Psilocybin has a distinct spiritual phenomenology that not all hallucinogens have.

While there is a difference between a faith and a spiritual experience, they both work within a religious framing of life, which might be helping the individual with addictive behavior here.
It reminds me of people dying in, or waiting for, ambulances because protestors were blocking the streets, preventing their movement.

If you want a real eye opening experience (or just have a morbid curiosity) - sign up for Democratic/Republican donation lists via a throw away email address and read the material you get sent by PACs begging for donations. It's disgustingly manipulative what these organizations do.

YW, older LEED standards have really left a bad taste in a lot of people's mouths so to speak. We have a building at work that is LEED and it has some issues so it is LEED's fault. That kind of thing spreads and then those average people start to believe 'eco-friendly' buildings are useless and don't help the environment. I hope LEED developers focus more on the human aspect and the implications of biases when 'checking boxes'.
Definitely a myth in English speaking countries, that's the first time I read that :-o

What does it mean to be "89% close to" Agave when it comes to DNA? Are we talking genetic similarity, or estimated likelihood of a match?

Considering that a human's genetic similarity to a cat is 90% and even to a banana is about 60%, 89% doesn't sound like all that much.
"Now you can block people in Drive. To prevent people from sharing unwanted files with you, ..."

hahaha. What a coincidence, Google!

So you got a hold of the neural hashes, and then used an error function and descent to generate images that match a 'hash'?

It feels wrong to call them 'hashes' when they're so weak to pre-image attacks. They're not the same idea as cryptographic hashes at all.

Also want to underline how spooky it is that some of them do resemble human forms.
Is the hash database and the hashing algo public? Or how do you know these match?
Peridotites, in particular, with lots of olivine. Olivine weathers particularly quickly because its silicon atoms are in SiO4(4-) tetrahedra that are not covalently linked to each other (a "nesosilicate").

A problem with just spreading this out on beaches and the like is that these rocks are also often enriched in nickel vs. the average crustal rock, and this would release many millions of tonnes of nickel into the environment. There is some evidence that nickel release was part of the terrible events at the Permian-Triassic extinction. Nickel is crucial to the enzymes in the metabolic pathways leading to the production of methane in anaerobic environments. There's an idea that nickel injection into the oceans by fallout from the PT megaeruption in Siberia led to massive methane production.
Their numbers IIRC are only going up.

The population of 2012 Digg/Reddit has been diluted/aged out, and social media culture has drastically changed. Redditlike alternative == place to say N word after past decade.

Never underestimate the laziness and stupidity of casual Internet users, especially when they’re mostly teenagers.
The overall topic was discussed 5 days ago here:

I think that’s much harder to study whether or not it’s a “choice” because the scales of choice are extremely biased. For example if someone is dealing with deep trauma, addiction may be a way of preventing extremely distressing or suicidal behavior by numbing or overwhelming the agony. If the choice is “I’m going to kill myself tonight” and “I’m going to drink until I don’t feel anything anymore and will probably live to see tomorrow” then the choice is really stacked towards alcohol.
All of these myths I learned in school make me think it was an even bigger waste of time than I originally though.
Nothing, it's to avoid having the offending IP in plain text in the web page.
Honestly, if the sensor suddenly thinks you're drunk in the middle of a highway segment, there's something very wrong since long before.
Can confirm. I make my living on Patreon, but I am in the top 100 worldwide in the 'music' category (I write open source DSP plugins) and I make a bit over $2000 a month. It falls away very very rapidly: top ten worldwide is what people envision for 'making good money' and is competitive with say a career software developer in the 90s or 00s.

Top hundred worldwide is 'getting by pretty comfortably if you don't live anywhere significant, especially if you still qualify for food stamps or what have you', and it's competitive with what a career software developer will be making by 2030 or 2040 at the most.

Top thousand worldwide is already down to your $200 a month or so, and there are hundreds of thousands of people on these platforms. This is the nature of markets in an attention economy that scales worldwide: you're getting squeezed out by anybody anywhere, and if you're a niche (I'm a niche, but not alone in it: by now, there's another plugin dev who is pushing harder for money and making more than me, who is also Patreon-exclusive) then that limits the maximum size you can scale.

It's absolutely going to be the same on OnlyFans, Twitch, etc. As a job mostly this sort of thing is 'spend a bunch of money to operate at a competitive level, and then you don't earn anything to speak of'.

This IS free market dynamics in a state of maximum globalized low friction. Silicon Valley has spent a lot of time selling people on low friction interaction and discoverability. Tearing down the walls means you're competing with the girl with a perfect figure who's in New Delhi and has family money backing her (for whatever reason), and her competing with you means you work less.

When this seriously kicks in for the very software devs who've created this situation (and it may have been inevitable, let's not directly blame) and AI begins to compete with human workers at content creation and software development, the OnlyFans/Patreon/Twitch picture becomes the world, and at that point we've got some questions to ask about sustainability. A lot of these platforms are sustained by whales. I'd do substantially better (but would ruin my positioning) if I targeted whales.
Do you have any proof?

The database of 200_000 images used by Apple (and others?) is private, and I did not found any trace of the hashes (but I could made a mistake here).
So, how do you know that those correspond exactly (or with a certain threshold that has NOT been disclaimed by Apple) to the CSAM DB?

Also, NeuralHash has NOT been released by Apple yet (https://www.apple.com/child-safety/pdf/CSAM_Detection_Techni...), so...
Yes, they are running in the same sense that Xerox is a modern prosperous company and not a shadow of its former glory. It's beyond me how normal people push for centralized monopolies that can end you on a whim.

I have written a long-ish post but deleted it. I just wanna say this new left-capitalist doctrine really scares me. Communism all over again except instead of woke comrades at the Central committee censoring things we got young programmer thought police at trillion dollar companies cancelling you over usage of "blacklist", "master" or not respecting preferred pronouns in a git repo or email.

Don't worry, I'll check my privileges to become sufficiently woke and be a plus plus good warrior for justice.
Did you grow up obese though? I think the statistic suggests there is something to having the body grow under those conditions.

I was athletic growing up and I’ll always have that experience and know how it feels. Someone obese at 18 has no reference point and neither do any of their body systems.
I've never used modern apple products, but I have a question on how apple cloud works: is it possible that simply sending these in a messenger software to someone who uses apple cloud for automatic backups could get that person flagged as a child pornographist?
A lot like how Uber and Lyft do more to oppress and impoverish than raise wealth for client laborers.
You can address causes til you're blue in the face. We've already tried a dozen ways - state-run liquor stores, therapy programs, breath testing, prohibition and on and on.

It may be time for something different. Maybe just stop a car cold that's behaving erratically. Nobody has the right to endanger strangers on the highway, for any reason.

The right bill will be important. But its not idiotic, to try to save lives with technology. Nor is it far away from a workable solution.
As someone who has convicted of DUI twice in my youth, I'm 100% in support of keeping people off the road if they're drunk. The two times I got caught are just that: the times I was caught. I deserved many many more. We can't stop people from thinking it's okay to drive when they're drunk because they're drunk. Driving is not a right. Keep people like my younger self from making potentially deadly decision.
I can think of a dozen other reasons why this might not be a correct choice. No need to dismiss me out of hand with "they did the math". Of course the math is in their favor: they want to sell this.
No. There's a pretty big difference between “you are not allowed to do <thing that humans naturally do all the time>” and “you should be aware that <thing that humans naturally do all the time> is a potential source of error rather than a solid step in reasoning.”

Point out that something characterized in the former manner is, in fact, the latter is not “a nitpick”.

It's not a 10$ per year thing anymore though, for any reasonable domain it's at least 2k, because of squatters and bullshit.

Honestly, I don't think I agree with the solution as proposed, but IMO something does need to change, and this avenue could be refined.

EG pay a reasonable fee to have the domains parking status be looked appealed. At the very least, we could probably solve cases where I had ownership, let it lapse and someone re-registered for the purpose of extortion. Even if the fee was the same as the extortion price, at least the squatter makes nothing and has just wasted their time.

--
Another thought on expiration squatting specifically, is that there should be a grace period for the original owner to re register. Like 2 weeks. Enough that a site owner could notice the lapse, and get their site re-registered, without needing to compete with the automated bots.

--

Another avenue could be domain owner reputation. Where you need to have a reasonable reputation to buy a recently expired domain. A bigger company could co sign for you for a fee, but they would be risking their own reputation.

--

I think there are probably a lot of other, better ideas, and we should all persue them. If only there were the political will power to make it happen. There is probably already to many entrenched stakeholders to ever get real change.

Maybe there should just be a DNS 2.0, the whole system is rethought from the ground up.

Sounds like a potential Blockchain startup idea. I guess I'm about to spend the next week researching, and or writing a white paper.
Ease of deployment. Deploying a client-side JavaScript application remains far, far easier and less expensive than anything that runs server-side (or native compiled) code.

Also privacy: running OCR in someone's browser rather than sending the images back to the server keeps them fully in control of the data they are working with.
I don't know the specifics of that camera/its software, but the trained models are saved as TorchScript (https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/jit.html) which can be used very flexibly in python/C++.

Did you try it with Apple, though? Or did anyone else?
As someone in academia… no. But I can’t speak for everyone and I am sure it varies by field.
Indeed the wording is vague, and the response to a positive sensor detection is not specified at all. So maybe it’s premature to worry too much about the amount of damage it might do, since we don’t even know what it will do, and it hasn’t passed yet?

Do you think the goal is worth pursuing? Imagine we could achieve zero false positives, would you be in favor of it then? Would it depend on what the system does with a positive detection? If we could have perfect detection of drink driving, should we? Or, said another way, should it be anyone’s right to choose whether they drive drunk?

It’s worth remembering that it was argued that mandatory seatbelts were also terrible overreach, as well as other mandatory safety measures like airbags, child seats, mandatory motorcycle helmets, etc, despite the fact that the safety results are unequivocally positive. It seems like in the US we tend to have a problem with things that are mandatory, regardless of the benefits or outcomes.
> S-notation for turntablism (DJing) represents pitch. But I couldn't quickly find any XML schemas for S-notation.

As a lisp hacker and musician, I quickly got confused what you meant and first read "S-expressions"(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S-expression).

For others (as HN has quite a few people with the same profile as me), S-notation here refers to "transcription method which uses an own repertoire of notational symbols to describe the techniques of a turntablist", see http://www.alexandersonnenfeld.com/fileadmin/user_upload/S-N...
> At this point I'm irrationally bothered by the fact that it's a 100+ staff company just to make a product that's no better than it was when they had 10 staff and is now more expensive.

Supporting more customers and larger scale is inherently more expensive, but I still don’t understand how the product feels like it peaked about 5 years ago and has been treading water ever since.

I don’t mind paying $50 or even $100 for a good password manager that I could rely on for several years. However, it feels like these moves toward subscription software are aimed at extracting $300 or more from me for the same time period, all while failing to provide a decently updated experience.

I do routinely pay $150/year or more for other software packages like JetBrains IDEs, but those are constantly updated. With 1Password it feels like the move to subscription was a step backwards in features with a huge step up in long term price. No thanks.
There's a big difference though between minor ongoing consumption of their services versus choosing to work for these companies.
The DMCA is treated as a joke by these companies. I helped a friend, who was being doxed on a domain comprised of his full legal name, where they were using photographs and other content that belonged to him, file a DMCA takedown request with Digital Ocean. They did absolutely nothing about it, other than sending a notification to the perpetrator that a complaint had been filed.

These laws, like DMCA and the CDA, really need to be modified to impose more legal liability on service providers over situations like this. I know that many people on HN frown upon this view, but the gaping holes in these laws are enabling digital terrorism, extortion/blackmail, stalking, harassment, and copyright violations with no recourse for the victims.
Based on your spelling of “generalisation” I take it you are from the UK. I am speaking of my knowledge of the US grocery business. There may be differences. I fully admit to having essentially zero knowledge of the grocery business landscape in Europe.

Independent grocers certainly do exist here, but it is increasingly rare and, in my experience, it is almost always a long running business that, yes, is trying very hard and have either a market that is too small for a chain to move into or, as I said in my previous comment, a specific niche. Typically this niche is the very high end or a specific ethnic cuisine such as Korean, Mexican, or Italian where you can find ingredients and brands you just can’t find in a chain store. Though these stores are typically very small and are closer to general stores in some cases. A good deli or grill is another good differentiator for some grocers. I have yet to see a fully independent one store grocer compete head to head with a chain grocery store. I just don’t think the economies of scale are there to allow it. There are smaller regional chains that are able to compete with the national grocers, but they get bought up eventually by chains to eliminate competition in a region.
The lack of transparency and discoverability on OF is a pain for both subscribers and creators. And the creators do work really hard.

My ex-sugar gf is an OF creator. I was with her when she started (transitioned from MyFreeCams where I met her, and brought some of her members with her). She worked her ass off to claw her way to the top 3% which is where she was when I broke things off with her. She spent way, way more time on social media, promoting herself and her brand, than she did actually making content. There are groups of creators that promote each other's social media & content on twitter and ig, and its critical to get hooked into one of those groups to succeed if you're not already a major IG or Twitter star with millions of followers.

Even at 3%, she was not making a huge amount of $$. I wish OF had more transparency around how the percentages relate to actual income..
I think the 1-click donations should also be banned. I recall getting a solicitation from one of the two major parties with a “click here to support Foo” button in the email.

Fine print at the bottom revealed that if you had a payment method on file that click would, without further action, donate some set amount to candidate Foo. (I don’t recall the details of the amount.)

I’m fine with fundraising, but “click here to support” I expect to land me on a web page where I could read more and make a fully informed decision to donate, not to take money out of my account from the email click.
Better yet, if you absolutely want to force someone to abandon their email you can sign them up with donations. Political campaigners are the best harassment money can buy.
Yes you are. In another comment, you called:

> “Matt Taibbi is a hack and has no credibility.
He used to be a left/anti-corporate/anti-power crusader and was attacked by the right. Then it became more profitable to put out trash like this”

Is that “finding truth and answers” as you claim to want to do? And as hominem attacks on my username really?? This clearly shows you are a partisan actor who enjoys calling everyone who opposes your view point “a hack and no credibility”. No better than the modern “everyone who disagrees with me is a ____” meme. And this makes it even more ironic that you claim to call me “wanting to argue”.

Won’t be responding further as this is clearly a pointless thread.
> Dont upload these harmless images to iCloud as Apple will assume its Child Porn (CSAM)

This is not true. They may match the hash, but the will not match the visual derivative.

The mentioned Miami Herald editorial: https://www.miamiherald.com/opinion/editorials/article252979...

As typical of propaganda, the Global Times article try to confuse the MH editorial talking about the current state of affairs with the fact that Florida authorities were not forthcoming with the numbers during the early outbreak, and again trying to confuse the definitions of "early" between the early months of 2020 and before November 2019.

> According to the local Palm Beach Post, the data showed that the 171 patients had experienced symptoms in January and February of 2020, long before the state first reported COVID-19 patients in March.

"Whoah, they deleted data from January and February, this must mean the virus came from the US!". Fuck off!
That doesn’t really solve the problem. Those shell tokens are still getting parsed and interpreted as special tokens only you’re now doing it in your host application rather than the Borne shell. And as you’ve pointed out, reimplementing shell syntax is non-trivial and highly error prone.

Plus if you’re going to those lengths then you’re better off embedding a Lua/Python/Perl/whatever interpreter in your application.
I’m a moderator. Very likely you’re wrong. Anything systematic like that is probably generated by a system where someone wrote a script of common phrases and handed it off to low wage labour to write.

Highly doubt any actual creator is doing that. The payoff of untargeted spam is so low! Only makes sense if it’s outsourced at scale like any garden variety spam ring.

The usual and profitable way people promote their onlyfans on reddit is by posting pictures and videos.
My understanding is that this is the whole point and one of the main reasons people get so upset about it.
You would be one of the whales. Also, depending on what you do for that hour, as an entrepreneur you might be drastically underestimating the time and attention commitment you make.
America has an abysmal annual death rate for automobiles (per one million citizens) compared to the Nordic countries (104 vs 27 in 2013). US is one of the worst in the developed world.

Clearly, something is being done correctly everywhere else.
>If I had to offer an alternative, SAMHSA, the government org focused on substance abuse seems to be under-funded and highlights numerous ways additional dollars can save lives.

>So rather than scrape the bottom of barrel on making cars safer, perhaps we can instead spend that money on substance abuse interventions with youth and college age students that lead to alcoholism, binge drinking, and drunk driving. Maybe we would get more bang for our buck.

Keep in mind though, it isn't tax money that's going to fund this, it's consumers, who will pay in the form of increased car prices. This means disenfranchising poorer people from being able to afford to own cars and/or reducing other features, such as increased passenger safety and fuel efficiency.
No, because they won’t actually match. The poster is just wrong.
Can we get ISO to make all papers free next...? You know since moat industries need to abide by their standards but they refuse to freely make available these standards...
That's why real time networking and perfect privacy are inherently incompatible.

There was a proof of concept tor like network posted here that did away with the real time aspect and wasted quite a lot of bandwidth to conceal your true target connection but that seemed like a good solution.

Unfortunately I can't remember it's name.
The problem with Apple’s approach to CSAM is that they use Neuralhash. Unlike other simple perceptual hashes, the failure modes and the collisions using this method are not well understood. I repeat here my previous comment in another thread : they use NN and triplet embedding loss, the exact same techniques used by neural networks for face recognition, so maybe the same shortcomings would apply here. For example a team of researchers found a 'Master Faces' that can bypass over 40% of Facial ID. Now suppose that you have such an image in your photo library, it would generate a ton of false positives and not just a single match with the NCMEC database.
Inefficient when compared to what alternative though? To actually get anything perfect would require an infinite amount of time, so any requirements are a balancing act.
Yeah, seems like anyone clicking through is playing with fire. If the description is correct, posting the link is highly irresponsible. (It seems like the right thing to do would be to serve the content from a server the OP controls themselves.)
