Which is why they set it up on Tor and don't tell the police their names. They're like crackers who might quietly email the FBI a tip if they happen to find child porn on a server they've exploited.

You really think "Let’s Talk About Amazon Reviews" is a better summary than "Amazon Reviews Are Gamed by Compensated Reviews by Professional Review Companies"? At least in the latter, 4/6 of the words in it are not

Reading the leaks, it seems more like the site programmers are trolls doing it for the lulz who happen to also hand over all their info to law enforcement.

Yes. And rejection means little. The point is that adversarial examples have to be fragiley constructed to fool on one single example for one forward-pass. There is no evidence that any adversarial examples exist which can fool an even slig

The adversarial examples are so weak that they disappear if you give the CNN even some attention or foveation mechanisms (that is, they work only on a single pass). How much effect are they going to have on a CNN being used at 30FPS+ to do

It's not irrelevant, since there is a minor area of ML called 'curriculum learning' which asks how to order examples to teach a ML algorithm most efficiently, and it comes up in some other contexts (for example, a boosting al

But I bet in the private sector they won't have to answer any awkward questions about 'so how exactly did you acquire that IP and how could you lose the source code and logs?'

Philosophy of religion departments are mostly staffed by theists, so there's an easy check on that hypothesis. I've never heard any of my philosopher acquaintances offline or online mention that the philosophers of religion seemed

Titan budgets are definitely a problem, which is why you see so many acknowledgements of Nvidia in deep learning, thanking them for giving a Titan.

And each of those expiries was yet another chance for another video game company to outbid EA. Yet, they did not.

Bootleggers and Baptists... I wonder how all the hysterical anti-tobacco organizations, who see anything with nicotine in it as the second coming of tobacco smoking, feel about that? It should feel awkward.

I don't think that's adequate, that explanation is buck-passing. The NFL doesn't care about Madden or EA, it just cares about making money; if someone else offered it more money, they'd sell the license to them. So why h

Is arithmetic coding still patented? I remember hearing about it being patented along with GIF back in like the '90s, but patents don't last that long - it's 2016, even GIF is out of patent now.

It was not. Gavin's discussion makes zero mention of anything to do with OpenSSL. In the account he gave to Wired, it was Electrum all the way.

No, he can't. That email was probably the hacked one, and Theymos locked the Bitcointalk account ages ago. And that's a dumb method of proof compared to cryptographic ones anyway - how many times has Bitcointalk been hacked now? 2

No. Satoshi signed nothing with that PGP key that we know. Its purpose seems to have been for other people emailing him.
