This isn't a completely technical problem, there's not going to be an air-tight technical solution.

I think, at this point, anything more than the camera having a secure device-generated key that it uses to sign its output and produce watermarks is overthinking it. That will add a nearly insurmountable barrier many classes of forgery, namely one were a forger claims to have a photo taken with your camera.

You also have to remember a significant class of photo-forgery would involve images that are claimed to originate from a camera the attacker controls. For instance, forged video of a robbery from a security camera. That could, in some cases, be defeated by observing that the images have authentication information they shouldn't have (such as traces of watermarks from other cameras).

At the end of the day, forgeries will be spotted by observing that they have subtle errors that don't add up. That's how it's always been done.
Free is a loaded term.
I'm not sure I agree with Steve that Google is 100% competitor focused. Yes, there are lots of fast-follows, but the fast-follows are innovative (such as Google Home), and the PM teams definitely focus more on user research than on competitive research. I mean, Google didn't exactly invent the Search Engine...

I do however believe that it is increasingly difficult at Google to enter new markets as an individual contributor. Nearly all new products require executive support before they can be meaningfully commenced. There are definitely increasingly strict controls on any public releases (even silent ones) centered around protecting the Google brand.

It kinda seems like Yegge was ready to move on and created post-hoc rationalization for it that was too broadly sweeping.

I also don't think the fetishization around innovation is really that useful. It's an ill-defined and abused buzzword.

Much more likely is that a Chinese manufacturer will rip off Qualcomm's IP for "EU market only" phones. EU phones can still use Qualcomm technology but without them ever seeing a dime for it until they pay their outstanding fines. This is of course the situation driven to the extreme and "not paying market regulator fines" is a line that probably only exists in the economics handbooks of freemen-of-the-land type loonies.

It's pretty insane when we live in a time where we are on the brink of a technology that could surpass electricity and we're still selectively acknowledging reality only when it conforms to our own biases.
Another honest question, do you think "keeping things to yourself" really means you affect only yourself?
Probably because there is no practical plan to reduce them to zero. There's much hand-wringing about future technologies, but the reality of it is that it will require drastic reduction in consumption.

One big glaring flaw IMO is that it is not really possible to just turn off certain checks as opposed to turning them all off. For instance, maybe I need to call an unsafe C api or something but could still use the borrow checker.

After conquering the difficult feat of integrating LTE and GPS into the Apple Watch 3, the question is what's next? I personally love the iwatch3 for its ability to allow you to stay connected even when disconnected. (ie take a business call in the middle of an outdoor jog without your phone)

Nevertheless, I'm still not sure if there's anything else they can do that will be as groundbreaking as the watch3 is. Obviously, Apple feels there is a lot of potential for the watch and health, however.
Great "credibility check". There should be a "nutriction facts table" for scientific papers quoted at articles. Sample size, preregistration, replication, p-value.

At least a practice to include that in the abstract
In Rust, the borrow checker is still enabled in unsafe blocks.
Canon had a cryptographic add-on module for image verification for their 1D series way back in the 2000s but it was cracked.

I don't know if they subsequently updated it ( was called OSK ) but the idea has been around for some time. It was considered important for submission of evidence and several news agencies also insisted on it.
> worry about what the world needs obsessively, and give it what it wants, not what you want to make.

This must be a joke. Especially the last bit—what's the damn point, otherwise?
Think of two libraries that use unsafe Rust and interact with the same hardware, but work correctly when used on their own.

A program written only in pure not-unsafe Rust might use these two libraries in a way that breaks because the assertions the programmers of the libaries had, like for example having exclusive access to the hardware, are wrong now.

One could argue the pure not-unsafe Rust program is wrong, not the libraries.

I think klodolph's comment is very thoughtful and shows a good deal of experience and domain knowledge.

Sure they can. See how quickly Intel, Samsung and Chinese manufacturers jump in to close the gap. Big manufacturers like Apple could also come up with ingenious constructions like licensing Qualcomm IP but making the chips themselves. It wouldn't be a Qualcomm product any more so it'd be clear for sale.
Interestingly, it seems that curcuminoids themselves also inhibit p450, with less specificity.

The system decides when and what to encrypt and decrypt on it's own, how is any of that related to the user?

If the software can't be trusted it's not encryption, it's pointless. If you are going to pick a trust anchor, choose something that isn't also doing wireless updates, running third party apps, has a colorful interface that can trivially trick you into doing unintentional things..
Why is it scary? Rejection from some hypothetical group that obviously doesn't share your values? Nobody wants to close doors, but that mindset closes the only worthwhile doors anyway. Not saying make a priority, but consider where that fear is coming from. No doubt you have programming that makes pain centers activate from your writing.

I think part of it is that this comes near the end of the book and a lot of it is referring to stuff that had previously been established, and part of it is that the style of writing that was en vogue a century ago is kind of hard to read today. I mean, here's a bit from the beginning of the contemporary classic Ulysses:

> Solemnly he came forward and mounted the round gunrest. He faced about and blessed gravely thrice the tower, the surrounding land and the awaking mountains. Then, catching sight of Stephen Dedalus, he bent towards him and made rapid crosses in the air, gurgling in his throat and shaking his head. Stephen Dedalus, displeased and sleepy, leaned his arms on the top of the staircase and looked coldly at the shaking gurgling face that blessed him, equine in its length, and at the light untonsured hair, grained and hued like pale oak.

It's pretty writing, but it is also pretty hard to read if you're used to the way people write nowadays.
Fantastic!

I thought more about your question (at least what I thought it was) and it wouldn't necessarily prevent redundant encoding but it would sort of restrict how 'damaging' such an encoding could be (if that makes sense).

This whole field is very new but very exciting and very troubling.

I'm reasonably secure in my feeling that centralisation isn't the problem.

As much as people far too freely giving up information about themselves online. Decentralisation can work as an anti-censorship measure but I wouldn't expect something I send out over Bittorrent (for example) to remain my personal private info.
A very famous and popular paper that's often cited when debating the simulation hypothesis. I'm squarely in the "not a simulation" camp for a few reasons.

1) Limits of computation. First, we need to find out whether or not the universe is computable. To me, it doesn't seem like it is[1] due to "funky" phenomena like quantum effects.

2) Consistency. It doesn't seem that a simulation ought to be as consistent as our universe appears to be. In fact, if there was a hyper-advanced society making simulations out there, the great majority of simulations would be failed attempts or bug-addled, inconsistent messes. So the probability of picking a random simulation that's perfect quickly approaches zero. And yet, we live in a staggeringly consistent universe.

3) Meta-cognition. If you're making a simulation, why even give sims the capability of understanding what it means to be simulated? Make this very thought akin to contemplating a "square circle" -- a logical impossibility. And yet, there's an entire corpus out there discussing this very hypothesis: from Descartes' Demon to the Wachowski's Matrix.

4) Moral responsibility. Living in a simulation relinquishes me (and everyone else) of moral responsibility. This is deeply troubling, although not a particularly good argument against us living in a simulation. What is a good argument is thinking about the hyper-advanced species that built this simulation: why would they create morally-sensitive beings in a world where morality is irrelevant? That wouldn't make for a very good simulation.

5) Personal experience. I feel like I'm living in the real world, why would I doubt that? Everyone else seems to feel the same way. This is the same argument found in the "Other Minds Hypothesis" -- where we basically give the benefit of the doubt.

We added zstd to largely supersede gzip use at work. It performs better than oldschool gzip in both compression and speed.

That said, I'm not sure I'd call it a "real-time" compression algorithm. It's still an factor of 2x slower than lz4 compress and a factor of 4x slower decompress.

We can keep going. Why would that be desirable? It hits the right chemical buttons in the brain. Drag it out far enough and we're really aiming at being blissed out brains in jars being fed shots of endorphins at the right intervals.
Well, not so far. Perhaps that will change.
I'm quite serious about the historical record. This is not FUD, this is data. The historical record shows that the last time atmospheric CO2 concentration was at the level we are at currently, several things were true. 1) temperatures were 4-5C higher. 2) there was no permanent surface ice anywhere on the planet as far as they can tell. 3) mean eustatic sea level was anywhere from 50 to 200m above current levels.

http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/2008PA001615/full

Keep in mind, it's not just melting you need to figure in, there's also the thermal expansion of water.

Also models do not currently project the Antarctic losing all of its ice, yet this is what the historical record suggests is likely. The models also do not account or undercount the contribution of non-anthropogenic forcing factors such as the one this article refers to -- they assume that _we_ are the main feedback loop, and yet there is evidence that we have entered a regime where we could reduce emissions to zero and the non-anthropogenic feedback would continue to add CO2 and methane to the atmosphere at a rate equal to or exceeding our current emissions.

I believe the main reason you aren't hearing things like this is because scientists are picking their most defensible claims because they know that they will be hounded by climate change deniers. They are not talking about their worst fears, for worry of being labeled FUD.

How do you quantify "skew due to differential enforcement"? The proposal is to posit some value for "skew due to differential enforcement", then massage the results to match the baseless bias.
Oddly enough, I benefitted from interviews early in my career - engineers probing for my knowledge boundaries would usually find some technical questions where my knowledge was weak, so I'd make a mental note to learn about that thing later.

Figuring out flaws in your development process can be harder, but it's worth asking for coworkers/manager for insight, they can often see what you don't even think about.

In terms of improving comfort and knowledge of new tech, I do personally projects and try to incorporate one new tool, language or framework every time.
> Average draw in the US is ~1200 watts.

Peak draw is more relevant, though, than average draw. My point was that in a hypothetical town with a single 50MW generator you cannot sustain 50k households, due to daily peak usage exceeding the average by a significant factor.

Yes, turkeys (wild or domestic) have spurs. Typically an inch or so in length, up to a bit more than two inches for the biggest, oldest birds. They also have interesting beards, which can be 10 inches long!

They'll bluster and charge to defend young against a curious city dog, but will flee up to roost if challenged by a pack of hunting dogs. If you find a cornered turkey, don't try to catch it or let your dog attack: you'll probably win from sheer mass and from having predatory weapons, but you will be badly bloodied.
On that note, I also realized the connotation of "Tinder": combustible material which ignites upon coming into contact with sparks. Sparks fly when people meet - that sort of thing. Very clever indeed.
"Lovecraftian" is still used as a general term for an entire genre of fiction. He was a xenophobe, but that is not what he's best known for. Similarly, Aristotle was a misogynist, but it would not be accurate to say that Aristotle is best known as a navel-gazing misogynist.
I don't know about velociraptors, but there probably is a Creodont species that was pushed to extinction by ancestors of dogs. I mean it is believed that Creodonts disappeared due to the concurrence of the Carnivora order.

The idea that more recent species are "more evolved" than ancient ones is not completely absurd.
Top of the food chain generally is more vulnerable to changes causing extinction, not less.

E.g. if food for small rodents becomes much less available, the expected result is that small rodent species dwindle in population but survive, while some of large predators that need those small rodents may go extinct.

Cockroaches and rats will outlast homo sapiens.
They very much are.
An `unsafe` block only enables extra features, it doesn't change existing behaviour of safe Rust. Specifically, it allows calling `unsafe` functions (FFI and pure Rust `unsafe` ones), dereferencing raw pointers and some minor other stuff (e.g., inline assembly, some manipulations of packed structs). The borrow checker still works on references, the trait system still enforces Send/Sync for concurrency, and the type system still requires things to have matching types.

It's definitely true that having a one dimensional `unsafe` might seem unnecessarily powerful in some cases (e.g. an particular unsafe block might just need to do some pointer offsetting and dereferencing, but no FFI), but it isn't a "you're on your own" hammer.
OK, I would expect that setup to perform really well (like just a couple % CPU use in activity monitory). If you have a chance, can you send a sample[1] to support at realartists.com? I'd love to see what's taking all that time.

Do note, this is only a punitive fine. The fine is limited to 4% of annual revenue (afaik), but it is a regulatory acknowledgement of wrongdoing. The fact that this fine is at the near maximum of the limit also cements the idea that this was a grave violation. This opens up the door to lawsuits from competitors, which can impose damages which are much, much greater, which in my knowledge aren't limited by revenue and can easily exceed all the money a company has ever made. This is the sort of stuff that can kill your business.

> imagine when it’s AI generated, photorealistic rape, snuff, child porn. Illegal or not, if it’s purely virtual law enforcement is going to focus on the subset of crimes which involve actual human victims.

In the US, all of that is already illegal. If you put yourself in a position where what you possess is indistinguishable from the real thing, the courts err on the side of the potential victim.

Law enforcement's priorities are not going to change; they don't distinguish between what's virtual or not. If it looks like CP, you can't point to a producer with valid 2257 documentation and it isn't obviously a cartoon, you're cooked.

Define "complete." I would say if you count the Foundation library - which ships with Swift - as part of the standard library, things are pretty darn complete.

Not as far as Swift itself is concerned. Ever since Swift went OSS, new releases land for Linux and macOS at the same time.
