The problem with this license (beyond the fact that they are restricting a lot of user freedom) is that it's not specific. For instance, it's unclear if improving depth quality by applying an extra median filter is a violation of iii as it eliminates a technical limitation.

While I don't expect them to actually go after their users, the fact that EULA is so hostile was the reason we can't use it in our team.
Exactly right. The tech Apple uses can be one of two things:

1. It requires a perfect 1:1 match (their documentation says this is not the case);
2. Or it has some freedom in detecting a match, probably including a match with a certain percentage.

If it's the former, it's completely useless. A watermark or a randomly chosen pixel with a slightly different hue and the hash would be completely different.

So, it's not #1. It's going to be #2. And that's where it becomes dangerous. The government of the USA is going to look for child predators. The government of Saudi Arabia is going to track down known memes shared by atheists, and they will be put to death; heresy is a capital offence over there. And China will probably do their best to track down Uyghurs so they can make the process of elimination even easier.

It's not like Apple hasn't given in to dictatorships in the past. This tech is absolutely going to kill people.
I am happy on Mac, but MS should just ship WinXP with service pack 4 and 5 and then charge money for it. Backport whatever backend tech is needed and sell it as an ultra performance version of windows.
But if there are already enough gas stations to service all gas cars, then building another when the number of gas cars isn't going up makes little business sense.

I'd understand it in a town with regular queues at gas stations. But there aren't many of those left today.
I hope not, since doing the scans like this offers much more privacy for the user. Even when the user is too ignorant (sorry) to realize this.

But this will be evident by reading and understanding the technical description.

I dont really think it'd be a valid second pre-image for this type of hash if they did look similar.
The correct approach would probably be:
- with my router I got $(benchmarked speed in WiFi to external server) if you get a different internet provider or a different WiFi router that might differ. With $(my provider) my wired speed was $(broadband speeds to the telephone exchange).
Regarding classic film-noir movies, I found "The Lady from Shanghai" by Orson Welles much more baffling, and also frustrating. The first time I watched it, I didn't really get the plot. As a big Orson Welles fan, I assumed it was my fault and consulted Wikipedia. The Wikipedia understanding of the plot was equivalent to mine and didn't answer any questions, so I watched it a second time, and a third time. There are massive plot holes. I really believe that Welles was not interested in a coherent plot, he just needed a vehicle for beautiful cinematography and great acting. But it is so frustrating if you try to follow a complicated plot, only to realise at the end of the movie that not even the director was able to understand it.
Why are hash collisions relevent?

There are atleast 2-3 further checks to account for this.
All they have to do is force Apple and Google to ban it and any apps that use it from their app store and they've effectively banned encryption for like 99% of people.

IQ is literally the strongest predictor of job performance across every category. Even stronger than years of experience in the job. This result has been replicated by industrial psychology resource again and again over decades.

I get that it’s kinda rude to bluntly talk about IQ, but without a doubt intelligent colleagues make for a more effective work environment.
In retrospect this makes sense to me. I don't like it, but I get it now. When Apple said "privacy" what they meant was "we don't like tracking cookies or hackers but everything else is fine".

Why is that the alternative? How about everything is encrypted and nothing is scanned.

I don’t think number of diagnoses is a great metric for or against the progress of psychology. We could outlaw psychology and have zero diagnoses, but that wouldn’t be progress. If we’re criticizing psychology for not “curing” people I think that’s a bit unfair - people may not be cured, but their conditions can be managed. I personally would love to be cured of what ails me, but that doesn’t mean I’m not grateful for the medications and therapy that help me live a more “normal” life than would otherwise be possible.
That’s a different scenario. That’s for it happening by chance, not on purpose. At any rate, the “matching” images are reviewed (or a “visual derivative” is).
As someone who is building such instant answer system for our own web search engine [1] the level of failure here tells me that this is:

- Either a basic, distilled BERT based model (optimized for latency and scale) or

- More likely, still a purely heuristics driven answers system like the one Google has been using for last 10+ years.

The current NLP models are able to quite successfully answer these questions with proper context. In this case ignoring Lance or Mars in question looks more like old-school keyword based heuristics and there is no way it can get this right.

Google is not only allowing mistakes in this, what is considered a fairly difficult problem to solve, but also questions that directly query their own knowledge graph, for example this one querying for a CEO of a well known public company where it returns the wrong answer [2]

This only shows that 'emperor has no clothes' [3] and that there is still a lot of room for innovation left, specially on the 'organizing the world's information' front.

Here's my positions, but of course I'm open to other opinions. I wrote a big list and I realized I could distill a lot of my ideas. For one I'm a big fan of STAR and Approval voting. We've seen over a hundred years of ordinal methods in various countries (including America) and seen the failure. Time to move to what the experts are suggesting. Which brings me to the second point. Lots of these topics are extremely complex and contain a lot of nuance. Us non-experts can see a high level but sometimes these nuanced points matter a lot. So let's not be so aggressive in asserting how right we are. Also, we need to focus on unity. Mic drops and calling people names doesn't help us. We need nuanced and calm conversations. Our fellow citizens, no matter how crazy their beliefs, are not our enemies. Don't dehumanize people, that's divide and rule. Lastly, we need to stay focused. I think there is a new thing to be outraged about every other day. Let's talk about what the big important problems are and focus on those first. Let's recognize that doing so isn't dismissing the other problems. We only have so much bandwidth. Right now we have no such priority list, we're just jumping from thing to thing. Solving problems takes time (a thing we often forget). If our attention to the problem is shorter than the time it takes to solve the problem then we will never solve these problems.

Edit: One thing I wanted to add is that we can have different groups focus on different things. It's not a zero sum game. This is because not everyone is an expert in everything, and thus the utility they contribute isn't the same as every task they contribute to.

I think MS just has this reputation of being bad in the browser space. IE has been so terrible for years, why would I use MS browser.
To play Devil's (Elm's?) Advocate here: sometimes I wonder if the TypeScript promise of incrementally adding types to an existing JS code base is wishful thinking.

I'm at a company that's transitioning to TypeScript, and the reality is that you can't just flip a switch and have a well-typed codebase: if we just turn `strict` on, `tsc` gives us thousands and thousands of errors. And as we've gone through trying to annotate things, it's clear that in order to get various components to a state where they're properly type-safe, we'll need to almost completely rewrite them.

Compared to Rakuten, our codebase isn't even that huge or legacy - it's often very poorly written, but it's less than 50K lines and less than a couple of years old. No doubt the situation for Rakuten would be even worse; I'm sure huge swaths of their code would need to be trashed anyway.

If TypeScript is ultimately going to force you to rewrite - and still leave you with a less-robust solution - I could see why starting with a clean-slate with Elm would be appealing.

PlanetScale is the serverless relational database we have been waiting for all this time. It's truly excellent, and being based on the same tech that runs youtube, we know it will scale well.
Incoming hearsay, but I've heard conflicting things from RealSense integrators on what Intel is actually doing with this product over the longer term. Someone mentioned that ongoing R&D is being shuttered, but the depth camera product would still be available for purchase for a while. It would be nice to get some more clarity on what's actually happening.
So you create a TCP connection to your database over the public internet? Does it have an http api like aurora serverless/fauna/datastax astra?
All major cloud photo library providers do this scan server side, yes. This way offers more privacy for the end user… but evidently most people don’t realize that.

Kick your kids out of the house, sure. Tell them to go play in the yard, and then you'll get charged with a felony.

https://reason.com/2015/06/11/11-year-old-boy-played-in-his-...

Oh, but the parents weren't home that time, okay. Even though I was walking home from school or to my grandmother's house well before I turned 11.

Okay, well, just send them into the back yard to play, where they'll be safe and you can watch them from the window, and then CPS will investigate you and, even though it's ridiculous, you'll now have a complaint on file forever.

https://www.scarymommy.com/mom-child-services-investigation-...

Believe it or not, I don't want to helicopter parent my kid; he'll wander off on the playground, and if I need to see him I'll go look for him; otherwise he'll come find me, eventually. Still, the reality is that I can't actually let him out of my sight, not for his own safety but for the risk of some fucking Karen calling the police because I'm not holding his hands every goddamn minute.

So please don't go around telling people to act like you did when you were a kid, because I did the same thing too and I loved it, and now there's a pretty solid chance that that kind of behaviour would risk my kid getting taken away. Even if the chances of them going through with it were slim, my family doesn't need that kind of stress and bullshit and constant random checkups and more restrictions than ever.

Hell, my kid has known how to take the bus since he was three years old, but hey, even though it's statistically safer than driving I might still end up spending three years and $70,000 to convince some unaccountable government-appointed body that yes, my kids are safer taking the bus than anything else.

https://5kids1condo.com/we-won-common-sense-prevails-in-bus-...

Note: Here in Vancouver, we don't have school buses because we have such a great transit system, but kids aren't allowed to take it anyway so we still have to spend an hour or more out of our days every morning and in the middle of the afternoon to take kids to school. That's a huge problem when you're job hunting and you have to say "Oh but I won't be able to start work until 10 because there's no other way to get my kid to school than taking him myself or fighting for a spot at before/after school care with a 160-kid waitlist."

So yeah, you're not wrong, except that your advice is purely asinine in our ridiculous world of neighbours calling the police on kids instead of keeping an eye on them. Please think about things before you speak up.
Definitely agree with you on

Perhaps I have I missed this in all the discussions of Apple's latest move but has anyone considered the following questions.

Does Apple's solution only stop people from uploading illegal files to Apple's servers or does it stop them from uploading the files to any server.

If Apple intends to control the operation of a computer purchased from Apple after the owner begins using it, does Apple have a duty to report illegal files found on that computer and stop them from being shared (anywhere, not just through Apple's datacenters).

To me, this is why there is a serious distinction between a company detecting and policing what files are stored on their computers (i.e., how other companies approach this problem) and a company detecting and policing what files someone else's computer is storing and can transfer over the internet (in this case, unless I am mistaken, only to Apple's computers).

Mind you, I am not familiar with the details of exactly how Apple's solution works nor the applicable criminal laws so these questions might be irrelevant. However I was thinking that if Apple really wanted to prevent the trafficking of ostensibly illegal files then wouldn't Apple seek to prevent their transfer not only to Apple's computers but to any computer (and also report them to the proper authorities). What duty does Apple have if they can "see into the owner's computer" and they detect illegal activity. If Apple is in remote control of the computer, e.g., they can detect the presence/absence of files remotely and allow or disallow full user control through the OS, then does Apple have a duty to take action.
That’s by design to make justice more accessible. IIRC, you can petition the judge to adjourn the case and move it to normal court.

Also, I believe in small claims as a defendant you can appoint an attorney to represent you. I sued a tow operator in small claims court and the dude who showed up was definitely an attorney.
Who will decide what curriculum to invest in? QAnon adherents are in some cases aggressively campaigning for positions on school boards. This scares the shit out of me.
Probably for the extraordinarily low signal-to-noise ratio of the discussion that would follow.
I didn't mean to imply that rationally optimizing your decisions is a bad idea. Just that things are deeper and more complex.

Exercising might improve your mental health more than playing a video game for the same duration, but both activities will also affect many other "character stats" in various different ways.
Was this a pure engineering driven exercise? I hadn't heard that before and it doesn't match up with what I've heard about Apple's internal culture. The level of defensive pushback really makes me feel that they are very bought into the system.

Definitely would appreciate a link to anything substantial indicating that this was a bunch of eng in over their heads.
Almost nobody is a fan of the actual ISO 8601. It requires a big 'T' to separate the date from the time - people consider this ugly and rarely implement this in the wild. People mostly use RFC 3339 which allows using a space instead of the 'T'.

Both also require colons to separate hours and minutes and this makes it impossible to use in file names if you want to support accessing them from Windows.

I personally use the actual ISO 8601 (with the "T") wherever I can, simple YYYY-MM-DD-HH-mm-SS-ffffff where I need to support saving to the file system (but this is slightly harder for a human to read) and mostly RFC 3339 (with a space instead of the "T") wherever I need to display or to interop with tools written by other people. As for SQLite - I usually store every field (years, months,... seconds etc) in a separate integer column and create a view which adds an automatically generated RFC 3339 date/time column for simpler querying.
At what point is someone's wealth acquisition too much–$1b, $10b, $100b, $1t?
Maybe we can worry about things when and if they are implemented? If you don’t trust Apple it’s a moot discussion anyway.
This is great - I've caught myself saying 'Lovely Govly' out loud a few times...
Yeah exactly, that's what I meant!
Green was chosen because it's to what the human eye is most sensitive. Look at Fuji's X-trans[0], and there are also RGBW arrays that prioritize dynamic range.

All in all, the BFA is "good enough" most of the times. For the use cases where it isn't, you're either:

* Budget constrained and can't really afford not using BFA

* Able to (pay for and) use either a color wheel in front of your sensor, or go with prism + triple sensor.

* Bite the bullet and go with a "strange" color array. You'll probably need to work on the software side for demosaicing to get proper support and fix eventual artifacts.

> "data schema" conversations massively dominated the entirety of the development and testing time.

Agreed. JSON let's me know something is a number. That's great, but I still have to check for min/max,zero etc. A string? That's great, but I got to check it against a set of enums, and so forth. Basically, the "types" JSON gives you is about 20% of the work, and you're going to have to parse things into your own types anyway.

> What I would really like to see is a file format where the validity of the file could be established by only using the header.

Are you saying something like a checksum so not only is a schema provided but some method to verify that the data obeys the schema?

If you're talking about just some stronger shared ontology, I think that's a direction things will go. I call this concept "Type the world" or "World Wide Types". I'm starting to think something like GPT-N will be the primary author, rather than a committee of humans like Schema.org.
Honestly voting is high on my priority list. The reason is because I believe that voting will have a lot of downstream effects. It will make a lot of other things easier. But I don't believe we should be trying to change things at the national level at this point (that's down the line). I think we should be trying to implement systems like STAR and Approval at local levels. City, County, State. We know that these are the systems the experts are suggesting. So let's stop doing the same experiment we've seen fail a hundred times. And while the dragon is the end goal, if we can't defeat the low level monsters it would be insane to go fight the final boss.
It seems to me that the vast majority of people in forums don’t actually know how this system is implemented. Although people definitely seem more informed here than on Reddit.
