Sigh

In reply to @kalu whose recent thread is flagged and dead, so i cannot respond to them even though they clearly have intellectual curiosity, and a response might be helpful:

Colonialism could be taken to imply the Mongolians taking Rome; the Romans taking Europe; Germany taking France; the Taliban taking Afghanistan

Which of those is good, in what way is it good?

Because of your example countries, i assume that you mostly mean Britain taking Australia, Canada, Uganda, etc

It is true, having lived in some of those countries, i know that many people have a positive view and are even thankful for that colonialism; and then alternatively Iran and HN :) takes an opposite view point

But i think it is easy to say colonialism itself is not what they value. Colonialism did not bring benefit. It is definitely bad. It implies entitlement not just to enslavement, but to enslave whole nations and continents. What brought benefit is that the colonalist at that time was less worse on average than some of what was there previously, and as you point out, also less worse than a few instances of what came after

What made that so? Surely not the enslavement/colonialism itself

What made it so, in any way less worse? I would suggest the philosophy of valuing people, of honesty, of considering looking for other people's benefit as more important than their own land grab -- a philosophy however deeply buried, was revolutionary, and still is, and i would suggest is becoming more so

-- So definitely not colonialism, but a mixed bag, with a faint spark of goodness, which you are right, we are desperate for

The thing that most makes wolves unpopular in Germany is not killing livestock: there's an adequate compensation scheme, nor risk to people, it's that wolves go out of their way to kill dogs.
The problem w/ circles, lists and tags, is that they require the user themselves to create and maintain them. Unless your tech can read minds and prompt for new affinities discovered or changes in relationship automatically, its too much cognitive load.

You should read - http://blog.intercom.io/what-we-can-learn-from-google-plus/
Curious how you solve for that.

I don't think its natural for humans to say "today Bob went from acquaintance to friend" or "i'll make a circle for dirty jokes" proactively.
Fedora silverblue can recover from this state. The kernel is just a file inside the OS image. If the latest OS image is corrupted due to a power failure, it will just boot the previous image which is still working.
> it's public, after all, so i had the expectation that all info on there is insecure

I think it's a misconception.

Unless you just let everyone write anything in your repo, one would expect that what is there is what it says on the tin.

Every public software project takes measures to stay authentic and not let random and unreviewed, potentially malicious bits in. This is how they keep their users' trust.

Very roughly, "public" = read access is unrestricted, and "insecure" = write access is unrestricted.
But "native" as a word still imply some sort of birth date :D

I mean when I asked my grandad a while ago why he wasnt just getting the internet he told me when he was my age, horses were used to pick trashes up. For him, all that floats above his head.

He s not a digital native. I probably am not either because I remember a time when there was no internet and PCs were a luxury.

What you re describing is more the difference between digital savvyness and lack of it. They still are born in it and cant probably live without a phone.

I'm not a techie, but I think iOS already has similar technology: Camera detects faces, Photos can recognize people and objects (or cats) — all with help of AI (or ML). I think they are just expanding this and combining with "share".
It seems to me that the key phrase there is "diagnosis of infection". That's likely to be reduced by protecting against symptoms, because asymptomatic people are unlikely to be tested.

Is anyone doing regular tests on large groups of people to measure the rate of asymptomatic infections?
Back in the mid-90s we "young people" used napster to download songs to play at parties and took digital photos that were uploaded to a website for everyone to laugh at the next day.

People said "look at the youth of today - they understand technology. Follow the youth of today, they will show you the future."

I thought that was right till I met other young people who had no idea.

The real answer is follow the software literate. Follow those skilled, trained and working with / on software each day.
> They (and Google, Microsoft, Facebook, etc.) are essentially mandated reporters; if CSAM is on their servers, they're required to report it.

I don't think that's correct. My understanding is that if they find CSAM, they're obligated to report it (just like anyone is). I don't believe they are legally obligated to proactively look for it. (It would be a PR nightmare for them to have an unchecked CSAM problem on their services, so they do look for it and report it.)

Consider that Apple likely does have CSAM on their servers, because they apparently don't scan iCloud backups right now. I don't believe they're breaking any laws, at least until and unless they find any of it and (hypothetically) don't report it

>Very curious again, because even in HN there were a lot of stories where people are willing to even resign, to keep the freedom that they discovered with not having to work in strict constraints

What do you mean by "even HN"? HN is extremely biased toward super introverted anti-social people who prefer working alone and not have human interaction. Using HN as a data point is about as biased as it gets on this topic.

Think logically for a moment, if the majority of people have "working remote" as their number 1 priority regardless of nature of work or compensation, then places like Silicon Valley wouldn't have existed in the first place. The good engineers would all have left and taken a lower paid remote contracting job working from home (and some indeed have in the past).

At the end of the day we do have internal survey data from FB and Google and other companies, vast majority of them do not want full remote work.
> So, you think that if you swapped R and D in the dataset, then the algorithm would always make the D win?

Algorithms will fall into two groups: the first will favor Democrats in the real world and Republicans in the counterfactual swapped-dataset world, and the second will favor Republicans in the real world and Democrats in the counterfactual swapped-dataset world. There will be arguments that multiple algorithms, some from each group, are each the "fairest" by varying definitions. GP suspects that it will be mainly algorithms from the first group that end up being used.

Does this mean that Covid passports actually help spread Covid from vaccinated to non-vaccinated people who mix together without masks?

Not crazy about the wording of that sentence; it reads, to me at least, that the vaccinated kind of "duped" the un-vaccinated into thinking intermingling was safe. It removes the agency from the un-vaccinated, as if remaining both un-vaccinated[1] and mitigation of possible exposure is beyond their control.

(Nobody asked me but...) I would have worded it more like: "Does this mean that the un-vaccinated, hoping to parlay herd immunity into abdication of personal and societal responsibility, ended up playing themselves?"[2]

[1] I'm separating the legit medically immuno-compromised from voluntarily un-vaxxed.

[2] I'm in Texas and was fully vaccinated as early as possible with two kids that can't be vaccinated yet and am currently watching a surge drown our local hospitals so I'm super fucking jaded.

Sorry about the confusion. I meant all Americans' accounts with that bank, not all Americans' accounts in the entire country.

That link also confirms what I said: it clearly says the reporting requirements apply to all "U.S. citizens and residents with...any foreign financial accounts", and it provides a list of some banks that still accept American account holders because many do not.

I went through some TikTok accounts that aim to be informational. Even for the basic type of people talking to the camera, the content density is indeed higher than some YouTube counterparts.

The problem I see is that there's an upper limit to the quantity of information even with this higher density. And that's a hard limit on the range of topics that this format can cover.

Furthermore, I don't think this can be solved by simply increase the time limit as well, since people can't maintain the same level of attention for a long period of time. Say the content needs 60s with max density. It usually needs to spread out to 120s with lower density for it to be understood better.

For the informational content I consume on YouTube, in a 10min video, the parts that can be removed are usually 30s of opening and 30s of closing. For the rest, though it has lower density than TikTok, I don't think it's possible to compress that much and the low density is in some sense necessary.

Of course, this is specific to how people use YouTube and TikTok. And though I am unlikely to use TikTok from this experience, I still appreciate your input.
No, native really just mean born after. It implies they never knew a world without the internet or computers, but they can still be absolute morons.
As an Indian, it's especially annoying when websites just assume that I want the website in Hindi. We have 22 languages officially recognised in the Constitution, and a few hundred regional dialects, and Hindi is only spoken by 40% of the population. A lower percentage even reads it. I'm good with English, thanks. It's what I think in.

And this very article embarassingly shows that after 16 years it is still investors who are funding those specialized communities.
Because I know it's just an "assist". Basically the camera sees the white lines in the road and tries to bounce between them while keeping a safe distance to the car in front with a radar.

My car also requires me to put actual pressure on the wheel at all times, I think a 10-15 second lapse is allowed, then it starts to beep.

It's still quite early, Phase 1 trials are underway for nasal-delivery vaccines from Spain, China and US.

In theory, a vaccine delivered via inhaler requires little or no training for administration, so the supply chain would be simplified. Given the current focus on vaccine passports, governments will probably want an approved witness to the vaccine being administered, even if they could technically be self-administered.
But they’re already in both countries.
This thing can be good for the Chinese people, but it's CCP, so yeah, it must be evil intentioned.

I don't know if you really mean it or you are forced to well imagine it so your comment won't be downvoted.
And im sure some would like to censor this viewpoint, but the G7 nations and leaders, what philosophy are they?

They are Christian. To love your enemy, to consider others benefits over your own, to be honest even when it disadvantages you. This kind of philosophy is what enables a nation to grow, and leaders to benefit their people rather than themselves
the idea of using povidone-iodine as a nasal prophylactic is interesting, but I think your explanation is lazy. for one, it's hard enough to get people to wear masks, much less snorting cleaner every morning! second, if this works, why wouldn't doctors and nurses be using it? they were at tons of risk before the vaccines.

edit: less sketchy link to a study of Iota-Carrageenan nasal spray for covid prophylaxis: https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.04.13.21255409v... not peer reviewed, but a registered clinical trial reporting positive results.

Hackerwise I would like to try out PinePhone but as I understand it, it is not really for daily use yet. But I like the kill switches and that it doesn't rely at all on android code base
Middle management becomes a bit of a circle jerk in large companies. They have to find reasons to justify their existence so you get branding initiatives like this to pump up the annual reviews.
I have seen both in comments from Apple. Certainly spokespeople have talked about wanting any reports to NCMEC to be actionable.

I think a lot hinges on what you call a ‘false positive’. It could mean ‘an image that is not CSAM’ or it could mean ‘an account that has some apparent CSAM, but not enough to be evidence of anything’.
31 degrees C in Northern Canada (Manitoba) right now... Is that an anomalous reading?
I largely agree with your point fossuser.

I am also in favour of E2E by default for everything without any device or cloud based scanning. However, Apple doesn't want to be caught in having developed a service that enables for child exploitation. Doing nothing may have even more invasive requirements legally forced by government, so Apple is stuck with a dilemma. Also lets not forget that Apple should also not want child exploitation to occur and therefore also should do something.

The question I have for drenvuk is how else is Apple able to prevent or detect child exploitation and the storage or distribution of content such as this on Apple's services?

But muah slippery slope.

Phone has functionality to backup its contents. Phone has functinality to record things. No new functionality needed.

Thus, they are backdoors built into the system with the ability to record everything and upload it to an authourtarian regime for the genocide of the human race.

But we all know the real evil here is using a hashing algorithm to check images you upload to their server for known kiddie porn.
I have a very different definition of "easy" compared to Consumer Reports.

> Fisher next placed a small, weighted chain on the steering wheel, to simulate the weight of a driver’s hand, and slid over into the front passenger seat without opening any of the vehicle’s doors, because that would disengage Autopilot. Using the same steering wheel dial, which controls multiple functions in addition to Autopilot’s speed, Fisher reached over and was able to accelerate the vehicle from a full stop.

Yes, the good old easy method of putting a weighted chain to the steering wheel and climbing over to the passenger seat.

Without listening to that podcast, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say this is a slightly Fortran-specific problem (or at least, not at problem encountered for C or C++), namely how to optimize Fortran array expressions.

The LLVM IR doesn't understand array operations, so the Fortran frontend must 'scalarize' the array expressions, that is, turn them into the equivalent loops. Only after that can the LLVM middle and back-ends try to vectorize that scalar IR for execution on SIMD (or vector, or GPU) HW. The problem is that this scalarization loses some information, and thus for good performance on array code the Fortran frontend must implement some optimizations on array operations before scalarizing.

There is an LLVM subproject called MLIR (https://mlir.llvm.org/ ) that aims to build a higher level IR that understands arrays, and can be useful for things like optimizing deep learning graphs, but also things like Fortran frontends could make use of it. AFAIK the flang Fortran project aims to make use of it, but I haven't followed development that closely.

Yes, but even the significant changes among them are mostly inconsequential when one compares with what we got e.g. between 1880 and 1960 (electricity and running water at most homes, cinema, radio and television, nuclear energy and weapons, x-rays, lasers, i.p. engines, cars, airplanes, DNA, satellites, rockets, digital computers, and tons more...)

The terms don't make sense though. No-one would say that Mark Zuckerberg (born way before Google was founded in 1998) is a digital immigrant who wouldn't be expected to know how to ask Google.

The whole point of the article is that "digital native" and "digital immigrant" is silly. There's no huge skills gap between people who learnt to use computers when they were young, and people who learnt when they were older (especially once you account for the amount of practice older people have). Lots of older people know to "ask Google", and lots of young people lack the problem solving skills to do so.

The big mistake in "digital native" thinking is to assume that all IT tasks are part of one general skillset that needs to be learn while you are young, and that therefore 'young people are good with all that IT stuff'.

If anything, I'd say younger people are worse at IT. It used to be the case that a lot of older people didn't know how the basic skills of computer use (typing, clicking on a GUI, having some idea of what a file system was, etc). A 60 year old used to panic over how to do basic computer things and ask their 20 year old coworker who did a few hours of computer class in school. Now the 20 year old coworker is more likely to need to ask the 60 year old for help.
I am sympathetic. Let Manhattan give herself back to the beavers or pay Wisconsin to not kill wolves. This is right.

Otherwise we incentivize rapid current action to destabilize so that you aren’t the one later asked to hold back.
