Robustly synthesizing and delivering adversarial input to cameras in the wild in real time is a very different problem. Easier to just blind then with a laser. Which you could also do to humans, if you're adversarial enough.

I have the feeling that the fact that imperceptible peturbations changes the labels, means that our networks/models don't yet look at the "right" parts of the input data. Hopefully, this means research will focus on more

You should say "ALU utilization" when that's what you mean.

by jwatte 9y ago
I think thinking about the CPU add mainly the ALU seems myopic. The job of the CPU is to get data into the right pipeline at the right time. Waiting for a cache miss means it's busy doing its job. Thus, CPU busy is a reasonable metric

The fact that psychology (and other social sciences and even medicine) have a replication crisis in spades is well known. Just Google it, if you haven't been following the general science news for the last few years. Even the "har

The abstraction and data layout cost penalties are extremely different in a GPU than on a general purpose CPU.

I think he is familiar. The "you can't do" comment really means "you can't do with good performance." Typical C code would not run fast on a GPU. Indirect data (pointer chasing) has /extreme/ latency

An ordered binary tree still can fail to N if you allow duplicates. (AFAICT: Most of these trees have a "typical" case search time of some root of N based on dimensionality. The easiest way to visualize this is to consider a walk

Minor quibble: It says std::deque is a doubly linked list, but that's what std::list is. FWIW, Deque is actually more like a vector.

Yes, a Canary lets you limit the damage if some bug sneaks past testing. We've done it for over 10 years, with staged rollouts and automated crash statistics and such. The draw back is that prod needs to be tolerant of multiple version

There you go again, trying to apply facts to a global political power game much bigger than you'd ever be allowed to even know about.

If someone can synthesize this peptide and sell it as a nutritional supplement right now, they'll make a killing. Do I know any chemists? :-)

But the rich ruling class is richer and more powerful in the US. Thus, the US way is more successful (for the aristocracy.)

Don't waste time commuting. Don't waste time watching TV. Try to mindfully get high quality out of the time you have. And make sure to communicate and take turns with your partner!

We have milions of active users, and a large engineering organization, and our engineers push their own code. Every hour, every day. We've internalized writing code that deploys well both going forwards and going back. 99% of all chang

Regarding the speaker grille "why:" I'd assume the "speaker ports" are either for air flow, or the entire case works as a resonance chamber and wave guide. Are there other reasonable options?

The problem comes when someone else already used "product" for another concept in the system, and you now have to come up with an appropriate synonym. (Or the same for any other common concept: Object, connection, lock, etc)

Sounds like most of that is functions, not objects, so lose the classes and use free functions!

If Haskell is better than Python, then writing the first version in Haskell and the second version in Python should yield two versions that are closer in quality than if you did the reverse order. Assuming you can measure quality, this is a

Aggregations and interfaces cover 99%of what you need. Implementation inheritance and virtual variation points create too tight coupling to be workable for evolving systems.

So, ship version one, early, and figure out whether it's worth keeping at all, or whether to kill it and not waste time on versions 2 and 3.

Instead of using separate monad transformers, we use a single "World" that knows how to provide Redis, logging, iOS, and other typeclass instances. There is a RealWorld that runs on top of IO and a FakeWorld that runs on top of pu

Why a new partition type and reliance on btrfs? I've had real problems with btrfs fairly recently. Can't all this be achieved with containers and file system overlays already?
