You comment does not give any argument behind it. If both "it's" and "its" are merged, what, do you also propose merging "weather", "whether"? Weather that is nice, is nice weather.

I used to do that, but it's not necessary anymore. You can almost always, by phrasing more carefully, get exactly what you need with DDG. I also think that it's better to learn to search properly than finding the best search engin

I like reading old Perl code. It's much more interesting than the Javascript code that displays stupid YouTwitFace plugins. BTW, is this kind of specialised fork-exec code that writes back HTML code to the parent process still in use?

I don't quite follow what is a Gaussian process. What do you use, node weights, node inputs/outputs, or...?

I understood the first three lines :P So... what would be an example of such an external program? Something that accesses a SQL database and changes values on the HTML page? I ask this specifically since you mention that database access wou

A function does store information. The common definition of a function is the set (R,(X,Y)) where R is the graph of the function (consisting of the pairs) and X and Y are domain and codomain, respectively. Computation can be seen as some ac

by mikorym 7y ago
This kind of touches on my original point. A function can be seen both as the set of all pairs of the function, or as an oracle that you feed input to and receive output. The first is to me the full memory space, the second is maybe computa

Edit: SC1, obviously. I am sorry to concede that I didn't have a future copy of SC2 back in 1997.

So the band and state register is memory? And the instruction table is computation?

This is assuming you have an automaton, I would guess? But what if you approach it via something like entropy? Edit: Doesn't that step function encode all of memory implicitly?

Don't you think that most of your clients being breached is immaterial in the greater scheme of things? You seem to be bothered by the "overall picture". I am also prone to this sentiment (not in infosec though) but I am actu

I think he is saying that you do the training on cleartext data.

by mikorym 7y ago
I would think the pre-trained point is critical. Is there a way of doing the training (without being provided a trained model) all on the encrypted side?

Are you a <some definition of normal> developer? Personally, I am much more interested in mathematics than necessarily coding and a lot of my "this is super boring" rants are related to that. Automation for me (in the job co

From a mathematical view on complexity, I don't see exactly the difference between memory and computation. I wonder what would be suitable definitions for the two concepts.

But are you saying that a ML model is just a function? The function C is clear, but what is f? What is the domain and what is the codomain? If f and C commute, then x in X is just your "data" and both the domain and codomain. Edit

What exactly is boring about it? Not /s, I'm interested to know.

It would be good to see a proof why the homomorphism property is sufficient for doing ML (or a specific type of ML) on encrypted data. Intuitively it may or may not make sense to people, but a proof would also clarify whether there are any

> fully homeomorphic encryption I think you mean fully homomorphic encryption, that is, f(x.y)=f(x).f(y). A homeomorphism is a isomorphism of topological spaces. If you do mean the latter then it would be something new (and I am curious

Although 1000 koalas are believed to have been killed in these recent fires (from the article), it doesn't look like they are "functionally extinct" [1]. Also, it seems like that particular claim was made earlier the year as

I'm sorry, but is this really news or what is it? Criticism against RCTs are in biological sciences too. I don't see how criticism against RCTs is news. Is it that the prize winners are just being more scientific about RCT and get

There is a law in South Africa called "Die Mandament van Spolie" or otherwise "spoliasie". It is not the same as spoliation in English; spoliation is the spoiling of evidence. Spoliasie , however, means that you can&#
