I wonder how this is going to work. It's like trying to ban exports of encryption algorithms, good luck with that.

@Reuters US Gov't document adding “Software Specially Designed To Automate the Analysis of Geospatial Imagery” to export controls has precise wording restricting geospatial imagery software that trains ConvNet for detection, data augmentation and data labeling GUI.

@Reuters Aside from the technicalities of enforcement, it is more important to look beyond the words and see what isn't being said, especially for people working in this area.

“To start a PhD in ML, without insider referral, you need to do work equivalent to half of a PhD.

Hence, in Apr 2019, I decided to dedicate all my time until Jan 2020 to publish in either NeurIPS or ICLR.

If I fail, I would become a JavaScript programmer.”

— @andreas_madsen ‼️
If you already went through the tough work of publishing twice at peer-reviewed venues, and really just after a PhD rather than the process, have you thought of going for a thesis-only PhD, rather than spend years working for a PI?

Some places offer these titech.ac.jp/english/enroll…
How feasible it is to do a thesis-only Doctorate these days?

I haven’t read much into it—only know that Einstein got his doctorate from a thesis submission.

“Fudan University, a prestigious Chinese university known for its liberal atmosphere, recently deleted ‘freedom of thought’ from its charter and added paragraphs pledging loyalty to the Chinese Communist Party, further eroding academic freedom in China.”

qz.com/1770693/chinas…
Students and academics at Fudan University appear to have protested this change. But the video of the group chanting lines from the old charter, shared on social media (domestic WeChat), has since been removed:
“The changes provoked a substantial reaction on Weibo. A professor at Fudan U’s foreign languages school, said on Weibo that the amendment is against the university’s regulations, as no discussions occurred at staff meetings. That post was later deleted.”

Thinking a little today about Congress's powers related to subpoenas, which date back to materials requests in 1792, Warren in 1957 “The power of the Congress to conduct investigations is inherent in the legislative process." Here's a good overview: law.justia.com/constitution/u…
Odd to me that some right now question this, so let's begin with the Constitution: "All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives." U.S. Constitution, Article I, section 1
So from that we get Congress's power to conduct investigations, including "under" "penalty" (i.e. subpoena) requests for evidence, testimony...Thanks @Susan_Hennessey @lawfareblog "The Rules of Congressional Investigations & Trump’s Growing Russia Problem" lawfareblog.com/rules-congress…

What if I told you that #BigTech and #SocialMedia platforms are manipulating you, steering you toward #Health information that they think is right, rather than letting you evaluate content for yourself?

Commentary by @MaryamHenein (Thread 👇) theepochtimes.com/google-censors…
Accredited professionals, meanwhile, who stand for #Health freedom and who criticize Big Anything, are losing posting privileges, getting banned, being buried, finding themselves deranked, and getting digitally assassinated.
Content is literally disappearing from the Internet along with our #Health choices.

It sounds conspiratorial because it is. Independent #Journalists and health experts are blowing the whistle. But it’s become a silent one.

So, Trump is saying in his Reverse Speech that The Wall and CERN are a scam in some way, and I just found new reversals on him indicating an invasion mucking within (looking like it's transhumanist & interdimentional) still able and moving forward with a cull, and he's saying
he wants people to slug it out with him apparently to stop it. Who are your transhumanist folks talking about stealing shit from the shadows of other dimensions in public using the D-wave quantum computer whose RS on that indicates a connection to
MK-ing children thru drugs & rape? 👇tifvision.com/2019/03/25/geo…

.@Reuters exclusive: The U.S. government is trying to force Facebook to break the encryption in its Messenger app so law enforcement may listen to a suspect's voice conversations in a criminal probe. reut.rs/2Bl7NEn
.@Reuters: Facebook is contesting the DOJ’s demand, and a federal judge heard arguments on a motion to hold Facebook in contempt for refusing to carry out the surveillance request. reut.rs/2Bl7NEn
“If the government prevails in the Facebook Messenger case, it could make similar arguments to force companies to rewrite other popular encrypted services such as Signal and WhatsApp, which include both voice and text functions, some legal experts said.” reut.rs/2Bl7NEn
