But I don't think they claim that it was real? "Whether reality or simply show, these examples make it clear that a good defense against drones is vital for both bodyguards and military in the field."

Sounds a lot like the "security through obscurity"-argument. I was never a fan of it. If we don't research and communicate the dangers, potential issues might slip! We need to be proactive in these things.

I find it always a bit sad that I have to accept it that whatever I'll do, I can't reach the genious of their work. Especially Scholze seems like a very nice guy. I hope he continous his very productive (and hopefully fun!) journy

I always struggle with these generalizations. People take them too literally. I don't think this is racist or belittling, it's just the impression of the author. I also think these generalizations are possible, because culture imp

haha I just read it and thought that's a magnitude less than I expected. Pretty often it is. A lot of papers from high profile institutions have a lot of computing power availiable. First, it seems to be a lot and be really expensive,

Question: I am a student in germany and in my early 20s. When I look back, for example at my summer holidays, we were biking for miles to spend the afternoon at a public swimming pool in a neighbouring village (approx. 40 min bike ride, may

just to chime in. The monty-hall problem is a pure math (probability-theory) and not statistics-excersize, since we know all the probabilities beforehand and don't estimate. It's very important to distinguish between bayesian infe

I am not really sure what this has to do with bayesian vs. frequentists? the bayesian theorem is a mathematical fact. It's true if we just accept some basic axioms. Bayesian/Frequentist divide is also pretty independent from the p

interesting viewpoint. Are there other examples of companies exhibiting this behaviour?

It's always interesting how something monopoly-like makes companies lazy. I am a cs-student with 3 1/2 year old a machbook pro, which I bought when I started my studies. I must say that I am still very, very satisfied, it's h

I am worried that a company as important to the open-source community as github is now owned by one of the major players. I think it really impacts the neutrality of github. If I would compete with microsoft in a certain space, I would real

I have thought about it...but I don't really know whether that's the case. There is no encouragement or any instructions how to help yourself. We aren't all famous singers. The videos are great to watch, but to me it really f

EA? EDIT: Make-a-Wish seems more like a giant pr-machine. Granted it's helping some, but wasting a lot of resources that could be better allocated. I guess I am part of the movement, without ever thinking about it

offtopic, but I really like the fresh minimalism of the website. The colors and the choice of the monospaced font are quite unique. It captures the feel of using a terminal without being boring.

I recently had to develop a quick PWA for a small conference. I had no serious web-development experience prior (i know the basic of js, HTML and CSS) and decided to use ionic. I expected a lot of struggle, but I was seriously surprised, it

I don't really think that unsound type systems are wrong, because I think it depends on the role of the types in the programming languages. Typescript, Java etc. don't have that sophisticated type systems and you can just check th

I don't think this is true. I do specialize in ML and you are probably talking about neural networks ("deep learning"). While they do require a lot of data for most tasks, it's still finite and after a certain size the i

I don't know how you are doing this, but with NNs there's still be the chance that result contains significant parts of the text-books. I am not a lawyer, but because you are only interested in the syntactic equality (the sematic

I don't agree with the fundamental concern. I think sacrificing maintainability for ease of use is a valid thing to do. Saving 100x 20 minutes in developer time for the library users for taking an hour more to implement a feature is a

as someone who was once part of various eco-activism movements, you really start to notice all the privately owned public places. Usually, all political rallies or demonstrations are not allowed there. I think this is really unhealthy for t

I think haskell is rapidly improving in this area. It suffered from every editor having it's own home-grown backend. Haskell IDE-Engine [1] is becoming quite stable in my experience (using it myself) and while providing all the basic f

I was speaking about the concept. So essentially using ServiceWorkers, Web App Manifest etc. to produce something that resembles native apps. Why would it not make sense? I was just thinking about giving macOS the same functionality as iOS

Are there some quick, easy and usable UI-frameworks for buttons etc. and other common UI-Elements? I am a bit out of the loop in the web-ecosystem, but the PWA look very interesting.

thank you, Jekyll probably won't suffice. What is the better option for a custom look? The style of the buttoms etc. is custom and not based on material design or any other (and also the main focus of the website). I can't share i
