On top of that, what happens if a court/government orders them to give them all the current data about people with matches, regardless of the 30 matches.

They can't say if it is or not a match so they have to go after the individuals. Is that enough evidence for a warrant?

Someone in the court thinks it's true and can't prosecute?, oh, it got leaked.

Well, we are already hitting pretty strong limits in terms of corpus size.

For reference, GPT-3 has 175 billion parameters. That's a few TB (uncompressed).

GPT-3 was trained on 45 TB of text. Most of it comes from 8 years of web crawling, and a significant chunk of the remainder comes from online book corpora [0]. At some point you just run out of human-written text to train on.

You can't just keep making the model bigger (by orders of magnitude I mean) without scaling the input data the same. And at some point we just run out of the latter.

I buy a house with a mortgage, I owe $1k a month or whatever to this company to pay my mortgage. If I pay with bitcoin it is a capital gains event to convert it to USD and I would owe capital gains taxes on the $1k per month or whatever my payment is.

It's the same as if I were to convert the bitcoin to dollars on my own and pay via dollars. Taxes are still paid in this scenario just as they would be if I converted the bitcoin to dollars and did whatever else with it...

Why so angry about this?
Apple does have some degree of leverage over the CCP too. I realize its not possible today... but in 3-5 years, Apple may be in a position to move some/all of their manufacturing elsewhere.

The direct job losses are one obvious problem for the CCP but a company like Apple saying "We're moving production to Taiwan/Vietnam/US because of security risks in China" would be catastrophic for the (tech) manufacturing industry as a whole in China. No sane Western based CEO will want to be seen taking that security gamble.

Do I think Apple would do that and forgo the massive Chinese smartphone market? That's another story.
At this point, with all the easily producible collisions, the Gov't could just modify some CSAM images to match the hash of various leaked documents/etc they want to track. Then they don't even have to go thru special channels. Just submit the modified image for inclusion normally! (Not quite that simple, as they would still need to find out about the matches, but maybe that's where various NSA intercepts could help...)
Is documentation for the provenance of funds, typically required in all cash real estate transactions?
Yes, I can. This is just one possible strategy: there are many others, where different things are done, and where things are done in a different order.

You use the collider [1] and one of the many scaling attacks ([2] [3] [4], just the ones linked in this thread) to create an image that matches the hash of a reasonably fresh CSAM image currently circulating on the Internet, and resizes to some legal sexual or violent image. Note that knowing such a hash and having such an image are both perfectly legal. Moreover, since the resizing (the creation of the visual derivative) is done on the client, you can tailor your scaling attack to the specific resampling algorithm.

Eventually, someone will make a CyberTipline report about the actual CSAM image whose hash you used, and the image (being a genuine CSAM image) will make its way into the NCMEC hash database. You will even be able to tell precisely when this happens, since you have the client-side half of the PST database, and you can execute the NeuralHash algorithm.

You can start circulating the meme before or after this step. Repeat until you have circulated enough photos to make sure that many people in the targeted group have exceeded the threshold.

Note that the memes will trigger automated CSAM matches, and pass the Apple employee's visual inspection: due to the safety voucher system, Apple will not inspect the full-size images at all, and they will have no way of telling that the NeuralHash is a false positive.

Have you seen it for practically a month straight? 40 degrees is average high in Las Vegas from June to September, and it’s only getting below 30 degrees from November to March. In Houston, Atlanta, Miami or New Orleans, it’s above 30 from May to October, and it’s even worse than in Vegas, because these places are much more humid, making the heat less bearable, as sweating doesn’t really cool you off.

Seriously, climate in Netherlands is in no way comparable to most of US.
There is a way to price it, there are perpetual futures market for popular coins. You would pay the premium for those futures but by shorting or buying futures you can lock in value within a few percent.

For example, if i expect 1 bitcoin 10 years from now, I sell a future contract promising to sell 1 bitcoin at $45,000. If the price falls 5,000 over 10 years, the value of my contract is now worth $5,000 plus the 40,000 value of the coin. If I am on the opposite side and have to pay in bitcoin, I can buy a futures contract for 1 bitcoin at 45,000. If the price of bitcoin rises I am offset by the value of the futures cotnract and if the price falls the negative value of the futures contract locks my price at ~45,000.

The cost here is the premium of the futures contracts, which of course could make it more expensive to operate a crypto mortgage in the long run.
At my company, the biggest pain points we've run into with GitHub Actions are all centered around the many lacking aspects of permission handling.

- You can't pull in private dependencies published from other repos (for example, packages published on repo A used as a dependency on repo B) without using a private access token.

- You can't use git pulls from other repos (for example, repo B using `orgname/repoA#123456` as a dependency in package.json) without using a private access token, and it's a pain in the ass to make it work across workflow steps.

- You can't allow Dependabot to run as a trusted user, which makes it impossible to actually use any of the workarounds for the above issues with it.

- You can't create PRs to publish changes across repos (such as automatically keeping some set of files in sync) without using a private access token.

There are other complications, but those are the biggest ones.
> so in theory they can control what you do with it.

And yet, that isn't happening to the same degree as visa or mastercard.

So, for whatever reason, visa and mastercard are currently, successfully, forcing OnlyFans to do this kind of policy change, whereas coinbase is not.

When the actual rubber meets the road, crypto is defacto, not as censored as visa or mastercard.
> If PH is having trouble processing any form of credit card, a smaller company will have no chance at all. We're seeing a sterilization of legitimate porn on the internet, done by legitimate tax paying western companies. It'll be left to whoever can operate beyond those constraints, which is kind of a sad state of affairs for free speech, separation of church and state, and policing in general.

Welcome to the "free(ish) market." As I've said before, people love to say they're in favor of the "free market," until they get one. There is no law preventing any payment processor from accepting clients in the adult content space. They do it simply because of risk and to protect their corporate image.
It depends on how many profiles there are. If there are 100 profiles, and a specific 19% made up 25% of deletions, then that could be just chance. If there are 1M profiles, on the other hand, then it's definitely biased.
> What if we stopped relentlessly cataloging and indexing information about every single person on the planet in a way that anyone can search instantaneously?

It wouldn't eliminate this problem, assuming you consider it a problem. A lot of the images floating around aren't tied to a name. Anyone can save a file and re-use it in some other context.

It's for sure a game-changer(!) for "welcome to this new planet with some iron and copper next to each other: let me cook some interesting resource that I need (e-mag are my go-to because it seems one can never have enough of those)

As a QoL improvement, it's also handy for "oh, look: titanium -- let the drones lay out 15 smelters with their power poles to exfiltrate that resource"

Some of the screenshots folks have done about power production are insaneo -- to the point their GPU starts to drag from the game ticks :-)

I use kind with podman running rootless, it only works on systems with cgroup2 enabled. But it's very cool. Conventional k8s with docker has a number of security gotchas that stem from it effectivly running the containers as root.
With rootless podman k8s, it is easy to provide all your devs with local k8s setups without handing them root/sudo access to run it. This is something that has only recently started working right as more container components and runtimes started to support cgroup2.

Yes we definitely see a major use case in public projects which are notoriously wasteful and (sometimes) corrupt. Blockchain allows provenance of the data and the ability to have a better view of where the money goes. The audit capabilities are major benefit in situations like the one you describe....We're putting together some official case studies and we will share them. One of our clients is a billion dollar construction company that is using 2 of our products. They anticipate we will save them $1M+ this year as well as improving the budget and schedule outcome on their projects. Construction has over 150 typical workflows so the results here are significant.
Here's a reason to start from scratch: You don't need to dig through the complex, customized setup of someone else and figure it all out. You also don't need to learn unfamiliar software without even knowing what parts are integrated by default and what's customized.

Starting from a clean setup means I know exactly what every part of my configuration does. I can still use a default Vim setup on a server because I started from that and added every change myself step by step as I learned new things about the editor.

> Good artists copy, great artists steal. Bad artists do neither.

The "stealing" part of that phrase, in its original meaning, implies deep understanding of what's being acquired. So, basically an extension of what I was just describing.
Also I'd call Vim more a tool than art.
I've had the curse/blessing of having a few close calls at a rather young age, and I'd like to add to this a bit:

>Don't ignore your dreams, but also critically examine your dreams to ensure they're healthy and would actually bring you happiness

My "dreams" in life drastically changed after almost dying a couple times. They went from all revolving around being the smartest, richest, most successful person possible, to being the happiest, kindest, most supportive person possible. (I know, I know, terribly cliché. But so true.)

If you have unhealthy dreams, the rest of the items on that list become practically impossible to achieve. So make sure to stop and examine them critically from time to time.
Exactly, you can't clean up the OF brand because its brand as it is commonly known is 18 to 30yr olds selling nudes. And this seems to be its big customer demographic. There is no significant "other brand" to split off. If it wants to start a Patreon competitor with the same backend fine, but that's a new brand. It's literally a meme among younger people: "oh yeah that OF charge it's a cooking class" or "yoga sessions" or some shit. This is the Colgate Dinner problem: you can't apply a toothpaste brand to frozen food, you can't apply an amateur porn brand to patreon stuff. If i'm a chick trying to sell some non-porn subscription content I cannot use that brand because everyone will think it is porn and write me off as another thot.

Well... You're not wrong, anyway. These forums are filled with dysfunctional people who have caused a lot of pain and suffering to their children. They're not good people, by any metric.

But I disagree that it's an uninteresting topic. The adult children of these parents are often struggling in their own lives with problems that directly tie back to their dysfunctional parenting.

For those adult children, it's critical to the healing process to come to an understanding that their parents behavior was not OK or normal.

If this isn't interesting to you, personally, that's OK... But then wouldn't it make more sense to just sit out of the discussion, and find another topic to comment on? By dismissing it, you run the risk of coming off as insensitive or disrespectful to the people who do benefit from participating in this kind of discussion.

> No, the first thing should be to assess your situation: what are the goals, who are the players, how are they feeling, what are the major challenges, etc. Only from that starting point can you have any hope of putting together a sane process. And once you do you should not settle too deeply into the comfort of a familiar rhythm—yes regular cadences and rituals can be a huge boon for your team's productivity, but as manager your job is to be constantly surveying the landscape and seeing if there's a way to do better.

This is great, but you also don't want to keep changing things. A predictable, well-understood process can be valuable even if it's not optimal, because the people involved don't have to think, and everyone understands where something came from and can have reasonable expectations about where it's going to.
Better: any made up story may become true eventually.

> I'm sure they've looked at their numbers and they find the non-porn providers are more profitable to them, especially if it means they can lower their processing fees.

I highly doubt this. There’s like no way a site that’s known for porn makes more money on what Patreon does. 99.999% impossible.

> Booting the porn providers will likely also make it easier to recruit more non-porn providers.

Pornhub can allow regular content but nobody is going to ditch YouTube, especially PG content creators, because of the name association.
> They do it simply because of risk and to protect their corporate image.

They're only allowed to operate because they're licensed by the government, and the government can yank their license at any time.

I love the simplicity - this tickles my brain in the same way that Firebase did when I first saw it :) Well done! Looking forward to playing with it.
Define parsing. I'm still going through GB of data in thousands of files and building complex reports, and data structures for scientific analysis. Just because I don't need thousands of lines of code to navigate edge cases doesn't mean I'm not parsing .CSV files.

I think you should accept some people think of it differently.

And let's be frank here. OF is probably a viable financial opportunity - on average - for a small number of more attractive that normal people, and it's probably weighted towards younger women. I'd love to have hard data to present to you, but I can't find it.

I have literally zero problem with people who want to use OF to support themselves. However, let's agree 1) that some people for whom it would be a viable financial option find it objectionable and 2) it's a less viable financial option for some, even if they don't find it objectionable.

I think that groups 1 & 2 in there should still be able to work a 40 hour job and pay for food and rent, and still be able to save something to retire if they want to. And they probably should fear starving or dying of exposure even if they don't have a job.

Call it unrealistic, but I prefer to fix that problem, too.
So is psychopathy, sociopathy, and narcissism, something we find in the CEO's of companies who've done essentially unfixable damage to Earth's ecosystem and killed/severely damaged millions of people along the way with zero recourse.
