Beware of wealthy people saying they wouldn't do it again. They are just validating their own lifestory: it was hard, incredibly hard. Implicit in that statement are approximately 8 billion other statements, where they believe they suffered more than than every other individual on Earth who makes less than them.
This is doable. Many coastal wastewater systems already have large pipes that extend miles to sea (1), and that's a rounding error compared to the many more miles of pipe routing sewage to the plant (2, pg A-3)
Has anyone tried the same adversarial examples against many different DNNs? I would think these are fairly brittle attacks in reality and only effective with some amount of inside knowledge.

So, there's a camera in the dash looking up at the windshield and focusing where it expects to see a face, thereby using the windshield as a reflector? And maybe there's some additional etching and deposited films in the windshield to support the angles required?
And perhaps you can put cameras elsewhere, and similarly subtly modify the windshield or other glass to look at other things as well?
I've lived with an EV for 3 years now, and take some legit road trips from SF: Utah, Vegas, LA, San Diego, Tahoe. I have also been all over the world and done many, many trips (far to many to count). I submit the optimum mix for most Americans right now is roughly 1 EV and 1 hybrid, solar roofing and a battery storage system. The average American has a spouse. Even if we ignore kids, we can roughly assume, unless those suburbs are way more empty than they appear, that both people have a car. Let one have an EV, and one take a hybrid. That way, they can cover the occasional very long drive in relatively remote areas.
Keep in mind, it may very well eventually switch, where gas stations are less common than high power EV chargers in the remote areas. Sort of a Dutch disease issue: once the EV chargers are the dominant market, the gas station market is likely to quickly fade until it's just diesel and finally all electric.
The Mad Max theorists worry that they won't have power for their electric vehicles in the event of an apocalypse. Friends, how long do you think refineries, pipelines, and oil freighters are going to stay going in the event of an apocalypse? Better to get good at rigging some salvaged solar panels, an inverter, and re-learn the old pass times, like dominos, dice, and cards.
It's a holdover from the days of Morse code. Recall the first computers were for military problems, and the first output was teletype. Teletype was originally for military messaging and that had a long history of using all caps because they relied on manual transcription of Morse code (and other codes) over wire and radio. The all-caps policies were put in place to make sure the officers could consistently read what the operator had transcribed. Some of these date back to the 1850s. The Navy didn't actually do away with all-caps until 2013.
This comes down to a combination of security and provenance. You have to protect the data, of course, but you also have to keep track of the use rights. Identifying all use rights upfront seems tricky, are the Creative Commons licenses sufficient?
I have a friend who worked at Gusto, and my wife tried using Gusto for her small business (they handle payroll for small business, got a big boost from the pandemic). The lack of technical resolution here is so Gusto, it hurts.
Yep, this is Microsoft's answer to the terrible Citrix user experience, which is a non-trivial component of burnout in healthcare.
Every hospital basically tells their staff, several times a day, via an electronic health record system served over Citrix: we don't trust you, and you time is worthless, fuck you. All in the name of security.
Meanwhile, 11 hours ago over on Reddit a dude has connected a robot to ChatGPT. The robot sees and talks, and clearly has motorized limbs. All you need now is to turn verbs into servo commands:
All vessels have limits on the sea state they can handle, particularly small vessels. Very large vessels can generally handle much more. You can see how much more the traditional small patrol vessel is bouncing out there, my spine hurts just watching. I could see this being used for pilot vessels and harbor patrol craft, for sure.
Unless of course you're trying to sell to an enterprise who's core competency isn't computational, and has limited capacity to manage new operating systems in the fleet. Lots of big orgs can only support so many things. It seems odd until you realize they're not running your service. they're running thousands of services across multiple geographic regions with hundreds of thousands of corporate users. And all the upgrade paths that go with this whole thing, and the external facing integrations, etc, etc.
So, sure, if you've got a stand-alone B2C service that's making money today, enjoy your FreeBSD, SUSE, whatever. But if you're clients include big banks, chunks of governments, etc, think really hard about going off the reservation.
Given the sensitivity of data handled over Citrix connections (pretty much all hospitals), I'm fairly sure Microsoft just doesn't want the headaches. My general experience is that service providers would rather be seen handling nuclear weapons data than healthcare data.
