I have recently read "The Little Learner" and was quite amazed how much I knew already just because I know APL/J. With the right libraries, these vector languages would be perfect for neural network / deep learning tasks

I would be really interested in seeing such a case where there was no extraction of a raw pointer or similar involved. Could you please point me to such a CVE?

I am not sure if the comparison is correct. Basically, they are looking at the Android code base and calculate 1 vulnerability / kLoc for C++. This doesn't tell us anything about the distribution over time. It could be that Google

To be fair, the second link you provided is for the 3rd edition and lists something like 20 errors (including typos, etc.) for a book of approximately 800 pages.

I have recently found the MAX78000 MCU which has some nice features that can be used for recognising trigger words (but also object recognition etc.) I have ordered the feather board to try it, but haven't had the opportunity to test i

Great summary! Also, at [1], one can hear Deepmind hinting at that state-of-the-art engines (Stockfish, Leela Chess Zero) will beat Alphazero. [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2MncpRMnFA&feature=youtu.be...

While reading the code I stumbled upon "case 1 ... 10:” or similar and asked myself how I could have missed this range feature for so many years. It turns out that this is a GCC extension and indeed not part of the language. A list of

Really great project! What I didn't understand was why there is a need for a 7905 to convert -12V to -5V. It looks like that pin 20 should be providing the -5V already?

Mexico is actually using a 28 days / 13 months convention for their interest rate swaps. However, I have no clue how that came to be.

I would also suggest to forget about Hull and Wilmott and would suggest to start with the excellent book by Shreve: "Stochastic Calculus for Finance. Volume II: Continuous Time Models". Then, you can quickly read Bjoerk, work thro

Thanks for your story! I am wondering why your teacher would use nitric acid. Wouldn't iron(III) chloride have been much safer in a workshop with children?

What in particular has happened since then and which textbooks explaining these new techniques or discoveries would you recommend? Last time I studied this, I worked through Ott's book and through the book by Almeida, but both are olde

Thanks, that was a fun read and could be an exercise or two in a course on general relativity. I was just astonished about the references to Wikipedia, Stackexchange and Wolfram (apparently Mathematica). Maybe this was actually written by a

Reading about "copycat" was very inspiring. There was "metacat" as a successor, but beyond that, I am not aware of additional research. Would you know why this direction wasn't followed further?

My most favourite demo of 2000 was "Heaven 7" by Exceed [0]. That someone could do smooth raytracing (of course with many tricks, but still...) was mindblowing for me. [0] https://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=5

In Austria at least, this was quite common. I remember that the phone booth in our school only accepted a phone card and almost every pupil had one for emergency cases. You could buy them easily in magazine shops.

It's not about how old the technology is, but from when on it wasn't used as e.g. a pseudo-RNG, but rather for storing data. So, formally, still a RNG, but using a special seed to get a sequence that is equal to the data that one
