Effective research is not always published. There are volumes of private research in technical disciplines you will never hear about. There is not enough data available for you to declare confidently that the PhD is a strong requirement for

You don't need a PhD to do research. All information is free now. It's fully possible for individuals to self teach in a working environment and be capable of performing effective research with 2-4 years of good experience after u

Voting has nothing to do with it, let alone votes per person. PoS doesn't require a voting system as EoS has implemented. The problem is having transaction inclusion decided by individuals that are voted in. It's analogous to havi

I agree the example is weird, but that's literally what the paper says: "In the training phase, it takes as input an encrypted training data and outputs an encrypted model without using the decryption key. In the prediction phase,

I don't think you can apply the model (with unencrypted outputs) without all the decryption keys.

It's also just inference, not training.

It might be of some general interest to note that there exist such objects - distributions over distributions, or metaprobabilities. They have practical use - for example, if you are playing a game with uncertainty, you might observe someth

This paper exactly accounts for the increased uncertainty due to multiplying these factors together. It's unclear to me how that makes it invalid...

How is the premise of monte carlo analysis flawed because "of course multiplying together..."? Monte carlo is just a way to estimate the total distribution of the resulting drake probability given uncertainties about the other val

The lesson is rather that optional static typing is useful. The programmer should be able to choose based on what makes sense for the task. Strictly statically typed languages preclude the option of going dynamic.

This is not completely true - they provide labelled poses as part of the training set. The differences are really minor.

Is that controlled for measures of merit? Or is that the accidental effect of correlation between ex. academic performance and socioeconomic status?

I'm surprised people are so blown away by this. It's a cool demonstration, but for this problem you have basically infinite training data. If you can find a latent space of faces this is hardly a stretch, since you already have a

This would be a good opportunity for something like Alpha Go. Learn a heuristic function and then do tree search using the heuristic. You could start by hand-designing a heuristic and do best-first search to see how much better you do versu

Yeah, that's right. I don't have any personal recommendations for materials, but the Andrew Ng course would likely be a good start.

The biggest value of ML here would likely be to create a more useful energy function. This could be informed either by object detection data or hand drawn "energy" masks. The other big change that could be useful would be to go wi

It's code. If there's a bug it does what the bug says. What happens when there's a disagreement with your program that prints "Hello W0rld"? It prints "Hello W0rld".

Naive question - wouldn't a lot of these issues be much better if passwords were (on top of server side processing) salted and hashed client-side? Then in principle you couldn't do these cross-site attacks where people reuse their

Yeah, super expensive for sure. But in principle possible - I'm sure there are smarter ways to do it. I could also see some users willing to pay ~$1K or more. A big company committed to high-security, open source firmware for their rou

One expensive way that would work would be to write a compiler in Solidity. There might be better ways involving breaking up the code and splitting it up between compute resources like on Golem. By the standards of common blockchain cryptog
