I try not to immediately call BS on these types of studies…but in this case there are some concerns. “The data sets were randomly divided into training (85%) and test (15%) sets. We used 10-fold cross-validation to obtain generalized result

I think I speak for essentially everyone here when I say, "fk this guy's boss". Old mate here in this thread slacks off or 2 days, his boss is already very respectfully thinking of firing him. It's not 1920. The modern m

The article is hand-wavingly vague — but even if they can intercept, e2e should render it useless. Thus, the implication is that they have some ability to render e2e pointless by being able to access the phone by other means. Thoughts?

I had a quick scan through the actual linked article [1] but couldn't find the actual SPU protocol? It seems like there are two variations but no details of the regimen (reps / sets / duration). Admittedly, it was a quick loo

Three of their best ML engineers /devs left in the last 12 months or so. The backend for anything deep-learning is MXNet...which is essentially a non-starter these days vs PyTorch or TensorFlow. All these functions you cite are very lo

Rather than just bashing Stephen's personality and rehashing Cosma Shalizi's driveby on NKOS, can we try and focus on the technical accomplishment that Mathematica represents? It really is an astounding system. If you enjoy functi

To be fair, it's not the doctors doing the feeding; it's the hospital administrators who are almost always business folks representing the interests of the shareholders (increasingly, PE firms). Hospitals are glorified hotels with

This article goes through a whole range of the classic tech used in the film. But the most entertaining part was discovering that the WOPR was a plywood box with a person inside operating an Apple II!

There's an interesting comment in the tweets that links to an article claiming high levels of uric acid in the blood of high achievers. The article is about the consequent prevalence of gout in that demographic. Less well known is uric

This thread is pretty interesting. I’ve had a non-trivial “addiction” to Diet Coke in various times of my life. MDs and Neuroscientists please weigh in! When I put my Bayesian hat on, I think this claim falls over (lots of people in general

I mean, hats off to one of the greatest pieces of overengineering (and the documenting thereof) in history. Not only does this ensure a comfortable reclining work position — it ensures absolutely no one will ever want to recline with you, e

> The people hiring them have no clue, hence why the marketing is the most important thing This observation is absolutely spot on. An ignored element of meritocracy is visibility -- and, perhaps, as you suggest, inertia. And then we end

I think you're missing the point. For the amounts paid given the relatively small tasks involved this whole thing is outrageous from a tax-payer's point of view: how much of even your personal tax dollars went burned on this? Wh
