This sounds actually illegal? Like unauthorized access to computer systems federal crime illegal? What the fuck were they thinking.

That's a great example of why unit testing is mostly useless. Having an expected/input output set when writing something like a parser is standard practice. Turning that set into u…

There's a much easier way to break it down. Tests are a pattern. And patterns are the bread and butter of the medicore. That's not to say that patterns or tests are bad, but high c…

A DNN might be more effective at exploring the hypyerparameter space than people are with their intuition and luck. Rumor is Google has achieved this.

So the only advantage of the TPU is it's a simpler and more specialized asic? Google didn't break any new ground in terms of training perf?

No. Handing over card details just pre-authorizes them to make transactions later.

You're suggesting that your n=1 anecdote weighs more than those thousands of reddit stories? Or that my position is invalid because instead of engaging in another n=1 anecdote I ag…

Because calling paid-for representatives has such a strong record of success over the last decade of human rights erosion. Talking to your representative is roughly as useful in cu…

The plea of stupidity in high profile insider trading cases is a smoke screen - that was my point. Highly successful executives engage in insider trading quite frequently (see link…

I would say that if people on HN are saying the attack is too stupid to be government supported, then the government has succeeded at their primary goal of having plausible deniabi…

That's probably a question that CS researches will get to address one day in the future... Estimating what percentage of reasonable length DNA arrangements leads to intelligent org…

The definition of 'arranged marriage' today has been neutered. Until 2 generations ago, arranged marriage meant that women had absolutely no say in their marriage - it was at the d…

Does it even matter? It's a learned behavior in humans too. Nurture plays a far bigger role in what we do than people give it credit for.

I don't think all branches of evolution lead to intelligence given any finite amount of time.

It's worse than just having to trust their metrics. Last time I looked, you can't access your own realtime heart rate no matter what - it was only available to 'registered partners…

Agreed. I guess the core of the question is 'what does that ultimately give nintendo?'. And that's where I think the government needs to step in as it did with copyright and patent…
