If they add PoW to their malware, it will slow them down or even alert users / admins because of the high CPU usage it will cause.

Yes pass it down to the user by computing eMail PoW client side if that is a concern for your business...

Not every server needs to understand it. Only the ones wanting to participate. If you choose to filter by PoW and a server does not provide PoW, you will still receive all of its emails just flagged as spam. So email PoW roll out can work iteratively.

Just released 0.5.0 which adds semantic search for images using text queries. This is powered by OpenAI's CLIP model (https://openai.com/blog/clip/) released on Jan. 5, 2021. Works pretty good on my end - awesome stuff!

Hey, I have been hacking on HyperTag over the last few days. I am keen on feedback and potential contributors.

From the README: What is the point of HyperTag's existence? HyperTag offers some unique features such as the import function that make it very convenient to use. Also HyperTag's code base is written in Python and thus extremely small (<500 LOC) compared to TMSU (>10,000 LOC) and SuperTag (>25,000 LOC), making it very easy to modify / extend / fix it yourself.

In this blog post I lay down why I think existing programming eco systems could greatly benefit from content and behavior addressable code.

IMO a great collection of advice. A must read for anyone planning to or already using neural networks in research or business applications.

I had the pleasure of using Erlang in Data Structures, Graph Theory and Distributed Systems classes in university, had been lucky with the professor.

Yup usage is simple:

$ ram firefox

Will print total firefox RAM usage.

On my machine (Arch Linux) it works without root...

I concur. I am happy with my lean setup:

- SyncThing: decentralized, fast & unix aligned

- CryptPad: end-to-end encrypted, real-time collaborative editing

Another possible propulsion method: Build a giant Gauss cannon [0]. Using electricity though would add another energy transformation step reducing overall efficiency. Water steam would be directly produced off the nuclear reactors heat.

Found an image that visualizes the multistage concept of the cannon I image: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Haskell_USP484011_1892_01...

Interesting, thanks. The second link is kinda related to my idea but would produce fallout for every launch, so not really practical.

Just an idea that occurred to me. Curious if this could work out.

This would be nice to have in combination with IPFS. https://ipfs.io/

Abstract: ML models often exhibit unexpectedly poor behavior when they are deployed in real-world domains. We identify underspecification as a key reason for these failures. An ML pipeline is underspecified when it can return many predictors with equivalently strong held-out performance in the training domain. Underspecification is common in modern ML pipelines, such as those based on deep learning. Predictors returned by underspecified pipelines are often treated as equivalent based on their training domain performance, but we show here that such predictors can behave very differently in deployment domains. This ambiguity can lead to instability and poor model behavior in practice, and is a distinct failure mode from previously identified issues arising from structural mismatch between training and deployment domains. We show that this problem appears in a wide variety of practical ML pipelines, using examples from computer vision, medical imaging, natural language processing, clinical risk prediction based on electronic health records, and medical genomics. Our results show the need to explicitly account for underspecification in modeling pipelines that are intended for real-world deployment in any domain.

Cuz it is goddamn hard!?

"BERLIN (Reuters) - Germany’s cartel office said on Monday it would appeal a regional court decision to suspend restrictions it had placed on Facebook’s data collection practices to the country’s highest court. "

Am I understanding this correctly: They are removing restrictions, so this a win for FB?
