When mainstream finance magazines tell you what is the latest expensive "must-have" item to a party some still believe to be the ultimate alternative gathering.

Actually Slashdot's articles are more relevant to my interests now!

Because of that I had moved away a few years ago but a friend pointed to me that it is still worthwhile to scan 3 pages of links for the one relevant actual tech bit. Maybe I should check out slashdot again...

American dystopian movies always give a chance to the hero because a good ending is like an unviolable law of the Hollywood universe. In reality, automated killing happens without the target receiving previous warning.

Real story: I needed to register an instagram account a few months ago. I tried my nick "Iv", of course it was unavailable. I tried many different alternatives and finally managed to get "Iv but the real Iv" or ivbutther

No, it is missing several important information.

If a profitable company is making a loan it does not need to a subsidiary it controls, that's a fictive loan used to disguise a transfer. When licensing costs are paid to a shell company with 3 employees in a country that is neither th

Maybe it takes PhD to develop that through the Microsoft development process.

It is probably a reference to the SDI program, also called the Starwars program. Note that the economic impact on USSR is just speculation. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strategic_Defense_Initiative...

It is time to cut down the tax havens from international financial circuits.

That's like saying murder should be legal as it is impossible to totally prevent it.

Several EU countries (France and UK) have, IIRC, made very clear that fictive debt or fictive licensing fees are fraud an would be judged as such.

You can't just throw more compute at an algorithm and have it spit better results! Well, unless your algorithm uses deep learning that is. And that's why teams with a lot of compute use DL, and why team that use DL use a lot of co

Fixed title: Sparta was NOT an army of super warrior. From what I understand, it was a fantasy model heralded by conservative Greeks as an example for all but is as much based in reality than the golden past of the people calling to "m

I guess that's part of the Dilbert principle: organizations grow until they outgrow the organizational capabilities of their managers.

"So what are these rituals for?" "Some are purely ritual, but some are there so that we can guard this dimension from horrors that live within!" "Uh, I guess we should at least do the latter?" "Oh? You can

GPT-3 stays incredibly in-topic. You can give it logic problems it won't be able to solve, but GPT-3 is capable of things that, as a GOFAI supporter, I never thought brute-force connexionist approach could do. I am now very cautious be

There are several datasets of programming puzzles, of increasing difficulty. Basically, you write a test, let the algorithm find the program that passes it. Hopefully, at one point you reach GPT-3 level performances where it is able to imag

They brake only when they stop at the station. If you were sleeping next to the tracks but not next to a station, you probably did not hear them much.

Just like the first Go playing programs. Just you wait until it is trained by "self-play" against a compiler.

Huge amounts of data was necessary in the early models and is still when you want to win DL competition. I fine tuned YOLOv5 with a few dozens hand-labelled images to make an object detector in a semi-controlled environment. The idea that y

Well the main sound you hear when a train arrives in a station is the sound of brakes. Its frequency and volume changes as the train slows down. You'll need to analyze the physics of that before extracting doppler shift from it. Also,

I went into ML when I realized that this piece of advice is now wrong, at least in computer vision. It was a few years ago. I had to classify pictures of closed and opened hands. I thought surely I don't need ML for simple stuff like t

Yes but at that point you may simply use classic white paint I guess. Also one thing to consider is that going front 90% to 80% may not look like a big difference but that's still doubling the heat that comes in

In France taxes come pre-filled. Cheating is equally simple: you just "forget" to fill additional fields. No, TurboTax seems like a clear case of lobbying where millions are inconvenience just so that a handful of executive keep a

Then it is called journalism. It already exists and it is usually considered unethical to fund it when you are one of the object of their scrutiny.
