I bought a Sceptre TV. Quality seems fine, but I'm no videophile. It could be that when displaying certain shades of blue, the display is four or five nits dimmer than spec, but I wouldn't know if it was.
Is there a law requiring device manufactures to search (without any warrant!) the devices of all their customers?

How do for example hard drive manufacturers comply?
Combination of needing lots of infrastructure, and lack of political will.

If US decided that instead of waiting for green tech to emerge, we would just simply stop burning fossil fuels and revert to an Amish standard of living until clean fuels are developed, we could have converted to Hydrogen already

>People are going to those specialized communities to get real information from real users, not lies and misinformation (ads and marketing).

Those specialized communities will cease to exist without something funding them.

Either users get ready to get out their wallets or get used to ads and marketing (which are not wholly lies and misinformation). And more importantly remember it's Reddit's choice how users pay, not the end users.
Or "I could care less" when most of the world says "I could not care less". If you can't care less then obviously you can't go any lower about caring.

But the American saying is: "I could care less about that." but that means (say) "I'm currently caring at 89% but I could care less down to 43%." which negates the whole meaning of the saying.
Doesn't matter the percentage of subreddits (i.e. counting every qualifying subreddit equally), what is the percentage of eyeballs? And don't you think lots of people view porn subreddits without subscribing?
Unless Apple can demonstrate that the techniques they are using are intrinsically specific to CSAM and to CSAM only--the techniques do not work for any other kinds of photo or text--slippery slope arguments are perfectly valid and cannot be denied.

Apple is a private company and as such its actions amount to vigilantism.
Huang is starting to look like Kaku.

I haven't seen this one and while I am sure many have missed, there's no way "nobody noticed". Of course, this is direct PR material straight from Nvidia. Such material is hard for me to read because at 50 percent is junk words and sentences
No chaos. The photos would be reported, reviewers would say "that's weird" since the false positive was obviously harmless and the industry would eventually switch to a different hash method while ignoring the false positives generated by the collision. If there were a flood of false positive images being produced the agencies would work faster to come up with a new solution, not perform mass arrests.
My cursory knowledge is Go is best for distributed services and things that heavily involve the network.

Rust is better for memory based operations due to its safety and speed.
The 1 trillion figure is only after factoring in that you would need multiple false positives to trigger the feature. It's not descriptive of the actual false positive rate of the hashing itself.
This article [1] says the cost point is closer to $34 per gallon (back in 2009).

Scanning for CSAM on a server was a precedent for scanning on a device. Everything is a precedent for anything.
I don't technically disagree with you, but I do think this is just a bit hyperbolic.

If you just spent $2B on a company, you probably did it to make money at the end of the day. After all, business is rarely charitable.

The company you just acquired likely has a declining and unhealthy cash flow and little to no cash reserves. You're unlikely to go and then infuse it with more of your capital. As a result, you're going to turn to outside capital to finance whatever plans you have.

These plans are used as justification to creditors with which to take out these loans at whatever interest rate they deem appropriate.

Additionally, you're likely going to reward yourself for any profits or turn around that does happen at the company. After all, you do have $2B tied up in this company.

I agree, these companies are now more than likely walking corpses. As an employee, I probably wouldn't want to be stuck there as there is likely going to be little spent on employee retention and growth.

However, it also does provide extended life to these brands that with a declining cash flow and no outside leadership change would likely meet the same fate and likely much quicker at that.

As with everything, there is a spectrum. There are likely examples that did exactly what you just said. And there are also probably examples where the business turned around and went public again some day. The vast majority are going to sit in the middle, with no sinister plan and slowly fade away as the last customers stop giving them money.

I think it's unfair to paint the companies being acquired as perfect companies. They have likely already lost customer confidence and as I mentioned in my first post can't find a path to growth. After all, that is why they are in this position to begin with.

The morality of this process can certainly be debated, but I think it's fair to say that most people don't invest a lot of money into a business just to run it into the ground as quickly as possible. It does exist, no doubt, but running a firesale is far from the most profitable way earn money on your investment.

The doc is actually incomplete, it refers to implementation defined ABI entry points for the actual unwinding. The actual unwind tables and compensation opcodes are, IIRC, part of the DWARF standard, but last time I looked at it that standard was also incomplete and left a lot unspecified. Many of the details (including bugs that have now become part of the ABI) are basically folklore.

IIRC Ian LAnce Taylor had a series of blog posts that did shed light on a lot of these details.
Sorry under which of these other moderation regimes does the organisation in question transmit CSAM from a client device to their own servers? To my knowledge Apple is the only one doing so.
That's the problem I had with Ben's post - it's always been policy since Apple controls and distributes iOS.
Question:

Would Apple report CSAM matches worldwide to one specific US NGO? That's a bit weird, but ok. Presumably they know which national government agencies to contact.

Opinion:

If Apple can make it so that

a) the list of CSAM hashes is globally the same, independent of the region (ideally verifiably so!), and

b) all the reports go only to that specific US NGO (which presumably doesn't care about pictures of Winnie the Pooh or adult gay sex or dissident pamphlets)

then a lot of potential for political abuse vanishes.
Until you need them to rewrite history because it consists of 20 "fix" and "update" commits.
I wouldn't think about wet ink signatures as a matter of security, per se.

A contract is only valid as long as both parties stick to it. If there's a disagreement, it's up to a court to figure it out. That's where you get into risk mitigation. If you are comfortable with a court making a determination based on an exchange over email, then great. Courts see email as a valid form of proving one's identity. If you want to go further to reduce the risk that a court invalidates the contract, you can do things like having witnesses, wet ink, notaries, etc. Obviously for a contract with low material value, it's not a big deal. Signing a multi-million dollar contract? People start taking whatever measures they can to ensure things are air tight.

A lot of tech people think risk mitigation is only verifying somebody's identity, but a court could decide a contract is invalid because the person signing it had no idea what was inside. So there's a lot more to it.

Ask HN: What retro platform could be your daily driver?
A lot of people are interested in retro computing these days, and there is an exciting amount of innovation and possibilities.

My computer history is zx81, zxSpectrum, Atari ST, Atari Falcon,Sun (something), SGI Indy, and PC.

Whenever I fire up a Sinclair emulator, I mostly lose interest right away.
It is too primitive. Getting my favorite game fired up I dont want to play it.
The database I wrote for it, it is kind of fun to see it running again but not really.

I am not able to recreate the magic that I felt back then.

The upgrade from the ZX Spectrum to the Atari ST was the biggest improvement
I have ever had and probably ever will as far as computers go.

My second one was from probably Windows 3.11 to WindowsNT.

For the longest time DOS And Windows16 felt incredibly primitive compared to the ST.

What came before and what has come after feel more like incremental improvements.

Now so for me the earlier computers are not doing it.

I was able to get an emulator to run Atari TT, and with some fixes here and there,
I could get it running at an acceptable resolution with more memory and speed than a real TT could ever have.

Finding software that was able to take advantage of the increased resolution was not easy.

So for me, a souped-up Atari TT running MultiTOS is a retro platform that I could use for some things as my daily computer.

I am hoping others can share their retro experience and maybe i will learn about a plattform I haven't really used but that can make (some) use of modern resources.
This is my primary frustration with induction too. I use heavy cast iron and stainless steel clad aluminium cookware. This isn't some cheap thin stuff before people think it's the pans. The induction ring will make a hot spot hotter the sun in the middle of the pan while leaving the edges without any heat whatsoever. It's a complete nightmare for doing something like frying an egg, searing meat or anything really except boiling or deep fat frying where the water/oil provides the conductive surface rather than the bottom of the pan.

The other problem is temperature regulation. It regulates heat by pulsing on and off. It makes a noise which is annoying. On some settings and some pans, it will pulse between boiling over and coming off the boil completely. Since the heat settings are digital it can be impossible to find a setting that will keep water at a simmer (even if your volume of water is large enough to overcome the pulsing).

The one thing electric hobs have going for them is ease of cleaning. But cleaning a gas hob is a small price to pay for being able to cook properly.

Gas hob with electric oven is definitely the best combination overall. I could see having a couple of induction rings in addition to gas useful just for boiling and deep fat frying due to increased efficiency and safety, but that seems like an overly complicated setup.
I'm not sure what your point is - mine was that the original post is specifically about GCC, not Standard C++.
Right, but this is also what makes me skeptical of the whole thing. I now have a Personal Access Token saved in my password manager. When I’m in a disposable VM, and git asks for a password (because it’s a fresh, disposable VM), I copy the personal access token out of my password manager, instead of copying my Github password out of my password manager.

Okay, no big deal, I just have to spend an extra second searching for the copy password icon, since it’s not in the same place as every other account password—but did this really improve my security at all? It’s just a different password.
A more relevant question is how much does a single gas pump or EV charging station cost. A gas station can easily have a dozen pumps for ~500k.
> get the hash database

Apple designed the system so that their hashes are never known to client devices. Their server is fundamentally involved in checking your hashes against their list.

The long-tail subs will never get too crowded. If you have found a niche where like-minded people hang out, there will never be a whole lot more of them, and however many more there are, it's a positive.

I'm thinking vintageaudio, lv426, subs like that.
It’s worth pointing out that this could happen with any Internet-attached photo storage, and pre-dates Apple’s announcement.

What Apple announced is a new system for reading the existing hash lists of known CSAM images and doing the comparison on the device as part of the iCloud upload, rather than on the server after upload.
I too love some delicious irony but personally don’t see it in this case unless I disregard all context besides “their privacy policies have some of the same words”. It feels pretty different to me to compare software analytics to a thing like HN that can’t just exist offline on my PC. I know what I’m getting when I have to make network requests to read a web page, but Etcher only uses it to phone home private info like “I’m writing Ubluntu-13.37-Heavenly-Heifer.iso to a 16GB volume named ‘KINGSTON’ with serial number <whatever>”.
Sure, in that very specific and somewhat unlikely scenario. Maybe the professor demanded a handjob as well. Or perhaps the university claims ownership over all intellectual property produced by the PhD student as part of their thesis, and they're unable to upstream their source to any project under any license.

In any case, it sounds like you want to blame the llvm license for the bad feelings the student might have, but that blame is misdirected: the student should aim their anger (if any) at their professor or university for introducing unreasonable requirements. Or maybe they should suck it up because without llvm they would have had to pick another subject for their thesis. I suspect that llvm wouldn't have grown to where it is now (for better or for worse) with a copyleft license. And then our student would have been "forced" to contribute to gcc instead, and sign over their copyright to the fsf instead.

Finally I think the academic world is a lot like permissive licenses already. Anyone can read papers, use that information in any way, and there is no obligation to contribute back. Only when writing new papers are you expected to acknowledge your sources.
They can have a full resolution copy of my photo, all 12 million pixels, along with the exact time, location and direction I was facing when I took it... but I draw the line firmly at a hash of it being taken.
I am not sure the right questions are being asked.

1. Who is adding these photos to NCMEC?
2. How often are these photos added?
3. How many people have access to these photos - both adding and viewing?

Everyone is focused on Apple and no one is looking at MCMEC. If I wanted to plant a Trojan horse, I would point everyone towards Apple and perform all of the dirty work on the NCMEC end of things.
Redux/Vuex never. I have yet to find someone who likes them, they've merely learned to tolerate them.
> Nuclear power emits only a little less co2 than "clean" combined cycle nat gas when you account for the massive amount of concrete and energy for construction and decommissioning (aka lifetime emissions which is a stat rarely used for this reason).

This is far from correct. Yes, concrete production releases CO2, but that only happens once over the 50-80+ year lifetime of a nuclear power plant. Carbon emissions from nuclear are a fraction of fossil fuels [1]. They need to have a separate magnified section to meaningfully show them on the graph: https://www.carbonbrief.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Scree...

1. https://www.carbonbrief.org/solar-wind-nuclear-amazingly-low...

And as mentioned earlier, fuels and industrial processes are where hydrogen comes into play: nuclear can produce hydrogen without C02 emissions through thermal generation.
It does, actually. FinCEN does not fuck around.

We have moved on, from a compiler that could fit in 4kbytes of main memory to one that is a 2Gigabyte download.

It was “array slicing” (array expressions) that was missing in F77. That’s what sequence association was meant to help with. You pass a scalar that is an element of an array and the corresponding dummy is an array. The dummy gets associated with an array that starts at that element and then continues with all the other elements of the actual argument array in array element order. You then use the LDA argument to give a 2d view of the same array in the dummy so you can step to the next column (or every other column if you want, just double the LDA) no matter where you started from.

Programs back then had no need for dynamic memory, they were the only thing running on the machine, no kernel, no other processes or users, why not just grab the entire memory? They booted in a blink of an eye, too. Now, not even our supercomputers run like that. You never know who else is using the resources of the machine.
If you can I would go 4 gas and 2 induction. I think that would be a pretty good setup and a true "best of both worlds".
> Past experiments found hints of Wigner crystallization

A member my family actually did his PhD in 1989 on that:

The hints were about evidence of shearing transmission displayed by the Wigner crystal when poked with some specific RF frequencies IIRC.
Can't you still use https with this? You use the personal account token for the specific account to log in as the "password". I've been doing this recently with two GitHub accounts.

In my ~/.gitconfig file, I've included

[credential "https://github.com"]
useHttpPath = true

Which means that the first time -- and only the first time -- I try to do something with a GitHub repo that requires authentication, I'll be asked for the username and password (token), and I make sure to use the right one. :) At that point things stay set.
Yeah. I start using git for personal projects in 2015 and didn’t even know about git diff until last year. All I knew was how to git add, git commit, pull and push. If anything tricky happened I just copied my changes, deleted the repo and recloned. I don’t think you need to teach git beyond those few commands to people but even then I’ve been using bash since I was a kid playing with openSuse so I’d imagine there’s a lot of bash experience that made it easier for me to pick up. I can’t imagine someone who’s never typed ls will have an easy time picking it up.
That or violent overthrow.
Using hydrogen as an ingredient is not at all the same as using it as a fuel.

Plus you don't need hydrogen molecules to synthesize hydrocarbons, and when people say hydrogen they mean molecules.
That was very insightful article from a legal aspect. Strongly recommend others read this to understand more nuanced opinion.
I will never pay for news sites knowing I can just look at the comments for heroes like you haha.
Try not to compare yourself to others - everyone has had a different journey and everyone has their own issues going on.

One thing that’s working for me is to pick a hobby (mine is music production), choose a consistent time that you’re going to do it, and just show up. There will be times that you just do no want to do it but just show up. Within a short space of time you’ll have a consistent hobby that you’ll probably make real progress in quite quickly.
Presumably, the token is stronger than the passwords most people are using.
While this probably doesn’t completely solve your problem, have you tried using conditional includes in your .gitconfig? I’ve been using that to ensure that anything under ~/work uses my work email for user.email, but anything under ~/projects uses my personal email. It’s quite handy.

Given that they classified a photo I took at a pool as 'beach', they have an awfully long way to go. If their disappearing algorithm doesnt improve they will be disappearing chinese majorities instead of minorities.
If you will suffer a brief crash course on ad terminology, you are describing "placements".
A placement with an ad in it shown to a user is called an "impression".

I agree that advertisers would pay reddit more for better ad space (also called "inventory") but that doesn't just happen automatically.

Right now, I would assume they are integrating with some third party ad network and probably use fairly generic targeting information.
The cost in time and money to either deepen that integration or rip it out and make a custom ad network is probably significant.

Well, also that green hydrogen is a drop in replacement for blue/grey hydrogen. The hard part is building all the infrastructure. If we can build the infrastructure on blue/grey and then gradually transition to green over time, it's an easier feat than waiting until we have economical green hydrogen before starting to build.
The human rights factor is about the same since apple stuff is assembled in China anyway
Wait what? I just use keys generated by ssh and copied to GitHub it was way more straight forward than the git commands themselves to work on a given repo.
Maybe people realize that’s not a winning strategy and thus keep going back to technical details…
My point is that Google and Microsoft have been scanning everything in your account (including data like emails and the files you mirror to their cloud drive) and have been doing so for the past decade.

Apple has announced a plan to scan only those photos you upload to iCloud Photos, and nothing else.

Further, Apple's scans will occur on device where a single false positive cannot be misused to incriminate you by anyone who can get a subpoena, because Apple's servers won't hold any data showing something happened.

Google and Microsoft's systems are much more invasive and much less private.
I think you can achieve this with an SSH config like

Host github-personal
HostName github.com
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa_personal

Host github-work
HostName github.com
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa_work

Then you can use `github-work` or `github-personal` in the remote URL like `git clone git@github-work:mywork/somerepo.git`.

edit: I realized after reading the other comments that I got the problem wrong! This would push the commits from the correct GitHub account but the commits would still have the e-mail from git's config and GitHub would link the account in the committer e-mail.

Something that I love about alien is the way John Hurt's character as the 'face into danger, get things done' soldier resolves the problem of horror movies - why do people do these stupid things that put them in danger? Hurt's character is smart and professional, and doing exactly what he has been trained to do, to put himself and his team into danger in service of a larger agenda. He's no an idiot, he doesn't waver near the danger, he charges straight into it. He's doing his job, as retconned in later movies the xenomoph is valuable asset, worthy of risking the nostromo and its crew for.
> So it is sending pictures? That makes your argument quite a bit weaker.

Important to note this is only ran on images going to iCloud so they are already sent.
