Advanced or centaur chess (where the team consists of a man plus a computer chess engine) tournaments routinely consist of 90% draws, and the best players are estimated at 3600 ELO, very close to the theoretical perfect play [1]. You may fi

FWIW, you can bypass the Economist's paywall by reloading the page and then quickly stopping the reload. The HTML loads but not the js that implements the paywall. Hope I don't jinx it!

Students can design, build, validate and launch their own cubesats through special programmmes. Even cooler if one of them launches a flying data center. Limited bandwidth would be an issue.

That's so easy it's done in embedded programming university classes. All VW did was turn on the 'cheat emissions' flag in the ECU supplied by Bosch. Don't get me wrong, it's still cheating.

Auto-starting trailers for adult movies like Predator is a horrible experience if you have kids in the house. Who thought that's a good idea should never be allowed to make decisions. Thanks for the idea to uninstall that app.

This is basically the biggest research question the field of ML has. How to express useful prior knowledge and how to embed it in a network ? The current answer mostly is "network architectures can express priors". That's wha

The app programmer is definitely considered as an user (or operator) of cryptography libraries. That's what the "user misuse-resistant" best practice is all about: designing tools robust to wider levels of user expertise.

There is no GDPR compliance requirement for personal, non-commercial, side-projects. You can gather PPI on all the people in the world and use it on your own for non-commercial purposes and GDPR has nothing to say about that.

Well this is surely extraordinary among codes of conduct, with its direct mention of God. It's bound to ruffle a lot of feathers, and act as a beacon for culture war.

The load per user can be widely different in different application. We don't have a great measure for that, one cound use a combination of requests per user per day, and the sum of CPU-seconds used to serve them. The sum of CPU-seconds

You should be aware that echo-state networks are considered special cases of recurrent networks. One variant of recurrent networks, LTSMs, dominates state of the art on a wide variety of problems. They're expensive to train, in computi

Only in non-North American datacenters. In NA, Nvidia can enforce their driver license, which prohibits use of consumer GPUs in datacenters. A nice advantage of non-consumer GPUs is their bigger RAM size. Consumer GPUs, even the newest 2080
