Where Money, Investing, and Technology Meet
Megan: And last year, when Michigan’s Governor Whitmer announced this new initiative and your position, she noted the need to foster this sort of culture of innovation. And we hear that a lot that terminal in the context of company cultures. It’s interesting to hear in the context of a U.S. state’s economy. I wonder […]
A figure in Ilyas, et. al. that struck me as particularly interesting was the following graph showing a correlation between adversarial transferability between architectures and their tendency to learn similar non-robust features. Adversarial transferability vs test accuracy of different architectures trained on ResNet-50′s non-robust features. One way to interpret this graph is that it shows […]
Ackman’s best ideas still look attractive at today’s prices. Bill Ackman likes to keep his hedge fund, Pershing Square Capital, invested in just a few high-conviction companies. Indeed, it’s hard to generate market-beating returns if your investments are spread so thin your portfolio looks pretty similar to the overall stock market. But Ackman and his […]
For a while now I have noticed people quoting me from my books. At first it was just charming and brought a smile to my face. But then, as they continued and became more common, the number of quotes grew. I began to regret I hadn’t thought to collect them. Ah well, no going back […]
Jul 02, 2025The Hacker NewsNetwork Security / Threat Detection With nearly 80% of cyber threats now mimicking legitimate user behavior, how are top SOCs determining what’s legitimate traffic and what is potentially dangerous? Where do you turn when firewalls and endpoint detection and response (EDR) fall short at detecting the most important threats to your […]
What if you could spot the weakest link in your software supply chain before it breaks? With GitHub’s dependency graph, you can. By providing a clear, complete view of the external packages your code depends on, both directly and indirectly, it allows you to understand, secure, and manage your project’s true footprint. If you’re like […]
Section 3.2 of Ilyas et al. (2019) shows that training a model on only adversarial errors leads to non-trivial generalization on the original test set. We show that these experiments are a specific case of learning from errors. We start with a counterintuitive result — we take a completely mislabeled training set (without modifying the inputs) and […]
In 1900, there were just 8,000 automobiles registered in the United States. By 1910, there were nearly half a million cars. By the start of the Great Depression in 1929 it had skyrocketed to 23 million. Just 2% of households owned a car in 1910. By 1940, it was more than 90%. Today, 70% of […]
from the seems-bad dept The Supreme Court this morning took a chainsaw to the First Amendment on the internet, and the impact is going to be felt for decades going forward. In the FSC v. Paxton case, the Court upheld the very problematic 5th Circuit ruling that age verification online is acceptable under the First […]
In the summer of 2018, more than four decades after its founding, Apple (AAPL 0.82%) became the first publicly traded stock to reach a $1 trillion market cap. Today, many companies have surpassed this valuation threshold. Some are now worth several trillion dollars. Still, no company has ever reached the $10 trillion mark. But the […]
