"Indeed, someone asked us: “I’m curious what type of parameters DADAGAN is set to so he doesn’t go too far, doesn’t disobey, nor do anything unwanted cause of an oversight in the programming”. They were quoting Isaac Asimov’s rules for robots, “particularly where they are supposed to obey their master.”"
"Still, some of the output veers into the figurative. In a relatively short time, it could draw human faces and some creatures that look like animals. How do you imagine DADAGAN evolving?"
"We see many things as alive, it is part of our social and survival instincts. Drawing a line is a philosophical question which comes down to each individual’s interpretation of life and consciousness."
"A GAN stands for Generative Adversarial Network and is a machine learning technique for generation of content. It works by using two systems, one which tries to make convincing output by learning from a dataset and another which judges if the output is real or not. The generator keeps adapting to try to fool the tester and eventually it makes output that is fairly convincing."
"Right now “AI” is not smart, at all. For very thinly defined problems, it works well, but AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) is quite far away, if it is ever achieved. Also, the system is not a robot, there is no physical component, there is no way for it to interact with or modify the world."
"The DADA dataset was very diverse, which can be both a good and bad thing. It’s good because there is a lot of variety to learn from, and it’s bad because it is hard to “converge” on. So, the output that the model generates is quite abstract, however, this aligns with the spirit of DADA."
"People tend to give generated content more credit than they should as far as it’s “intelligence” goes. It is natural for people to want to anthropomorphize technology."
"There is more that can be done by cleaning up and sorting through the data set. For instance, it can be trained on drawn faces, or many images of a particular style."
"It’s hard not to antropomorphize DADAGAN, because it’s easy to play around with the idea that it is making art. Where do you draw the line?"
"GANs are interesting because the output, while in the same style as the input, is almost always surprising and interesting."
"My research interests span from distributed systems to tightly coupled multiprocessors. In particular, I am interested in the theoretical study of asynchrony and its effects in systems (both shared memory and message passing based), in concurrent programming (concurrent data structures and transactional memory), and in networking (network security, protecting against denial of service attacks and routing). I often examine synchronization and coordination problems in these areas using tools and models from theoretical computer science and related disciplines."
"My parents. They taught me to believe in myself and my ability to achieve anything. They also taught me success that comes at the expense of others is not something to aspire to."
"My research interests span the range from distributed systems to tightly coupled multiprocessors. In particular, I am interested in the theoretical study of asynchrony and its effects in systems (both shared memory and message passing based)"
"After the first interview, it should be clear that our company is the only place where they can imagine working. Once this feeling is mutual, we just have to make the numbers fit."
"I can intuitively understand when a technology has disruptive potential. During my years of research, this helped me focus my energy in the direction most likely to result in breakthroughs."
"I am looking for excellent full-time or part-time graduate students to research cutting edge topics in networking and cyber security."
"Passion is one of the most important qualities in a leader. Without passion, it’s hard to build an argument that will compel people to follow you. Once you’ve found your passion, identify your vision and communicate it to your team in an inspiring way."
"The Riverhead Guard, our flag product, protects thousands of sites (including some from fortune-5, and many from fortune-500), keeping them up and running despite massive multi Gbps attacks over long periods of time. Riverhead was acquired by Cisco in 2004, after which I remained a director in Cisco until May of 2009. I have since then returned to a full time professorship position at Tel-Aviv University. 2014 -- 2016 Head of the Blavatnik School of Computer Science Tel-Aviv University."
"I believe the best academic research touches people’s lives, so I wanted to apply social physics at scale in the real world. This became a huge passion and challenge, which led me to found Endor in 2014."
"We adopted the “love at first sight” approach to hiring. That means we only hire people whose eyes glitter with the realization that what we’re building is amazing."
"I had to impact on the management in order to have a real ג€start-upג€ ."
"I became Chairman of the Board to help develop the company and represent the interests of the Hebrew University."
"I fell in love with computers at a very early age, In high school."
"Connected to an IBM computer in Lille. G. Lévy was also due to leave for Dauphine."
"Georges Bourion was then giving the numerical analysis course and Gérard Lévy the practical work on an IBM terminal."
"I recall how I came on the board of Aleph-Yissum at the request of Yissum."
"I found myself in charge of programming and practical work."
"The connection with Lille and the rental of the IBM terminal proved expensive."
"I was tasked with setting up an alternative solution."
"Maurice Bouix, Paul Rougée, the dean, among others, participated in the choice."
"I was then starting a thesis in Paris with Jacques-Louis Lions."
"I arrived at the Rouen faculty in January 1967, after my military service as an assistant in Mathematics."
"The situation becomes pretty tough lately for young specialists as the competition is really high thanks to tons of online courses and a huge hype of IT professions."
"Using the following advice you can significantly increase your chances to stand out among hundreds and thousands of candidates competing for a position of developer."
"I learned about the mathematics of cryptography and was completely taken by it."
"I will tell exactly how I lived this adventure."
"Some names are missing, and many companies are unknown to the present generation."
"I am hoping to help IT and DS specialists do their best to get the job of their dream and to save some time for hiring managers."
"These differences do not affect our attack."
"They are different in many aspects, Bluetooth Low Energy is largely inspired by the original Bluetooth."
"I will give my own personal account and ask for forgiveness if some dates are not exact to the day."
"The original Bluetooth is still widely used by audio peripherals."
"On failure the participating devices cancel the pairing procedure, and might notify the user of authentication failure."
"The user may try again immediately afterwards."
"On success of pairing, the attack had certainly been succeeded."
"On success the attack is undetectable by the user."
"When it fails the user may be notified of authentication failure, yet this behavior is implementation dependent."
"In any case current devices cannot distinguish between our attack and a normal authentication failure."
"It's hard to predict the future, but some people think that Bitcoin could do to finance what the Internet did to communications."
"Bluetooth Low Energy first introduced in 2010 is intended for use by IoT and low power devices."
Young though he was, his radiant energy produced such an impression of absolute reliability that Hedgewar made him the first sarkaryavah, or general secretary, of the RSS.
- Gopal Mukund Huddar
Largely because of the influence of communists in London, Huddar's conversion into an enthusiastic supporter of the fight against fascism was quick and smooth. The ease with which he crossed from one worldview to another betrays the fact that he had not properly understood the world he had grown in.
Huddar would have been 101 now had he been alive. But then centenaries are not celebrated only to register how old so and so would have been and when. They are usually celebrated to explore how much poorer our lives are without them. Maharashtrian public life is poorer without him. It is poorer for not having made the effort to recall an extraordinary life.
I regret I was not there to listen to Balaji Huddar's speech [...] No matter how many times you listen to him, his speeches are so delightful that you feel like listening to them again and again.
By the time he came out of Franco's prison, Huddar had relinquished many of his old ideas. He displayed a worldview completely different from that of the RSS, even though he continued to remain deferential to Hedgewar and maintained a personal relationship with him.
