While agree with your general sentiment, you ought to point out that this very much depends on the algorithm in question. Things like decision trees/forests are quite observable.

Like what? I'm not being flippant here, I'm really in the dark. What harm can one do with an SDR, and how does the potential for abuse compare to e.g. a cell phone?

Honest question: can you remove speed limiters on "track day"?

I'm opposing the slowing of metabolic state due to external temperature versus a neurological origin.

Are the bees actually sleeping (in the neurological sense) or is their metabolism slowed by the cold?

by presscast 8y ago
That's how . The question is "what problem do they think they're solving"?

Right, but why would they want to regulate SDR?

Seems interesting, but I got paywalled. :(

Yes, this is why I'm saying it's the "common" failure case, rather than the absolute failure case. To illustrate, there are very few cases in US law where you can shoot someone in the back.

You're talking about intent, but the parent poster is talking about reasonable belief. In US courts, the latter is (generally) what matters for self-defense claims. Courts don't expect victims to have perfect knowledge of a situa

Not necessarily. AFAIK the common case where your logic falls apart is when an attacker takes flight. At that point, it's really hard to argue (under the law of every country I've ever lived in, including the US) that your life i

I would also add that there's a rich ecosystem of extremely well-trained engineers coming from the Grandes Écoles system. The result is a lot of top-notch contributors who get involved in FOSS projects in their 20s.

Sounds cheaper than lobbying to get a law passed. Just sayin'...

Agree. What I'm proposing here is something closer to "paid expert contributions", to an otherwise non-advertorial piece. Obviously this needs to be properly disclosed, but the result is very different from an advertorial, i

You're supposed to be reasonable. Phrases like "copaganda" suggest you're not. I'm telling you this to help you be more convincing.

Full disclosure: as my handle implies, I'm one of the co-founders of presscast.io. Obviously, I have a horse in this race. I want to point out that advertising doesn't have to be intrusive. While this isn't appropriate for

Points taken. I should clarify that my experience is with French infantry, which I suspect accounts for the slight difference in vocabulary. Re "firing solution", I've heard it used both in artillery (i.e.: "solution t

No, even then it has nothing to do with whether or not the subject of debate is scientific. Bad deontology on the part of an individual doesn't discredit the field as a whole.

That has nothing to do with whether or not something is a science.
