The ironic part of AMP is that it's heavely relies on js. External js.

For example, you have a lightweight website with size of 140kb for everything (html, CSS, js, images) without AMP. It works blazing fast and you get 100/100 scores on any website speed meter.

But it was not enough for google, because you don't use their super-duper AMP tech.

You known what? Your website doubles in size when you implement AMP, because you must load several additional scripts to make AMP work, and not only size increases, load time (from click on your website link till full render) will increase too, because additional js processing to make AMP work.

The only benefit was preloading and heavely caching by Google, so user feels like website shows instantly.

I "optimized" several lightweight websites with AMP and every time I had exactly one thought in mind - that's useless stuff adds more problems than benefits, except mobile search ranking.

Thanks God now AMP is not mandatory to be in google mobile search top

I know. But at the maximum rated current the voltage drop across the LED is going to be only marginally higher than the band gap. Definitely not 24 Volts. So the question becomes what do you do with the excess voltage. If you are smart you don't just burn it in a resistor. And at that point the question is exactly what the OP asked: For which input voltage do you minimize total losses.
Yep, I do everything in Ubuntu desktop, bash, tmux and (n)vim and have done for ~10 years. I use only a small handful of plugins and configuration options. I try not to modify stuff too much.

To first order if I get a fresh machine or VM, I can get a development environment that I am fairly comfortable with with by running:

sudo apt install nvim tmux python3 python3-pip

I've heard a joke along the lines of "I loved LOST, it's a shame they only made one season" from multiple people. Whether they allow one or two seasons of the show to actually exist in their memory depends on the person.

So are you saying you're just guessing because you believe the government has it out to get Trump supporters? If, it turned out, there was a similarly large number of people on the list prior to Trump's election, would that change your mind? I think the concern that an extra-judicial list this large certainly has the potential for abuse, and America's 3-letter agencies have historically used the auspices of national security to target and harass political opponents and personal enemies. However, you don't have any reason to suspect that this list contains that group specifically, right? Other than just some perceived marginalization by mainstream society, that is.

There's a difference between ambiguity that's integrated into a story and ambiguity that's forced on the viewer. If the only thing that makes the movie ambiguous is that the final shot of the film isn't five minutes longer, then that is the type of film I hate. All Is Lost, The Grey, Save Yourselves, etc. If it's woven into the story from the beginning then I have no issue with it even if it may not be for me.
This kind of makes sense as bigger customers would have to have some sort of availability contract. I guess we just have to wait for statements. Realsense cameras that are not being developed, but promised to be available for purchase for 5-10 years might still be better than anything else out there, or at least to bridge us through the chipageddon gap. Does Realsense see the threat of 3D image sensors/solid state/flash LiDARs taking over and are bailing out early? I guess if this was the case why not just keep the L515 LiDAR?
NECMEC isn’t owned by the government and the database of hashes is available from Apple.
HN is not a jobs board, please see the FAQ for relevant sections about jobverts
We do that sometimes with Show HNs when the top comment is introducing the project. The reason is that there's not much difference between "replying to the comment introducing the project" and "replying to the project itself", i.e. posting a top level comment. But the former end up ranking higher on the page, which can be unfair.
The federal government doesn’t maintain sewer lines anywhere in the US except maybe on military bases and the like. At least in California we have special tax districts that are managed by a voter-elected board. The voters literally get to decide on infrastructure spending, at least in California.
The issue is that as soon as you set that precedent, it’s only a matter of time before it extends beyond iCloud. That’s the problem with doing any device-level scanning. This is dystopian and scary. And yes I understand the technology in its current iteration. The current form has problems (weaponizing collisions etc) but the real issue comes with future developments.
Google does everything they can to backup your photos ... and do it automatically.

I'm not sure there's a real difference unless you want to watch your settings all the time. In google land they tend to reset ... and really that happens a lot of places.

I think for most people if you use google, you're in their cloud.
I don't know, balkanization today is widely seen as a mistake that economically weakened the region. Consider how that would look for the U.S. California has the 5th largest GDP in the world if it were its own country. Louisiana on the other hand would quickly turn into a backwater, as it is a net recipient of federal support and California is a net provider. When you look at the states of the former Yugoslavia, you see the exact same effect, because these states drawn along old historical lines did not have equivalent economic outputs, and areas that generated more resources for the state subsidized other areas. Today, Slovenia is doing well, Bosnia is falling behind. They aren't even all in the EU.

I think the difference here is that it's ON YOUR DEVICE. I think there's a pretty clear understanding that if you upload stuff to a cloud provider they can do whatever they want with it. This is different. This is reaching into what has up until now mostly been considered a private place. Law enforcement often has to get warrants to search this kind of thing.

This is the difference between putting CSAM on a sign in your front yard (maybe not quite front yard but I can't come up with quite the same physical equivalent to a cloud provider) and keeping it in a password protected vault in your basement. One of those things is protected in the U.S. by laws against unlawful search and seizure. Cloud and on your device are two very different things and consumers are right to be alarmed.

I'll say it again, if you are concerned with this privacy violation, sell your Apple stock and categorically refuse to purchase Apple devices. Also go to https://www.nospyphone.com/ and make your voice heard there.
Thanks, I appreciate it!

I really enjoy writing these guides for others to learn, it forces me to think more about the process :)

> I worked on a pretty well aligned team with a very short power distance

then whatever management style would likely have worked; where I work I've the ultimate word on who works with me and I only allow hires that are well motivated and aligned and just set them in the direction of the goal and they barely need anything but some technical guidance every now and then. the downside is that we have a interview failure rate of about 98%, we're short of people and I'm under immense pressure from above to grow my team with whatever fit the job advert keyword.

> you probably need to take a different tact, or find a new role.

that is great personal advice, but to management, the golden egg is how to make dishomogeneous people work, even in face of adversarial behavior.

they managed to do it on the factory floor, and there's good money for whomever manages to bring some of the line working hell to creative workers, money which is currently being scooped up by scrum masters and the like, so the bar isn't even that high
Would DuckDB (https://duckdb.org/) work as your file format with enforced column types?
Not directly. Carahsoft actually pays for some of our customers' subscriptions to differentiate themselves from other distributors.
I would imagine that it's a good representation of their experience of such things, but a poor representation of the experience of such things of the person they're replying to.
I have a hard time agreeing with the central premise here.

The article states that the Taliban had a protection scheme (possibly legitimate, possibly a racket) going on to effectively tax all trade through their regions and that made them a lot of money. I can believe that.

But calling that the "real economic prize" seems to miss the point. There was so much trade happening because of the tens of billions of US dollars flooding into the nation. If you take away all that money, you are left with a lot less economic activity to tax, and are probably dealing with customers and suppliers who can't afford nearly as much protection money.

If there was a true economic prize, it's the foreign aid coming in which will likely dry up soon. There are no major international shipping routes through Afghanistan (I think! see my note below), so without the foreign money they're left skimming off the top of trade through a poor developing nation, which doesn't seem like much of a prize at all.

However... the article states this : "Even before their blitz into the capital over the weekend, the Taliban had claimed the country’s real economic prize: the trade routes — comprising highways, bridges and footpaths — that serve as strategic choke points for trade across South Asia." I wish they'd elaborated more on this - are there some desirable routes going through Afghanistan that nations in the region might like to use for trade?
When the scan is carried out on device, Apple can't read the results of the scan until the 30 image threshold is reached.

When Google scans on server, a single false positive result can be abused by anyone who can get a warrant.

None of this makes the system useless or harmful. Also, it’s not Apple’s algorithm. The actual hash list Apple will use is not accessible to the device.
Yeah the fact that *this* is what the mighty Google just let loose upon the world shows that they don't really care any more about their users, their products and their supposed mission of organizing the worlds' information.

The fix is quite easy too, just have an AI driven system with human supervision, I think at this point it is well known that a human + AI will basically always trump an AI and it's not like google doesn't have the resources to pull this off. You could build a database of verified facts that are often googled, have the AI gather data, have humans do a sanity check.

It's probably just some scheme to get someone promoted inside Google, the infobox is a side-effect of someone's career plan, it doesn't really matter if it actually works as long as it hits some key metric that gets used in an evaluation somewhere, who cares about propagating misinformation and falsehoods google is still making money. It makes me depressed.

It's possible, though unlikely, the guy in the article made it through the middle plexiglass layer in addition to the inner layer which is only there to stop you from scratching the plexiglass; at 4mm thick it's certainly within the realm of human strength. However at 12mm the outer layer is comfortably beyond what a human could crack without weapons/tools.

As long as you get the HAT, yes. I had to desolder the header and solder on a 90-degree header to get my low-profile layout, that was a pain. They weren't able to ship me a HAT without pins soldered :(

The documentation is sparse but they do have one C++ demo example and that's pretty much good enough as a reference to do whatever you want.

One thing I will caution is to NEVER unplug or plug the display while the board is powered on, I fried one display by doing that, but Waveshare was nice enough to replace it for free one I got a hold of some employee's WeChat.

Without the technology deployed, Apple can (and did) say they don't have the ability to break into users' phones.

If Apple deploys on-phone scanning, governments can just tell Apple to support a new list. It won't be the NCMEC CSAM list. It will be a "public safety and security" list. I wouldn't rule out underhandedness either. [1]

i'd wager you wouldn't have 5000 potential vendors once effective competition and smaller deal sizes squeezes out excess profit/graft. but from my experience with state procurement processes, the initial weed-out phase seems highly automatable, leaving a much more manageable fraction of candidates to consider manually.

also, transparency rules should be rigorous enough to illuminate all ultimate beneficiaries (through shell companies and subcontractors) so that larry, his brother darryl, and his other brother darryl can't artificially muddy competitiveness and undermine fairness.
Good point. I can offer three possibilities to how you might know. First, a data leak of the material. Second, law enforcement presumably gives hashes of known CSAM to service operators so they can detect and report it. You could pose as or be the operator of such a service and get the hashes that way. Third, if you were a government operator you may have access to the hashes that way. (Although I guess corrupt government agents would have other easier ways of getting to you)
Being aware of that or caring about that is not required for using antivaxxers as an excuse for anything related to Covid. It's not like nurses and doctors have been complaining for decades and were ignored out of greed, affecting lives negatively in untold numbers... no, if only everybody was vaccinated against this one disease, everything would be fine. It's just 5 minutes of hate, people patting each other on the back while using the absent as scapegoat.
Because now Apple confirmed themselves that this promise is not kept.
China is doing more for those countries than the West ever has or will.

Yeah, sure, they're building the infrastructure to strip the country bare, but the West hasn't been much better. Funding wars and bribing officials to keep a country poor and disorganized in order to plunder it has been the modus operandi for decades. Before then it was straight slavery.

If the Taliban make billions and build modern cities, I bet you anything that large Western countries will sell their good there. Apple, Mc Donalds, Coca Cola, Pepsi, Yves Saint Laurent, Rolex, VW, Ferrari, and so many more will be trying to conquer the market.

It's just business.
Was scanning server side not a precedent?
The cost is not a function of volumetric power density. I believe we have had this conversation before.

The most expensive nuclear plant projected to be constructed is the Hinkley Point C reactor. With all its overruns, it's projected that the cost will be £23 Billion, which works out to $3.37/Wth. $2/Wth is a $6 billion 1000 MWe plant, quite typical. Note that this is for reactors in the west, in China, where non-technical issues like NIMBYism aren't a concern, the cost is closer to $1/Wth.

I think the distinction between "evil" and "evil genius" is actually kind of important for a world that often anchors its reality to Hollywood narratives. It sets up a more believable antagonist, and makes it clear that -- unlike the grinch -- their heart is not likely to change.

It also sets up the challenge: be smarter. If he was just greedy, it might be a race to the bottom (greed always wins). But in this case it's a race to the top (intelligence seems to win).

I also think the distinction between "greed wins" and "smart wins" extends with a similar lack of mention into other popular "villains" like Elon or THE ZUCK.

At least for me, knowing that the richest person in the world is also considered extremely smart by the smartest people he could pay to work with him... it makes me feel that -- unlike politics -- business is not yet a complete race to the bottom.
Apple wants to enforce one of their corporate policies at my expense: battery, CPU, and unknown risks if/when they're wrong. What could possibly go wrong?
shaped charge type 40mm HE grenades would be fine if you have to defend against a heavily armoured killer robot, but ones like this with exposed hydraulic lines will fall over and curl up after a well placed knife attack, or maybe 12ga flechette rounds from a shotgun if you need a ranged attack.
Only if you tie publication to reproduction. But you can't really do that, because to reproduce an experiment independently, the independent researchers need to have learned about your result and methodology, which = publication.

Without being able to independently verify results, a lot of journals rely on signals like your research & results being noteworthy, which is anticorrelated with them being true. If our understanding of the world is at all correct, you'd expect most experiments to give boring, status-quo results, and your first impulse when you get something noteworthy is to assume the experimenter made a mistake. (Interestingly, this is how things work at the undergrad level - if you measure the speed of light at 1 million meters/sec, your prof will assume you screwed up.)

Probably we need a separate verification step after publication, with researchers evaluated on what fraction of their published results survive verification, not just how many papers they publish. Publish all the noteworthy results you get, but assume that published research doesn't mean much until it's been independently reproduced.
Because it's not a cryptographic hash where a one bit difference results in a completely different hash. It's a perceptual hash that operates on a smaller bitmap derived from the image so it's plausible that some innocuous images might result in similar derivations; and there might be intentionally crafted innocently-looking images that result in an offensive derivative.

Salvador Dali could do something similar by hand in 1973 in Gala Contemplating the Mediterranean Sea [1]

"Scenic Route" is another movie that does this. I like it.
Yes. That, plus it's unclear whether you can create a collision with a nonce. It's a perceptual hash, not a cryptographic one. Lastly, to compute that collision might be so expensive that you could instead compute small SHA-256 hashes, ie mine BTC, and use the money to obtain your sinister goals via other means.

Krita along with Blender are my two go-to examples of FOSS projects done right. Both are run excellently and are coming to equal or exceed their commercial counterparts across the board. Projects looking to break into the mainstream and become mainstays in their fields would do well to model themselves after Krita and Blender.

I just don't get this. Say you're given two options when going through the TSA.

1. The TSA agent opens your luggage and searches everything for banned items.

2. The TSA agent hands you a scanner for you to wave over your luggage in private, it prints out a receipt of banned items it saw, and you present that receipt to the agent.

Which one is more invasive?
Every Facebook post is going to trial.
ON YOUR DEVICE (where it's encrypted in a way that Apple can't read until the 30 image threshold is crossed) is more private than doing the same scan on server where a single false positive can be misused by anyone who can get a subpoena.
I worked on a project that used these in a proprietary file format. It was actually quite nice. There was no escaping required because they simply stripped those characters out of the actual content.
