schestowitz                                    <blockquote>Oct 11 08:37
schestowitz                                        <p>In Ubuntu we have a third type of upgrades, handled by a separate tool: release upgrades. ubuntu-release-upgrader changes your sources.list, and applies various quirks to the upgrade. </p>Oct 11 08:37
schestowitz                                        <p> In this post, I want to look not at the quirk aspects but discuss how dependency solving should differ between intra-release and inter-release upgrades. </p>Oct 11 08:37

schestowitz                                    <blockquote>Oct 11 09:23
schestowitz                                        <p>A typical solution for letting people with cerebral palsy drink without assistance is a “giraffe bottle.” That is a water bottle with a long gooseneck straw that extends in front of the user’s mouth. But while that does give them the ability to drink on their own, it is obtrusive and leaves a bulky straw in front of their face. RoboCup eliminates that issue by rotating the straw out of thOct 11 09:23

schestowitz                                    <blockquote>Oct 11 09:32
schestowitz                                        <p> In this paper, we improve this attack by developing several new techniques that enable us to extract with arbitrarily high precision all the real-valued parameters of a ReLU-based DNN using a polynomial number of queries and a polynomial amount of time. We demonstrate its practical efficiency by applying it to a full-sized neural network for classifying the CIFAR10 dataset, which has 3072 inpuOct 11 09:32
schestowitzts, 8 hidden layers with 256 neurons each, and about 1.2 million neuronal parameters. An attack following the approach by Carlini et al. requires an exhaustive search over 2256 possibilities. Our attack replaces this with our new techniques, which require only 30 minutes on a 256-core computer.</p>Oct 11 09:32

schestowitz                                                <p>What is especially depressing about this latest DDoS attack was how few machines were needed to create it.
