Fair enough. The $1M ones are for trafficking. But $15K for weed? That's contempt. That's a Jesse Pinkman meth RV low-ball.

You're right. I went again and it started clicking when I saw references to other SIMD libraries. Thanks and sorry.
You're in for a rough ride if you change entire platforms and ecosystems every time someone disappoints you. Afaik, Microsoft and Google do a lot worse than Apple, so where are you going to go? Linux?

Yeah, I used them at my last job and for personal stuff, and they've always been great to me. Support tickets are resolved quickly and intelligently. The pricing is pretty okay as well. I have no complaints.
Even if that's true, this method at least drops some part of the process on the client where it can be inspected, vs. all scanning happening in the cloud, entirely behind closed doors.

Does that mean nothing bad can happen? No. But it does mean that when something changes, we at least know something changed.
I’ve been using caveaday for a couple of months with middling results (I think because there’s too many people there now). Excited to try this out!

I've been hosting things on them for the last ~5 years. They're fine. It's all been small webserver stuff, so nothing huge (3 droplets), but I've had no complaints.
I'm guessing Linode.
>blacklisting of revoked tokens

Ah, so a blacklist eh? ...Checked by an ad hoc per-request session mechanism perhaps?
Right it gives a taste, indeed.
What's the high end of the VPS market?
DO and Linode are basically my top 2 in my mind for breadth of offering (going past being simply VPS providers), standing the test of time, and being generally trusted where I see them.

If you go to "just" VPS/server providers I have a whole 'nother list, and at the top is Hetzner :)
Is your argument "a human review step is fundamentally a rubber-stamp that won't reject a false-positive?" Because I don't personally think that's how it'd work out, but I'll acknowledge that I might just be an optimist.

(I mean, assuming that you need ~30 matches to trigger the review phase of the process, I'd think it'd be weird to a reviewer looking for child porn if you got 30 pictures of apparently-random political documents or subversive memes.)
T-Mobile says hackers stole data of more than 40M people
I think it's a good example though. There is 200 years of medical history to guide us, and anyone trying to use that knowledge before it can be reconfirmed is promptly ejected from the discussion.

Knowledge and correctness are time dependant was my main point. At what point does a theory become a fact? At what point does nuance overrule that previous "fact"?

For these reasons, I can't support any censorship at all.
How were they caught then?
Most of these read like the kinds of nastygrams I've received at two separate companies when we shut off fraudulent accounts. The nice thing about DO is that they are easy to try at very small scale, it's probably safe to dismiss these particular reviews.
There is literally no requirement to use snaps.
The main problem is Moore's Law, so everything gets smaller and smaller. The old chips I look at have a single metal layer, which makes it much easier to see what's going on. And then in the 1990s, feature sizes got smaller than the wavelength of light so my optical microscope can't see the features.
So I'm familiar with WebGPU, but I'm not really sure why there would be a native (non-web) implementation of it. What are the practical uses of this, as opposed to just using something like Vulkan?
Correct. This feels like the type of people that go out of their way to give negative reviews to Taco Bell.
Snarky answer first: my experience tells me that I won't regret this decision :)

Real answer: You can use this argument to justify abstracting out literally anything. Clearly we shouldn't abstract everything and the details of each specific situation will dictate what abstractions are best (and who should own them). Based on the context that I have, Bevy's specific situation will almost certainly benefit from this decision. Bevy needs an "abstract gpu layer". We are currently maintaining our own (more limited) "abstract gpu layer" that lives on top of wgpu. Both my own experience and user experiences have indicated that this additional layer provides a worse experience: it is harder to maintain, harder to understand (by nature of being "another layer"), it lacks features, it adds overhead. Wgpu _is_ a generic abstraction layer fit for an engine. If I was building an abstract layer from scratch (with direct api backends), it would look a lot like wgpu. I understand the internals. I have a good relationship with the wgpu project lead. They respond to our needs. The second anything changes to make this situation suboptimal (they make massive api changes we don't like, they don't accept changes we need, they add dependencies we don't like, etc) I will happily fork the code and maintain it. I know the internals well enough to know that I couldn't do better and that I could maintain it if push comes to shove. The old Bevy abstraction layer adds nothing. In both situations we are free to extend our gpu abstraction with new features / backends. The only difference is the overall complexity of the system, which will be massively reduced by removing the intermediate layer.
I’ve used DO for around 8 years and have had mostly great service & experience with them. At the time of switching, we cut our hosting fees from around $1k to under $300. Now we are running on their hosted kubernetes service and it’s working great. They simplify a lot of things and the pricing is pretty straight forward.
Twitter still runs one, right? In general it'd make sense for any app where link sharing is a major use case. Reddit, for example.

It'd also make sense for Facebook and Apple, except they have their proprietary formats for exactly the same use case that people have no problem with (Facebook Instant Articles and Apple News). So not a lot of incentive to switch.
I don’t think “high level” is even the problem. Haskell is extremely high-level and yet it’s very fast, on account of having an extremely OP compiler. In this case it seems to just be the frameworks on top of non-compiled languages that are slow.
Never had a problem with DO.
yes, they do, It is called "CAT" https://www.catnmsplan.com/

Broker/dealers send order data to the regulators daily.

I know an SEC lawyer. He admits that the SEC doesn't have the resources to go after the really big fish because they can afford to fight like hell in court, while the smaller fish are much easier to convict. So they have to pick their battles. Doesn't mean that they never go after the big ones but they'd have to have an overwhelming case, which is tough.
Digital ocean is an excellent source of spam, hacks and, port scans. Not that the majority of customers are doing that, but they seem to do little to curb the nepharious. Blocking DO IP ranges does a lot to quieten intrusion logs (if you pay attention to them).

We have a system like this in Australia already. The benefit of it is its a read only system so if criminals get access to your api key, they can list your details out but they can't take your money or do much useful. So much better than giving a 3rd party your login details.

Yes, they could change it at any time. But this was always the case with all software that implements OTA updates.
If I back up my files to Apple's cloud server, I don't have to worry about them scanning my private files at all.

They don't cross that line like Google and Microsoft do.

With Apple, nothing but files you upload to iCloud Photos get scanned.
So to recap, Canada without open banking: 5 big banks, impossible to compete.

Canada with open banking: 5 big banks, impossible to compete.
It is a shift in trust. If my things are scanned on my local device, I now must trust that Apple:

* Will not be compelled to change the list of targeted material by government coercion.

* Will not upload the "vouchers" unless the material is uploaded to iCloud.

* Will implement these things in such a way that hackers cannot maliciously cause someone to be wrongly implicated in a crime.

* Will implement these things in such a way that hackers cannot use the tools Apple has created to seek other information (such as state sponsored hacking groups looking for political dissidents).

And for many of us, we do not believe that these things are a given. Here's a fictional scenario to help bring it home:

Let's say a device is created that can, with decent accuracy, detect drugs in the air. Storage unit rental companies start to install them in all of their storage units to reduce the risk that they are storing illegal substances, and they notify the police if the sensors go off.

One storage unit rental company feels like this is an invasion of privacy, so they install the device in your house but promise to only check the results if you move your things into the storage unit.

This sounds crazy, right?
There’s been such a debate over this now that I don’t know why Apple are still trying? It’s not even their job to catch child porn. There are many far-reaching cooperations like at Interpol and Europol that successfully bust child porn groups? Even anonymizing networks like Tor are not safe havens. These guys don’t have it easy even today.

So why is Apple suddenly extremely adamant about this? Would it even cost them anything to not go here?

They’re a hardware and services company making mobile and computing devices mostly geared towards entertainment and creative work. How did they end up here?

That doesn't make lock-in any better and less of a crooked practice.

This applies here very well too.
I really wanted to like XML but every book I picked up about it was so awful, and every XML browser program I tried so unbelievably slow, that I just gave up trying to figure it out when it was still current. I didn't need it for work; I just thought the concept was cool and it'd be a fun thing to know. Perhaps people were so eager to prove it was powerful that they ended up making it seem like something for masochists.
I'm curious what you think you would get from a deregulated banking sector and a deregulated telecom sector? As far as I see it, people in Thunder Bay, Swan River, Bas-Saint-Laurent, or, etc etc wouldn't have had cell service for a long time, maybe even still today, and we might have cheaper cell plans and more data and faster speeds in Toronto and Vancouver. Canadian economy would be in a considerably weaker position with more Canadians in poor financial situations, but we had a wider range of products and services? I can only see deregulation of those sectors being self serving, I don't think it helps all Canadians at large, and I think that's what being a Canadian is all aboot.
It's worse because the cloud is someone else's computer. When you're in someone else's house, you go by their rules.

Your devices, however, are your own house.

I'm not saying don't say those things. And I'm not saying don't ask.

If there is too much GPU work thrown at a WebGPU implementation, the best it could do is terminate the logical device on timeout.
It will return this page.
I think the future is that banks/bank apps will do the budgeting stuff themselves. Most bank apps will now break down your monthly spending by categories. My bank app shows me my weekly and monthly spend compared to previous periods, how much I spent in each category, how much I spent at each business, how much I have spent this month so far compared to the same time last month and etc.
Nice. Looking forward to 2023.
> Higgins correctly highlights the immense pressure Apple will get from governments and other actors to bend the technology and use it for something else than csam. It will happen, people are probably already thinking how to apply such pressure. Sooner or later Apple will cave in and they will have only themselves to blame when freedom supports in Sudan or LGBTQ activists in Saudi Arabia will be jailed.

I'm having trouble seeing how Apple's actions make this any more or less likely. It's not like matching photos is some esoteric concept that no repressive government has ever thought of before. It's not even like it's particularly hard. Apple's implementation is the most privacy sensitive way of doing it, but if the rules were going to come down they were going to come down, and they'd be implemented in less privacy sensitive ways.

None of these things are related to why the author was convinced of his intelligence.

And while it absolutely is common to call others smart, I think the following comment is rather special:

> "better regarded as hyper-intelligent aliens with a tangential interest in human affairs."

That comment is, IMO, believably earnest. And any person who requires such a comment to build up their ego is believably pretty smart as well.
> But I don't know that anyone asserts that breakthrough inventions don't come from capitalism,

I hear it all the time.

> certainly in the 19th and early 20th century many inventions were created by individual entrepreneurs, for example the Wright Brothers.

The Wright Bros are my usual reply to such assertions. Also the light bulb, transistor, jet engines, liquid fueled rocket engines, and on and on.
I feel like this comes back to whether something is a societal issue or not. I'm not totally certain what other exam room procedure you're talking about since you left it quite vague but I assume you're talking about proposed abortion access or gender reassignment limitations - if I've guessed wrong please feel free to correct me and clarify your statement.

Both of those procedures are exceedingly personal medical decisions the ramifications of which will never spread beyond yourself or, at most, your immediate family. The question of vaccination isn't an individual decision - it's a societal decision. We all (or most, technically) get vaccinated so that we can curtail an ongoing pandemic, it isn't effective if done to only a small segment of the population and the US is currently sitting just short of 60% vaccinated with at least one dose.

The big difference is between it validly being a personal choice or being something necessary for society to function.
Constantly flagging my account to Apple is an attack of its own. I don't need Apple to be complicit, just make a mistake by erring on the side of caution when reporting.

It's not shady, its the explicit purpose of these apps, they collect your transaction data and show you more detailed analysis of it. Since there is no API to safely get the data in a read only way, the only option is to screen scrape the banks website.
I dont think comparing yourself to an average idiot on the street is what google should strive for.

The way it used to work you had one intelligent entity forming a query and a machine performing said query. Somewhere along the line Google got this idea returning no result was a bad outcome and started overriding queries. Its like you go to the hardware store and ask for nails, but shopkeeper starts telling you all about nail saloons in the vicinity because they ran out of finishing nails - or worse, goes nail saloon -> spa -> finishing -> ending -> happy ending.

We went from intelligent entity forming a query and a machine performing said query to idiot computer treating you line an idiot.
1) The DB must be updated on both the server and the client. Apple's solution requires the DBs to match, essentially. So you can't update the DB without everyone knowing it was changed.

2) Apple has trillions of dollars to lose by selling out to a shitty change like that.

Do those things mean nothing bad can come of it? Hell no. But, right now we have FISA courts and silent warrants sucking in data without anyone knowing or being able to talk about it. It's not like we're a panacea at the moment.

Apple's approach creates a possibility of slowing down the politics already trying to move against E2EE data.

This is a political fight, and if we all act like ideologues we're going to lose it all in the end.
It’s interesting to me how quickly I’ve soured on the concept of open banking, which on paper sounds fantastic and originally I was very much in favour of. And which I’ve used personally to make it easier to extract my own data for my own use.

However more often than not now I’m seeing it used for really invasive applications. Such as when I rented my most recent apartment and they asked to use open banking to verify our finances, which as far as I know would have given them access to every single transaction going back a decade or so. The agent was confused as to why I wouldn’t go ahead with it and ultimately let us opt out, but I do worry that at some point I won’t have much choice but to accept.

I’ve also seen credit scoring companies that suggest you’ll get a better credit score if you use open banking to hand over your transactions. I have no need to use that but I suspect others who are desperate to increase their chances of getting a mortgage, etc, won’t have much of a choice.
Cross platform. You could build a rust app with a WebGPU target that runs across web and native.
There's always a negativity bias in reviews. People are more likely to go out and leave a bad review than they're likely to leave a good review for service as expected. That's true for any product or service, and it's something you should always take into account when comparing stuff online. You're incredibly unlikely to find a product with only real, positive reviews.

Based on their apparent automatic abuse filter for new customers (probably filtering out known scammers or something) I'm willing to believe that some people are blocked from the platform because of false positives. I'm sure some of those complaints are real and valid, but I'm also sure you can probably work your way through the block by providing them with some more PII to verify your identity if you really want to become their customer.
> Obviously no 2FA.

Don't worry, you really aren't missing out on much security because the 2FA most banks implement just involves sending you an SMS.
