> So I'll rephrase: In the context of accomplishing a certain task, the accuracy of some information is crucial and the accuracy of other information is not. For instance, if I'm looking to buy a book about Andrea's experience, I care that she's a woman, that she lives in a western country similar to my own. It doesn't particularly matter to me, in this context, what she looks like, so if I see the wrong photo - it's no big deal.

This is a cherry-picked task. If we switch the task from "I'm looking to buy a book about Andrea's experience" to "I'm looking to know more about Andrea, including what she looks like" then the Google response is worse than an irrelevant one: it is a definitely wrong answer.

And our new task isn't something unlikely or fanciful: there are surely people who have read her book who want to know more about her and who might google her.

Google will surely remove this as they should.
If someone tries to kick out a window I don't think they should be allowed to fly ever again
> When we're exposed to a rewarding stimulus, the brain responds by releasing dopamine – which is why it's often called the "reward" chemical.

This is incorrect. Dopamine is not released as a response to a positive stimulus, it is released in anticipation of a positive stimulus.
This is probably due in significant part to sucrose depleting magnesium, glucose metabolism in general uses more magnesium. Even if one doesn't quit sugar immediately, supplementing magnesium can be of great help.
I'll add to the narrative. IT outsourcing has been an unmitigated disaster for Engineering departments I've been part of. Losing control over your own hardware and network, putting it into the hands of a cut-rate operation managed by a non-Engineer, it seems obvious. Necessary changes are too late to matter or never happen. Resources get locked in a closet to "keep Engineers from messing with them" which means to reboot the crashed server it takes a call to somebody in a different timezone who creates a 'ticket' that gets prioritized later and eventually happens next Tuesday.

I waited a month for a RAM upgrade so I could scan GB log files from lab hardware and solve an issue. Long after the need was past our (formerly self-directed) local IT guy came with the new RAM. I mentioned I'd long since had to work around it, and he just grunted. He'd heard it all. And been looking for work since the change.

This experience repeated again and again and again, and you see how the 'legend' builds.
For those who want to keep using their Apple devices, I highly recommend Nextcloud as an iCloud Photos alternative. I've been running an instance of it on a little Pine64 for quite some time now without any issues.

Though I'll still the say the crux of the issue is that the majority of users _won't_ have iCloud Photos disabled, and thus have their privacy violated.
These days the solutions seem to be to punish everyone aside from the abuser.
Handcuffs seem... insufficient when we're talking about someone allegedly kicking at a window.
Duck tape is harder to remove in case of an emergency. With the cuffs the latch is in a position well known to the crew so they can just be taken off.
Why do you guys insist on posting paywalled links here? Is it too much of an intellectual effort to post the outline link for this article, like I am doing now? https://outline.com/tprV7Z
I quit gradually, by making each step so small (e.g. no sodas in the evenings, switching to chocolate with less sugar content) that it never felt like I was making a major change. Anecdotally, it’s been the better part of a decade since I quit refined sugar completely (along with some other significant dietary and exercise regimen changes), and my health has improved tremendously. Haven’t noticed any major changes in energy levels, though.
I lived and worked in a small town in the Mojave for close to a decade. One of the few perks of living there was the dark sky - the milky way for example was eminently visible on most nights in a way I think most people never see.

The distinction there is that it's the server doing the matching and reporting, not the client. People expect remote servers to be accessible to government searches, but not their own personal devices.

This distinction is even codified in U.S. law. The government needs a warrant to search your phone, but only needs a subpoena to search a remote server that's storing your files[1].

But yes, I can see why that distinction might feel a little arbitrary at times, particularly in the modern age where cloud storage is so common. Perhaps the 4th amendment should cover third parties storing "papers, and effects" on a person's behalf.

> “Fluvoxamine is the only treatment that, if administered early, can prevent COVID-19 from becoming a life-threatening illness,”

Actually many front-line doctors have been using a multidrug treatment based on existing medicines to successfully reduce hospitalization and death since very early on in the pandemic. One key aspect is treating patients early in the symptomatic phase with a combination of antiviral, corticosteroid, and antithrombotic medications. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]

Many clinical trials have evaluated the suggested drugs in a single-drug treatment regime, but very few clinical trials have evaluated a multidrug treatment approach specifically focused on patients who are early in the symptomatic phase.

The passenger was able to escape from the handcuffs.
Now imagine more cities starting passing these laws. Gee, before you know it, it's less trouble to have an electric car.
Here's the thing. You might hate Apple for what they did. But I'm looking at the competition (Google, Amazon, Microsoft) and they're still worse for privacy in well-documented ways. It's an evil but it's still the least among evils.
I personally am not aware of how the perceptual hash values are distributed in it's keyspace. Perceptual hashes can have issues with uniform distribution, since they are somewhat semantic and most content out there is too. As such, I wouldn't make statements about how often collisions would occur.
My main issue is that after a few months without long carbs/sugars the prefab high sugar restaurant desert buffe don't taste any good.
It could possibly be a modern "Folie à deux" or shared delusion: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folie_%C3%A0_deux

Essentially, for whatever reason, people working in the Cuban embassy started feeling ill with mysterious symptoms and that caught on. It could have originally been something like sick building syndrome: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sick_building_syndrome

But then people latched on to the idea that it was caused by some kind of sonic device or hitherto unknown weapon targeting embassies. Someone starts to feel sick? Oh my god, it could be Havana Syndrome! Now that you mention it Becky, I'm starting to feel queasy too...

A parallel is how the notion that MSG causes headaches caught on. One doctor suggested that there is a link between eating Chinese restaurant food flavored with MSG and headaches. But "Thirty years after the Chinese restaurant syndrome was debunked, stigmas about MSG persist." People who believe this will legitimately start to feel sick if you feed them MSG, even if you didn't actually put any MSG in and lie that you did.

Now I'm not saying this is what is actually happening because we just don't know yet.

Edit: And, most of the symptoms, headache, nausea, anxiety, insomnia, are all really common side effects and can be caused by just about anything.
Interesting, I did not encounter such discrepancies in my work with these tools.

There could be multiple reasons for the degraded performance:

- Are we comparing apples to apples here (heh), e.g. ResNet-50 vs ResNet-50?

- Was the ONNX model ported from TF? There are known issues with that path (https://onnxruntime.ai/docs/how-to/tune-performance.html#my-...)

- Have you tried tuning an execution provider for your specific target platform?(https://onnxruntime.ai/docs/reference/execution-providers/#s...)
I believe the hash comparisons are made on Apple's end. Then the only way to get hashes will be a data breach on Apple's end (unlikely but not impossible) or generating it from known CSAM material.
This is a legitimate concern. Someone could have a hard time breathing. That said, what is the option when someone starts shouting obscenities throughout a flight? Tranquilize them?
This isn't really the forum to look for that info, though I suspect someone has answers.

There's a podcast (with associated content) called Radical Personal Finance where the guy talks extensively about pursuing alternate citizenship/residency, typically with a focus on Central America (in part because it's the culture he's familiar with, being from Florida.)
Isn't visceral fat normal
The "optics" here might be the opposite: United's leadership is craven and terrified of bad press.

Anyway I guess when flying United I'll have to bring my own duct tape!
One of these passengers tried to kick out a window.

This was a child. A child tried to kick out a window. And to be absolutely frank: I fully expect airplane windows to be able to withstand a kick from a child.

I understand it probably wasn't on a whim, but surely, there are better options in this case.
Um...if you're being physically disruptive on an aircraft in flight, and the only way to subdue you is physical restraint, I think nearly any non-lethal (and, ideally, minimally injurious) method is warranted.

This isn't like when that Kentucky doctor got dragged off an airplane in 2017. Clear and present threats to a planeload of people require proportionate measures.

Honestly, given the way people are behaving today, I think every plane should have security personnel. Flight attendants should not be responsible for subduing violent passengers.
Quick executions by a crowd involved in the situation without adequate time to reflect or examine evidence. What could go wrong?
Try magnesium, inositol and possibly l-theanine for such issues.
> Given that almost exclusively US officials have acquired these symptoms, I would like to hear the arguments that one would give for it not being a weapon.

Only US officials work in US military/intelligence (which all embassies are to an extent) installations. If it's something they deployed, e.g. some new surveillance or security tech, it makes sense that it would affect people working there. And the US intelligence community would probably rather have a few people get inconvenienced than not use their toys.
Single-player oriented games IMO have more attention to detail in this regard. Back then games came on a disc in a box. Now it's almost assumed by default that a studio will push out a game and fix the bugs later.

"Multiplayer" at the time really meant split screen with friends. It was assumed that a good chunk of time would be spent playing the game solo. So they couldn't slack on that part of the game.

Now it's all multiplayer-first, and instead of paying a one-time fee for the game, warts and all, you're nickel and dimed endlessly for "season passes", "custom skins" and other eye-rolling 'bonus' content.
What conclusion do you draw from these data?
Only buy ice cream in those mini half serving containers. It makes it a lot easier to stop eating after one or two.
Tell me about it. My grandfather used to put 10 packets of sugar in his coffee. We used to joke with him "You gonna have some coffee with your sugar this morning?"
For software engineers it's not unheard of, but that will be at banks (in specific cases), or FAANG (who have offices in Zurich, typically)

EDIT: I'm a Swiss software engineer if that wasn't clear. I don't make that much though unfortunately :)
... It was a child. A child "tried to kick out the window".

I expect airline windows to be able to withstand the kick of a child. Even if they were an older child.
I can recommend a great article answering that, however unfortunately it's in German [1].

But the gist is that there are two major unsolved challenges.

One is finding a material stable enough to let the reactor run for longer times (all experiments like ITER only plan to run the reaction for very short times, which is okay for research, but not useful for real energy).

The other is finding a way to produce enough tritium for the reaction. It is expected that ITER alone will consume all the tritium that is available and that is currently only produced in some special kind of nuclear reactor. The idea is that eventually fusion reactors will create this tritium themselve, but noone has figured out how to practically do that.

> I can get my photos scanned against a CSAM database... or I can have Google tracking my location constantly

That's a false dichotomy. There are competitors offering various levels of maturity and functionality. Jolla exists, PinePhone, Xiaomi, Librem 5, dumb phones, POTS landline, no phone...

And yes, Linux on the desktop is also a valid choice. It most likely won't track you either.
I think it would be more effective to have cities pass laws that say what follows:

"We will ban gas stations when more than m out of n nearby cities have either banned gas stations or passed this law."

>But people sometimes report experiencing negative side effects when they try to eat less sugar. Headaches, fatigue or mood changes, which are usually temporary, are among the symptoms.

I did keto for a few months a few years ago, and I did experience this. They call it the "keto flu" because it apparently happens to most people when they first start the diet. It was unpleasant, but it didn't last long, and I felt _incredible_ for the rest of my time on the diet. I lost weight, had a six pack, and had more energy than ever. It's definitely hard (nothing replaces the texture of real bread), but I do wish more people would try it, just to see if it has the same benefits for them that I experienced.
>nausea, severe headaches, ear pain, fatigue, insomnia and sluggishness

all these symptoms are virtually indistinguishable from any meal at The Cheesecake Factory, so call me skeptical. Its also an attack that cannot be detected by the worlds most sophisticated military, so, occhams razor.. the question im interested in hearing the answer to:

can you retire with full pension early from civil service in the embassy if you can prove a medical affliction or disability.

also worth noting the research on the matter isnt exactly concrete. no peer reviewed studies exist to even corroborate an attack at all.

Handcuffs are specifically made for cuffing hands whereas tape is made to hold stuff together.

If injuries are a concern, there are also medical-grade restraints that are less dangerous than metal handcuffs.
any chance the NSA/CIA is simply using a surveillance tool which causes this to those near by?

I mean I would guess this is self inflicted.
No, you couldn't. This is only checking images you upload to your iCloud photo library.

Why would you save tons of gray blobs to your photo library? Why would gray blobs look like child porn? Why would Apple reviewers think gray blobs are child porn? Why would the NCMEC think gray blobs are child porn? Why would law enforcement spend time arresting someone for gray blobs?
> What is missing from Lazarus' editor?

Perhaps it actually is good, I probably just didn't dedicate enough time to discover all its features. Or maybe all the cool stuff was added right after I tried it (it's been some years already). I mostly mean context-aware completion suggestions, refactoring and code navigation. I already can't remember what exactly was missing (I didn't find) when I tried.

> I never used IntelliJ but from my experience with Visual Studio

VisualStudio + ReSharper ≈ IntelliJ.
I was waiting to read a trustworthy review, so just watched the video. Glad to hear that it's pretty good. Build quality was what I was worried about but it sounds generally good.

My only other question is Linux driver support. There was a brief mention about fingerprint scanner in Linux, but I really appreciate that Thinkpads under something like Fedora just work out of the box. Hopefully Framework will have similar support - it seems like the sort of laptop linux hackers would like to be using!
That's the whole point. A president elected 21 years ago decided to make it about nation building. Future presidents had to deal with the reality of the situation. Biden was the only one who pulled the bandaid off and finished this mess.
Yes but police have organizations that manage them that are ran by people that can be influenced or jailed for doing the wrong thing. Owning a robot army is a totally different level of power over people. Robots do exactly what their owners tell them to do and don't have a Union or any group to answer too.
Stuff like telling people that stopping global warming means they need to be uncomfortably hot all summer and uncomfortably cold all winter is why so many people don't care about stopping it. Our goal for this should be to get heat pumps and renewable electricity rolled out everywhere, and then let people keep their houses at whatever temperatures they want without contributing to global warming.
I think they're aesthetically pleasing, personally. Both solar and wind farms.
> I know what I look like in a shop. I know what the clerk knows about me.

Just be clear, we are still exactly talking about a website owner tracking what somebody looked at and passing said information on by utilizing unique phone numbers in case they call? Because I can't help but feel like we escalated this thing a notch to vent on pent-up feelings about privacy in general (which we might actually agree on, but yeah, different scope)
But from the submission (perhaps edited since):

> Unruly flyers aboard United Airlines may be detained by seat belts and plastic hand cuffs, but duct tape won’t be one of the tools utilized
It works well so far. Android Studio works just fine, and Emacs (doom-emacs in Evil mode) is obviously well supported in Linux. My professional development work still happens on a MacBook Pro, as my employer drives that choice.
The brain can also use a different engery source: ketone bodies. They can be produced from fatty acids. The body starts doing this when glucose levels fall too low.

You can function just fine for prolonged periods of time without ingesting any glucose sources.

It does take the body a while to adjust and ramp up ketone production, which can lead to feeling drained/low energy and induces sugary-rich food cravings.

But that mostly subsides after a few days.

Nice side effect: it is quite common to get a certain sense of eurphoria and well-being after not getting sugar for a few days. The current hypothesis is that one of the ketone bodies (BHB) might have similar effects on the brain as GHB, which is a psychoactive drug. (they have a similar structure, namely they are isomers)

Personally, I feel much more energetic and healthy when skipping carbs and fruits entirely. Even mentally! At least after the initial adjustment. Sadly it's hard to fall back into eating sugar all the time.
It is criminal the way YouTube et al suppressed propagation of those facts.

Large houses with open green spaces seem much more attainable in the US then Western Europe. Additionally, if you're an American SWE you would have pretty great healthcare benefits anyway. In terms of average care outcomes, moving to Europe might be a step backwards in that regards.

Excessive visceral fat is related to insulin resistance, so it's a sign there's a disease process going on.
I can't really see why you couldn't have chargers attached to a convenience store or restaurant. It would seem to make a lot of sense.

But I had totally cut out processed sugar from my diet and I have always had a sweet tooth.

Might do it again sometime.
That's not what Apple's plans state. The comparisons are done on phone, and are only escalated to Apple if there are more than N hash matches, at which point they are supposedly reviewed by Apple employees/contractors.

Otherwise, they'd just keep doing it on the material that's actually uploaded.
That's at the end of a summary of all 3 features. Each one has the specific OSs listed though:

Idk, I feel like caffeine is just as addictive as nicotine, and we allow kids to consume it. The health effects are different, certainly, but just try taking coffee away from a lifelong drinker.
Remarkable how old and productive he is despite bad diet and little eexercise.. makes you wonder. Or he is just a outlier due to su1perior genes.
I'm reasonably confident that Google listens to every conversation I have within earshot of my phone. It isn't uncommon to find things in my news feed that are related to things I have no interest in but a friend or coworker had just mentioned to me in passing.
> when they got out of bed. Instead, they go for coffee and cigarettes

I believe, hundreds of millions people start their day with sugary cereal or some similar "healthy" sugar dessert.

Also, from my experience of losing weight on low carb diets, dropping sugar "cold turkey" leads to absolutely brutal sugar cravings.
For the most part, everyone is terrible at estimation [0], yet in business we do it all the time and consistently fall into the same traps. I wonder how an organization would be fare if they tried a top down approach to avoid estimation (or at least treat is as dirty process it is). Would this even be possible with the way companies are run today?

I'd be happier if they simply removed their stock apps.
I would be concerned about what people think when I tell them that I'm going to extremes to avoid having my devices detect and report CSAM, even if I swear it's purely for privacy reasons.
It is NIMBYism. I'm describing NIMBYism.
And that was the basis of an in-joke in the movie The Frisco Kid when Gene Wilder called out to the landsmann !
It’s terrifying that at intense amount it surpasses cocaine.
I still remember after I cut sugar, I can see significant weight loss and it improve my health ever since. Although it’s not easy, but it’s worth it
