With machine learning becoming increasingly popular, one thing that has been worrying experts is the security threats the technology will entail. We are still exploring the possibilities: The breakdown of autonomous driving systems? Inconspicuous theft of sensitive data from deep neural networks? Failure of deep learningbased biometric authentication? Subtle bypass of content moderation algorithms? Meanwhile, machine learning algorithms have already found their way into critical fields such as finance, health care, and transportation, where security failures can have severe repercussion. Parallel to the increased adoption of machine learning algorithms in different domains, there has been growing interest in adversarial machine learning, the field of research that explores ways learning ...

A recent study suggests that people who recover quickly from COVID-19 continue to have antibodies against the SARS-CoV-2 virus for several months.

Researchers recently found that some people who recovered quickly from COVID-19 continued to have antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 for several months. This discovery suggests the potential for long-term protection among those with a strong initial immune response. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there have been more than 9 million confirmed COVID-19 cases in the United States since January 2020. With that number increasing every day, scientists remain focused on uncovering how the immune system responds to SARS-CoV-2, which is the virus that causes COVID-19, to combat it successfully. Researchers have been investigating key questions surrounding immunity to SARS-CoV-2 since it first appeared, including how long protection from the virus lasts after reco...

PlayStation 5 plays PS4 games with steadier frame rates, faster load times, and only some minor concerns through backward compatibility. Our impressions of PS4 games on PS5, and the DualSense controller, are here.

Playing your old PlayStation 4 games on a new PlayStation 5 feels mostly effortless and automatic. Of course, thats how it should be; but the it-just-works (and in most cases, works much better) nature of backward compatibility on PlayStation 5 is one of the major benefits of upgrading. Thats especially true if you are, like me, transitioning to Sonys new console from a sluggish, 7-year-old launch-day PS4. Heres how to get your PlayStation 4 content onto a PlayStation 5: During the setup of the new console, the system asks if youd like to transfer game saves and installed games from your old hardware, if you have the PS4 on the same network. Its a straightforward process that can be performed over a wired or wireless connection. The latter option, especially if you plan on wirelessly movi...

He won six league titles, two European Cups and the Euros but Marco van Basten wishes he had retired earlier.

Former Netherlands striker Marco van Basten says he should have retired earlier and his career "was not worth" the pain he has suffered from his injuries. Van Basten, 56, was one of the best players of his generation, winning the Ballon d'Or on three occasions between 1988 and 1992. But he struggled with a persistent ankle injury from his early 20s and had to retire at the age of just 30. "If I had the choice again with all the knowledge I have today, it's not worth it," he told BBC Radio 5 Live's Euro League's podcast. "All the pain I had, it was not worth it. My ankle created so many problems, it affected my day-to-day living. But at that time football was my whole life. "Now I am older, I have had a life without football. You can still have a good life - there is more than footbal...

The massive voter turnout in the 2020 election and the narrow margin in the vote brought into stark relief a deepening divide in the U.S. that has robbed the winner of a clear political mandate.

The massive voter turnout in the 2020 election and the narrow margin in the vote brought into stark relief a deepening divide in the U.S. that has robbed the winner of a clear political mandate. The dynamic is dashing voters’ dreams of a calm after the campaign storm and adding to the sense that the country is a powder keg. Nina Turner, a senior adviser to Sen. Bernard Sanders’ 2020 presidential campaign, said neither of the political parties received a clear edict from voters. “If Democrats had a mandate we would know who won by now,” Mrs. Turner told The Washington Times. “People who voted, by and large, voted mainly because they were anti-Trump and not necessary pro-the Democratic candidate or the Democratic agenda,” she said, expressing dismay in the Democratic candidate Joseph R. ...

Harry Kane scored his 200th Tottenham Hotspur goal in just his 300th game for the club in their Europa League clash at Ludogorets on Thursday evening. After suffering a shock 1-0 defeat against Antwerp last week, Jose Mourinho lived up to his promise to put out a ‘full power’ side and started Kane alongside Gareth Bale up front. The England captain, who scored his first goal for the club back in 2011 against Shamrock Rovers, had to wait nine years to complete his double century. Kane has joined the 200 club for Tottenham Hotspur It seemed as though it would not be the 27-year-old’s night in Bulgaria as he missed a sitter and then hit the post. However, he eventually found the net and headed home from a corner. Spurs were in complete control and doubled their lead just after the half h...
