ASCII has special delimiters 0x1E Record Separator and 0x1F Unit Separator to avoid conflicting with values, but they have never gained widespread adoption.
Isn't there a small difference between these? A) They scan everything I have released to google photos B) They scan everything that exists on my device

Psychologically, you'll feel a difference in what you accept between the two, I think

I hope they don't. As I see it the success of Krita was precisely that, being specifically targeted at digital painting.

Now, GIMP could be way better at what it does and I don't even think their biggest issue is their UI, as they have done some work on it. But for the recent interactions I had about it regarding some tweet from Snowden about GIMP on a somewhat recent thread on r/linux (nice place to have some decent discussion btw, I was banned from it), it seems not only devs don't have the funds, they don't want GIMP to be anymore successful. Like, I got a fair amount of vitriol just for mentioning that it was so weird that GIMP offers no tools to draw geometric shapes - you have to fill circular/rectangular selections to do so (!), when in pretty much every other image editor there are specific tools to draw rectangles, circles, ovals and the like.
Doing what you don't want to do, is hard though.

Conducting the scan on the user's device instead of on the companies server is more private.

Apple can't decrypt the results of the scan until the ~30 image threshold is crossed and a human review is triggered.

Given Google's reluctance to hire humans when a poorly performing algorithm is cheaper, are they turning over every single false positive without a human review?
Note that they're not pushing it to devices that consumers have purchased, just running it on their cloud services. I think it's an important distinction here with what Apple is doing.
No, that happens on Google's servers and isn't an agent in my pocket that runs on and invades my personal property. It's also only for videos.

> You may have already noticed that links to the package reference docs for the standard library on golang.org/pkg now redirect to their equivalents on pkg.go.dev, which is a better experience today and will continue to improve.

Facts not in evidence.

The "classic" golang.org documentation was simple, easy to search, and consistent across user agents. The pkg.go.dev documentation is... well, bluntly: strictly worse.

There are longstanding bugs in basically all user agents. The README for a module is unavoidably truncated by default and requires a click to expand. And the navigation panel on the left is only rendered beyond a certain browser width, and changes as you scroll -- in total, a UX disaster.

I'm so frustrated by these changes. It's one thing to update the look and feel of a site over time. I understand and that's fine. But this was clearly a design by committee, with no single coherent direction. The net effect ticks a lot of boxes but is just functionally worse.
Please show evidence where the feature can be turned off (without having to completely disable iCloud photos).
Wow, hey folks as the author here, I'm really surprised to see this pop up on HN.

Is it false information to say kids don’t need a covid vaccine for example?
Why would Google take advice from non-employees? Committees like this only serve to shield Google from criticism. They aren't meant to accomplish anything.

There's also the issue of where you would put all the spoils from tunneling. Historically that was in the ocean and rivers to make more land, but this is frowned upon for a variety of reasons now, the least being that not all types of soil work well as landfill.
Yeah, their layering seems much more intuitive to me, and so powerful, allowing you to build complex multi-pass filters very easily.
> Apple found a way to preserve that privacy but still catch the bad people doing very bad things to children.

They're not going to find predators, all they are going to find is people incompetent enough to have years old (otherwise how would it end up at NCMEC?) CSAM on their iPhones and dumb enough to have iCloud backup turned on. To catch actual predators they would need to run AI scanning on phones for all photos and risk a lot of false positives by parents taking photos of their children on a beach.

Plus a load of people who will inadvertently have stuff that "looks" like CSAM on their devices because some 4chan trolls will inevitably create colliding material and spread it in ads etc. so it ends up downloaded in browser caches.

All of this "let's use technology to counter pedos" is utter, utter crap that is not going to save one single child and will only serve to tear down our freedoms, one law at a time. Want to fight against pedos? Make photos of your airbnb, hotel and motel rooms to help identify abuse recording locations and timeframes, and teach children from an early age about their bodies, sexuality and consent so that they actually have the words to tell you that they are being molested.

> in some cases even the defendant's lawyers don't usually see the images themselves in preparation for a trial, just a description of the contents

Man that seems horrible. So you just have to trust the description is accurate? You’d think there’d at least be a “private viewing room” type thing (I get the obvious concern of not giving them a file to take home)
College doesn't matter as much as your high school gpa. If you just let people in because of skin color they'll end up doing worse than if they had gone into an otherwise lucrative field that better fit their abilities.

The college sports complex has led to many young men being enrolled in school without a academic ability solely for their athletics. The schools make money off them and then they drop out. You can guess which races these affect.

The thing is that this is a better and more privacy preserving technique.

Their hubris is in not seeing or thinking that they will be able to stand up to all kinds of abuses of this system that its mere existence will invite; their hubris is also in thinking that they will be able to perfectly and without mistakes manage and overview a system making accusations so heinous that even the mere act of accusing destroy people's lives and livelihoods.

I didn't expect justifications.

I just wanted to point out how wrong you were, and how petulant your reaction was when it was pointed out (several times), just in case it may help open your eyes. Obviously it didn't.
Yep, you got me. I'm actually a trapeze artist moonlighting on these forums.

A CSV file represents the exact digits that are to be stored. You have unlimited precision. You could even store irrational numbers, equations, or mix data types in a column. OTOH, you have to make sure the delimiting character is not present in the data - that can be pretty easy, if you use the field-separator character in ASCII, or even just a \t. I've even seen people terminate fields with ^8675309| because they felt confident no data would contain Jenny's number.

A database, like Excel, likes to conform data. This is usually awesome! But sometimes, it's not.
Apple inspects every file on the local device Before its uploaded. It’s just pinky promise only matched with the on device database when an upload is intended.

> Limitarianism is the view that no-one should enjoy more than an upper limit of some valuable goods or resources

> Plato's Socrates identifies the ‘endless acquisition of money’ (Plato, 1997b, 373d) as the main cause of civil unrest and war.

> In his last dialogue, the Laws, Plato gives a more or less complete limitarian account with a specification of both a lower and an upper threshold. According to this account, ‘extreme poverty and wealth must not be allowed to arise in any section of the citizen-body’ (Plato, 1997a, 744d).

> Many theories of ethics and theories of political morality invoke a principle of sufficiency–the idea that no-one should suffer because of poverty or destitution. Generally, this view entails a lower threshold level above which every member of a society should be raised (necessaries), but in some cases it also involves an upper threshold above which individual property should be redistributed in one form or another (superfluities).
I think they are still operate pretty much like a separate entity. But yes, I really wish there are at least 2 full time compiler developer at Github working on RubyVM.
CSV is accessible to programmers and non-programmers alike. HDF5 and SQLite require some programming ability and special software to interact with the data as they are not just text files like CSV.

Or break down into less toxic substances, or things that are more likely to get excreted.
Correct. I'm not sure how that's a distinction from "you can't turn it off" though. I believe they've been doing this scan server-side for quite some time already.
This is new for Apple's customers. And its new in that the device you bought and paid for is nosing through your files.

Apple is introducing a reverse 'Little Snitch' where instead of the app warning you what apps are doing on the network, the OS is scanning your photos. Introducing a 5th columnist into a device that you've bought and paid for is a huge philosophical jump from Apple's previous stances on privacy, where they'd gone as far as fighting the Feds about trying to break into terrorist's iPhones.
> B) They scan everything that exists on my device

No ... They scan everything that I have released to apple photos that exists on my device.

Same scan - different place.
True, but if you don't trust the code generating the data, then any and every data format is suspect.
Apple controls the hardware, software, and cloud service. It was always a pinky promise that they wouldn't look at your files. I don't know why we should doubt that pinky promise less today than we did a month ago.
The images being scanned are the ones that go to iCloud.

The Google page has a section later down that also says they use hashing of images.
Isn't the default on Android these days that all images get uploaded ("backed up") to Photos? And how many users are actually altering defaults?

As has been repeated over and over, apple only scans photos that are part if icloud photos (ie, uploaded).

Don't want your photo's scanned, don't sync them to icloud. Seriously! Please include the actual system when discussing this system, not your bogeyman system.

"To help address this, new technology in iOS and iPadOS* will allow Apple to detect known CSAM images stored in iCloud Photos."

To increase privacy - they perform the scan on device prior to upload.
Why? Is there something different in your mind that startups like these tend to do?

It seems to me that in the freemarket you can either create a "need", broadly construed, or facilitate access to a need that already exists. What else is there?
I've taken a look at the screenshots and discovered the fact SerenityOS supports theming. This makes me want to share my opinion on this: big light elements in the dark theme (like the display frame in the display settings) and big dark elements in the light theme (like the terminal) are annoying (in addition dark terminal also can be very hard to read when the sun shines straight into your display). Although both of the examples I have given look this way because this is the classic way for them to look, I'd love to see an option to automatically style everything (the terminal specifically, the display settings decoration doesn't matter much but it can also be fixed just to make it perfect) them in accordance with the system theme gamma.

In fact this is why I don't use (on Linux and Windows) dark themes actually: because there are many apps which don't support dark themes and look like huge white bulbs when your system is dark (and most of the apps which do support dark themes still require manual re-configuration every morning/evening instead of just complying to the OS-level switch).
The only thing Apple scans are files you upload to iCloud Photos.

If you turn off iCloud Photos, nothing is scanned.

Microsoft scans everything.

>The system that scans cloud drives for illegal images was created by Microsoft and Dartmouth College and donated to NCMEC. The organization creates signatures of the worst known images of child pornography, approximately 16,000 files at present. These file signatures are given to service providers who then try to match them to user files in order to prevent further distribution of the images themselves, a Microsoft spokesperson told NBC News. (Microsoft implemented image-matching technology in its own services, such as Bing and SkyDrive.)

Just extracting string views can be fast, but converting numbers to and from text is very slow.
> because you can prioritize gathering brightness signal over color signal, so you get more detailed photo

I wonder how long until phone cameras are purely monochrome, and apply ML to add the "correct" color in post-processing.

Actually, wasn't there some phone a few years ago with one high-res black-and-white sensor and one low-res color sensor, and it combined them through some tricky to produce a sharp color image?
Where's the line though? Would you be upset that the Dropbox client scanned things before uploadng it? What about the Google Drive client JS?

> The patriot act deserves another look and possible edit.

once you give the gov power, it is never given back to the people.
Here's the reason for the sudden uproar: The scanning of things on third party servers was just barely tolerated by a lot of people, whether it's for advertising purposes or government intrusion. People accept it because it's considered reasonable for these third parties to scan data in exchange for providing a service for free (e.g. Google), or because they need to have some degree of accountability for what is on their servers.

When that scanning gets moved from the cloud to being on your device, a boundary is violated.

When that boundary is violated by a company who makes extreme privacy claims like saying that privacy is a "fundamental human right"[1], yes, people will "lose their minds" over it. This shouldn't be shocking at all.

JSON Lines is a specified format that answers those questions. https://jsonlines.org/ Seems like it qualifies to the level of authority you're requiring.
No misconstrual needed. This technology is genuinely bad. It scans images against an arbitrary government-owned black-box database. There’s no guarantee that it’s only CSAM.

Leaving aside this example, sometimes a middleman is useful, aggregating what is otherwise disaggregated into a single location.

But if its primary function is to act as a portal into some other single system, then the problem is that other system. It also means that your business model is predicated on not fixing that system-- sort of like how H&R block and TurboTax lobby against simpler tax returns because they act as a portal to a complex system, and if that system is simplified then they are no longer necessary.

Govly may end up being useful, but I expect that if it really catches on then in a decade they would find themselves arguing against meaningful procurement reform designed to streamline the process. Maybe I'm too cynical though.

Then why the outrage if they're the same?
