Recent advances in deep learning enable automated analysis of this growing amount of video data, allowing us to query for objects of interest, detect unusual and abnormal events, and sift through lifetimes of video that no human would ever want to watch. However, these deep learning methods are extremely computationally expensive: state-of-the-art methods for object detection run at 10-80 frames per second on a state-of-the-art NVIDIA P100 GPU. This is fine for one video, but it is untenable for real deployments at scale; to put these computational overheads in context, it would cost over $5 billion USD in hardware alone to analyze all the CCTVs in the UK in real time.

To address this enormous gap between our ability to acquire video and the cost to analyze it, we’ve built a system called NoScope, which is able to process video feeds thousands of times faster compared to current methods. Our key insight is that video is highly redundant, containing a large amount of temporal locality (i.e., similarity in time) and spatial locality (i.e., similarity in appearance in a scene). To harness this locality, we designed NoScope from the ground up for the task of efficiently processing video streams. Employing a range of video-specific optimizations that exploit video locality dramatically reduces NoScope’s amount of computation over each frame—while still retaining high accuracy for common queries.

One of the bots, named BabyQ, made by the Beijing-based company Turing Robot, was asked, “Do you love the Communist Party?” To which it replied simply, “No.” Another bot named XiaoBing, which is developed by Microsoft, told users, “My China dream is to go to America.” When the bot was then quizzed on its patriotism, it dodged the question and replied, “I’m having my period, wanna take a rest.”

The Department of Justice on Tuesday charged an Iranian national with allegedly hacking into HBO, dumping a selection stolen files, and attempting to extort the company by ransoming a treasure trove of the company’s content. This summer, hackers released a bevy of internal HBO files, included scripts for Game of Thrones and full, unaired episodes of other shows.

Behzad Mesri, aka “Skote Vahshat”, at one point worked for the Iranian military to break into military and nuclear systems, as well as Israeli infrastructure, according to the newly released complaint. Under his Vahshat pseudonym, Mesri also defaced hundreds of websites in the U.S. and around the world, the complaint adds.

[...]

Mesri allegedly tried to pry $6 million from HBO in the digital currency bitcoin. As The Daily Beast reported during the extortion effort in August, an HBO employee offered the hacker $250,000, although that was likely to be an effort to stall the hacker. Mesri also pinched financial documents and login details for HBO’s social media accounts, the complaint reads.

that's the cryonics ICO recommending my blog post ripping the poo poo out of cryonics to a prospective customer. At this point I admit I am confused. I mean, at least I apparently got the factual details about the ICO and company right.
