Had the same problem in France. It resolved shortly, in a few days, but the bank cancelled my credit card, without warning, on a Friday. I have one of the most common first name along with one of the most common last names. There are thousands of people with the same name as I. The guy who was on the no-banking-list was not the same age, wasn't born or lived in the same city, everything else was different.
I have both gas and induction. I don't think it makes sense to cook higher than 250C, because all oils will burn at that temp. And the induction works surprisingly well in this conditions, subjectively seems to be even better than gas (faster heating, better heat uniformity), did not expect that.

Xiaomi sells ones with particle detection for about 100. No reason not to get one, plug it in and just forget about it.
Thanks! You have the application correct, but there are many ways by which we use this. An example is if you have trying to build models that require sequentially annotated images(like action recognition). Another is creating many micro-models that each only detect one type of object even though your general model will have to detect multiple objects.

In general, the theory of what you are saying is correct that this method annotates data that is correlated with the original set, but practically it is still quite useful. Having more ground truth to work with gives a lot more practical flexibility with things like sampling, testing your model, randomization, and training more robust versions of your model.
The reason they do this is so that they can later monetize the dataset.

They've said the on-device scanning is done only when you are using iCloud Photos. So it's on-device scanning but only when you are deciding to share your photos with Apple... At least that's how it is for now.

https://www.macrumors.com/2021/08/05/apple-csam-detection-di...

"CSAM image scanning is not an optional feature and it happens automatically, but Apple has confirmed to MacRumors that it cannot detect known CSAM images if the iCloud Photos feature is turned off."
Why do you need the API key? Why not just do it like a traditional escrow service: you receive both the money and the item traded to a steam account you own. Then once both are received you send the money and you send a trade request giving the item to the receiver?

> Once a certain number of photos are detected, the photos in question will be sent to human reviewers within Apple, who determine that the photos are in fact part of the CSAM database. If confirmed by the human reviewer, those photos will be sent to NCMEC, and the user’s account disabled.

Chilling. Why have human reviewers, unless false positives are bound to happen (this is of 100% certainty with the aggregate amount of photos to be scanned)?

So, in effect, Apple has hired human reviewers to police your photos that an algorithm has flagged. Whether you knowingly consent to or not (through some fine print), you are being subjected to a search without probable cause.

This is not the future I was looking forward to.
The problem that the article doesn't address is that users don't actually seem to mind using terrible software so long as it solves the problem they face better than not using it. I could list literally hundreds of half-assed, broken, bloated applications that I've encountered in the past 25 years that have done very well simply because they kind of solve a problem a bit for the user.

Pushing out something completely broken that doesn't do what it's supposed to is definitely not going to work (duh!). Pushing out an app that solves the problem of managing shopping lists that has a bug where it doesn't work given a particular set of circumstances will still lead to many people using it if the users don't have any alternatives and it's better than using a piece of paper.

Software quality is important to companies because it means that they can spend more time building features instead of fighting fires, and because low quality represents a threat that a competitor could launch a better, less buggy app. Users mostly don't care so long as the app works well enough to do what they need it to do (but they're not dumb, they'll still pick the least buggy option if there are alternatives..).

A high level of quality in software is not important unless you're entering an already well-served market. I wish it was.

> PASS LAWS INSTEAD.

Do you suppose any government is going to pass laws which prohibits companies from scanning photos for CSAM either on-device or in the cloud? When half the time it's being done at the insistence of those self same governments?
The poster was mistaken for someone that was correctly sanctioned (at least in the legal sense). The risk she perceives with Apple is that they will falsely accuse people of crime.

These are completely different situations. Not to mention how infinitely unlikely it is that _several_ of your photos would be similar enough to known abusive material to be flagged.

>There aren’t enough people (nor PR capital) to look through all of your photos.

This is a nonsense sentence. They ARE going through all your photos, both in this effort, comparing hashes, and for classifying your photos with ML, a highly publicised feature. Both happen on device.

It seems that this is before uploading photos to iCloud or on send to iMessage. You can avoid both and still use an iPhone.

There are multiple features. This particular one is about client-side scanning before upload to Apple's iCloud Photo service, which is optional to use.

Presumably it is client side so that they can do anonymization/encryption of photos on the server, and treat any data access outside the account and account they have shared the photo with as an audited and cross-organizational event.

But if you want to use another hosted service, you can... and likely get their implementation of a similar system. Presumably this is US regulatory compliance.

Helsgaun's reports are pretty descriptive when it comes to LK algorithm.

But yes, I do agree that the original writing and the way the algorithm is taught in universities is a little bit cryptic and sometimes a completely different algorithm.

Simple explanation of the algorithm is:

1. 2-opt swap (A .. B -> .. -> C .. D ===> A .. C <- .. <- B .. D) - constant time compute of everything to check feasibility and new cost,

2. recursive 2-opt - now between C .. B with bounds (you can figure out which swaps are inferior and not recurse).

That's all there is to the algorithm. Helsgaun improves it a bunch (with preprocessing, deeper and more efficient k-opt moves, more efficient datastructures) but keeps the same idea.

There's another very flexible method called "ejection chains" started by Fred Glover and is very effective if you couple it with efficient data structures but also, very cryptic. It easily supports time windows, breaks, flexible work hours, flexible number of vehicles etc. Of course, the latest papers in "ejection chains" show no such thing :D

Sometimes you can stumble upon PhDs publishing their code and the tricks do not exist at all.

Just recently there's been a nice categorization of "timing problems" https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/net.21587

and there they try to categorize the time complexity of solving these problems and the tables are just not as up-to date with the industry. Some O(n log n) are O(n) or even better (depending on the local moves you do).

But it's a good start. A lot of these subproblems can be implemented really fast on a CPU and I guess the moment they are explicitly solved in a software library that's when the heuristics research will improve.

This comparison of images to known hashes is only for Apple's iCloud Photo feature, which is optional.

That said, many hosted providers/social networks have similar features - they just have server-side implementations and might not have felt the need for disclosure.
Most online banking sites in Germany require a phone nowadays, some even one that passes Google safety net for Android phones.
If it only was that easy. Social pressure to use certain services often trump personal preferences. Sure, I can change provider from X to Y, but unless I successfully convince my mother to do the same, I'll end up having both X and Y as my mom will still use X.

The problem is, from an European perspective, the US concept of "free speech". Allowing hate (e.g. swastika flags), a putsch attempt or outright lies ("Big Steal") to be shown and supported publicly and not acting against it is only emboldening those who spread this kind of content.

I won't deny that Germany has a problem with a tiny but vocal minority that denies vaccinations. But in the US, it's half the country that fell to the propaganda because no one nipped it in the bud while it was still possible!
>> Random noise due to lighting conditions that takes an innocent photo (or, more likely, an intimate photo of you or your partner) and makes the algorithm assume that it is similar to a restricted photo.

Majority of the cases were requests that HTTP/2 clearly specified as malformed but they were not treated as such. It's reasonable to expect there will be other such implementation vulns that won't stem from HTTP/1 historical baggage - that is just where the author was looking today. So I'm fine with the "HTTP/2 is worse in its own" presumption because it's harder to implement.

Then, the \r\n in headers can easily trip an application that was naively ported to http/2 supporting network library. That's too pretty ripe for blame shifting :)

>>I see all this bloated slow software everywhere that pauses all the time and it is hard not to see "I've never done memory management" as part of the cause.

There's no way your ordinary programmer would have done memory management better than the GC options available with something like the JVM.

Slow software is better than software that crashes often.
> A pandemic preparation and proper pre-warn system (as South korea and taiwan had it) would have cost absolutly nothing compared to the pandemic cost.

Fair enough.

The difficulty arises in context when a menu of risks exist, and resources to mitigate them are insufficient to address all of the risks sufficiently.

Choices occur, and consequences follow.

Another real case is how they will handle photos of my own naked kids, of which i have plenty of photos, because it's quite natural for my kids to be running around and playing naked. And i want to capture the moments, not the nudity. And also i have very close friends who are visiting us with they kids and for us it's ok to see each other children playing naked. We sometimes even share photos of nice moments with our kids, where kids sometimes happen to be naked. Is this already CP? Our kids are 3 and 5 years.
What confuses me is the requirement for this capability. The technology is only used on photos that are being uploaded to iCloud.

Apple can decrypt data on iCloud, so why not just do this offline? Doesn't make much sense.

It makes me think that the technology will be expanded to encompass all offline images at some point.

There's an expectation that what you upload on the cloud will get some scrutiny, being on somebody else machine.

But here they'll scan the local files on your own device, that you supposedly "own" (but not really, because Apple already locked it up to make sure you can only install stuff they have approved and taken a cut off)

With an M1 Mac or heck any soldered storage chip, you can't really be sure if data is swiped correctly. Whether on your own devices or on a second on device, before getting caught by stupid client side application with check for arbitrary documents.
It looks nice for beginners but personally I find that a simple docker-compose file per project that spins up a postgresql container works pretty nicely and is really easy to use. I just run `docker-compose up -d` and I have a database running. Docker containers also stay out of the way of the os and I can run the right versions for whichever project.

sam harris, bigot
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2013/apr/03/sam-ha...

people can listen to respect and adore all the things that hitler said - whether about his bigotry or his artistic vision.

i don't do that kind of stuff because it risks raising up the worst of humanity, and providing cover for unspeakable crimes, and it just grosses me out. i would defend hitler's right to _say_ all kinds of crazy horrific things, the same way i would for harris/maher/dawkins, defend their human rights, etc., but not take too much interest in them otherwise.

so my question about sam harris was do people believe he is _not_ a bigot, and that's why they think it's cool/ok/good/valuable to listen to his other stuff?

or do they completely separate the two -- like, 'yes, he is a bigot, and it's irrelevant to his take on liberals, which i agree with'?

people make both those arguments and others -- i was curious what people here thought.

the weird part to me is that, let's say for harris, i've never actually heard him saying anything that i considered to be interesting or smart or insightful or just anything useful at all.

and all these guys are so over the top with their bigotry. like Dawkins and the clock kid. :-D

how bleeped up do you have to be in the head?

with Maher you could say yeah he was funny and used to make fun of nazis until he started to resemble one himself.

Dawkins was a scientist who allegedly wrote some good books before he went nazi.

Anyone know how well these similarity neural nets deal with something as simple as, say, rotation? It would be trivial to generate 4 hashes for the 90° cardinal rotations (and, I guess 4 more for axis flips), but how about, for example, 11°?

It would really suck if everyone starts implementing this and there's such a simple way to circumvent it.
> Yes, it is weird that a broken protocol translator results in blame for the newer protocol.

From a look at the HTTP/2 spec. this protocol translation is an expected use case and explicitly results in several restrictions on the contents of HTTP/2 headers. So going by the HTTP/2 spec. at least some of those headers should have been rejected by a conformant front end and never made it into HTTP/1.
I struggle to define this use of 'arch'; i would say it applies to speech or writing which says something indirectly, in a clever or playful way. Wiktionary says "knowing, clever, mischievous", and has some quotations [1].

Shouldn't your experience make you believe more in the over-sterilization argument?

When you traveled you got into contact with allergens that your body hadn't encountered before. If you had been in contact with those allergens when growing up then perhaps you wouldn't have had an allergic reaction?

>I found that one accepted train of thought now is that people are prone to develop allergies at any age

If you've never had soy before then how could you know whether you have a soy allergy or not?

I'm not trying to convince you either way. Just some holes in the argument.

I'm allergic to grass pollen myself. I have no idea how that squares with the argument, because I certainly never shied away from grass in the summer. But it's a fairly weak allergy.
