FWIW the take-home project is somewhat involved (at the time that I applied, make a RESTful chat server without using any libraries except the standard library), and after spending a fair amount of a vacation working on and submitting it I never heard from them again. This was extra frustrating as I've long been a huge fan of the opportunity to submit a slightly more realistic work sample.

I can see that being open to criticism, sharing what one has and does, could be a good way to improve skills. But why is improvement the goal, not pride and appreciation? It doesn't really matter what I mean in the world, on some absolute scale, compared to how much joy I get out of the thing, no? At least as a proposition. Dialing down one's ego seems like a fine plan, but dialing down other people seems good too. Though I suppose no one likes to feel like they're in a rut.

To further agree: in 1990 Japan's GDP per capita was about 40K USD at a time while the US's was a "mere" 22k.

That 40k was a fake, not true in the sense japan was not actually 2x more productive than the US. Instead it was the product of a super massive bubble. It took over a decade for the US to "catch up". To be more honest: it was japan which needed time for reality to catch up to nominal values.

At this point in time the US is now well past Japan in GDP per capita, which frankly makes sense. The US is much more innovative, with creative destruction occurring everywhere.
I'm curious to what extent the demand for new child porn content is directly driven by its illegal nature.

Some proportion of existing content has been discovered, tagged, and hashed. The legally and technically savvy members of the audience would likely know this. In such an environment, "old standard" content would be seen as riskier to hold or exchange. A completely fresh, new abuse image is the least likely to trip any automated monitoring system.

I could also easily see warez-ratio style "you've got to share something new to get access to our content" patterns, to try to discourage law-enforcement infiltration of their groups and to ensure "if I go down, I take you with me" legal leverage.

Maybe its because I'm on mobile, but your link brings me to a faculty page and nothing there suggests Pythagoras wasn't a person.

I even went through the syllabus of the most closely related of their past lectures (a quick history of ancient mathematics and mathematical ideas) and I quickly realized that I don't even know which book to read to try find anything related to Pythagoras' existence.

Is there a specific piece of text I could read that would verify your claim?
Javelin is a bit of an outlier in the Olympics in that throws today are nowhere near the records, even after the changes discussed in the article. The winning throw this year was 87.58m, with only one other competitor managing even 86m. The world record, dating from 1996, is 98.48m, a full 10 meters and then some longer. Germany's Vetter, the one modern javelin thrower who has come within striking distance of that (96m), was off his game and couldn't even get over 85m.

So why are we so much worse than 25 years ago? The obvious explanation would doping.

There's no way they would have allowed 0-0-0-0-0-0 or "promote to opposite color piece" in a real game if GMs tried it in 1965. It's only ambiguous wording of the rules that was fixed in 1970, and not actually a capability of pieces.
I agree. NCMEC is the root cause. It's very much like the war on drugs. There are a lot of horrendous crimes out there and this level of overreach isn't deemed necessary for any of them.

Child sex abuse seems to have become the excuse to create these heavy handed policies to terminate accounts with no recourse by Google and scanning locally stored photos by Apple. Even receiving a cartoon depicting child sex abuse can get you in trouble.

Hopefully this will be a catalyst to reform the law.
>So these photos exist on Apple servers but what they're proposing, if I understand it correctly, is that that data will no longer be protected on their servers. That is, human review will be required in some cases. By definition that means the data can be decrypted. Of course it'll be by (or intended to be by) authorized individuals using a secured, audited system.

Apple has always had the decryption keys for encrypted photos stored in iCloud, so this isn't new. They never claimed that your photos were end-to-end encrypted. I'm not sure how this is a "backdoor" unless you think there's a risk of either something like AES getting broken or Apple storing the keys in a way that's insecure, both of which seem unlikely to me.

>Also, what controls exist on those who have to review the material? What if it's a nude photo of an adult celebrity? How confident are we that someone can't take a snap of that on their own phone and sell it or distribute it online? It doesn't have to be a celebrity either of course.

I'm equally interested in the review process. But while perceptual hash collisions are possible, it seems unlikely that multiple random nude photos on the same device would almost exactly match known CSAM content, which is the threshold for Apple reviewing the content.
> Why haven't I made my whitepaper about PhotoDNA public? In my view, who would it help? It would help bad guys avoid detection and it will help malcontents manufacture false-positives. The paper won't help NCMEC, ICACs, or related law enforcement. It won't help victims.

I have to respectfully disagree with that statement and the train of thought unfortunately. However, you should seek legal counsel before proceeding with anything related: the advice from a stranger on the web.

a) You are not in the possession of a mystical secret for some magical curve or lattice. The "bad guys" if they have enough incentive to reverse a compression algorithm (effectively what this is) they will easily do that, if the money is good enough.

b) If we followed the same mentality in the cryptography community we would still be using DES or have a broken AES. It is clear from your post that the area requires some serious boost from the community in terms of algorithms and implementations and architectural solutions. By hiding the laundry we are never going to advance.

Right now this area is not taken seriously enough as it should by the research community -- one of the reasons also being the huge privacy, and illegal search and seizure concerns and disregard of other areas of law most of my peers have. Material such as yours can help attract attention necessary to the problem and showcase how without the help of the community we end up with problematic and harmful measures such as what you imply.

c) I guess you have, but just in the slightest of cases: From what I have read so far and from the implications of the marketing material, I have to advise you to seek legal counsel if you come to the possession of this PhotoDNA material they promised or about your written work. [https://www.justice.gov/criminal-ceos/citizens-guide-us-fede...] Similarly for any trained ML model -- although here it is a disaster in progress still.

IMO AI is going to be like code autocomplete is today. A real animator will draw in keyframes and then the AI will try to interpolate correctly. The human then watches the interpolation and assesses the result. If anything looks off, they then go and draw in manual frames until the AI gets it right.

Then later we may see the AI assist in drawing the individual frames so the artist draws an image and uses the shading AI to attempt to shade the image. Again, with manual work to correct where it messes up.
"Cool sounding jobs are competitive"

Also! The problem with Animators is projects being canceled. Animation takes forever. A project getting cut a year in is normal. That takes a huge toll on you mentally. THEN, you have the art experience problem. Do your art skills scale with time? I bet not.

My perspective as a dual citizen French/American tech worker living in the US: the fact that there aren't digital Apple Wallet/smartphone covid passes is such a joke. Farcical levels of stupidity, something you'd read in an 'Idiot Hero' trope novel. It is such a failure to capitalize on the available technologies at our disposal as a global society.

Instead I have a piece of shit paper document from the CDC that isn't even a standard business/credit/debit card size (!) so it is already in tatters, with a grease stain (my dynamic life has failed me). Nowhere even asks for it, so enforcement is a failure in and of itself. The vaccine should be mandatory and there should be a sleek digital pass so I can not have one extra piece of paper to carry around because of inept structural decisions around how to implement a post-pandemic lifestyle. So stupid, I don't know how these social planners have jobs.

You know, I bought 1Password version 3 licence. There’s the support. Fast forward some time and the software started recommending that I uograde to version 4. After installing it, the software told me that it requires subscription from here on. It was almost impossible to roll back to version 3. I ended up switching to Unix pass.
> Were that to happen today, I would be sitting in a jail cell, looking at a lengthy prison sentence.

No you would not, I was ready to somewhat agree with you but this is just false and has nothing to do with what you were talking about before. The law does not say that naked photos of (your or anyone else's) kids are inherently illegal, they have to actually be sexual in nature. And while the line is certainly not all that clear cut, a simple picture like you're describing would never meet that line.

I mean let's be clear here, do you believe the law considers to much stuff to be CSAM, and if so why? How would you prefer we redefine it?
Yeah aware of this.

1) Still, I'm unable to audit this protocol which has a threshold I'm not allowed to know. It also always comes back to control over the "hash" DB. If you can add anything to it (as apple could), then the threshold part becomes more trivial.

2) My understanding was that they currently don't but perhaps I'm incorrect. I know for a fact that they give access to law enforcement if there's a subpoena however. Also, there is a difference in terms of building in local scanning functionality. When it's done on their server, they can only ever access what I have sent. Otherwise, the line is much fuzzier (even if the feature promises to only scan iCloud photos).
>I wouldn't expect them to ever implement that feature.

Most users will though. Apple music implements that feature and charges the same amount for subscriptions. So if spotify wants to stay competitive they need a team of developers to keep up with whatever Apple and Google are doing. It's not good enough to just say "oh well the app is feature complete so we won't be working on anything new"

Nothing is ever feature complete when you have competition.
I mostly agree, my comment was facetious. I don’t agree about not having children. Birth rates below replacement cause serious long-term economic and social problems.

Climate change represents a civilization-wide threat that we can only address through intense collective action, and even then it may be too late. Since we seem incapable of collective action with anything serious at stake there’s probably nothing any of us can do individually that will matter.
> So no, I'm not convinced the people at Apple working on this actually do it because they care.

I think this is the hardest part to steelman.

If you believe that Apple employees are doing this not because they care, then you need to explain the true motive you think they have, otherwise that would be assuming bad faith.

Apple has smart and reasonable people, they must have a reason that can be explained, beyond not caring.
The OneTab extension has done great things for my tab organization, might be of interest to you as well .
One commonality between mouse+keyboard and smartphone is that small movements mostly in fingers and wrists are all that's needed for input. Contrast with Xbox Kinect - hype then disappeared, Nintendo Wii - hype then disappeared, and now some VR input...in all of these systems many of the experiences are designed around large body movements that go against the ingrained human instinct to be lazy. See "gorilla arms".

AR/VR needs micro-gesture input. Logitech K830 keyboard is tracked in VR with Oculus Quest 2 which is a step in the right direction. FB acquired CTRL-Labs whose CTRL-kit allows for some elementary BCI and Valve is investing heavily in BCI, Gabe Newell can't stop talking about how excited he is about it. And I'm sure Google and MS are trying as well.

But AR will need low-effort input before it replaces smartphones (unless it focuses only on high read / low write use case as its killer apps). Hopefully Apple has an input system for its AR product that doesn't require gorilla arms. AR + smartphone where the smartphone touchscreen acts as a trackpad or controller would likely be a better system than any hand wave-y / hand tracking.

I think if people are interested in game dev, it’s probably a better idea to work as a contractor doing boring business apps for income and then do games as a side project.

If you get lucky with a game, perhaps can ditch the contractor job, but otherwise at least you’ll have a nice income. Perhaps can save money for an early retirement, after which you’ll have plenty of time to focus on game dev.

Also, if your game becomes a big in this situation, you get to reap all the benefits.

> Yes, the permanent world record is a little unfortunate.

Why? The longer you keep records, the less likely it is that you can exceed the previous record. Why would we expect javelin throws to get longer over time?
Now you got me thinking:

That maybe opened a new perspective to me, thinking of the a coaxial as an antenna shielded by the coat, instead of just a different way to have two conductors in one cable. I don't know if this difference means anything since the signals that travel though it are typically waves around 0.

This maybe interesting to someone: While I worked in the field with a radio technician I'm fairly certain I heard that the (or maybe just one?) way they make radio work in tunnels is by stretching a coaxial signal cable with small slits through it. That kind of fits very well with how I understood it above.

(While I have studied basic electronic engineering I'm not a radio technician myself so if this doesn't sound right, please correct or fill in. Also, according to the technician I worked with antennas are really interesting, at one point he pointed out that he had laughed at what later became his favourite antenna because his first thought was that it "obviously" could not work.)
This is exactly and precisely why I don't host with 1Password, I don't want to have the same profile as the big valuable target of everyone's else's setup. Having something custom is far better if only for the fact that you have to be targeted individually vs. as a big mass prize.

React and Vue.js are meant to build web apps, not websites
A common mistake I see more and more people do is to build websites using React and Vue.js.
These frameworks are meant to build web apps, they provide no advantage if you want to build a content website, worse they will kill all your SEO efforts.
Having done a lot of SEO research in the past year, I came to the conclusion that search engines heavily penalize React and Vue.js websites even when they use server side rendering and I think they do this rightfully.

If I am looking for some kind of information, I want to have it right away, with spending as little bandwidth as possible and certainly I don't want to start a web app with over 1mb of javascript.

To summarize:

- Where React or Vue.js are a good choice:
Web Apps that you don't want to be indexed by search engines. Such as SaaS tools or administration interfaces.

- Where you shouldn't use React or Vue.js:
Content websites with little dynamic functionalities that you want to be indexed on search engines.
On the flip side, for those who do want to listen to podcasts on Spotify, the experience is horrific. It's all so confusing and they are always trying to mix podcasts with music, almost treating them as same media. For a company that is spending millions on acquiring podcasts to their platform, I feel they really shoot themselves in the foot with such a non-intuitive UI. I used to be an occasional Joe Rogan listener, but ever since Spotify has acquired it I have ultimately stopped listening to it.
From TFA:
“ Also, javelins were increasingly landing flat, instead of poking upright into the turf, making distance-marking difficult, so in 1986 the International Association of Athletics Federations' technical committee authorized a new javelin design. The center of gravity was moved 1.6 inches forward, the tip was modified to make the javelin less aerodynamic, meaning it would nose down earlier and land sooner, reducing average flight distance by about 10 percent.”
I may not agree with EVERYthing but I love and identify with the ornery writing style.
