 0.1)
The score threshold below which a mail has to score, to be fed into SpamAssassin's learning systems automatically as a non-spam
message.
bayes_auto_learn_threshold_spam n.nn (default: 12.0)
The score threshold above which a mail has to score, to be fed into SpamAssassin's learning systems automatically as a spam message.
Note: SpamAssassin requires at least 3 points from the header, and 3 points from the body to auto-learn as spam. Therefore, the
minimum working value for this option is 6.
