Yes, but that is a computer security issue (and a damn important one!), not an ML issue.

The main issue with this being that markets don't exhibit behaviour analogous to Brownian motion. It's a nice little assumption that makes the math work, but frequency analysis of real world markets shows that they behave like pin

You might be joking, but I know at least one major electronics company where the automated machine tools will send text messages to the plant manager in ever increasing frequency, when scheduled maintenance is coming up. Because otherwise t

You seem to be under the assumption that a typical feedforward DNN is anywhere close to operating like the brain, just on a smaller scale. But that assumption is not correct. Both the brain and artificial neural networks are connectivist, b

It's also very difficult to catch these errors. Your trained model just doesn't work as well as it could, but how would you be able to tell?

Though we shouldn't compare wages in the SF bay area and NYC to anywhere else. SE wages in the bigger european countries aren't significantly worse than in the non-hype areas of the US. In fact a SE in Germany will on average have

Also, the US already has you pay taxes on any wealth you expatriate.

It's the same issue as in the car market. The advertized numbers are wishful thinking. The final price on the deal is almost always better. But you don't see those numbers advertized, because those open positions/cars will be

Yep, the crazy thing is that being a copilot in a regional airline isn't even an entry level job. In the US, you have to somehow manage to finance your pilot licenses AND 1500 hours of flying, before you can even apply to airlines. And

A lot of that is consulting on and reselling of SAP products. There are many companies in the world that want to move to SAP and haven't been burned by IBM yet.

A Tesla S does not do this at all. This article is about a level 3 traffic jam assist.

That "test" has two massive issues: 1) They only pitted older models against the latest update of Tesla's system. E.g. the 3 year old S-class was tested instead of the new E-class, which had just started to be delivered at th

It's different because Audi is actually building and selling a product.

Deliveries in Europe start in 3 months, which means that the software was finished many months ago.

This article is about a traffic jam assist that is robust enough that the driver doesn't need to pay attention at all. The Tesla S can't do this. Audi have lane keep and ACC as well, just like Tesla, but that's not what we ar

You are comparing apples to oranges. Tesla has traffic aware adaptive cruise control and active lane keeping. Audi has those too, but this article is about their new traffic jam assist that allows the driver to completely hand over the resp

But that argument ignores that these systems help stop accidents from happening 99% of the time and focuses only on the 1% when they fail. (numbers are made up) Automation has lead to accidents in aviation as well. But it's still being

True, but it's still the first time real world customers will be able to let the car take complete control/responsibility in real world traffic. For me as an automotive sw engineer this is truly massive step forward, even though w

The robots are mostly build by german companies. Tesla aquired one such company a while ago.

You keep claiming these things. Do you have any shred of evidence? Because from the numbers we in the industry are seeing, it doesn't seem to be the case.

Audi will introduce the world's first mass production car with lidar-based automation features in a few months. They will introduce their first fully electric SUV next year. I would be very careful when throwing shade on them right now

Car manufacturers have been knee-deep in electronics and sw for decades now. 50% of all engineering work on a new car is sw and virtually no function in a modern car is not at least partially controlled by sw. The industry is in the process

The german realschulabschluss is similar to an american hs diploma. Students on the track towards university will add the abitur on top of this, which is similar in depth and difficulty to an undergraduate degree at an american comunity col
