The researchers have proposed that a low-temperature quasiparticle called a phason enables the IX to move even while it’s trapped. A quasiparticle is a quantum of energy within a crystal lattice; it has momentu
Setting a worrying example: The AI ethics team, led by applied AI ethics pioneer Rumman Chowdhury, was doing some really impressive stuff to rein in the most toxic side effects of Twitter’s content moderation algorithms, such as giving outsiders access to their data sets to find bias. As I...
Especially when you make all your collections copy-on-write (CoW), so an errant reference count bump can make an O(n) algorithm O(n2)! (I actually consider this a correctness error in the case of data structures and algorithms, but reasonable people may disagree.)...
If you think of a datamart as a store of bottled water – cleansed and packaged and structured for easy consumption – the data lake is a large body of water in a more natural state. The contents of the data lake stream in from a source to fill the lake, and ...
The first contribution is to introduce a class of so-called frequency-based minority games. These are games where a player benefits from choosing an action that is less popular among the players. Minority games have been used to model a variety of different phenomena ranging from congestion, ...
Exactly the same way if the Hash function SHA-256 is used then the strength will only be 128 bit, even if the encryption uses AES 256. Actually, that is one of the reasons why you will not find comprehensive information on all crypto algorithms on the sites of manufacturers. ...
creates an index. These are the standard terms in search technology to describe how a search engine structures its data. Even though every engine structures its data differently, the end result is always an index. We use the words data and index, not dataset, database, or any other such ...
In colorectal surgery, AI is used with colonoscopies to detect polyps and adenomas. A meta-analysis of 48 studies found that AI use significantly increased the detection rates.16 In plastic surgery, studies have found AI to be capable of diagnosing skin cancers,17 lagophthalmos,18 frostbite,19...
As reported by journalist Kate O’Neill, the challenge was perfectly sugarcoated to produce a clean set of biometric data that could be used to train facial recognition algorithms, on which companies such as Facebook and Amazon have been working for years. Pulling information from a variety of...
except that a single token is modeled around a unit of cost. For example, a millisecond of processing time. A calling application would acquire a single token to perform a task, and after performing the task, would update the quota service with the actual number of "tokens" used. After-th...
