Vaidyanathan, a computer scientist at the Vel Tech R&D Institute of Technology, a privately run institute, is an extreme example: he has received 94% of his citations from himself or his co-authors up to 2017, according to a study in PLoS Biology this month. He is not alone. The data set, which lists around 100,000 researchers, shows that at least 250 scientists have amassed more than 50% of their citations from themselves or their co-authors, while the median self-citation rate is 12.7%.
會想要提是因為想到當年 Google 的經典演算法 PageRank,就是在處理這個問題... 把 paper 換成 webpage 而已。
California’s Department of Motor Vehicles established new rules announced Monday that will allow tech companies and others working on driverless vehicle systems to begin trialling their cars without a safety driver at the wheel. The new rules go into effect starting April 2.
不過不是完全獨立運作,而是有附加條件,讓遠端的控制中心可以在必要時介入:
This doesn’t mean test vehicles will be out there on the roads without any kind of human intervention backup – the DMV will require that those testing autonomous cars without a driver present have a dedicated communications channel that ties the car to a remote operator, who can take over if needed. The cars will also need to be hardened against cyber attacks and be able to provide their owner and operator info to any other parties in the event of an accident.
開頭的「FF D8 FF E0」可以在「List of file signatures」這邊看到是「JPEG raw or in the JFIF or Exif file format」,而這四個字元在 javascript 不會出問題。接下來的「2F 2A」表示 JPEG header 長度,剛好就是「/*」,把後面的東西給包起來,後面再用類似的方式一直組合就打穿了...
The goal is to convert *their* C code (not all C code). They want generated code to be human-readable and maintainable. They want automatic conversion to handle 99+% of code.
第一波想要用機器轉換過去,而且要轉出可維護的程式碼。可以馬上想到的事情是,如果這件事情成功,代表現有軟體的 C code 也有機會轉移?
