Fair use is handled quite differently with media as opposed to software products, and derivative works can often be legal. Derivative works can be exempt from copyright if they "uses a source work in completely new or unexpected ways". Additionally, pornographic parodies of public figures has a long history dating back centuries at least - explicit depictions of Marie Antionette during the French Revolution are an example off the top of my head. In fact, when I Google "Fair Use Transformative" a face-swap of the Mona Lisa is one of the first results I get.[2] I am not confident that a video or GIF would be treated differently than a still image by the courts. Additionally, the "Supreme Court has indicated that offensiveness is not a fair use factor" [3] so there's a good chance that moral outrage over deepfakes is not likely to be enough to criminalize it.

That said, hosting sites invariably have clauses that state they can remove any content they don't like so this content is probably going to be relegated to 4chan and whatnot. As stated in the root comment, I'm fine with companies taking that prerogative. I dislike to notion of people faces - arguably their identities - being swapped onto objectionable or embarrassing content but at the same time I don't see it being banned given the current precedence.

> Is your particle moving with the reference frame? I believe so.

It is not moving with respect to the reference frame.

> Do you have motion when you are in a plane? Or do you say you are at rest because the passenger next to you is moving with you?

You are having a hard time understanding reference frames. You are at rest with respect to the plane. You are at rest with respect to the passenger beside you (assuming they're sitting still, relative to the plane). You are not at rest with respect to the ground below.

The whole point of relativity is that no inertial frame is in an absolute state of "motion" or "rest". The laws of physics are the same in all inertial frames, whether it be your plane or the earth itself.
All these reports have the feelings of small rumblings or rumors of purges and famines that leaked out of the Soviet Union in the 30’s. The dismissal of all of them due to China’s size and growth really strengthens the analogy too.

Privacy is important because basically we all are, at least once a day, committing some kind of crime. I mean the definition for loitering is so broad that alone gets most people.

The ad-tech companies of the world think they are criticized now, but they have no idea the judgment history will render for some of the attitudes and practices that have been promoted regarding data and privacy. Some of this stuff is as naive as Charles Lindbergh helping the Luftwaffe because he believed airplanes would connect all the peoples of the world and promote global peace. What is it with “connecting people” and really terrible ideas?

All totalitarian governments, not being very innovative, have thrived off of inventions that have been developed elsewhere and have been bearable, and then mutated into unrecognizable monsters under them.
Do you still have any of this stuff sitting around? Particularly the FPGA part.

If you do, I would love to see videos of this in action (not code). Would be absolutely awesome. Seriously! I don't care that it's from 2002, that's what makes me more interested if anything.

Also... people are Very Interested™ in neural networking now. I am 100.0% sure that if you threw this info at a few companies they wouldn't mind waiting a little while for you to shift gears (switch jobs) and catch up to the way things are done now (train, at expense, for a few months). You'd likely take a bit less time than the next person, in any case.

Yes, this would certainly be a major undertaking and not something to be rushed, but I don't think your interviewers would be disinterestedly waiting for whoever they're seeing next, to put it one way...

One thing. I'd recommend a position where you step back and look at the bigger picture rather than drown in implementational/technical details all day - you're clearly already figuring things out for yourself, so bogging yourself down with the ways others are doing everything would be noise you could do without.

Tom Scott made a good video talking about this tech: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCLaeBAkFAY
(Weird that the imperial unit is gallons, a measure of volume I thought)

It is volume. The density of mercury is 13.69 g/cm3 and thus 793E9 grams is 5.8E7 litres, or 1.5E7 gallons. "more than 15 million gallons" is correct.
You're recalling correctly, gallon is a measure of volume. I would assume they used density conversions just to make it into a "relatable" measure for US readers.

But there is no US-gram. The SI unit for mass is the kilogram, (for which "kilo" is shorthand), where kilo- and giga- are standard SI prefixes. Units and prefixes are designed to be mixed and matched, so gigagram is just as valid as kilogram, even if it's more rare.

Edit: thank you userbinator for the base unit correction. I've edited above to not be blatantly wrong.

And now have that work without depth data, increase the population size from one person to 1+ billion, apply to moving video, aim for high precision and high recall, keep it battery friendly as you distribute to all police, somehow get the classifier of 1B unique people onto all these embedded devices, keep it up to date as people age, etc....

Sorry for intruding reality onto your discussion? If you don't want to have a real discussion why are you here? How is Chinese abuses not on topic for this discussion?
The SI unit for mass is the gram, (not "kilo" which is just shorthand for kilogram, which is just commonly used because it's relatable)

The SI base unit for mass is actually the kilogram. It is memorable and notable for being the only base unit that already has a prefix.
This might be an outside perspective since I have yet to have my first professional job in software development, but it is absurd the chief executive officer would confront and interrogate you like that. At the very least, call me over to your office and let me know about the dress code. But then again, I can't think of a sound logical reason for not being able to dress formally to work. I would like to know if that is the culture of tech companies? If so, which ones? So I can steer away from them. Like, really? I'm in my early twenties, and I enjoy wearing slacks with a dress shirt tucked in and no tie, it makes me feel confident and good.

I say don't mind too much what people think about your clothing style, wear what makes you comfortable and good (and I suppose, "appropriate" to the dress code).

Good, technology like this is good. Worrying about potential misuse of this technology is misplaced worry. Our concern is better placed on forming governments that will use this technology for the common good (whatever that is determined to be) than on the availability of the technology itself.

It's not about the technology.

It's about the will of the government.

Think about all the horrendous evils rendered upon the citizenry of early nations and empires in the distant past. No advanced technology there. Just a twisted view of right and wrong.

What this tells us is that regardless of what technology is available, a good government will do good, and an evil government will do evil. That really goes for any entity. You name it.

> the only base unit that already has a prefix.

That is interesting. So is kg actually not designed to work with other prefixes? Is it supposed to be megakilogram vs gigagram? Or are you just supposed to convert to something else or always use scientific notation? Or am I right about gigagram being valid, but for the wrong reasons?

The essential problem with a quantum computer, as I understand is it, is that you can't actually read out the state you've created.

That's such an IBM design. IBM mechanical designers were used to designing systems with continuously running shafts and electromagnetic clutches, because that's how tabulating machines worked.

Early card readers were unreasonably complicated. Then came Documation.[1] They solved the problem of card feeding. There's a air jet system which spaces out the cards, and a vacuum picker which pulls the bottom card off the stack and feeds it into feed rollers. The card path is straight and simple, card picking is not highly sensitive to card thickness, and the machine is far simpler than the 1402. Documation soon owned the card reader business.

I can't help but feel like you're making a value judgement against certain individuals. That combined with looking over your comment history makes me feel like you're unsympathetic to individuals in situations that are less than ideal.

Some people have cancer and don't have health care. Some people have kids. Some people live in the Midwest have absolutely must have a car to get to work and have higher than average heating and cooling bills. Some people got arrested for having marijuana and now they have a hard time getting a job. Some people are supporting a parent who isn't self-sufficient. Some people are supporting a spouse who has substance abuse issues. Life happens to people.

Other countries have found a way for providing a high standard of living without a need to put the onus for saving onto the individual. I'm not saying this here to say it's the responsibility of the state to provide a comfortable retirement for individuals. But knowing that we could, in not some too unimaginable world provide a comfortable retirement and safety net for each individual, what are our reasons for not doing so? What is it in you that feels like the burden of life must be foisted upon individuals with lesser means or an inability to provide for themselves rather than a distributing that responsibility upon everyone?
Not really. They still require several days to shop/negotiate/sign, at least as far as I've seen. True, it's 'more liquid' than raw equity, but it's still slow as shit in an emergency.

When I opened up my first bank account, a checking account, a mail theft ring operating at my college stole the ATM card and drained the account. It took a couple of weeks before the bank refunded my account, but that's only because there was ATM footage of the fraudulent withdrawal. Under different circumstances it might have taken much longer to get the money back, if at all.

To this day I always keep a savings account with enough money to cover emergency short-term expenses, and to accumulate funds for large, non-deferrable expenses like property or income taxes that I couldn't easily put on a credit card. Importantly this account is not linked to my checking account for overdraft protection, nor permits ACH withdrawals.

I learned later in life that savvy banking customers (e.g. financial professionals) will create multiple, special purpose accounts with various withdrawal and deposit limits precisely to minimize the risk of fraud, mishaps, etc. But a simple unlinked savings account works well for most people.
Wouldn't they do something like take all wanteds from each local precinct, up to 10000 from each village, top 10000 from local township, top 10000 from local county, top 10000 from local prefecture, etc...?

The article mentions that the glasses are connected to a smartphone like device. That can handle the battery and computing, all you need on the glasses portion is the camera. You don't load all the data onto the device, you just ping back to a central database (that way you also get to track every location that someone shows up at). To keep things up to date you simply pull the latest images of the person from a commercial partner who will identify and photograph them much more frequently than the government.

>Banks are beginning to use facial recognition instead of cards at cash machines while the travel and leisure industry also sees opportunities — China Southern Airlines this year began doing away with boarding passes in favour of the scheme.

If your facial recognition data in the system is out of date you will eventually find it difficult to withdraw cash or travel. People will update it themselves.
I'll pitch in for Uniqlo for jeans, too. I picked up a pair overseas last year and they aren't showing a single bit of wear, despite a LOT of use. Compared to my Levis, which start showing wear in the crotch after a few months, they were totally worth the ~$35 I paid.
I think that's improbable. You have to keep in mind that the US zeitgeist and even the Scandinavian zeitgeist are radically different, and diverging rapidly. For instance there was a 7 part television series published on regular television in Norway called Hjernevask, which translates to Brainwash. [1] (English subs are provided). It was primarily about the absurdities within gender studies and associated social 'sciences.'

If that was published in America, you'd have 'progressive' lynch mobs lining up with torches and pitchforks. Seriously, watch that video and imagine the reaction if that series aired on e.g. NBC in the US. In Scandinavia it instead simply led to an increased discussion of the issues mentioned. One of the major institutes studied, the Nordic Gender Institute', was also defunded shortly after the series ran. The government maintains that it was simply a coincidence. [2]

Speaking critically of systems which are ostensibly about progressive values, and "denigrating others just because you don't like their type" are not the same thing.

First, faceid is a depth camera not a photo camera. It’s also quite high resolution.

> Privacy is important because basically we all are, at least once a day, committing some kind of crime.

I think that is the big issue we will see and have seen recently.

Surveillance tools are better than ever in history. Many times, laws were created as deterrents to some behavior, that maybe shouldn't be laws, because it wasn't easy to nab everyone doing it. Back then cops, judges and more weren't as locked into forced outcomes i.e. three strikes, mandatory minimums etc and there was more humanity in corrections at that level.

Now that we have surveillance at this level and going up, we need to remove the criminalization of certain things otherwise everyone will be locked up.

Moral laws or making illegal non-violent/no civil violations actions will not work in mass surveillance, only laws that are violent and infringe on civil rights of others should remain.

An example might be the criminalization of drugs or old laws on the books. If we had arrested everyone that used cannabis half the country at least would have a record.

With surveillance this high and going up, we MUST decriminalize and re-evaluate every law. The problem is our 'corrections' and law enforcement, is that both have turned predatory along with the advancements in technology that have been used to erode privacy.
