MIT researchers describe an NAS algorithm that can directly learn specialized convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for target hardware platforms—when run on a massive image dataset—in only 200 GPU hours, which could enable far broader use of these types of algorithms. Is our AI learning?

I just checked out the share price of Medtronic and I am amazed that it has not plummeted!
I would have thought that this sort of issue would bring a company down overnight.

A consumer spyware vendor left a lot of incredibly sensitive and private data, including intimate pictures and private call recordings, for all to see on a server freely accessible over the internet. And it still hasn’t taken the data down. But...you just did?!
And now I did. O.o

The topic of the article is a big face palm.
But on a side note... I don't know what is more worrying, that a company earns money with that, or that so many people buy / use it.

Key Takeaways
Complexity is the greatest impediment to a software company’s growth and profitability.
Development costs increase exponentially with respect to the complexity of your code base.
The choice between speed and simplicity is a false dichotomy. Investment in simplicity is investment in speed.
Few executives recognize the cost of complexity because they don’t understand the nature of the products they’re selling.
Software is a product like no other — a hybrid product-service with a very unique warranty.
Complexity is a characteristic of your company’s source code. It’s usually the consequence of several failings. "Simplicity is the most deceitful mistress that ever betrayed man."

Stupidity is the greatest impediment to a software company’s growth and profitability.
Development costs increase exponentially with respect to the the number of untrained people you hire.
The choice between speed and simplicity ignores the fact that both simplicity and speed sacrifice future maintainability.
Few executives recognize the cost of complexity because they don’t understand the nature of anything.
Software is a product like no other — you know you're buying something that's broken when you buy it
Complexity is a characteristic of your company’s source code. It’s usually the consequence of several failings: stupidity, speed, and simplicity

I like it, but in most of those statements shouldn't you replace simplicity with complexity.
Although, simplicity for simplicity's sake can be a problem. Often complex problems require complex solutions.
Anyway, be as simple as possible, but no simpler, and be only as complex as necessary but no more complex.
Or even: go be a gardener.

Computers, like those that power self-driving cars, can be tricked into mistaking random scribbles for trains, fences and even school buses. People aren't supposed to be able to see how those images trip up computers but in a new study, researchers show most people actually can. "You are human. Only humans can explain their behavior. Please explain!"

Misleading article title and silly study. In short, people are smart enough to outwit a computer with minimal instructions. Even shorter, AI is bullshit.

But AI's OK, really. It's the idiots who drone on about how AI will be able to do absolutely everything that increases the bullsh1t factor geometrically.

Compute Cards were Intel's vision of modular computing that would allow customers to continually update point of sale systems, all-in-one desktops, laptops and other devices. Pull out one card, replace it with another, and you have a new CPU, plus RAM and storage. I'm sure that the person that bought one is sad

Computer cards?
I think I've heard of them.
Are they the ones with pictures of stripped down hardware?

he software maker has been testing versions of this browser internally at Microsoft, and now The Verge has secured an exclusive first look at the early work thanks to a source who wishes to remain anonymous. Looks like a browser.

I'm stuck with edge at work, and it is a huge PITA.
I can only hope that the new version has at least got a status bar!

Thousands of new API or cryptographic keys leak via GitHub projects every day. That's OK. No one ever looks at the source.
