>99.9%+ of all papers published by Math professors are incomprehensible to all but a few experts. That's just flat out not true. In fact I would hazard a guess that the reverse is true (0.1% of math papers are incomprehensible to mo

Your 2nd point is critical, you can filter these images easily before even running them through the DNN. However researchers are also interested in why it is possible to spoof NN's in general. The typical response of 'overfitting&

Its the citation chain game! When you first start reading papers in a new field you essentially have to read every citation present to understand whats going on. As you accrue knowledge you'll need to read fewer citations and you'

Come on, its 20 lines long. Time and time again I see people arguing on HN as if they haven't read the article. Is it just bad reading comprehension or is it that people read the headline and jump the gun?

"self-driving car" and "car capable driving itself on highway under optimal conditions" are 2 totally different things. The real excitement comes when I can tell my car to go pick up the kids from school or drop me off a

Please check my edit above. Thanks for the extra information. It would have been nice if the article author brought up some statistics that could show whether programs like these are under used.

The Ivy Leauge admits roughly 20,000 students every year [1]. Lets say they give one fifth of those get free admission. That is a total of 4000 kids which is practically nothing! Roughly 5 million people are admitted to University every yea

I'm going to have to agree with the top post, sometimes really smart people say stupid things. I wouldn't read too much into it.

It cracks me up how that is the go to 'application' for all robots, drones and swarm-bots. It is used so often it has become a cliche.

You can get down a layer two but that's about it. There is no method for capturing a full 3D model in experiment, although we can get projections from X-Ray diffraction and other scattering methods. Also there are single photon X-Ray m

Is it really so terrible that they try out new projects and abandon those that don't either don't work or aren't profitable?

What is it that the firmware can achieve? Is the firmware capable hijacking data, communicating with the NIC and transmitting data? Or is it somehow injecting harmful code? I feel like I'm missing something here.

Can't you just write all 0's to the drive or just reformat it? Genuine question here, why would you need to physically replace the drive to ensure security when you can write to the whole thing?

White rice is off by 50 calories for example (135 on chipotlefan and 185 on chipotle).

That's odd some of their values differ greatly from the ones provided by Chipotle themselves. This strikes me as a significant problem, nutritional values are provided and are totally inaccurate. Which one is accurate how can we judge?

Isn't part of the problem that production costs for batteries are so high? I suspect this is Tesla staking claim in a market that will grow as the price of large rechargeable batteries drops. And that price drop will in large part be d

Are you seriously suggesting pay should be determined by how fun a job is and not how much skill it requires or how much it contributes to society?

The other possibility is the irresponsible over use as with drones. If they aren't too expensive you could just strap a bomb on one of these and run it towards any possible threat. I agree with your assessment and look forward to the o

It seems like using these devices for delivery is one possible end goal (besides the obvious military applications). A self driving truck alone cannot deliver packages to your front door. However put one of these robot dogs inside and figur
