I agree that it requires political will and good governance. Bus lanes aren’t easy most places. However, I don’t think one should ever generalize about municipalities from examples set by San Francisco.
I think the inside of a downtown should only have one way streets and parking on the side, and have big centers with plaza like things.
Then you mostly drive on the outside until you’re parking.

I hate how the roads are in our downtowns ever since visiting Italy and seeing these huge plazas all over in the cities.

Yep, it definitely would not have been possible without that.
Ah sorry! That’s fair - I understand what you’re saying now. That said, I’d argue that this is a bit of people wanting their cake and to eat it too. They want a contradiction - to be close to everything (so they can walk places and be in the middle of the action), but also far away from it (so they have privacy and room). So - It’s true to say that people want density, but also true to say they don’t.

FWIW I don't gather that a lot of black people consume or respect BET how people may assume they do.

Please read this reddit thread, it highlights so many opportunities:

https://www.reddit.com/r/BlackPeopleTwitter/comments/aag6aj/...

My summary of weak spots mentioned:

- Not black-owned

- Very heavy on commercials

- Missing lots of quality content

- Generally inauthentic

- Not creating opportunities for HBCU students

- Could have more focus on news and original reporting

All that is to say that the BET brand isn't super strong in the black community, and a rethought, streaming-native service could definitely have an opportunity to outshine a BET+ type offering.
If you have learned to program by copy/pasting other people’s code, and fiddling around with it until it works, then you don’t know better. If you have learned to program by starting from nothing, and build what you need yourself bottom up, then you are in a much better position when it comes to making the right architectural decisions.

Unless you’re doing something like performance analysis, I think needing to peek into the definition of a function to understand a piece of code is a smell: it indicates that the function is only abbreviating and not providing an abstraction.
everyone became obsessed about the beating up thing the brave thing that I saw was never that that was just something she needed to do on the path to get there-- that was awesome because she showed how she's willing to do that to go against the hierarchy of her society. I don't care she beat up her own mother I'm not a monkey and I'm not reading it from a human point of view I'm reading it from a monkey point of view and so that's totally fine that she did that. What I'm saying is brave is that she took on how no women of the office how it's so rare and she became the alpha. what I find you funny is like the uniformity of the responses of people here...in response to this admittedly challenging idea I proposed. But the people are not dealing with the challenging idea on its face in fact they're deliberately misinterpreting it to find something which maybe more or less challenging for them but where they can cultivate I believe more outrage. even though you don't have to interpret it in this way people interpret the comment in the way where they can find the most outrageous thing and respond to it as if that's the truth. But it's not the truth it's only their interpretation which they're pretending to be the truth... almost so they can have something to be outraged about. it's quite a ridiculous interpretation but it makes sense from an ape brain point of view like you know you you see a situation where you want to see an exaggerate the conflict so you can rile yourself up and get ready for conflict. I think the greatest irony here is that in this comment thread everyone's saying oh you know humans are so much better than this and how could this guy say these comments--right?--they're actually all behaving in an ape brain way with his deliberate misinterpretation egging themselves on towards conflict. Haha, it's hilarious!
>We don't even mention the giant logical leap from finding someone possessing CP to automatically considering them a child molester, yet someone posessing ~~an action~~ a murder video is not considered a murderer.

That is because the consumption of child porn induces people to create it. The consumption of action movies does not induce people to murder anyone.
I’ve noticed that several times this is because the ticket writers might not really completely understand what they’re trying to say either.
How is this hacker news material? The article is poorly written too. It's just paraphrasing a Sun article at best.
I think the future of fires needs to be the following: send the 5000 men when it's only 1000 acres, not 400k acres. So detect fast and respond faster. Or heck 2 acres.

How will this catch anyone? Won’t the people (or definitely the very worst of them) who this feature is intended to catch just stop using iPhone now? So in the end, is the effort really worth it?
Well the final word would on that would have to come from me you couldn't decide that as you wouldn't know if I'm being ironic, cuz even if you see on my other comments each thing I say is an individual choice where I decide exactly what I'm trying to mean. Each thing I say expresses my own free will--and you're not privy to that and you don't know me--and there's no way you can actually know if I'm being ironic or not from seeing my other comments. but in this case yes I am not being ironic in the sense that you think I might be (the gestalt sentiment of the statement) but I am being ironic in another way but because our beliefs are so different most of the people here will probably not see my irony.
Someone had calculated that the urban sprawl king city of Houston was 40% parking space or something
Great Lakes area (Toronto etc.) supposed to benefit.
The discussion I thought we were having was about false positives and not adversarially induced false positives. For the former the random collisions have a probability of 1/(2^64).

To mitigate adversarial false positives one idea is to use the combination of a cryptographically strong hash along with a randomly selected perturbation of the file. Prior to hashing, perturb the file and submit both the hash and the selected perturbation to apple. Apple selects the DB based on the perturbation and proceeds with matching and thresholding.
Eh...I don't think of it as one in a trillion scans...but one in a trillion chance per image. I have something like 2000 pics. My wife, at least 5x that number. If we split the difference, and assume the average device has 5000 pics, that's already hitting false positives multiple times. Feel sorry for the first 5 to get their account banned on day 1 because their pic of an odd piece of toast was reported to the govt as cp.
I think OP is saying that it can become less straight-forward to apply judgement in some real-world situations (which is encapsulated in the old adage "the map is not the territory", which I guess I thought _was_ common language but we all love in our own bubbles, I suppose). Anyway, I believe the reason that is often cited for why child pornography is so bad is because it involves the coercion/exploitation of a human being that is unable to consent. I believe OPs position is that if this harm is removed, there would need to be some other grounds on which to prosecute someone. That is, some identifiable harm would need to be demonstrated.

There may be a reasonable counter to this argument but I would not say that OPs position is "bogus" on is face.
Thanks! I did not know this.
UUID are better than random for distributed ID generation, I though

Shill me your housing bag, whereabouts?
Agreed that there should be changes in regulation, but most of that is allowing a lot more construction.

Right now we allow neighbors, particularly wealthy and powerful neighborhoods with the most amenities and the most demand for housing, to stop new housing. This is the core problem.

Housing markets have never delivered for all of society, but right now by constraining them heavily, we are in the worst possible situation. I personally support a robust system of public housing, for all income levels that uses cross subsidy to expand the public housing system and provide for all income levels.

However, being more politically realistic, even allowing young professionals to pay laborers to build new housing, rather than forcing them to pay landlords and drive out lower income people, would be a big improvement over our current system. But even this small change seems politically intractable, unless we move zoning and permitting responsibility to the state level rather than city/county level. This is how Japan has made housing much more affordable, by not local power brokers and land owners act as rentiers.
California has recently acquired helicopters capable of doing night fire missions.[1] But jets seem to be too dangerous. From article: "Larry Groff of Windsor and another pilot, Lars Stratte of Redding, were killed when their CAL FIRE air tankers collided over a fire near Hopland in 2001."

Then, the only way you can convince yourself you’re not an evil person is by playing some Mental gymnastics.

Does benefiting from severe inequality imply amorality? I don't see any inherent contradiction between personal financial success and supporting policies intended to uplift the poor (similarly to how some uber-wealthy in America publicly advocate for more progressive taxation).
Only solution i see is a brand new city built from ground up with entirely new rules and welcoming people to that kind of life. Car free, autonomous pods, grids, public transit and small footprint. If it succeeds then others will have a model to emulate. I do not know what legal changes will be needed to make something like this happen. There is no reason other than safety where existing archaic town planning rules need to be implemented everywhere.
They’re scanning for it as it enters their system. It’s only scanned if it’s set to go to iCloud.
While the title might be hyperbolic, it's not clickbait. A clickbait title is one that misleads or leaves out information in order to trigger your curiosity and get you to click on something you otherwise have no interest in. "You WON'T BELIEVE what actor got cast in this movie!" is a clickbait title. "Why Disney World doesn't have mosquitoes" tells me the article is about Disney World's anti-mosquito measures, and that's what I got from reading it.

The big challenge is having both shared urban infrastructure and personal cars that aren’t a luxury. Cities should focus on keeping cars out of the center to the maximum extent possible.
Did you literally not see a former president effectively get silenced in the public sphere by 3 corporations?

How can you seriously believe that these corporations (who are not subject to the first amendment, and cannot be challenged in court) won't extend and abuse this technology to tackle "domestic extremism" but broadly covering political views?

Surprised this hasn't been a more widely reported problem, yet.
Apple also disallows you from installing things without going through them, so “choosing not to advertise and send” has a lot more significance than your wording implies.

It’s not like they have a curated App Store for apps they like; there’s literally no other way to add software to the device.

I think where there are cultural differences, it adds a layer of complexity that we don’t give enough attention to.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but nowhere in Apple's announcement do they mention "perceptual" hashing. I've searched through some of the PDFs they link as well, but those also don't seem to mention the word "perceptual". Can someone point out exactly where this is mentioned?
You're missing the other 'halves' of the problem. Insecurity is a business and it's not profitable for companies like NSO to make their "solutions" compatible with non-mainstream devices.
Turning off the hashing toggle, I ended up trying to draw some shapes.

For example is a box. Sort of fun.
Thanks for the statistics. To me, these numbers are significant.

Maybe Whole Foods or maybe some popular restaurants are better candidates for working on improving nutrition in public schools? Why don’t we let apple contribute where it thinks it can. Maybe with apple that number goes down from 10,000 to 2,000. Wouldn’t that be a celebrated outcome?
Purely on the topic of `errdefer`, I believe the equivalent in Go would be:

// must use named returns so you can observe the returned error
func yourfunc() (result thingtype, err error) {
thing := constructIt()

defer func(){
if err != nil {
thing.Close()
}
}()

// use thing to do a few things that could error
err = thing.setup()
if err != nil {
return nil, err
}
other, err := thing.other()
if err != nil {
return // naked returns are fine too
}
// etc

return
}

Which is...... technically possible, and not even all that bad (as much as I strongly dislike named returns, since I find them very error-prone), but the fact that I have not ever seen this done does sorta reveal how much friction there is. Instead, I usually see manual additions of err-cleanup to relevant branches, and I've seen that pattern fail repeatedly as well (especially when the code is modified much later by some other person).

The Zig equivalent seems like it would be roughly (I don't know Zig)

func yourfunc() thingtype {
thing := constructIt()
errdefer thing.Close()

// use thing to do a few things that could error
try thing.setup()
other = try thing.other()

return thing
}

which is quite a bit more palatable and future-mistake-resistant. A sizable chunk of that is due to `try` of course, but still.
What is your trackercontrol alternative called? What makes it better or worse?
China is just an example. In Australia, the law allows our executive department to order tech companies to build backdoors for the investigation of any crime punishable by more than 2 years imprisonment.

We actually had the anti terror department arrest a popular, left-leaning YouTube influencer for harassment while physically assaulting his mum (all on video).

That's something that is literally unprecedented in Hong Kong just 3 years ago.
Do you think thawed permafrost is usable as arable land with the snap of a finger? Furthermore one could wonder what else will thaw and give us some nasty surprises.

I didn't say anything about breaking E2E encryption. Anything a human in the middle can review in any event isn't E2E encrypted. Call it something else.

The issue is the hash algorithm is secret. The decryption threshold is secret. The database of forbidden content can't be audited. People claim it includes entirely legal images. And it's a small step from scanning local only files.
Thanks for the link. It seems like the text is focused on correcting errors across layers. I guess fundamentally there is no difference between the multi-model challenge of correcting errors across models and that of correcting errors across layers. This is dense, but I’m going to dive into the discussion around figure 14 as a starting point.

Thanks again.
There actually is a man involved: enough similarities and a human will review the photos. Every algorithm, especially perceptual hashing, will have false positives, and at Apple's scale, some people's private and intimate photos will be false positives and be exposed to a man looking at it.
In criminal law you must be aware of an item for it to be under your possession. If someone plants illegal content on your computer, and you are unaware, you aren't legally in possession.
I think it's nice to have two mechanisms for errors like in ML: sum types for errors that the calling function can realistically recover from, and exceptions for the rest.

Personally I'm still waiting for the promised technology that scans the area for mosquitoes (using computer vision) and then takes them out individually with a low power laser.

The main benefit of this seems to be controlling mosquito populations while not bluntly eradicating all bug life (as other traps do) much of which contributes to a healthy ecosystem.

I have sort of an affinity for the Argus C3 as the anti-Leica, as the best epitome of the American anti-elitist, everyman-ism.

Not too long ago easily, and today with judicious shopping, $100 could net you the camera and the 35mm, 50mm and 100mm lenses. With study and practice you could take good photos.

The Argus is nick-named the brick for good reason. The body is Bakelite, heavy and with sharp corners. The Leica is smooth, slender, sexy.

The Argus is the perfect camera for a beginner because it is crude but adequate. The Leica is a Veblen good, the Argus a workhorse; master it and you master photography.

Generally, yes. But this also depends on having the sensing in place to detect and respond to them quickly when they start in very remote locations.

I once had to return some headphones because the app that went with them simply wouldn't work.

Kind of awful when we're at a point where a pair of headphones requires a specialized app to use them.
Almost like Apple was the last holdout to not give up customers’ privacy, and eventually had to cave. So they came up with a sophisticated system to handle the scanning on-device, and only for data that’s already destined for their servers.
Speaking of real estate, does anyone have data on the impact of personal range on the ability of land owners to extract rent?

The feeling I get from sampling shopping experiences at various levels of density is that higher density means higher rent and higher prices.

Cars are enormously wasteful in a physics sense, but in an economic sense they do wonders to commoditize our complements, and I fear that getting rid of high-range infrastructure would take us out of the frying pan and into the fire.
I assume the third party doctrine makes it so that the 5th amendment doesn't apply here.
Perhaps it might have been too soon to do the study. Money for housing, food, Netflix, has to come from someplace, and if there is a foreclosure moratorium in place, it’s possible people are not paying their rent etc. At some point however the debt comes due, so maybe they should consider doing another study in about four months.

Starbase Factory Tour with Elon Musk
An interesting anecdote, but I've never understood why anyone would willingly drive a car (electric or otherwise) such a long distance. The longest I've ever driven in a single trip was a bit over 750 km, and I think I slept for 16 hours straight after I arrived. The next time I took that same trip, I rode the train instead.
This is basically what they've been saying all along, and the way my household has been treating it even though we all have full vaccinations. We still distance. We still mask. I'm not fond of all the confused messaging going around today.
