The UK Finally Starts Reforming Its 'Computer Misuse Act'

Computer Weekly reports on "the long-awaited reform of Britain's outdated Computer Misuse Act of 1990 — which has hamstrung the work of the nation's cyber security professionals and researchers for years."


The Computer Misuse Act was passed 35 years ago in response to a high-profile hacking incident involving no less than the King's father, the late Duke of Edinburgh. It defined the offence of unauthorised access to a computer — which has been used successfully in countless cyber crime prosecutions over.

Неоднозначные выводы о ROI в УЗИ классификации

В медицинском компьютерном зрении есть идея, перед которой трудно устоять: сначала найти патологический объект, а потом классифицировать уже не весь снимок, а только его.

Логика простая: берём маску опухоли, оставляем область интереса, всё остальное закрашиваем — и даём классификатору «чистую» картинку.Но с УЗИ... Read more

Не то чтобы визжала и пряталась под кровать, но отходила от окна, выключала комп (типа берегу технику, ага, на самом деле просто страшно было), вообще вела себя не очень адекватно. Думала, что все понимаю: грозовая туча накапливает заряд, молния бьет сверху вниз, поэтому под деревом стоять нельзя, в воде быть нельзя, понятно-логично-страшно.И вот в универе была лекция по физике атмосферы.
