This. A bank you've never heard of fails to identify someone they're giving money to? Your problem, even though you weren't even one of the parties involved.

Is a credit agency illegally spreading false information about you? Not their problem, after all, they can't be expected to know they're spreading false information. Also, they advertise that they are in possession of credit monitoring systems capable of detecting this false information. How is this not libel?
My general impression is that it's fairly easy to get moderately accurate models with simple procedures on cheap hardware... linear regressions, say. Maybe that'll get you 75% predictive accuracy.

Then, you apply better techniques, that hit the limits of your PC, and you bring that up to maybe 80%.

Then you bring in the PHDs, move your analysis to a cluster or into the cloud, and you gain another 2%.

In other words, it's more often that 10000x the computing power gives you something like a 1.2x the model quality, not 10000x or even 100x. Still worth doing for a large enough company, though.

Just my experience, and only a generalization. Some models just can't be built without a minimum amount of horsepower, etc.
As someone who doesn't write Rust professionally, this list scares me a bit. Even though many items apply to other programming languages as well (and some are even handled more easily in Rust), it appears to be quite easy to forget something of great importance to some of your users. What if you forgot to derive the Debug/Display trait and someone wants to print your struct, or you forgot to implement PartialEq and someone wants to write unit tests? Maybe this doesn't really happen in practice, I would be very interested if some experienced Rustaceans could share their experience.
There were objections to SSNs when they were introduced. A few religious groups have legal exclusions from Social Security.
I know what I was arguing, and it was specifically mentioned, so no it was not what was being argued.

The author of the book and OP of this thread obviously feels differently, and I'd gently suggest that her feelings are much more important than yours in this matter.
I think the presence of other cases in multiple countries kind of invalidates this analysis. Have all patients been stationed in Havana prior to exhibiting symptoms?
As someone from the Midwest, I can absolutely say that resistance to the RealID Act was entirely based in this sort of flawed religious logic. I heard it from some of my own family members who are politically influential in their community.
My jaw hit the floor when I saw $5.6B. Valuations have been crazy for a while, but that kind of money for an OK-ish developer tool is bonkers in any world.

Weber Grills just went public at a similar valuation. It's truly amazing that a global household name would go for the same price as a niche tool that is optional to pay for.
A post paid phone plan in the US is a contract with a rotating line if credit - that is why the ID is required.

If you don't want to show id there's plenty of prepaid options (including with TMobile). You can also pay someone else to put you on their plan - the carrier only has the identification information for the plan owner.
NuScale Power is one of these companies.

> The Knowledge Graph is made up of sources (see the list here: https://kalicube.pro/trusted-sources) and by working on your own KG entry and feeding it more information, you'll be strengthening your own KG entry for your name, and all these issues with confusion and the wrong information being displayed will go away.

You may be right, but that procedure sounds an awful lot like, "If we make enough sacrifices to the sky god, maybe it will send rain, and the crops will grow again." Is this the future of having access to accurate knowledge? Throw text at a black-box AI and hope it changes its output?
The article is about a book that explicitly combines the image of Vlad Țepeș (apparently mostly from the foreign Dracula symbolism perspective) with modern-ish Romanian history. So, the use of his as a symbol in modern Romanian politics is, I think, interesting to note at least.

I only started presenting concrete examples because you claimed the association doesn't exist.

To be clear, I am not claiming in anyway that a 17th century prince was himself a fascist, or that any use of his image in modern discourse is fascistic or a dog whistle. I was just adding a bit of extra context about some local symbolism.

Also, not sure how you could misconstrue my post as "fascist propaganda". I could see how you might accuse me of seeing dogwhistles everywhere, but I think my stance was quite explicitly anti fascist.
> Unless the woman was already making good money as a writer before the picture, and suddenly wasn't, Google will pay _nothing_.

The suggested plantiff is the misassociated pastor. Google is effectively saying that the pastor wrote the book, which is untrue and Google was notified of this and acknowledged it, and then they started claiming the association again.

This claim is damaging to the pastor in a clear way, and could probably get damages.

I would agree that the author would seem to have a harder case though as damages would be harder to show.
OP said the vet said to return the poop, not the entire contents of the kitty litter box.
The submitted article does say watch list, it's just the title here that ~has~ had the error. (Editing it was fair enough IMO, at least to remove from 'and boy'...)
As expected, it is only a matter of time untill all the intensely private data collected by NSA and pals is leaked or stolen and used by criminals for fraud and extortion.
I was just as surprised. Not only it works, there are no performance issues like audio cracks and stuff like that. It's awesome.

We are building a game where people instead of keeping an excel file with the startups they believe in and would have backed should they have the capital/access, can keep a digital portfolio. Just like in Fantasy Football, you'll be able to get real returns (albeit a lot smaller than real equity investing).
I'm pretty sure that in france eIDAS is not there aswell, which would already mean that over 1/3 (probably more, because more states basically don't have it implemented) of the european member states population does not use it (yet)
> two officials had troubles

No, multiple officials had troubles, and the number (beyond that it is multiple) is not being released because they were (in part) in sensitive intelligence work and revealing the number affected would itself be providing valuable information to hostile intelligence actors.

> So the weapon also knows on what people work on?

More likely, the people using the weapon do, or know the particular specific locations where that work is done, or know what work someone is doing and are targeting others by association.

> Or should we assume a perfect infiltration of the US intelligence aparatus by the Russians so they know what person is working on what?

It wouldn't be unprecedented for the Russians (or, at least, their Soviet predecessors) to have high-level penetration of major Western (counter/)intelligence services. Ames and Hanssen in the US, the Cambridge ring in the UK, etc.
Interesting food for thought. I bought your book awhile back and was 2 chapters in before reading about the aforementioned "Dissent is silenced and banned" issues which led me to abandon continuing at the time. Maybe I'll jump back into it.

I've not heard of such misinformation being spread about other languages. Id love to hear your side on why Elm itself seems to attract such ire if its inaccurate.
Pay people for what they’re worth, not for where they live
I totally understand how philosophies, whether wrong or not, came to be: some random person with an interesting idea wrote it down, taught it to others, and others liked it enough to keep sharing it or further adapt/adopt it.

Through this process, things that have withstood the test of time are probably worth a look, but then with time comes a loss of context and relevance.

I mean, I wasn't even saying most/all/many philosophies are dead wrong. It's all about the signal to noise ratio after you've read more than a couple books. You'd be a fool to blindly believe in the process of how ancient wisdom is passed down mostly by a long standing popularity contest. Worse, even good ideas come with "addons" and extra baggage that needs to be thrown out, because ancient elders knew that common people wouldn't understand the core ideas and thus attached "click baity" stuff to ensure the ideas keep passed down over generations.

> In fact, I'll bet you it entices you because you'll end up catching yourself saying "hey, I thought of that".

Sure, this happens often. I consider this independent validation of my own ideas. Without this independent "verification" process, you're almost taking what you read on faith. (yes, the explanations or justifications they give are often not the real ones...)
How does OP knows that they are low IQ? That seems insulting to me. It is one thing to say they lack right skills or are unmotivated to work hard. But saying someone is low IQ without doing IQ test is same as calling a fat person lacks discipline to eat healthy.

Or reading your or OP's comments and assuming that you have social and possibly serious mental health issues. Not very nice, right?
Those Chicago95 screenshots might be a bit out of date. Some of the systems I use have the latest Chicago95 on them, and it either doesn't bother me, or I'm so focused on doing things in applications (or on anything but the UI theme) that it doesn't bother me.
I'm waiting out to see whether Apple buckles to pressure but if no:

Laptop: Framework with Linux

Part of it too was that the original RealID Act actually did call for a national database of all citizens in the US, but this was later removed. Now it's basically just a list of security requirements before granting the ID that is applicable everywhere.
This can easily be solved in CSV by escaping or quotation.
> There are mature CSV libraries for most major languages that handle 99% of the problems of CSV.

They really don't. In fact I'd go further and confidently state that they really can't, because tons of mis-parsed CSVs are heuristic judgement values, and those tools don't really have the ability to make those calls.

I've never seen a "mature CSV library for most major language" which'd guess encoding, separators, quoting/escaping, jaggedness, … to say nothing of being able to fix issues like mojibake.
Maybe in your org that's true. In my org, we are intentionally heading in the opposite direction. We are intentionally holding different standards, complete with different question banks and different interview tasks (sometimes code challenge, sometimes not) depending on which team you join, even for L5s within the same job family.
I'm against it. Not for religious reasons but because of the potential to concentrate power.
If it is viable in 2030, I wonder how competitive it will be with solar and wind. Many countries are reluctant to invest in existing (fission) nuclear, and are relying on renewables to scale up, I guess. Or just keep the coal plants running indefinitely.
In addition to changing your T-Mobile PIN, I recommend freezing your credit with all three credit reporting agencies. It's easy and free.
The little end is always at a lower address. It doesn't matter which way you draw the number line.

until ios source code is closed all privacy claims is only backed by trust. They easily can do whatever they want if you're not compiling from source. There's no way to ensure your data is not leaving your iphone/mac with some "system" network requests.
Agreed. It's not explicitly stated in the post but why would amount of experience (aka age) and Y-intercept even be mentioned at all if not to imply that more experienced people have a less steep slope.

I think this is a false axiom that young people have more potential. You actually have very low signal about people that age. They just went from a very structured context to a very unstructured context, so you may be assuming a lot from how they operated in the former context that may not be true now that they are in a different one.

This kind of ties in with another thread on here about OP being disillusioned with the skill level of their FAANG colleagues.
1990's C++ frameworks like Powerplant, OWL and VCL were great.

Qt is the only one left carrying that flag.

C++ has all the tools to make it as easy as VB/Delphi kind of development, yet too many spoil it by sticking to what I would call C+.

I was quite disappointed to the way XAML C++ has become, but apparently the teams that used WRL seem to be happy, more to them, rest of us are sticking with C# now.
Ooh this is awesome.
Several things in this article resonated with me negatively. But I think these two are the biggest ones:

>values stored in the files are typed.
>most importantly, these formats trade human readability and writability for precision

Those two properties are advantageous only when CSV is used in cases meant to be just parsed and as a data transfer format. But in reality, CSV files are being used in many different contexts. For instance, data scientists love to leverage and chain Unix tools to create a subset of data to test models. Also, it is often used as an export format to validate outputs quickly.

I think the problem is that CSV is often the subject of abuse. In the same way that a spreadsheet is a subpar database, I don't believe we are nearly close to the time when we will retire Excel.
It's just JSON. It's not an extension to the spec, it's a subset of the spec. If anything, you could say it's JSON--.
If you have content that has a matching hash value and is identical by all computational and human inspection to content that has been identified as CSAM from which the hash was generate then you have a problem.

Without getting into the metaphysics of what is an image, at that point, you basically have a large collection of child porn.

Your hypothetical oppressive regime has gone to a lot of trouble planting not illegal evidence on your device. It would be much more effective to just put actual child porn on your device, which you would need to have to conduct the attack in the first place.
I recall ESR's book about Unix conventions and culture mentioned something I think he called stanza-based. A file format where each line is a value and records separated by empty lines. Don't think Office tools can work with that though, except as regular text files.
But that's already the case? You just have to go through the hassle of getting it resolved. You're also not liable for credit card fraud, but you still have to go through the hassle of calling the bank and getting it reversed.
Start Googling. You'll find many hundreds of blog posts and podcasts about this. If all else fails, start listening to This Week In Startups.

This is true, but a lot of data processing takes place in a context where frictionless export functionality is more important than a 100% guarantee of import compatibility. I'd rather ingest city = ",CHANGSHA,HUNAN" (real example!) than ingest nothing at all because my vendor doesn't have time to integrate a JSON serializer.
The scenario you describe has already been extant for the past ten years. Unreported zerodays could have been used at any time to inject a CSAM hit into someone's camera roll, way back in time where they wouldn't see it, in order to get them investigated. Their phone would have uploaded it to iCloud or Google Photos or Dropbox Whatever and the CSAM detections at each place would have fired off. No need for any of this fancy AI static nonsense.

I know of zero instances of this attack being executed on anyone, so apparently even though it's been possible for years, it isn't a material threat to any Apple customers today. If you have information to the contrary, please present it.

What new attacks are possible upon device owners when the CSAM scanning of iCloud uploads is shifted to the device, that were not already a viable attack at any time in the past decade?
Thanks Somoge. I'm not entirely sure what you mean but we love getting suggestions. Feel free to join our discord or ping us on twitter with some more context!
The title mangler somehow got confused with "LA" and converted it to "la".
I feel we're circling the same issues here so I'll leave it after this. But what you're saying is the point I'm making, many clouds have been doing this for a decade and we've not seen the issues you're worried about. The one example you gave was a photo tech, so human developing photos, making a mistake. Not someone being targeted with material that would trigger google photos or Facebook to flag them, not algorithms making mistakes with photos of someones kids, none of it.

The post we're commenting under has created hash collisions with grey blob images, if you get 100 of these they won't get past the review step anyway. It'd be a pointless attack.

Like most of the outrage around this system it mostly seems to boil down to FUD.
They would be super confused since there is really no checks on who gets put on this list.
God dammit it has nothing to do with religion.

You're as ignorant as the people you mock.
Vodafone is much worse than T-Mobile. In Germany they forge customer signatures and edit voice call records to create "fake" contracts and extract money from you. In my case I have to pay 120 Euro per month, even if the flat rate internet connection I have should only costs 80 Euro.
This is obviously sarcasm but I'd preface it with an explanation since HN is multicultural and not not everyone here is brought up to catch it effortlessly.

Edit: The point here is that even if Apple tries very hard to make this be only about photos about to be uploaded to the cloud, if the percentage of phones that turns off iCloud storage increases as a response to this new "snitch-on-me" feature that will be a very good argument for law enforcement to ask for a list of IMEIs that are not using iCloud, and it will also tempt them to demand that Apple start scanning all files.
Did someone take the database computer home?
A Downgraded Downgrade
The Foveon sensor that I mentioned before works exactly in the same way getting 3 full resolution images at different wave lengths, exactly like the scientific cameras.
And I’d argue that the only difference between this approach and the eye/Bayer sensor is the resolution, the underlying mechanism is exactly the same.
So the title is misleading in that case. “German Parliament Member” would be better.
I believe you're being disingenuous.

I'm rambling because our programming languages make it awkward, difficult, and performance-sub-optimal to do such things.

If you do what I often do, you have to wrap and unwrap your primitives explicitly so that you can use APIs that others have written.

You take a performance hit with all of the boxing and unboxing.

It's absolutely still a missing language feature if the language doesn't have ergonomic "newtypes". Just because it's possible to write a ton of poorly performing boilerplate to accomplish my goal of type safety, doesn't mean that I think we're done. You can do these things with essential zero runtime overhead and almost no boilerplate and friction in the code. It's entirely possible to do newtypes and refinement types in Rust, Haskell, D, Scala, even TypeScript. It's just that most of those languages are not very popular. TypeScript is the most mainstream of the lot.

I think "good programmers" are more of the problem than bad programmers. Good programmers are so used to these shit languages and all of their workarounds (excuse me: "design patterns") that they can't even see the forest for the trees and realize how tedious and stupid most of our work actually is. There's no Earthly reason it should take a million lines of code to write a CRUD app (I'm counting dependencies).
I like it! may be add an option for users to group themselves by the type of work, i.e. coders with coders, writers with writers, let them optionally choose the kind of co-workers they want (or default to a random mix of strangers in "cofeeshop" mode)

and also let users work together on shared tasks, such as leetcode prep, school homework, startup or open-source project, or anything which requires collaboration.

Also you could provide "virtual PM" as a service to tech companies to manage their sprints.
Great to hear you bought some VisionShares!
I realize that “child safety features” is the absurd euphemism in the title of the article itself, but the title really should be changed here on HN. Allowing a title like “child safety features” to describe this technology within a community that both knows better and is prominently featured in Google gives that description credence. It should be changed to something like “…invasive screening technology” or “…government backdoor into your iPhone”.
This is repeated consistently by the religious right and even is used as a reason that masking should not be put in place, because it is a "mark."

When bar codes were introduced there was religious fervor and resistance about the mark of the beast on every product - its a real and persistent meme among the christian crazy.
