Adversarial images targeting an image classifier have been shown to be transferable to separately trained models (i.e., models with different weights or different architectures relative to the model for which the adversarial image was constructed to target).

I'm curious if the adversarial CA reprogramming techniques are similarly transferable. That is, do the adversarial CA and/or the adversarial perturbation matrix transfer to separate CAs (trained on the same task) with different weights or architectures than the original CA that was targeted?

Is this something you've explored or plan to?

Wine 2.0 released 9 years ago

"It's saved me from having to install complex or insecure VMs..."

Can you elaborate on this? My intuition is that running an application in a VM provides more security than in wine.

Per your comment, I wrote a Chrome extension that creates links to other HN submissions pointing to the same URL. Hovering over the links provides additional details.

This provides similar functionality as the 'past' link in a submission's subtitle, but shows the duplicates automatically.

Here's the extension:

Here's the source code:

"Sorry if you miss the nuance in my point."

I interpreted your original comment similarly to your description in your reply, so I don't believe I missed nuance (unless I missed it twice). My comment and question were intended to clarify the meaning and usage of the expression "ad hominem", independent of this thread's topic and nuance in your comment. Like I mentioned, I don't use that expression often.

"It is not ad hominem to bring someone's motivation and prior record into consideration."

I don't speak latin and don't use that expression often. Are you saying it's not ad hominem because the motive is considered as opposed to attacked? I ask because I had thought that it is ad hominem "to bring someone's motivation and prior record into consideration".

Here's the definition on Wikipedia: "a logical fallacy in which an argument is rebutted by attacking the character, motive, or other attribute of the person making the argument, or persons associated with the argument, rather than attacking the substance of the argument itself". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_hominem

I didn't read the link of this post, or the link in your comment, so hopefully I didn't miss something. I was just curious since I thought "ad hominem" describes what you were saying is not ad hominem.

"This seems like an dangerous appeal to authority to me. Just because Linus said so doesn't make it true."

What is "this" that you're referring to? (e.g., posting the link to Hacker News, the post making the HN frontpage, a specific comment on this discussion, something in reply to Linus, etc.)

"Any thoughts..."

Existing HN hiring threads start with:

"Please lead with the location of the position and include the keywords INTERN, REMOTE, or VISA if the corresponding sort of candidate is welcome."

Searching for "intern" matches postings with "internet", "international", etc. I've seen comments suggesting that a search for "remote" matches "no remote".

Here's a quick fix that uses a prefix, for consideration:

"Please lead with the location of the position and include the keywords +INTERN, +REMOTE, or +VISA if..."

Here's the description.

Join NOVA on a mathematical mystery tour—a provocative exploration of math's astonishing power across the centuries. We discover math's signature in the swirl of a nautilus shell, the whirlpool of a galaxy, and the spiral in the center of a sunflower. Math was essential to everything from the first wireless radio transmissions to the prediction and discovery of the Higgs boson and the successful landing of rovers on Mars. Astrophysicist and writer Mario Livio, along with a colorful cast of mathematicians, physicists, and engineers, follow math from Pythagoras to Einstein and beyond. It all leads to the ultimate riddle: Is math a human invention or the discovery of the language of the universe?

I thought that HN had a policy where the titles used are taken verbatim from the page being linked to, unless they're so completely terrible that an alternative title is needed.

It seems that's the intent expressed in the HN Guidelines (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html):

"Please don't do things to make titles stand out, like using uppercase or exclamation points, or adding a parenthetical remark saying how great an article is. It's implicit in submitting something that you think it's important. ... Otherwise please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait."

I don't think the author(s) of this site are any of those things, but I also know that Yosemite as a whole is not designed to take away 100% of your privacy, which is what the title implies. This is also what turns me off about a lot of FSF propaganda, and most politicians regardless of their beliefs.

Are your referring to the title of the HN submission, "Mac OS X Yosemite – No Privacy, by Design"? That text does not appear on the website. The website refers to "parts of Mac OS X which are invasive to your privacy."

The other thing that comes to mind, which is minor, is that TortoiseGit and TortoiseSVN both have a place in the GUI settings where an SSH client can be specified (e.g., the path to Putty's plink.exe). I noticed that TortoiseHg does not have a similar setting in its global settings GUI, and must be configured manually in the config file.

I had the same issue this blogger describes regarding "No URL Selected". The solution is given in the comments. I did not review the whole post, but I think the post addresses some other issues as well that you might be interested in reviewing.

I also believe that installation on Linux could be more polished, but that is based on my experience from over six months ago, so I'm not sure if the process has been improved.

These are the first two things that come to mind since you asked. Overall, I find the program polished, and when I use it on Windows I find the shell integration convenient.

That answers the uncertainty in the blogger's disclaimer: "* Disclaimer: I can’t be sure this isn’t against the MTurk posting terms. In fact, it might be."

One reason for NC State's restricted sharing policy might be to encourage participation in class. Some students may be discouraged from participating in lectures if the content will be distributed.

This seems less likely in the NC State example though, given that the same policy seems to apply to all course material, in addition to video lecture recordings.
