> Will the rich world’s worker deficit last?

Since a market is about supply and demand finding each other at a price point, and supply may well grow if the price is raised, can we not rephrase this as:

"When will the underpayment of workers in the rich world end?"
Most of the mentions of the site I could find on the internet are jut Bitchute comments promoting the site.

Is there a technical portion of the site that's interesting? More info is necessary. I could be missing something. How many people use the site? How long has it been around?
If so they flubbed it.

If they are e2e encrypted they can't be distributed/shared without giving a key of some sort. Why not just scan them at time of distribution, and treat undistributed files the same as any local hard-drive (i.e. not their problem).
Some people I follow have moved to Odysee[1], seems like a good candidate for helping wean users off YT. There are a handful of YT creators uploading content to both platforms simultaneously. That might be the best way to transition away from YT until the other platforms become popular enough to self-sustain. There's a blockchain under the hood which I'm sure will trigger some HN denizens (I'm a bit skeptical as well) but it seems like a solid concept.

What's equally laughable and gutsy to me is Tesla's assertion that they can achieve parity with cameras, what radar (and now lidar) have been doing for decades.

When Mr. Rajkumar details how a camera works (he did dumb it down for the layperson quite a bit), it seems almost laughable that a technology like that can even work in a real-world scenario like vehicular traffic.

I've always been of the mind that this technology can only work if you reduce the number of variables at play... that means removing the human element altogether (and even then, mother nature may have other plans), meaning self-driving cars should have their own roads. Pipe dream, I know.
Flashing lights are common and important in the real world. If they confuse AI, then AI isn't ready. No excuses, either figure it out or don't claim you are ready.
Neuralhashes are far from my area of expertise, but I've been following Apple closely ever since its foundation and have probably watched every public video of Craig since the NeXT take over and here is my take: I've never seen him so off balance before as in his latest interview with Joanna Stern. Not even in the infamous “shaking mouse hand close up” of the early days.

Whatever you say about Apple, they are an extremely well oiled communication machine. Every C-level phrase has a well thought out message to deliver.

This interview was a train wreck. Joanna kept asking: please, in simple terms, to a hesitant and inarticulate Craig. It was so bad that she had to produce infographics to fill the communication void left by Apple.

They usually do their best to “take control” of the narrative. They were clearly caught way off guard here. And that's revealing.
Are you suggesting that perhaps less people should report rape accusations, because it might be awkward for the accused to get negative publicity? Thats messed up.
Same, yeah, did not know TPG was sold out, and I should've been suspicious when I kept seeing it on the side of Delta Planes.

Damn that branding is strong, I need to verify ownership and how authoritative writing works on these blogs.
How and When to Tell Employees About an Acquisition
Always On, Always at Risk
I expected the entire article to read "Because Tesla is just a grift on the gullible. The end."
This is actually a fairly big deal in enterprise sales. I learned that one of the reasons my company didn't use Slack and opted for a larger company's (arguably inferior) clone was that Slack was basically not suable (blood from a stone and all that). My company basically wanted the ability to hold the provider liable for a breach. I look around at our other vendors and most of them appear to be capable of weathering a lawsuit, whereas Slack (at that time) was not. Now...however....things have changed. :)
My understanding is that iCloud reports orders of magnitudes less CSAM than other cloud services at a similar scale. My guess is that apple wanted a way to report the CSAM they are currently storing without having to decrypt/inspect every person's personal data (which necessarily opens vectors for e.g. rogue employees doing bad things with people's personal data)

Hence why this approach was stated as a privacy win by Apple. They catch the CSAM and they don't have to look at your photos stored online.
I used to work for Red Ventures as an engineer. It was a very poorly run technical company with dubious business practices. I won't into details, but I would encourage any developers to look elsewhere if possible.
While it might be interesting to know what it does in such cases, it shouldn't matter. You as a human should always take full control when encountering unusual activity on road. Relying on currently available driving aid systems to handle edge cases is just begging for trouble.
Compared to Teslas, they statistically do not. You may make an argument that they do compared to other makes of manually driven cars, but you'd have to adjust for all sorts of variables, and a YouTube search won't do that for you.
Agreed. Identifying what is fixed and what is negotiable is key. Most often I see that scope is the only one that is not fixed when it comes down to it.

Even more important is not letting your team get boxed into fixed scope and fixed time as you can increase velocity some but increases to velocity are usually the most over-estimated in my experience.
It really depends on the subreddit.
Why should I? I don't bother, that way I know which sites to not visit because they can't put together a usable website. If I go out of my way to force their site to be useable then they see they get traffic while doing such things instead of learning not to, or going out of business.
Relevant according to whom? You’ve explained _why_ Google returns those results, but that doesn’t make the answers relevant. Especially not when Google presents them so authoritatively as knowledge cards (or whatever they’re calling it these days).

Sure, if you’re a someone trying to reverse-engineer the algorithm, then they’re probably pretty “relevant”. But that’s not how most people use Google. I’ll bet most of HN doesn’t use Google this way.

Maybe it’s a UI issue. It’d be nice if Google attached a little disclaimer that said: “These results are “relevant” to the way our algorithm produces these results, but there’s a chance they’re laughably incorrect, so please take with a bucket of salt.” Or better still, just show the search results, instead of being clever and pretending to understand what I’m looking for. Y’know, like back in the day, when it was such a delight switching from AltaVista/Yahoo! to Google. Good times.
Why are these 'green username' bots so suddenly excited about the 'M&A folks at Atlassian' and so quick to comment on this?

The desperation to cheerlead on this site is getting worse.
I would guess there are multiple reasons:

1) People getting government assistance so they are able to survive without their current employer enabling them to quit

2) People re evaluating the risk reward ratio of their jobs, perhaps due to COVID bringing risks into view that previously were not focused on, and also comparing themselves to all the people they see working remotely getting paid more for not taking risks

3) People have time to research other work options since they were able to quit (or lost their job)

4) Demographic changes becoming more apparent as fewer children mean more and more of the working population ages out every year, and if not replaced by immigrants, then there are objectively fewer people competing to sell their labor
Here in NL is not uncommon for police vehicles to be the instigator of the accident ( high speed manouvres etc ).
> mean that renewables will soon be able to supply all of our energy needs

pure propaganda. Otherwise why all the panic about global warming. If true we'll have no problem hitting all the targets to avoid the a global warming catastrophe.
> That way nobody gets hurt and you can move on.

Until you generate a photo that actually does look like someone, and that person becomes targeted as a result.
This! Apple almost never admit their mistakes ("You're holding it wrong"), so the technical argument would allow leaving this feature in an indefinite and perhaps opt-in beta.
You Are Not the User: The False-Consensus Effect
I think there's also a third option - that the deadline energizes.
I've been in teams, where the team as a whole set a completely arbitrary deadline for the functionality they'd like to have done by a given time - and that worked well to motivate team members to hit it.
Granted, this is probably not the norm though, but it's not impossible.
Lots of discussion of SerenityOS yesterday on https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28206840 too.
As far as my understanding goes, you can apply a distance measure on the (neural)hashes of the input image and the reference image. A proximity threshold will determine if it's a variant of the original image or not. So, it should probably be pretty good at defeating basic evasion.

It is not like a cryptographic hash, where altering a single bit will completely change the output.
And everyone was saying how impossible this was.

Not an expert, but I do enjoy how quickly this was absconded and disproven.
>Restrictive covenants that allow private owners to discriminate on the basis of race, ethnicity, or religion were deemed illegal by the Supreme Court in 1948, and the 1968 Fair Housing Act prohibits refusing to sell or rent on the basis of membership in a protected class. But in this case, it was the protected class doing the discriminating.

The article was not clear about this, but one gathers that these laws were never enforced for that reason?
The advantage of computer integration is that self-driving vehicle can use all three technologies to make the best use of everything and compensate for any technology's failures.

Unless they remove them and rely on only one type of sensor, which is exactly what Tesla has done. It's like complaining that each sense has issues, then removing all but one. Multimodal integration is literally how we use our senses normally.
How do QR codes work technically?
This conversely means that all illegal content can be freely texted and this system won't even catch the distribution of CP unless those pictures are imported into the photos library and icloud updates enabled.

There's a pretty good chance that it was inevitably going to get expanded to handle pictures arriving at the phone through other means.
I couldn't find any live demos of webpages built with it, is there any examples?
For a normal random person, a grey man. In the real world, a single collision could be enough for the police to acquire further access to people they are already looking at. If the police want access to your phone for other reasons (drugs, taxes, illegal speech) they can use that one collision to get a warrant which will give them greater access.

It is akin to cops wanting to search a car. They don't need a warrant. They only need to follow the car until it breaks any number of traffic laws. Then the resulting traffic stops lets them talk to the driver, who seems evasive, which gives them probable cause, which gets them a warrant to perform a full search. The accidental collision, week evidence of an offending image on the phone, opens the door to whatever other investigation they want to do.
T-Mobile says at least 47M current and former customers affected by data breach
What's it like in Serbia, do Chinese oligarchs own everything?
> farming, space travel, healthcare, etc.

To be fair, there are huge piles of money in 2/3 of these as well. There is obviously the perception that tech labor cannot bring much value to these industries. (Or there are externalities: techies will work for less money if you let them work on space travel.)
I'm not doing it for them. When I'm in a new city, i use google maps to see what's what. Is that restaurant a terrible tourist trap? Do they have food that I'd like? You get the gist. Since i rely on it it's only fair that i do my part for the other people relying on it. It doesn't take a long time to leave a small review of a restaurant or museum, or correct opening hours. Certainly less than it'd take me to find the same information without Google Maps.
It is very possible to have a room in an apartment and food and heat and a cell phone and used clothes and access to public busses for less than 14k/year in many towns and cities

If you look at median net worth of individuals. You'll see that over 50% of people have enough money to live for years without working. Hence, the "most people" phrase. https://www.businessinsider.com/personal-finance/average-ame....

There are plenty of people who feel like they have to live in a high cost of living city. And plenty of people who feel like they have to drive a new car and live in a 4 bedroom house and take their family to Disney World. But those are all choices people make in how they want to live.

Working against you?

This technology doesn't make it even an ounce easier for Apple, or some evil three letter agency, to spy on you. If they want to see if you're a Trump supporter, anti-vaxxer or whatever, they already have access to all your photos and emails, on device. They even have OCR and classification of your photos. An intern could add a spying function in an afternoon.

German government issues tenders for €2B fast-charger network buildout
Where do you see anyone suggesting that we actually "filter out" candidates because they use "I"? Nowhere in this thread have I suggested that in any way.

In other parts of this thread, I've explained why we don't use I. Let me gather them for you.

1 - Redundancy. Imagine a list of bullets that start with the word "I".

- I wrote a playbook for product implementations.

- I managed the project...

- I oversaw a team that...

Hopefully by now you see this wouldn't be a fun read.

2 - Necessity - The resume is about you, not others, so we don't need to say that you (I) did the things on the resume. That is understood, and why 'implied' first person fulfills our needs while also reducing the content. If I ask you what you did today, you can just say "Watched TV, mowed the lawn, ..." - you don't need to say "I watched TV, and then I mowed the lawn."

I hope this helps, and maybe we can put this to bed.
This kind of thinking is how we got here in the first place. Edge cases that no one thought of, that no one wanted to deal with. Treating driving software like a web application that we can just fix later when the bug (i.e. a number of deaths) happen. No big deal, bro. Move fast and break things, right? We're disrupting the auto industry!
> For example you wouldn't know if a kind of steganography has been used to hide image in an image and that neuralhash picked on a hidden image.

How would NeuralHash pick a "hidden image"? It only uses the pixels of the image to get the hash. Any hidden image in the metadata would not even be picked up and no amount of steganography can fool NeuralHash.

> There is many vectors. For example you can leave phone unattended and someone can snap a picture of an image or since a collision may look innocent to you, you would overlook it in an email etc...

As iterated elsewhere in this thread, random gibberish pixels colliding with CSAM would definitely not be useful in incriminating anyone. The manual process would catch that. Also, if the manual process is overloaded, I'm pretty sure basic object recognition can filter out most of the colliding gibberish .
I may have linked to the wrong one. They have 2 active owned via AllConnect patented by Glenn Goad. One is zip code availability lookup/search and the other is address level search for availability of services. They also have a 3rd more aggressive one that the patent examiner gave them headaches over and they ultimately abandoned.

We were sued in 2018. My knowledge of their patents is from then. They may have abandoned some since then.
I get this a few times, but my conversation goes something like:

Peter) how long will it take to do "an action that you don't know how long it will take"

me) I don't know, at a complete guessminate X weeks

Peter) ok, you can do it in X/2 weeks then

me) I'll need to triage the request and understand the requirements then at a guess it "may" least Y days to investigate what's needed - that's if It can be done, assess the amount of work needed, governance to go through, assess the priorities and get back to you with the order of magnitude costs for you to sign off - How soon can you set up the triage with all the relevent SMEs to answer my questions?
My favourite ever OS theme was Mac OS X 10.4 "Tiger", that period of Aqua was just so cheerful and friendly compared to everything before or since. I'd love to be able to skin modern macOS back to Tiger's theme but the best I can do is giving Firefox a brushed metal theme!
Flexibility. Can be a lot quicker to hire a contractor (and get rid of them) than a permanent employee.

Also useful if you require niche skills for a project.
Her professor counceled her to let him trap others in the same situation?!? Fine professor.

Sounds like she should wait until after she gets her phd, then scream. And, while leveling accusations at the professor too.

He's as guilty as they are.
The new push in connections and joins are really amazing. I used some a few months ago for a small project. At first, I was skeptical of them, but after I used them, I saw how amazing they are. No more wire nuts.
I think all software should come with the --räikkönen[0] --here-there-be-dragons --yes-i-mean-it set of switches to enable you to do boneheaded stuff when needed.

And using them in prod should be grounds for dismissal, or at least pretty severe legal liability if things go wrong as a result.

They can see the image - why would they import a random image into their library from someone they don’t know?
But hey, now you can pay the government an extra tax ($80 to $100 every 5 years) to not have to do that or pay a private company (Clear) even more to be an even more privileged citizen who deserves more trust than the average citizen.
Everything is nibbling away at Walmart. The big one that I don't think people are paying attention to anymore is Dollar General. Dollar General has cut out at least half of trips to Walmart just by virtue of convenience according to the people I hang out with.
> Keeping that tritium from escaping the building will be a major headache

JET already had robust procedures for handling Tritium. It wasn’t that difficult because we are talking about such small amounts and the T is lighter than air so minute releases aren’t a major public hazard. Don’t forget Fission reactors actually produce Tritium.
It doesn't do that. How can rewriting the source address of outbound connections prevent inbound connections?

You're not going to exhaustively scan the entire v6 space in any short amount of time. It is possible to whittle down the space you need to scan, but only moderately. It's still rather unviable compared to v4.
I kind of hope this is the outcome, and that they let us know so we can have the opportunity to donate to help pay legal costs. This kind of thing is a nightmare.
Let's say it's annual (or if they have the capacity, monthly) and paid at the start of the passage of the law, so you get the money first before the gas price increase.

It's not done at time of purchase because it is not a gas subsidy.
It's difficult to find due to Covid limits, but it looks like there are usually scheduled flights a couple of times a week to cities in Chile and Brazil.
Imaging radars are way more expensive than cameras, but the type useful in the most basic collision avoidance costs just few dollars.

There is no reason to not to have them in a car priced $100k, even just as a failsafe backup to the videocamera.

In the future though, mass produced single chip radars have all the chances to beat every other sensing method on cost.
I'm not sure what you mean. If we are talking about Apple's new feature, they will not even be alerted until you have enough matches.

And the police probably won't be using any neural hashes if they have access to your device, so I'm not sure what you are talking about.
Are you offering to pay for OP's lawyer?

Very much this. The idea for the borrow checker is from the 80s IIRC. Slowly approaching mainstream with Rust.
> The results from the experiment on 8 August indicate an energy output of over one mega-joule, which marks the threshold agreed for the onset of 'ignition' and is six times the previous highest energy achieved.

They got 1Mj output from > 500TW input - this is a "major milestone" but only a small step on the path to fusion.

NIF is fascinating, and has been promising for the past decade. The idea of kick-starting fusion with lasers sounds awesome, and then more awesome when you realize just how much energy you need for fusion. They're shooting terawatts of laser at a target the size of a hollow grain of rice, and they're not there yet!
This problem is actually pretty obvious to fix and you don't even need a neural net - it can definitely be done "old school" computer vision.

Simply detect the presence of "flashing emergency lights" in the oncoming lane and disable autopilot when present. No object detector needed. The signal is so strong it's literally flashing extremely brightly in a regular, predictable pattern - any vision grad student should be able to figure this out.

Could there be false positives? Yep, but very few things will flash quite like that, and most half baked vision engineers can do this. The worst case is literally simply the driver taking over on occasion at night (maybe near strip clubs? lol)
Latest Polls of the California Recall Election
A lot of it depends. The benefits of a prenup can be marginal depending on the laws of the state if both parties have similar assets and income. Of course there seems to be gender bias in the courts, and even abuse of process (restraining orders based on fictions to gain control of the house, etc).

Some states are fillial responsibility states. I wanted a prenup to protect our assets during the marriage, so that the state wouldn't be able to come after stuff in my name to support her deadbeat dad. We're protected in a different way because his prior actions was considered abandonment. If we had any "real" money (wife's mother was very dismissive about the amount I saved up), then i guess I could still set up a trust.

I still think a prenup would have been good. Why not decide on what is fair and reasonable when on good terms and you're not clouded by hate or resentment? It would save massively on legal fees. My wife didn't want one. She never gave a reason, but it's safe to assume that the conditions under the court eiild be more favorable than a prenup that excludes alimony. Her mother made some huge deal about me "not knowing what I'm doing", even though she has a prenup and couldn't give any explanation of why it's a bad idea. So overall, it feels like I was taken advantage of and they basically bullied me (repeated unsupported emotional attacks) into not getting one.

Frankly, I don't see much reason to get married in today's world. Sure, there are some minor or fringe benefits when dealing with taxes and stuff, but most companies are recognizing domestic partners for benefits even without official domestic partner certificates. Marriage is just a piece of paper from the government and shouldn't be neccessary to validate one's relationship.
The funny thing is supposedly today, there are hospital beds, but insufficient healthcare workers due to insufficient pay relative to quality of life at work.
