Regulating safety and noise are not a buzzkill. They are essential in preventing corporations, like most regulation, from killing people.

Tesla's autopilot is the best example that the hurdles are not regulatory in nature, no matter what musk is trying to tell us.

As of now, these machines will kill people on the regular. Even in situations that a human could handle. And that's the bar we're setting and I'm glad we do so.

Edit: I know that people are killing people on the regular in situations that a machine could handle. And introducing this stuff as safety systems (like autonomous emergency breaking) is not hindered by regulation.
This might be unpopular opinion but catching people sharing CP images is like catching end users of drugs. Yes it's illegal but the real criminals are the ones producing drugs. But it's very difficult to get to them, so you just arrest end users.

Another side note is about near future when someone comes up with synthetic CP images, will they also be criminalised?

I was thinking the same; there are so many articles explaining the basics.

For me it would be more helpful to start off with a real-life scenario where the mentioned method can be applied and even might excel compared to other methods; bonus points if you also explain what properties of the method make it so very well-suited for the specific real-life scenario.

There are so many methods in data science / machine learning and from what I remember from my university days one of the difficult tasks was to know when to use which method, depending on the properties of your data and on what you want to achieve; additionally, sometimes you also need to optimize/improve the method's hyperparameters and that's almost a whole separate discipline by itself.

Nonetheless, the posted article contains a lot of valuable information for a beginner, so it's definitely a good start.

It is entirely possible for this paper to contain a "C" quality argument even though its conclusion turned out to be true-- The purpose of an academic paper is to present a convincing argument rather than simply making a true assertion.
im not going to engage beyond one comment because petty arguments arent tolerated here. ive never even heard of a person who thought all women are frauds. but that would be dogma. there are no large political camps in the US that do not harbor large and meaningful amounts of dogmatic thought.

Don’t let this dissuade you. It’s a common mode of speech and your usage is a perfect example of how it’s used. It’s okay to be sincere about uncertainty! It’s not okay for people to pressure against that. Uncertainty is how we learn and grow and address things.

Perhaps the guardian can point out scalable sustainable ways to create billions of car tyres per year, corrosion resistant plastics for underground pipes and sea cables, sustainable scalable replacements for the cosmetics industry, and then call this misinformation.

Until then it’s basically them spreading misinformation about what quality of life without fossils is like.

This is such a gray and difficult area this propaganda pretending to be journalism is ridiculous.
I'd love to see more examples of this, both with Heaven's Gate and other films. Some films have the right idea and filmed material, but were edited suboptimally. It's also informative to see how a director like Soderbergh approaches this; it seems commonly accepted in music, so why not film?
You are actually creating a false dichotomy here. There are more sides to this. And you are creating (as said a false) black and white image here.

I strongly believe that nobody wants to further victimize people by publicly showing images of their abuse.

And I believe very strongly that putting hundreds of millions of people under blanket general suspicion is a dangerous first step.

Imagine if every bank had to search all documents in safe deposit boxes to see if people had committed tax evasion (or stored other illegal things like blood diamonds obtained with child labor). That would be an equivalent in the physical world.

Now add to this, as discussed elsewhere here, that the database in question contains not only BIlder of victims, but also perfectly legal images. This can lead to people "winning" a house search because they have perfectly legal data stored in their cloud.

Furthermore, this means that a single country's understanding of the law is applied to a global user community. From a purely legal point of view, this is an interesting problem.

And yes: I would like to see effective measures to make the dissemination of such material more difficult. At the same time, however, I see it as difficult to use a tool for this purpose that is not subject to any control by the rule of law and cannot be checked if the worst comes to the worst.
It's only today I read a story suggesting that delivery bikes (electric) would be better for the environment and throughput than delivery vans:

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/aug/05/cargo-bikes-de...
The answer to a lot of these problems is to flip the script and have the drones homebase be the delivery location or a nearby substation rather than the van itself.

What are the factual errors here?

> promoting claims that natural gas is a green or low carbon fuel, even though research by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change says otherwise.

Context matters here. I have usually seen natural gas discussed in comparison to coal. And in that context, especially if you calculate point source emissions only, it is definitely true.

> continued use of oil as affordable, reliable and important to keep the US from relying on other countries for its energy supply.

Is any of this factually inaccurate? It is affordable on account of being the standard. It is reliable as we all use it without a second thought. And it is probably the energy source that is most reliably American at the current on account of rare earths.

There are still lots of areas where there are no real non oil and gas solutions, like steel making or tires.

I personally don't see oil and gas having much of a future long term, so I am by no means on their side, but if you want to fact check, you need to do it with a specific claim in context and the article gives no indication that this is what is going on.

Is it a once in a million issue? The collision rate matters. It could easily be much higher and then it wouldn’t matter that it was being used at Apple’s scale.
It's not just unpopular, it's also wrong: when you use drugs, you are almost entirely harming yourself (leaving aside funding all sorts of illegal activities, just focusing on the act itself). When you propagate CSAM material, you are causing psychological harm to the victims, plus can cause them to physically harm themselves or get harmed by others. So you are a criminal, harming a victim as well.

You can read about this directly from a victim via this NYT article: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/04/opinion/sunday/pornhub-ra...
But we don't have a global government, so the next best thing is for individual countries to pass such regulation, which would prevent products violating privacy like this from being offered and sold in those countries.

Think of GDPR, which is essentially each member of the EU saying in unison, "your product/service must comply with these data protection laws, or you can't legally do business with any of our citizens".

Come to think of it, I wonder if this Apple thing would even fly under GDPR?
So reporting about problems that don't have obvious solutions is misinformation?
The flaw in this argument is over focusing on edge cases. Having surprising edge cases is ok, making the 90% case easy is usually more important. Software is built on lies.
For non-food in cities there is no fundamental reason why drones should be any more efficient than ground-based delivery.

Flying takes in general more energy than driving and ground-based delivery is not more dangerous or much more expensive.
It was designed for touchscreens and desktops; a so called convergent interface. For example HUD, which allowed you to search any menu option (ref: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Unity/HUD#Overview), and its Dash, a desktop search utility, were clearly keyboard-oriented. The bigger icons that launcher and dash had were probably made that way for touchscreens.

> What? I have never heard anything like that at all. Rights are absolute.

1A text: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." [0]

So is the right to the freedom of speech absolute? Not according to the body authorized to definitively interpret the law, the Supreme Court, which ruled that laws abridging the freedom to defame people through speech or press are constitutional.

Thus the right to the freedom of speech has limits and is not absolute.

"In United States constitutional law, false statements of fact are statements of fact (as opposed to points of law) that are false. Such statements are not always protected by the First Amendment. This is usually due to laws against defamation, that is making statements that harm the reputation of another." [1]

They’re not pointing out problems. They’re saying pointing out the other side of difficult problems is misinformation.

At that point unless you can factually prove your accusations you are basically slandering.
A. Advertisers are customers. They pay for the privilege of being able to target users.

B. Users are ad targets. They do not pay for the privilege of being targeted. It's "free".

Obviously anyone falling into category A could have some legal claims against Facebook that those in category B could not. If Facebook wrongs those in category A, then advertisers can take action against Facebook. Whereas if Facebook wrongs those in category B, users cannot do much. At best, they can try to get someone else, e.g., a regulatory body, to act on their behalf. Maybe Facebbok pays a fine if some regulatory agency decides to act. Most times, nothing happens and Facebook pays nothing.

How would those in category A ever discover they were being wronged. Seems like Ad Observer-style data gathering might be one way.

Intrusive vs. not-intrusive isn't nearly sufficient to make that comparison. For example, in phkmalloc the switch to a separate index generally improved performance relative to the allocator being replaced: http://phk.freebsd.dk/pubs/malloc.pdf However, from that paper it seems that the previous allocator made some particularly bad choices that resulted in unnecessarily poor cache locality.

OpenBSD's allocator uses a separate index, as well as many more mitigations (many more than Slitter), and unfortunately OpenBSD's allocator ends up being substantially, even notoriously slower than most other allocators. But, again, this has little to do with using a separate index, except that using a separate index opens the door to many other potential mitigations. And where ever there's a choice between performance or mitigation, OpenBSD usually takes the latter (though sometimes they walk that back as usage and efficacy become more clear).
You can put check constraints into your schema to make sure no one puts strings in your integer columns (for example). If you have an ORM you likely can automatically make it generate check constraints for each column based on the declared properties.
The adverts probably don't contain any "facts" that can be easily disproved. Broad statements like "fossil gas can be green" are what you will find, but it's propaganda none the less.
The main problem is simply that people really really really don't like losing their data after they saved it to disk. A simple app that corrupts its in-memory state once a year is probably acceptable. A filesystem that corrupts its on-disk state once a year is pure garbage. You basically need to aim for zero bugs.

How hard this is, it depends on the filesystem. Something like FAT, for example, is pretty much designed for ease of implementation, with few edge cases. Modern filesystems are not like that at all, the data structures are very complicated, so they must be extremely well tested before they are good enough to use. That would probably require an fsck to check for subtle inconsistencies; in the case of APFS you can use mine, but it's still very incomplete. Apple's published fsck is not very thorough.

As an example of the kind of problems to expect, I recall a bug in the Linux HFS+ driver. If you had a drive with lots of short filenames and lots of long filenames, and you started deleting the short filenames, eventually you would lose half of your files. This kind of things happen because HFS+ has variable-length keys in the index nodes of its trees, so deleting a record may trigger a complicated cascade of node splits. APFS inherited this feature, and it was very annoying to implement.

But HFS+ is very well documented; APFS is not, and that doesn't help.

>$2.2k for standard edition. same harness as comma two.

I'm still on an EON from 2018 so I'll need the new harness, which makes it $2400 for the base model. Really hard to justify the price of a loaded Macbook until they have navigation integrated with lane change and highway exits.

I'm honestly glad that they went all in and finally did a custom piece of hardware, but I think they could have cut $500 on the price by using an LCD screen and sold way more units.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but...

isn't there kind of a huge difference, regarding climate change, with using fossil fuels for plastics, etc, and burning them for energy?

Like - plastics (particularly in the ocean) do present a massive issue, but they're dwarfed by the problem that is C02 and climate change?
Take a look at the rules this tool checks for and then consider that these are only a subset of rules a mature vulnerability checker would test for. Next to none of those conditions would be caught by "grep[ing] for unsafe".

I guess if you're not unionized and making $8 an hour minimum wage then a $20/hour union job might seem elite in comparison. But you don't even need to scratch the surface to see that no "elite", at least as it pertains to income, is a union member with the outlier exceptions of SAG members who get paid far above scale. So, roughly 0.0000009% of the unionized workforce. Everyone else in a union? Blue collar and mostly low level white collar workers.
That's not too far from how I first learned about ray tracing. When I was a kid, I discovered DKBTrace on a BBS somewhere. Then DKBTrace evolved into POV-Ray and I got into that too. I remember things like being annoyed to discover that no matter how strong I made the sun-like light outside my building, it still wouldn't light up the interior which was in shadow; I knew nothing about global illumination methods or path tracing back then. But Perlin noise clouds in the sky were pretty cool, even if they made my 286 crawl pixel by pixel.

Fast forward to today, and I've had the great fun of contributing a chapter (#31) to this book.

And speaking of GLSL, I've already done that for my portion of this book. I chose to write my code samples in GLSL so that I could demo them verbatim in a web browser with https://www.shadertoy.com/view/tlcBzN. (Note that speed-wise, the FPS counter in Shadertoy is a bit misleading. Each frame is actually accumulating 32 samples per pixel.)

Might be more of an allergy to unbridled hypocrisy than simply negative mentions of China.

Like hearing oil companies complain about the damage to the environment being wreaked by coal companies.

Or hearing Chinese state media complain about American human rights abuses (which is an example in this article cited by the BBC).
The population of the US (328 million) is roughly 55 times that of Denmark (5.8 million).

Facebook let's everybody push misinformation; just like Twitter and Reddit. At this point, it'd just be more useful to point out who's spreading misinformation, what that is, why it's misinformation, and what the up-to-date facts are.

That it's been spread on social media is a given and not at all surprising.
IMO, it should be advanceBy, if going backwards takes a negative interval. Shift by 10d isn't completely clear which on direction it would shift.
Substance abuse requires a lot of money because drugs are illegal. Therefore substance abusers tend to become financially disenfranchised, which limits their agency and social mobility.

Drugs are illegal because white supremacist hate- and war-mongers made them illegal to further their hate- and war-mongering.
