Thanks that's quite interesting. Your results of seeing higher startup costs definitely mirror my experience. When I need constraints on CMA-ES for real world stuff I've been using a simple equation to map the output of the parame

Cool, I'd be really interested in seeing that and might try out myself later. It'd be really interesting to see a comparison of the two on optimization problems with a large number of dimensions which stock CMA-ES takes a while (a

Can anyone comment on how the performance of this is compared to evolutionary strategies such as CMA-ES? ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CMA-ES )

I think one of the potential advantages is energy consumption of this compared to running deep learning on a conventional CPU/GPU would be dramatically less. If the memristor chips could be mass-produced, this could lead to things like

Exactly. Often the shipping weight will be measured as it is shipped (likely because most of these are coming by air). Alibaba and others pass this shipping information on to the customer and would likely notice overly low shipping weights.

Does anyone know more details or thoughts on how you can cryptographically prove an item was at a given location at a given time? Is it a tamper proof IC with some GPS ability?

Some lidar manufacturers are now working on trialing software (in airports and government building) which identifies people from pointclouds from many lidar units and tracks them. Fused with even poor facial recognition could make a quite p

A little off-topic, but does anyone have any recommendations for methods for managing 10s of git repos as various dependencies for wildly varying projects as opposed to this sort of mono-repo approach? I've seen some organizations try

Yeah, I would be really interested to hear some ideas for applications of this. Maybe for IOT devices between different houses to securely communicate and collaborate? Or a way to expose a public interface to your toaster without exposing y

On some of these embedded chips there are methods to glitch the fuses for read protection by messing with the power (a form of fault injection attacks). These used to work a few years back but I haven't heard if they still do.

Does anyone know if this Inception Drive will be patented heavily as well? Or if it will be fairly easy to build products around this sort of design?

Jarring exactly the phrase I'd use to describe my experience the past few weeks noticing that ads are following me around and not related to the subreddit I'm in.

A main difference that pops out for me is that Restic supports windows, but Borg does not seem to.

I've had a similar thing likely happen from about $100 of things off aliexpress. Air china handed off to the USPS and it showed up as delivered without me ever having signed for it. I argued with aliexpress, and they just saw air china

Does anyone know anything for somehow providing useful information/action out of Surricata IDS logs? I have stuff routed to my syslog, but just always forgot to check for anything interesting.

It's never too late to get into anything if you have an interest and a desire to learn. You may not be able to fit the standard path, but there are always ways to cut your own. For ML/AI, with the massive amount of public material

I tried out tensorflow for the first time a few months ago and was immediately overwhelmed by the variety of workflows in different tutorials. It was very hard to know what the most recent/useful method was going to be. Having a list o

Once you get over the initial effort of switching to surface mount and get a toaster oven/griddle setup, it can actually be quite a lot faster, especially for doing stuff in quantity. Using a stencil you can quickly place paste for all

Does anyone have any experience running some sort of real-time OS on cheap hardware like this? Seems like more high speed control applications could maybe benefit from a really cheap platform to prototype on.

Was there any more progress or work done on this concept since '98?

They've got a normal lidar unit they are shipping or at least offering dev kits for now (similar to velodyne puck at a lower price point and less scanning lines). So they are at least doing something in terms of real products. From wha

For those who are in to financial markets and investing, if this prediction were true, what moves would you recommend making now and once it happened?

This looks quite interesting. I really like the documentation aspect of this. I already leave myself similar notes in docstrings explaining the structure of data going in and out when it's a bit complicated. This would allow me to catc

Does anyone know more information or have experience with the bloomberg data source? How expensive is this sort of thing?

Very interesting, it's not a typical hackernews topic, but I'd be interested in hearing more about your experiences with these.

Yes, I'd agree as well that knowing the low end is useful information. Having gone through interview processes, only to be given a very low-ball offer is annoying. Knowing how how the employer's expectations for salary compare to

Does anyone have any more information on this or any pictures? This seems like just a fluff press release. It seems like this project is coming from Georgia Tech and Minnesota State. Is their any information available from either of these u

Does anyone know easy is it to get a visa for working in tech/engineering areas for Austria? Is something that's actually doable or is it more of a moon shot moving from the US?

Looking at the source I think he's using Sphinx (Python static generator) with the RTD theme, or some variation.
