I can only imagine that they must be clever enough to have tried this, surely. Or perhaps they are so full of recent comp sci and aero graduates that have never busted out a logic analyser that no-one ever said "we should just sniff

If these were concert or sports tickets the people doing it would be called "scalpers". The world is a curious place, full of contradiction and wonder. We only like the free market for some activities.

Reminded me more of H. H. Holmes' Murder Castle Some victims were taken to one of the rooms on the second floor, called the "secret hanging chamber", where Holmes hanged them. Other victims were locked in a huge soundproof ba

But you'd have to know what it does for all possible states. Not impossible but non-trivial. They are the kind of people that could have an ASIC ground down and reverse engineered. Non-trivial. They have extremely skilled engineers and

If it has a custom ASIC in the connector card then it would be rather difficult. Possibly "grid the top off the chip and recreate the mask" difficult.

by SixSigma 11y ago
Because you can't emulate the physical interface, you need to build an actual one. And if it has some custom ASIC in it, you're SOL.

I was rather over simplifying a tad and being conversational (and I'm not an expert, not even much beyond beginner). It is indeed an exciting time.

Thank you for the input. Yes I was being a bit flippant and shallow, ewll more conversational really. You're right about hype being dangerous.

I think it is something people just like to say because both sound a big magical. Neural nets are matrix multiplications and addition. They are generally memory constrained on GPUs and Main <> GPU memory is also a bottleneck. I don&#x

"never assume bad intentions when assuming stupidity is enough" You were originally implying stupidity but now it is bad intentions. I don't disagree with your analysis beyond that

Pretty much every prize is won on Kaggle with either a random forest decision tree or neural net. Perhaps one of us should write a classifier to see if we can predict which will be best for a problem a priori.

I really do dislike this style of reporting : A bold claim stated as fact. Claims report by X.
