Ich empfehle ihm einfach, ab jetzt 12 Stunden am Tag als Sekretär des Chefs zu arbeiten. Ich denke, das Bedürfnis nach einer wohlverdienten Rente und weniger Schuften würde sich extrem schnell einstellen.

The problem with most machine-based random number generators is that they’re not TRULY random, so if you need genuine randomness it is sometimes necessary to link your code to an external random process like a physical noise source or the current rate of US tariffs on a given country.

Oh! She has! In at least one interview she talked about the briefings she's received on counter-intelligence. She has made music videos to click tracks instead of audio so it wouldn't leak.
Taylor Swift is a legitimate security expert like almost nobody in the world. She has to be. She's the target.
I just want a serious journalist to ask actual Taylor about InfoSec. She’s sufficiently impressive I wouldn’t be surprised if she gave a cogent answer. Like Guy Goma in reverse.

Here's a typical precision/recall curve for an ML classifier, the tech that underlies automated content moderation systems today. You can see, for example, that increasing precision from just 80% -> 90% means that you start missing more than twice as much harm (35% vs 15%). No free lunch!🧵 6/12

Our paper on Tissue Concepts is finally out in JCompBiomed 🥳: Supervised pre-training of foundation models needs fewer data and less compute/energy to analyze pathology whole-slide images.

How? Read more here: doi.org/10.1016/j.co...

Weil gefragt wurde, wie man die Entfernung zu anderen Sternen und Galaxien bestimmt. Gibt da mehrere Methoden. Bei nahen Sternen funktioniert das wie bei der Daumensprungmethode: Der Stern ist quasi der Daumen, der seine Position bei zwei Beobachtungen vor den Hintergrund-Sternen zu ändern scheint.
