Just use a trusted channel? I mean - we have authentication for bank accounts, why wouldn't that be demanded for transactions like this? Without proper authentication of the authorities there's no way that a transaction like this

I am no expert, but the things I would worry about: - cost to get into geostationary orbit might dominate the value/saving of the cheap instrument, so it might be smart to spend more on that - managing and controlling it might be very

I ran a stressed app some years ago. We only had a wee little backend because our revenue was v.low, but we wanted to do stuff like sleep inside and eat, and so were motivated to cut costs to make profit. What I did was make a table of all

I was really interested to see that a single neuron has 1000's of exciting connections and 1000's of inhibitory connections. I know that this is a gross feature but it's a reminder of just how distant NN models are from the b

they don't and talk about the difficulties in their paper. I found it refreshing to see the standard of frankness and openness in how they address this. But - it's all pretty compelling and will surely prompt and sustain a lot mor

The manuscript gives some details in the context of the difficulty of obtaining larger useful samples in the future and the difficulty of understanding if a sample is typical or pathological.

Well, AT&T was so insignificant that the government broke it into 8, 7 regional phone companies and a core continental provider. The core (AT&T) then sold its tech capability (Lucent). One of the bits (South Western) then ate the co

Thanks for flagging, I updated the readme. I may download everything again and see if I can get the test scenarios running with modern Java. I am so out of date with Java though - what's the accepted best version to run things with now

I have advocated and used pareto fronts as a model selection method for ML for a long while. It's really useful to construct two tests - hard but important, and run of the mill - and plot model performance against each one and draw a

Essentially distributed consistency and co-ordination. NTP isn't accurate/consistent enough because of light speed being limited. This matters for applications like network management and large scale control.

The difference is that mega-corps are ripping off content and reselling it. I hope that the FT can sustain itself for a long time using the money from this deal.

I'll just draw folks attention to the long running AAMAS conference series. Of course, it's quite academic in nature, but it may be that some useful approaches could be picked up from this resource for LLM driven approaches. http
