One of those was the first PC I owned.

The compatibility comment in the article was interesting. There was definitely a period when bug for bug PC compatibility was not widely appreciated by a lot of companies because it hadn't historically been a thing. Even Corona had a weird one-off monochrome graphics mode that basically no one supported (and made it incompatible with add-on graphics cards like Hercules).

I think it's also easy for people to forget that in, say, 1982 if you were shopping for a computer a PC clone wasn't necessarily the obvious choice.
Well until we can understand that social hierarchy and social status are pointless values, this will continue to generate problems.

What is the point of considering that there are people that are worth more than others? Merit already doesn't work, only inheritance and social reproduction really matter.

Why are there so many people who disagree that 100% of people should have access to healthcare, food and shelter? Elites shouldn't really exist. Nobody is really above anybody else. That's the point of having human rights.

Of course some people are more specialized for certain things, but nobody is really "above" others. At best, leaders or people with responsibility are "accountable", but their efforts are done as an effort to help other, not to reap the benefits.

Market fundamentalists are going to argue that risk must be rewarded, but investors will always work hard to lower risk to a minimum to increase ROI, so why are they really rewarded at all if they reduce risk, since they argued risk must be rewarded?
Hmmm I guess you could use it and have snail mail as a backup...It'd be better than nothing probably?

Yea I'm not sure how you validate everyone in the video has a verified identity and age... Perhaps machine learning could automate some of this. Stripe has selfie validation... so if you could do something like that on the video where faces in the video are compared to the identities provided... If there isn't a match then the video is flagged for review.
Back then, there was no TSA screening process that took 1-2 hours of waiting in line, planes were smaller, airports were less busy, flights left on time whether they were full or not, and you could smoke on the plane.

It would have been pretty expensive unless she or the company negotiated some kind of discount with the airline but lots of people today quite regularly commute 2 hours or more one-way in their car or on the train, so...

One speculated motive is that Apple wanted an End-to-End Encryption system for iCloud, but the FBI put immense pressure in 2018 internally to shut that project down because it could spread CSAM, among other things.

Then in 2020, there was the EARN IT Act proposal, which nearly passed and would have required scanning for CSAM on pretty much every online platform that wanted Section 230 immunity.

Apple puts two and two together, realizes Congress is concerned about CSAM's spread and isn't interested in changing, and still wants E2EE on iCloud. OK, put the scanning client-side, then the way is paved for E2EE iCloud because the FBI's biggest argument against E2EE is neutralized, and so is Congress' argument for EARN IT (which would basically have banned E2EE).

Absolutely blown away by dojo and their chip design. It seems that they are on the way to building the most powerful machine learning supercomputer in the world in house.

Where do these chips get made? TSMC?

I would love to know how their new chip compares with the FSD chip in terms of power usage per teraflop.

Also, it seems that what they call "vector space" is really a 2d plane, so how do they deal with 3d scenarios such as parking garages and complex overpasses. They are rare, but they do exist.

I think that worked because it didn't consume the show. The Dominion existed, but not every episode was centered around that war. The show remained pretty much episodic, with reminders of "hey, we have this going on", without being forefront every episode.
Once in a while I rewatch an episode, and I am just blown away by the fact the "war" with the Dominion started so early in the show's run. It was a major plot point yet so subtle at least I could forget until it became prominent in the last season.

How does Tesla's tech compare with Waymo?

I just can't imagine how Waymo or any other company can compete with the first-principles full stack engineering and scaling of Tesla, which touches virtually every important dimension of consideration. And that is today, not even a year from now.

The foundation Tesla has built and shown on AI day will progressively increase their lead in the years to come, I just don't see how anyone can compete with that level of forward thinking. To me it just seems obvious, so what am I missing about Waymo?

I suspect it's largely a cultural issue. Japan isn't as outwards-facing as most countries, certainly most large countries. It's one thing to export pop culture, which it does very successfully, quite another to export academic products from such a different system. A system so different it probably doesn't descend from the original Academia at all, unlike most modern instantiations of scholarship.

I think you're underestimating the degree to which companies have their own internal logic that has nothing to do with the external reality. That tendency increases the larger a company grows. If you're in a one-room house, you can always see outside. If you're inside a giant office building, mostly you see the building.

Did somebody raise the concern of push-back? I'm sure. But the moral questions around CSAM are something that was settled long ago internally. When I was at Twitter fighting abuse, the CSAM stuff was a separate group. My boss called them The Department of Mysteries because we almost never saw them or spoke to them. It was led by a serious person, an ex-FBI agent or something like that. They did what they did and we were all ok with it and grateful for it, because that shit is horrific and we didn't want it on our platform and we didn't want to have to deal with it ourselves.

My cousin was a PO for sex offenders, and one of our regular discussion topics at family reunions was how sex offenders were way more technologically savvy than a state parole department. How they really needed more help in making sure offenders weren't reoffending while on parole, while also not forcing them to just not use computers and phones altogether. If even I've heard this, I'm sure that Apple execs have heard it from law enforcement a zillion times.

It's also clear Apple put a lot of thought into addressing the privacy concerns for this. Technologically, it's sophisticated, impressive.

So I can easily believe the people at Apple said, "Sure, there are reasonable concerns, but we think we have addressed them." And that they're surprised by the level of sustained pushback.
Concerns when automating and connecting with a third-party service is that you can introduce more vulnerability. (Or even introduce a backdoor if you use a malware / insecure software to do so.)

We used to use Skype with my wife's parents and it sucked: there were delays, freezes, low quality video, etc. It worked great with my mother, but she had far better internet than my wife's parents. The alternatives were even worse: Telegram, whatsapp, jitsi. Then we tried FaceTime: the difference was night and day. Everything was smooth, the sound was better, no stuttering, we could actually read things they held to the screen, etc.

It is a shame that FaceTime isn't easier to use as an alternative to Slack-calls and screen sharing. At least last time I tried, or I'd use it for work as well.

> For those of you old enough to remember landlines, it reminds me of those [...] When we all switched to cell service audio quality took a huge hit

I don't understand - are landline phones not in use anymore? I only use a landline phone to communicate with the family, because I simply cannot stand the audio quality of cellphones for calls which last longer than a few minutes.

Edit: In Germany, there are about 40 M active landlines. That is 1 landline phone for every 2 inhabitants, and this number seems to be have been fairly constant over the last 20 years [0].

Apple says their system is designed to prevent totalitarianism by only scanning images that appear in two or more countries' CSAM lists. So if one country sneaks in perfectly licit content, it won't scan for it.

Now, you might say that China would force Apple to scan for things anyway - and they might. But at the same time, China could have ordered this at any moment in the last decade. It's not like the Chinese government wouldn't force this tool to be made anyway.

That Pew survey suggesting 65% are Christian seems vulnerable to the halo effect - a little irony is present in the name. People who were conditioned as children to believe they ought to believe in Christianity (which is different from believing in Christianity) will answer 'yes' to such a survey question even if their measurable actions like church/mosque/synagogue attendance or OnlyFans donations indicate differently.

That is a lie - they only scan in your iCloud Photo Library. An external drive? Messages? Not scanned (except for the generic nudity detection system for child accounts that doesn't contact Apple about anything, a separate piece from the CSAM scanner).
Thank you for this perspective. I've never worked at an organization of this magnitude, so I am definitely lacking some perspective.

> It's also clear Apple put a lot of thought into addressing the privacy concerns for this. Technologically, it's sophisticated, impressive.

I'm not sure about this. How is a perceptual hash sophisticated and impressive given that it can be abused by governments demanding Apple scan for political content, etc?

This is how Apple handles repairs. They do not have trained technicians who know how to repair their equipment, as once was the case in the long ago.

At best, their monkeys can swap out whole parts, but they seem to be trained primarily to sling their shitty merchandise. Because that’s what’s profitable, and no one is forcing them to Do The Right Thing.

I was given the same option (“buy a new phone”) when my iPhone 7 microphone died. There are zero legitimate reasons why that should have been necessary, so I have been using a Bluetooth headset for the past couple years instead. Since then, I have been hoping to be able to replace it with a PinePhone when it finally dies.

I want right to repair laws to be enacted, but I am not optimistic that we will ever get them. It seems far more likely that our rampant fascist corporatism will play lip service (at best) to the public’s demand, while simultaneously further entrenching the status quo for the corporations that line their pockets. You know, just like everything else that happens in government.
Taxes on corporations are paid by people. Every dollar taxed from a company is a dollar less the company is worth. For mom and pop companies, it's directly less value they have. For larger private companies, it taxes owners. For large public companies, it taxes everyone with any investment exposure, which is the vast majority of people by retirement time.

It lowers returns on pensions, which is a hidden tax on nearly everyone.

Lower capital in companies causes them to raise prices sometimes, hire less sometimes, fire more quickly in bad times, etc.

Just because you don't see how it taxes you doesn't mean you're not paying.

Not really no. Landline calls are often worse than cell phones in my experience as well, especially if the other person is on a cordless landline.
> they have the burden of proof, as they're making a positive claim

The positive action here is the initial banning, the burden of proof lies with Facebook. The Intercept's claim is a contradictory one, and only asks for reasons from Facebook, so I don't see how it can be framed as a "positive claim".

> I'm merely stating that it does exist (at least according to the FBI), and to the extent that it does exist, it should be blocked by Facebook on the same grounds that Facebook is blocking right-wing extremism

I 100% agree. I just don't see any evidence that this is an example of them doing that.

> this website ignores the examples of innocent right-wing groups and individuals being wrongly banned, such as Ron Paul

That is a valid criticism; I was actually unaware of the Ron Paul story (and can't find a huge amount about it searching tbh, other than it happened - is it still in place?).

Someone should probably add that to the OP separately.
Note that I didn't say it isn't up to scratch. I was referring to others in this thread who said the protocols were subpar. Although RDP still does not support full-screen use on, say, 2 out of 3 monitors in a multi-monitor setup (the 3rd screen being used locally) without the famous VMware Workstation hack.

RDP works well for me personally in a variety of use cases (albeit none of them are graphics intensive) - however, user feedback I have received especially from engineers and designers has shown that they are unhappy with it.

For example you cannot (anymore) use discrete graphics in an RDP session (e.g. in certain CAD or 3D software). I think this was under development but got removed, iirc. Other protocols like the one used by Splashtop do support this but in our tests RDP on W2k19 still provided higher fps and a smoother experience than Splashtop (with the downside that some software wouldn't start over RDP because it couldn't directly access the graphics card).

Are there any particular optimisations you do to RDP beyond what can be done in the "Experience" and "Display" tabs of mstsc.exe?
Is this pretending that DRM is security? It seems like it would keep users of a device from doing what they want to their apps, without really doing much to stop actual bad guys from attacking users.
Everyone already has cellphones, so a landline is an extra monthly cost for something that you're already paying for.
Blogs exist, but due to network effect any given blog post is less likely to be auto-surfaced by an algorithm into people's field of vision than a stream of dozens of individual Twitter posts.

Anti child abuse measures are regularly utilized to push for measures you otherwise can‘t establish. Most of the time surveillance and censorship. Just look back 10+ years to Germany, where „Zensursula“ tried to establish DNS blocking for the media industry by arguing for child safety. The approach is always the same. Just this time, Apple has so many devices in the market, that if this succeeds we‘ll all be headed for surveillance disaster.

Given that fact that Snowden’s revelations didn’t generate ANY actions within the public, I doubt to see any actions this time.

Basic "www-izer" (redirection) services are another example where the root domain is pointed somewhere that should not be able to issue wildcard certs.
