As far as I'm aware, this system is not new. It is only moving from the cloud to the local device. If the cloud was already compromised, which it seems like it would be in your logic since all the same reasoning applies, I don't understand the complaints about it moving locally.

In my mind there are two possible ways to view this.

We could trust Apple last month and we can trust them today.

Keynesianism and Neo-Keynesianism (assuming this includes Friedman/Monetarism) dominate because their theories/proposals are, usually, based in the world and institutions that exist. Austrian economics is mostly the economics of utopia, masked by an inexplicably pessimistic tone.

The newest keynesian variant, modern monetary theory, isn't a "modern" theory of money... it's a theory of modern money systems. These aren't based on gold coinage.

Austrian macro is centred around the idea that interest rates are prices. Some people have a desire to consume now. Others have a desire to consume later, interest rates are the price they negotiate. No second order effects. No money supply. No interest in where money comes from. No money, in fact. Money is just a trade good.

There were two must-do-somethings" that "killed" Austrian economics, outside of dissident goldbug circles: the great depression & WW2. Their answer to "how do we win the war?" was "we can't, not enough money." The same applied to "how do we rebuild europe & japan?"

Meanwhile, post war economists were aware of these theories. Yet, they often observed "non clearing markets" in the form of unemployment in places where Austrian economics reckons there shouldn't exist.
Without a general right to control data about you, this just makes things worse. Doing this naively means the surveillance companies pay the one time cost of buying the records, and then use/copy/propagate them freely. $5 for everyone in the US is $1.6 billion, which isn't cheap but it's also not out of the scope of how surveillance companies operate. Also the cost just needs to be paid by the industry as a whole rather than each company - data brokers would spend $5 on a record, and then turn around and sell copies of it for $2 ea to 4 different companies. Meanwhile, not being able to see the contents without paying keeps the public's own awareness down.

No, the right answer is to give individuals the right to control information that is stored about them ala the GDPR. Companies should serve us individuals, not vice versa. Make it so what the surveillance industry is doing is clearly illegal, and force the shady operators to retreat to the shadows rather than being respected market leaders.
> Isn't this exactly what an internal monologue is? Lack of internal monologue would be someone who thinks only abstractly or visually, without any words.

I don't know. It's like reading though. I definitely don't hear a voice (mine or anyone else's).

> If you can think in words, watch a TV show and later picture what the characters look like, and listen to a song and have it get "stuck in your head", then I think you have an internal monologue and don't have aphantasia.

Nope. I can't picture what the characters look like. I can't get a song stuck in my head either.
Something I think about is the desire to share especially when it's not done yet (ego satisfaction). I got into that cycle, sharing things that were like dreams before they even existed/noteworthy. "wouldn't it be cool if..."

Absolutely correct. My comment was tongue in cheek, which in retrospect doesn't really belong on HN.
So nothing should go on the internet unless it's fact checked?
You can't "dissolve the state".

Someone always has power. You either have a say in who that is and what they can do to you, or you don't.
The actual problem with the Donna Strickland page is that she was clearly notable by Wikipedia's standard for scientists and researchers, but the initial stub article did a very poor job of clarifying her notability. Wikipedia does get lots of bio articles about researchers, most of them are not really notable, so the area gets a lot of attention that often involves shooting first and asking questions later.
Somewhat related: a similar program [1] is part of the benchmarks used in the annual Software Verification Competition (SV-COMP). Specifically, in the termination analysis suite.

Maybe they secretly hope that some tool, someday, will spit out a correct proof? :)

>>He added that marijuana use needs more research.

I wish that we had this same attitude towards chemicals sprayed on crops where it seems to be everything is fine until proven to be harmful. Yet with weed it is harmful until proven safe. Also, I suspect there is plenty of research on the safety of weed

edit: to all of those arguing that there may be/ are dangers to weed, I don't disagree. How about the fact that I can choose to not ingest weed, I have to eat and it is quite difficult to find disclosures about chemicals sprayed on the food available, and many of these chemical have been researched far less then weed.
In the case of TerminusDB - which was mentioned in another comment - a branch is just a pointer, so isn't expensive. You basically get free clones, but don't have the risk of lots of messy copies of data everywhere
The same as what Apple is saying it's going to do, there's a difference.
Not to mention the github repo for the CAM software is currently empty except for a readme and license.[1]

I would love to see a functional open source CAM software that would compete with basic tiers of Mastercam/Fusion360/etc. I think it would be of huge benefit to the manufacturing industry, education and hobbyists. There are a lot of machinists/CNC programmers very worried about Autodesk's dominance over the field and the consequences of further consolidation and crapification. Many machinists are currently learning hard lessons about SaaS.

Unfortunately in my observations (as a user and CAM software purchaser, not a CAM dev) writing toolpathing engines seems to be a Hard Problem with most of the expertise concentrated within entrenched companies. There are a few smaller companies developing CAM software but most seem to build either on one of a couple licensed CAM engines or very old legacy software from back before the big players dominated the field. Lots of the functional requirements for a CAM system have been stable for years (decades even), so a casual observer would think it is ripe for an open source alternative. However I haven't yet seen an open source alternative that could plausibly compete or even achieve feature parity with any of the commercial CAM software I use.

Best of luck to the PolarCam dev. I don't have high expectations given the magnitude of the task and the hobbyist nature of the associated hardware, but I'd love to be proven wrong.

While emailing a bunch of employees is probably not going to be too successful, this could actually be a pretty effective strategy if the criminals would follow through on it; basically have an open offer to employees of large companies (or any companies, really) to deploy ransomware internally. Have an installer with a unique ID, a detailed set of instructions for installing the ransomware, communicating anonymously and obtaining the money as anonymously as possible, etc.

Nobody needs to know who anybody else is - just "here's our ransomware, any ransom paid that mentions your unique ID, we'll split with you. Have fun"

Crowdsourced criminality.
I think one of the other stories on this talked about "watermarking" in order to create a hash collision. So it need not be a non-CSAM image, a TLA could just alter an image to make it collide with a file they want to track, other countries would agree that file's hash should be in the hash list and bingo: Apple presumably provide the TLA with a list of devices holding that file.

Unbreaking Code Collaboration
Yes they're up there. But having it held as a reason to have a page of scientific descriptions and drawings deleted is just madness.
Seems to be a misunderstanding between what the law appears to say and what the actual practice is. Law enforcement's interest is not served by trying to prosecute moderators or companies acting in good faith because they have CSAM in their possession.
I don't think we can just appeal to the status quo here and assume it's acceptable. There's a couple reasons.

First, how many people really understood this previously? Did society at large actually knowingly accept the current state of things, or did it just happen without most people realizing it? Even here on HN where we'd expect to find people way more knowledgeable about it than in general I'm not sure how well known it was about what was actually happening, though I'd assume most would be aware it was possible.

Secondly, there's a significant difference between your own device or Apple's server doing this. On the technical side of things, right now, it might not matter that much since it currently is limited to things you upload to iCloud. But more philosophically, it's your own device being turned against you to check you for criminal behavior. That's very different from somebody else checking up on you after you willingly interact with them.

Well, this has potential to become the equivalent to a security pandemic.
I've never worked with Clojure and the article does a poor job explaining how it contributes to feature shipping speed. Functional programming? REPL?

I've personally experienced being part of teams that have a "rhythm" and it does make work seem more fun. It usually happens around a big release, after the hard/time-consuming parts are done and the teams are focusing on polishing up the system. I'd be more interested to know how problems are decomposed to support this velocity of features. How do they maintain quality and spend time on refactoring with this pace?

I've made it a little bit past that point, where I have the warp tokens, but I have to manually fly to neighbouring systems....and that's where I stopped playing. It's just not fun. It takes a few minutes of real time just sitting there doing nothing while you fly, only to set up some ships moving at equally glacial speed to move something that optimizes an extremely small element of your factory. All while further and perhaps more interesting systems are simply out of your reach without advancing everything past yet another tier.

I've poured about 60 hours into this game and I'm done. Back to Satisfactory for me.

The problem isn't so much the rigidity for absolute positioning, it's the high-speed vibration/chatter than a rotary cutter will induce. You can't really damp that out in a system like this (remember, you're spinning your cutter at thousands of RPM).
This results in additive errors. Think of the washboard pattern that arises on dirt roads in dry areas. It's the equivalent, but your cutter doesn't have shock absorbers. If my limited experience is any guide, you'll eventually start snapping off your cutter, breaking your stock free from the mounting, and/or getting mysterious gouged cuts into the stock that destroy your detail.
The existence of bad citations does not get away with the need for good citations, though. Why haven't you fixed the tungsten thing, though? This seems like an obvious mistake.
There's already a common way to add metadata to csv : use the first row. It is used for column names, but we can extend it to add any metadata. It would be easy to implement in current parsers and it would fail in a, if not graceful, predictable way probably already accounted for (i.e. garbage in the first row)
He means that even though the chance of two random images colliding is ~ 1/ 2 trillion, once you get up to a set of order sqrt(2 trillion) you have a good chance of having a collision amongst all pairs.
I can't decide if some of these scaremongering stories are from the military industrial complex to convince more funding into new things, or just anti-propaganda to give pause to rushing into new conflicts.

I’m much more worried about adversarial attacks rather than accidental false positives.

For example, a year ago I was trying to track down how some unscrupulous photos ended up in my photo library. I finally realized that Telegram had, without my knowing permission, been adding all photos I had received in a crypto discussion group to my Apple photo library.

There seem many ripe opportunities for targeting.

I don't think we're actually there yet but it's reasonable to think that, as time goes on, more and more publicly posted photos will be autotagged with the names of people in them.

If you don't trust Apple then they could've already done what you're concerned about before they announced this. I don't really get it. Either you trusted Apple before this and you continue to, or you didn't before, and continue not to. If it's the later, then you shouldn't be using Apple services.

> Stop trying to turn every fucking thing into a gender war.

"Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it" (Saul Alinsky, "Rules for Radicals"). All manufactured social conflicts take something that can happen, exaggerate it, and harp on it.

Remember: we must extirpate every last vestige of "bias" from this earth so that the universe shall be made pure! We are just an inch away from utopia! All that stands in our way is that bias. If only it could be weeded out, exterminated from every dark crevice and corner of the land, from every brain cell of every man, woman, and child, all of our problems would be solved, for all would be clean and kosher. Until then, no stone shall remain unturned, no word of phrase left interrogated, until we are sure that every heart and every mind is one with the Party line.
It sounds like there is code that enables anyone to compute the perceptual hash for an image. Is this code published somewhere?

Correct. That is why they use this circumstantial evidence to get a search warrant to confiscate your phone and other devices, read your email and other messages, and then question you until you, or one of your co-conspirators, breaks.

...which includes lying to you and telling you that the other parties have already confessed, and that you'll be the one holding the bag in jail if you don't confess as well.

A few hours of this, and unless you have the foresight and tenacity to demand a lawyer, most people break. Only one of them needed to break in this case.

Good. Their search engine.
I almost hate to say it but more sophisticated versions of this will come about. Like everyone knows you can order various nefarious things on the dark web, it might become common knowledge that if you are a disgruntled employee you can go find these scammers and collude. A smart contract linked to the ransomware you install could pay you out a guaranteed cut.

Clearly it’s a dumb thing to do because you are in the same country as the victim, would be on a list of interesting people to talk to and you’ll probably leave a trace of some sort. Unlike the scammer who is anywhere and anyone.

I've been thinking a lot about this problem generically, and I'm wondering if there's more formally published elsewhere. How well do multicultural polities work compared to more homogeneous polities (polities that crudely map to an ethnic group)? I'm not strongly for or against any particular position, but it seems like there are efficiencies to more homogeneous entities and I believe one of the criticisms of the colonization of the Middle East (and the purported explanation for why there is so much conflict in the Middle East) was that the European powers drew borders (deliberately, IIRC) that were multicultural rather than ethnic. If this is true, it seems like it would contradict the multicultural thesis, but it seems to be espoused most frequently by multiculturalists.

Does anyone know of anyone who has written about this more comprehensively?
