Unfortunately, it is not that simple. There are multiple ways to generate adversarial examples and simple defenses help at most against the simplest attacks. Every now and again a new preprint "one simple trick defeating the latest adversarial defense technique" appears on arxiv.

I believe they are linked to the nature of DL (and ML in general) models. We try to capture very tiny manifold of natural images in the space of all possible images. We found a technique that does it well (CNNs). But by the very definition of its training we train it to output some values in a finite number of points. In the same time CNN's output outside of those points are mainly defined by the model's smoothness. We can expect that in a neighborhood of a given image the output will be roughly the same (it allows them to generalize). Far from any point of training set the model can say anything. Adversarial examples basically hint that this smoothness work well only along natural images manifold, once we step outside it is much more chaotic. Or, equivalently, the neighborhood where the CNN gives roughly the same output is a very thin "slice" that closely follows natural images manifold. Why is that? Probably there are some non-trivial topological reasons. But it is exactly what nobody understands now.

Agreed that multiple stents and multiple vessels can be stented in one cath session. My point was more that there isn't very strong evidence or criteria for what constitutes a vessel that should be stented versus which should not. Worse, plaques are dynamic – what looks benign today could rupture and cause a complete/near occlusion. Rupture and subsequent thrombosis is more dangerous than stenosis itself.

Yeah, the headline doesn't seem to be remotely correct for the numbers in the poll. I assumed "people don't want" meant that the acceptance rate was some tiny number, like 1%. But no, 15% of adults are "very comfortable" with it, that's huge! Another 13% are "somewhat comfortable," making it even huger.

A better headline might be, "Poll Shows 70 Million American Adults Comfortable With Amazon Deliveries Into Homes."

I use the "mom and dad test". My parents are completely non-tech savvy... by no means luddites... but they know very little of the details.

They seem fairly aware that Facebook and Google probably knows more about them than the NSA. And they don't care - because they can easily snap chat their kids or post pictures to their friends on pinterest. What's more, they sometimes even find the sales ads helpful.

Average users, in my opinion, are reasonably smart.

I have no idea if the source numbers are correct, but this is a better statistic. Mining uses the same amount of energy as used for ~58k average office buildings. So the worldwide bitcoin mining energy consumption is about half of that currently used for banks only in the US. This is assuming banks are "average" (probably higher due to security concerns) and of course that banking doesn't consume energy in any other way.
Amazon doesn't have to set this up. I know a handful of people who bought a durable plastic trunk for their porch, and leave it open with a padlock available. There's a sign on it instructing for deliveries to be placed in the trunk and then padlocked. They have the key and are able to retrieve it when they get home from work.
> Does seem like a bad way to run a business.

This is how businesses maximize profits nowadays. Nearly all new jobs since the recession have been unstable contract jobs, and nearly 40% of workers nowadays don't have stable jobs[1]. This is why even though unemployment is incredibly low, inflation has been flat: workers lack the leverage required to experience wage gains.

Well, kind of. The issue is that Centennial also mostly overrides UWP's sandboxing. (Notice Centennial apps have "full access permission".) This is not a good solution, it is a stop gap.

UWP is more than capable of supporting advanced, quality desktop apps. The issue is just that while Windows 7 is so prevalent, developers have little reason to prioritize native UWP dev, which won't run on half the Windows userbase.
Or, simply with better machine learning.

> The border between “truth” and “false” is almost linear. The first cool thing we can derive from it is that when you follow the gradient, once you find the area where the predicted class changes, you can be fairly confident that the attack is successful. On the other hand, it tells us that the structure the decision function is far simpler that most researchers thought it to be.

Humans can be fooled by optical illusions as well; but those illusions are much more limited and much more noticeable than most of these. My (very non-specialist) interpretation of the italicize clause is that a) vulnerability to these attacks is a continuum, not a binary, and b) the current ease of these attacks reflects the crudity of our current ML techniques.

I agree with that judgment. I think we have seen that some in the cultural reaction to Soylent, which is mentioned in the article. Even setting aside questions about nutrition, cost, and cultural weirdness, some people are simply opposed to it as a matter of principle, and feel extremely strongly about it.
Honestly attitude like yours are a big part of the issue. Developers love to treat non technical people as dumbasses to ignore at best, or make fun of/exploit at worst.

Maybe try to put yourself in the shoes of someone who works 3 jobs as a single parent and uses their phone to look for new housing when they get evicted or sign up for online classes, instead of claiming broadly that “they can’t bother to learn HTML”. Not everyone is as privileged as the millions of teenagers who have hours and hours of free time every night and access to a computer+internet to learn how to code or the privacy implications of surreptitious HTTP requests.

If developers had spent the past few decades thinking of how to make technologies understandable, open, democratic - instead of insulting 99% of the population like you just did - perhaps we wouldn’t be in this mess.

I am speaking as a former dumbass privileged teenager/engineer who thought he was smarter than everyone else.
There is a 19 year nutation cycle of the earth due to the moon, and there is the 11 year solar cycle, and how these interact with each other give most of the short term variability.

But unless you have been actively aware of and remember the weather for 100 years or more you are not going to recognise the full range of possible changes just in the short term, let alone the slightly less short term like the 20,000 year nutation etc etc

> anyone who expects it not to change

And you appear to be using an example of a version-change curiosity as a counterexample. It is not a counterexample, because the version number in question changed from 8 to 10. In my original formulation, anyone who claimed to worry that the number would stay 8 forever was being an idiot or being obtuse.

I think that holds up. It was not part of my comment, but someone who expected it to be 9 would not be an idiot or obtuse, because that would have been a reasonable guess, absent additional information. They were expecting it to change but were surprised by an exceptional circumstance.

But this is getting a bit silly; there may be someone out there who thinks version numbers should be immutable across versions, but I bet they're pretty lonely. It was an example picked up while making a wider point.
The point is that the questions I outlined become increasingly less scientific. There are genuine scientific questions, but there are lots of others that are kind-of scientific, and others that are not scientific at all.

They have a separate pilot program for letting residences/communities/etc buy one of their 'lockers' - freestanding lockers that they deliver to and give you a code to type into for picking up your package.

Playing a video without my consent, even if that is an implicit contract (i.e. lead advertising video) to watch content I want, is inherently dishonest.

The goal as always is to divert my attention, sell me something of dubious value or some other equally vacuous purpose.

If it pays the bills for worthwhile content producers to mine crypto currency as a form of micropayment, I think that's a better trade with lower psychic cost.

I have managed to make periods in my life completely free from unwanted content, and they are blissful compared to the never ending attention grabbing bs of the advertising and public relations engines of modern industry.

They are simply a waste of people's time and energy.

If crypto-mining is done openly, of course. It's certainly dishonest if it's not disclosed.
> In the city if you don't have a doorman, a package is almost guaranteed to get stolen.

That’s taking a pretty narrow view of ‘the city’ - very few places on the west coast have a doorman for example (I’ve never actually seen one), and there are plenty of cities where you could have a package not stolen. Of course if your definition of a ‘city’ only includes Manhattan then you may be correct.
To some extent, practical security isn't about closing off every avenue of attack. Obscuring obvious avenues of exploitation is a big part of it since most crimes are crimes of opportunity.

I was an editor at Chicagoist for over a year and am also a web developer. I am assisting some fellow employees with getting their stuff downloaded, luckily a lot of it is safe on Wayback Machine. You'd be surprised how many didn't know about that. Newer stuff is harder, I and others are urging them to get it off Google Cache before it's refreshed.

That said, it's still a pain, for example I have to update multiple websites that link to the site and some of my websites are easier to update than others. It will be easy on some of my newer sites but I have an old Drupal blog that now has a lot of broken links and I'm not excited to update it since I no longer really do Drupal.
I've been playing around with a way of extracting information from the text on websites (eg, finding names of people or price ranges in a textual story rather than in a table).

I have about a 30 minute trip on the tube each way, so that's a dedicated session to focus.

I set a session word count target of 500 words and try to make something happen. The last couple weeks I was easily hitting 1000 words in total over both sessions. But like code, that's no indicator of quality

The tough times are when I really don't know what's going to happen, and try to come up with something. Other times I can really get in the flow, and stop thinking in words, but more in thoughts, and the words just form themselves.

Most days when I get to my stop, I'm in the zone and want to keep going. Maybe the forced stopping helps in some way to keep things fresh.

Repeat again on the way home.

But now that I finished the draft, I feel much less productive. The past week I've been reading and making minor tweaks, but I probably need longer editing sessions to ensure better continuity.

Btw, when I started, my target novel word count was 75k words, similar to the first Harry Potter.

I did about 45k on laptop. But then blew past my target and hit 95k.

Now I have to decide whether to do a lot of chopping, or keep the extra bits.

> If this is Amazon's solution to missing packages, it's the wrong one.

The comments when Amazon Key was announced[1] were also giving good reasons why that's not a great package delivery solution.

But if you watch the video of the Amazon Key annoucement[2], they mention multiple other scenarios: "maybe let in your dog walker, a friend, or maybe to let in a team of cleaning ninjas"

I don't think it's too far-fetched to see the 'friend' here being actually your airbnb guest. Many airbnb homes already use a rudimentary lockbox with code, if the guest can now instead set up something on their amazon account and know they'll be able to get in (at least the initial check-in, and have a key waiting on the coffee table), it could make the experience smoother for the guests, and the host as well.

It was a miracle. The doctor later told me that he is 14 for 16 for getting people to start pooping again through Cinnabon.

Do you think it's mainly bureaucratic inertia that keeps it separate? Or is there something more complicated about controlling engine power than I imagine?
