I don't think YOLO [0], the object detector he talked about, requires a massive amount of data as he claimed. Yes, if you want to learn how to classify 1000 different categories li…

Reminds me of http://www.nina4airbnb.com/ who made an extensive analysis of where airbnb should target next in an attempt to convince airbnb to hire her. After her website went vir…

Quite interesting how the authors even mention that this strategy is very economically viable. From the paper: 'Assuming a selling price of $2 per 1,000 solved captchas, our token …

The author did compare their performance with captcha-solving services. His accuracy is comparable to the service with no extra cost to the attacker. From the paper: "We compare ou…

A little hard to take seriously considering the author works for Canonical. Even so the author didn't seem very excited about it, it felt more like an acceptable phone and not that…

I've went through the same thing as OP. I'm a student located out of the US that applied for internships at all major companies in the US (Microsoft, Facebook, Google, Apple, Palan…

How are you going to know where someone's property ends? You're not going to equip a lawn mower with a mounted laser range finder and sophisticated image processing capabilities.

It is not about it being completely free. The whole point is how 235€ or even 1000€ per semester is nothing compared to tens of thousands americans pay in tuiton. Top universities …
