US immigration system is fundamentally broken. You'll be asked no question about your source of income if you buy property in excess of half a million dollars- you'll get expedited green card service instead. People with black money all over the world make use of such loopholes- and guess what- they continue to screw US once they are here.

Meanwhile you have hundreds of thousands of hard-working individuals with clean tax records and no criminal history in immigration limbo for 10-20 years- many of whom never get back any of the SS or medicare tax they contribute.
I'm also a dingus and I am sometimes forced to clone private repos to new machines which doesn't have my keys. I know that ssh-agent is a thing which is sometimes set up but I still don't really know how it works, and sometimes it doesn't work at all with weird proxy servers and whatnot.

I wish there was some way of _manually_ identifying via a simple link or QR code or whatever.

Does reason (1) mean that we should disincentivize CSAM production by funding a large, free, publicly accessible and searchable database of CSAM images, to make current CSAM producers unable to compete with free? If we believe the RIAA and MPAA, anyway.

(2) and (3) can be handled by enforcing a delay of, say, 15 years between CSAM being produced and it entering the database (and censoring any identifying information, of course), and by giving people the choice to opt out before their pictures are added.
I hate ubuntu from the bottom of my heart, for breaking stuff and changing stuff that used to "just work" all the time, but 99.999% of the time, that means "background stuff", "normal users" never mess around with, and for normal users, a "usb key -> install -> next, next, next -> finish -> reboot" just works.
Also if you remotely think the scanning is going to stop at CSAM I have a bridge in brooklyn to sell you. Copyrighted material, national security, thought crime, are already inside this trojan horse waiting to jump out.
How do new hashes get added to this database? How do we know that all the hashes are of CSAM? Who is validating it and is there an audit trail? Or can bad actors inject their own hashes into the database and make innocent people get reported as pedophiles?
At least the price reflect it ?

Depends on what Need of yours you are trying to meet through participating. That answer can be very very different from person to person.

Some people want to belong to a group. Some need the group to get something done. Some want to control how a group thinks etc etc.
And the path you take will be different in each case. So think about what need of yours you are trying to meet.

In general they will pay attention to you if you show you have some value to them. Simplest way is to just show them you are paying attention to their views. Reflect it back. "so what you saying is...". Do it in a genuine non judgemental way. If its a formal meetings send out email summarizing the discussion acknowledging all sides and issues.
"the top 20 most upvoted comments in the subreddit within the last year, with the user having more than X posts per year in the subreddit, Y karma per post and more than 1000 characters per post, are invited to become moderators"

It's most likely a demand by China so that they can create an infrastructure to locate political dissidents. Oh look, a Winnie the Pooh Xi meme ended up in your gallery/inbox. Why is there a knock at the door? I'm pretty sure thats the real reason.
That would seem to back up the theory that they plan to roll out E2EE and are adding on-device scanning first to enable that.
Technically it's not apple searching, it's your phone searching itself. Sadly, they'll probably put it somewhere on page 89 of their ToS.

I thought so. The main issue with regular CQT is latency on low frequencies due to the excessive window required. It makes it unsuitable for real- time applications, as you know. Thanks for the insights

Not so incredible I guess. I was 20 in '91 so can relate.

Computers and the internet were seriously exciting at the time, uncommercialized and pure hacker culture of exploration. We were building technology because it was exciting. The concept of building adware or spyware didn't exist. Today a startup going to "make the world a better place" is a sitcom joke, back then it was truly the feeling.
All I can find by searching is that this episode was the only one to include live action (IMDb trivia, for example: https://m.imdb.com/title/tt9788514/trivia/?ref_=tt_trv_trv) -- what makes you think it's cgi?
There are numerous incorrect statements in your comment.

First: Apple has disclosed who gets to curate the hash list. The answer is NCMEC and other child safety organizations. https://twitter.com/AlexMartin/status/1424703642913935374/ph...

Apple states point-blank that they will refuse any demands to add non-CSAM content to the lists.

Second: Why can't the FBI / CCCP inject a hash into the list. Here's a tweet thread gamifying that scenario: https://twitter.com/pwnallthethings/status/14248736290037022...

The short answer is that at some point an Apple employee must visually review the flagged photo, and confirm that it does represent CSAM content. If it does not, then Apple is under no legal obligation to report it.

Third: You claim that abusers will simply opt not to use iPhones to distribute their CSAM content rendering the feature useless. This is in fact not how things have played out on other platforms like Google and Facebook that do already scan for CSAM. These organizations report on the order of millions of flagged images per year. [1] Clearly the abusers have simply not moved on to a different platform.

Seems like the reveal was at the end of the 2021 keynote: https://youtu.be/eAn_oiZwUXA?t=6470

But he was in the kitchen at the beginning of the 2020 keynote: https://youtu.be/bOf2S7OzFEg?list=PLZHnYvH1qtOZ2BSwG4CHmKSVH...

You can spot straight away that he looks like he's in a Zoom meeting with a fake background, he has a green halo behind his hair, and after he says "Our first kitchen keynote." he moves his shoulders and you can see the background behind his shoulders move. (Edit: what the hell, the moving background is visible in the 1080p version, but not really in the 2160p one! So I guess that's YouTube's compressor's fault.)

Since they already built a very detailed model of his kitchen, it would've been more interesting if they had a multi camera setup, or even a camera that moves around, like in the BBC studio https://www.bbc.com/sport/av/olympics/58113457

And the "deepfaked" Jensen seems to me is also very easy to spot...

Or... was he in his real kitchen in 2020, and I'm just seeing things? At the start of his talk in 2021 the kitchen is very out of focus and blurred.

Totally agree on this. So many coding (or even data science) courses start with Git which is just not that important for a newbie.
There's essentially three separate moving pieces here.

At the bottom layer you have the unwind API. This is actually generally defined by the platform-specific ABI, although the definition here on most Unixes is "we have a .eh_frame section that's basically the same as .debug_frame in DWARF." The API is provided by some platform library (libunwind), and it's language-agnostic.

Part of the generic unwind structure is that each stack frame has a personality function and a Language-Specific Data Area, and the unwind semantics will call the personality function to figure out whether to drop off into the stack frame, and where in the function to drop off, or continue unwinding the stack. The personality function itself uses the LSDA to figure out what to do. The personality function lives in the language standard library (e.g., libstdc++), and the LSDA format is of course entirely undocumented (i.e., read Ian Lance Taylor's blog posts as the best documentation that exists).

The final level of the ABI is how you actually represent the exceptions themselves. This is provided by the Itanium ABI and describes the names of the functions needed to effect exception handling (e.g., __cxa_begin_catch), the structure layouts involved, and even some nominal data on how to handle foreign exceptions which don't really exist.

And that's not entirely true for all systems. ARM notably uses a different ABI exception handling, which is rather close to the standard Itanium exception handling except the details are different. Some operating systems choose to forgo unwinding-based exceptions in lieu of setjmp/longjmp as the standard ABI, which of course requires different versions of everything. And Windows has an entirely different form of exception handling which isn't centered around unwinding but actually calling exception handlers as new functions on the stack, requiring frame links to the original-would-be-unwound-to function.

The source article states that the side effects at issue are:

"Erythema multiforme, a form of allergic skin reaction; glomerulonephritis or kidney inflammation; and nephrotic syndrome, a renal disorder characterised by heavy urinary protein losses, are being studied by the safety committee of the European Medicines Agency (EMA), according to the regulator."

I'm not a nephrologist, nor am I conversant in kidney disorders so I don't know off the top of my head how serious this might be. Hopefully not too serious.
So now I can't use git client on github repos anymore without carrying a device that has some impossible to memorize key or token on it?

I hate it. I don't care much for the slight chance that someone gets into my github account. I care a lot more that now I have to jump hoops to get into my account myself. There's more to things than security.

> I dont get the whole "Trump supporters who don’t want to take the vaccine." Thing. Trump is and always was very vocal pro vaccine.

And yet, vaccine hesistancy and being a Trump voter are nevertheless tied to each other, all year. [0] And the partisan divide has grown over time. [1]

> So for whatever reason someone may not want the vaccine its surely has nothing to do with Trump.

It may not have a lot to do with Trump directly, and more to do with that attachment to a particular partisan media bubble, which also is the same one associated with voting for Trump. But there us a real and strong relationship, even if it isn’t simple, direct “Support for Trump leads to vaccine hesitancy” (which I’ve never seen claimed, anyway.)

As it should be sparked! Apple is asking its engineers to create spyware and deploy it on millions of devices. "Concern" is majorly understating my feelings right now.
There is no requirement right now, but you only need to look at what's happening in the US, UK, and EU to see the battle setting up around E2EE. Apple may see this feature as a way to quiet critics of E2EE. Hard to know if it will be enough.

But, I think it's safe to say if Apple did turn on E2EE w/o any provision for things like CSAM, it would help drive legislation that is likely more heavy handed.
The article claims that photoDNA is reversible to 26x26 images and claims that the hashes are therefore CP.
How is Apple's CSAM implementation not a violation of the fourth amendment?
It's an attestation, so it's a snapshot of what documents supplied by the company said.

So, no. The NYAG settlement details how Tether lied on such a snapshot attestation.
Ask HN: How to Disrupt Telecoms in Canada?

If you are in the industry, I would love any guidance you could provide to help a newbie get started. Is it feasible to challenge them? What resources should I look into to get started? Why will it be difficult and where am I most likely to fail?

Exactly rule we've deduced with my wife in our trips in South-East Asia and out living in Russia.

Fun story:

In the middle of nowhere in Myanmar we'd stopped to eat in roadside shack (we'd travelled by motorcycle). Food was delicious, and my wife looked up Google Maps while we waited for ordered second dish. To our surprise, this shack was listed on GMaps. We wrote good review, why not? Google Map asks several additional questions, like «Is this place popular among the college crowd» and «Is this place wheelchair-accessible». Nearest college is about 500km to this place, 0.01% of children go to college, and wheelchairs, of course, could be pushed to this shack, as it has ground floor. I mean, no floor at all. It was very funny indeed.

But most of the time same service behavior is not funny, but irritating.
What on earth? To clear up some of your false statements:

- You need several hash matches to trigger a review

- The reviewer can of course see what triggered the review (the visual derivative)

- The reviewer would see that the matches are not CSAM, and instead of the report being sent on to the NCMEC it would instead start an investigation of why these innocuous images were matched in the first place

- If the CIA or FBI or CCP wanted to arrest you, there are much easier ways than this
National Security Letters for example. They wouldn't even be allowed to talk about it.
SVN was the reason most people when I was in college didn't use source control at all. It was painful to install on Windows. There weren't good hosts for it. (CSV at least had bad old SourceForge.) Once you had it installed and had settled on a host computer (and SVN needs a host), configuring your repositories in it was a whole new mess. SVN is definitely not "simpler".

With git you can install and git init anywhere and go you have source control. Moving commits to another machine gets us into the complications way above of learning GitHub and tools for GitHub, but in terms of 0-60 on "start a repository so you can commit changes" it's really hard to beat.
No, the vouchers attached to the fake positives do not provide information for decrypting the images

Yeah I know there are side effects for many people. For me the second time it felt a bit like I ran into a door handle at the spot where I got the jab. Like a minor bruise. That was all. But this is anecdotal of course. Some people will get it worse. They always said side effects would be possible for some people. There's also a reason we all have to wait 15 minutes before leaving. The possible allergy is another anticipated side-effect.

If these were serious and common however, really the hospitals would be so busy by now taking care of all of them. The number of people that got the vaccine here in europe in the space of the last few months is enormous. We started much later than the US but have caught up in a really short time. And with the exception of the UK most countries have used mostly mRNA types and very little AstraZeneca. As a result we had (and probably still have) higher numbers going through vaccination per month than the US.

Even the tiniest percentage of serious complications would have been flooding the hospitals which were already at high pressure due to covid.
This is the ultimate lock-in strategy. If you switch from iPhone now, everyone will suspect you of being a pedo and you'll have to endure the social consequences.
Just don't critisize your government in any way. Otherwise they will find anything illegal to arrest you like from crossing street in red to I don't know what. You will be fine becouse there is a legal system and no one can put you into jail for crimes you have not commited. Just look at Julian Assange or random Joe in Belarus who was arrested for wearing red white hat. The justice system always is in the innocent people's side, without exception.

CGI is much more widely used in film than I think you think it is. Half the distance/crowd shots in LotR nearly 20 years ago now were CGI, from what I remember, and e.g. the following scenes of the car sequence in Deadpool use CG humans in far more places than I’d guessed from having watched the film: https://youtu.be/C8D_o8bOeOc

The cinematics in videogames likewise can be pretty convincing, even when the gameplay itself isn’t so much.
