Well if you believe legal constructs and centralized law enforcement are the answer to abusive behavior, then sure. In my case, and that of most people i know, it's very rarely brought any satisfying solution, even when not talking about internet abuse. I have exactly zero trust in the judicial system and law enforcement agencies, and to be more precise as an anarcha-feminist i believe their structure and culture is part of the problem, promoting many forms of abuse across society.

See for example Angela Davis in "Are prisons obsolete?" or Emma Goldman in "Prisons: a social crime and failure" for (dated) explorations of these questions.

I've managed to find some middle ground by taking advantage of short term licenses, i.e. renting software for a couple of months to get the work done after balking at four to five-digit sums to own perpetual licenses. Still, would be nice to own the software outright.

Appreciate the links! Indeed, we're seeing OSS tooling getting better and better!
Scotty here is the thing I can’t get over maybe you can help. IVM has ‘won the Nobel prize’. It is effective agains ~100 parasites and viruses and all kinds of baddies that plague humans (and as we have learned horses! And other mammals). I didn’t know this until the pandemic but I’ve been giving it to my dog for 10 years!

So it is VERY EFFECTIVE. That is a true statement. Is it effective against CV? I mean why wouldn’t we try it? Why would we assume something that works for so much not be? Why default to not try it? You get what I’m saying? It seems like when the world is melting down we should be trying everything. If there are 60+ studies showing it works why not do another 100? Or a thousand? It’s non toxic, incredibly cheap, easily produced .. it makes NO SENSE to me and stinks of malintent to silence and suppress it. Does that make sense?
duckdb is another good option as well.
Around your age I got fed up with webdev and moved into game dev. Took a massive paycut to do so, and worked my ass off like never before. But it probably set back my career because I ended up having to go back into web dev anyway after a few years after the company cratered.

I've now been out of the game dev industry for many years, but last year I took a brief contract doing that work. At $40/hour - which maybe is adequate for the 3rd world but not for the US. I could make nearly that much driving a truck.

So I don't recommend game dev. Unless you are a rock star, expect to be working a lot for peanuts. I believe even the actual gamedev rock stars could be making 2-4X by leaving the industry.
In raw performance, probably. The benefit these have (at least purportedly) is they're very energy efficient, consuming little power (and generating little heat) for comparatively large throughput.

So I can imagine someone wanting a few of these on a desk, running inference on some models or something, maybe as a small back-end for a hobby project. It may still be more power efficient to just use regular GPUs, but I suspect these win out because of the tight coupling between "CUDA cores" and the CPU.

Now, is that worth spending a bunch (many hundreds) of dollars on a carrier board and these Jetson modules? For me, no, but I at least see why it may appeal to some people.
How does this work today with processors that have more threads than physical cores?
Can you point me to the docs or those solutions? I haven't found them when I looked for. Of course there are tons of examples integrating with third party libraries, etc...but tying everything together is what worries me.
Can you elaborate a little bit? I don't want to assume what you were trying to say or put words in you mouth.

Is the accommodation temporary? Is it the offer? Are refugees temporarily here? Where is 'here' from the previous sentence?

I don't particularly like Google, but it is obvious that they are in the "Everything you say may be used against you" situation and they cannot simply take the fifth and cut off any communication among employees.

If you need to take into account that every single message sent over internal media may be one day combed by hostile investigators for anything that might be considered your wrongdoing, you need to be careful, regardless of your size.

They already have the decryption keys for iCloud. Undoubtedly they've already been running a similar CSAM filter server-side for ages. The only thing doing this stuff client side has done is reduce privacy and erode trust.
One reason for client side could be to save on datacenter compute resources. That would seem like a perfectly valid reason, if that’s their reasoning.
And a story may start with the first word, but if I present the word "Octopus" and say check out my story, you're going to be well within bounds to question me on it.
Looking at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4004551, their AWS bill was about $100,000 a month back in 2012.

So it was $100,000 a month for 18 millions visitors, and it is now $20,000,000 a month for 454 millions MAU.

Corey Quinn has to take a look at this.

2 collisions out of a million images. I'm not sure how big the CSAM database is but if it's a tens of thousands and there are millions of photos uploaded a day then Apple could have a problem on their hands. This is all extrapolating from a study that doesn't use photos representative of what people actually upload. I would suspect when most photos being uploaded are of humans the actual collision rate will be much higher.
Interesting concept. Basically the main use case in the demo video seems to be assessing the QTc in patients on sotalol and potentially uptitrating the dose? I’m surprised people are kept in hospital for three days to just check qtc for sotalol. I wonder if this is a US only thing because it doesn’t happen where I work. Also the video doesn’t make it clear which QT correction formula you use. If you’re using your own correction formula for AF is it published and validated?

It might be solid from a technical standpoint.
Once you built it, governments will be coming and asking for more.
Are you aware that the Chinese government already has been granted access to the infrastructure holding the keys to iCloud in China?
Given the corruption involved, doing that would likely end up with you becoming actually dead. The police are usually involved in these scams in the first place.

So I've been into web development for 4 years now. I've also been studying networking in the mean time and have been interested in cybersecurity too. Another thing I recently stumbled upon is blockchain - DApps etc. I want to be proficient in all of these fields. I'm thinking ultimately I want to become a great cybersec expert - have knowledge in lots of fields - like red/purple teaming and all that jazz - so that's why in the begging I thought that starting out as a developer is my best option since cybersec experts who truly know what they're doing have programming experience. So what I'm wondering now is what to do next. I want to continue with SWE for now since I can't get a job even as a pentester. In two/three months I'm planning on taking AZ-204. Should I go with OSCP after that since I have to get going in cybersec. Point me to a direction since I want to learn everything. Thanks.

I guess his point was that you know, the actual login screen should have happened before you were logged into the account. Then again, asking for re-confirmation after pressing "cancel" is also a common thing.

I think it should run smooth because I can play minecraft at 1440p at around 100 fps.

For me the Mad World one stutters before a single note is played: the repeater/clock seems to run, then stop, then "catches up", then stutters again, then one cycle smooth, etc. Sometimes notes are also just skipped, or only the last part of the soundbite is played.

I looked at cpu usage and it pegs a single thread to about 90% so maybe that explains it.
I do agree cancelling the subscription was difficult, but this was a horrendous effort at signing up people to their site. A sudden chat window to check if i'm interested. And then last page call to action trying to sign me up for more case studies in big bold buttons. The author doesn't seem to be following their own advice.
I think you missed the point of the first paragraph. The point is that you can now hide child porn by making its hash collide with innocent images. They won't ever make it to manual review. Ergo, NeuralHash is now useless.
I wouldn't be surprised if 1,431,168 photo uploads is what iCloud sees in an hour.
While I can't really know for sure, but based on perceived performance and smoothness, most likely M1 + MacOS already does something similar in terms of thread and process prioritisation. iOS has done this for a long time, making sure that rendering threads are not resource starved.

(It’s common for people to heedlessly miscapitalise, spelling ProductName as Productname or vice versa, which I can’t really get my head around as it’s not the way my mind ticks, but you’re in the much more interesting category of people consistently applying a more esoteric miscapitalisation, and I’m curious what leads to it. I’m trying to understand all this partly from simple curiosity and partly to help me with naming products.)
Your argument is persuasive, but I think it at least relies on a Common Law system and the jurisprudence of the English legal system and its descendants. In that context I would be inclined to agree.

All the same the term "constitution" was in use in the UK sense by the 17th century, though one may argue that your narrower definition can be traced to Roman and Classical Greek constitutions at least.
Why is this misdirected rant here? The author admits in the opening paragraph that the whole thing is based on one anecdote, and fixates on a minor point.
I don't think the comment refers to people, just to better ways of doing things. People learn.
Yeah that changed because it's now illegal in many places. In Europe you have to be able to cancel things the same way you subscribed.

Selling a dollar for 90 cents isn't revolutionary. Anyone can serve millions of customers when you operate out of the bounds of what's normally required for a business.
Presumably, it’s done this way so they can say computers other than your personal device do not scan photos and “look” at decrypted and potentially innocent photos. And technically the original image is never decrypted in iCloud by Apple - if 30 images are flagged they are then able to decrypt the CSAM scan meta data which contains resized thumbnails, for confirmation.

In summary, I’m guessing they tried to invent a way where their server software never has to decrypt and analyze original photos, so they stay encrypted at rest.
If you're embarrassed by a baby picture like that, just don't admit its you. Its not like people recognized this kid, right?

Why would anyone go to the effort of technical concealment[1] of CSAM when they could just resist the urge to import child porn in their phone's photo library in the first place? I've managed to resist the urge to import regular porn into my photo library, and being caught with regular porn is (at most) embarrassing. It's not potentially life-destroying.

It's inconceivable that anyone could desire possession of NCMEC-catalogued CSAM images without being aware that they're risking serious consequences if they're caught. Who wants their deepest, darkest, potentially life-ruining secrets just milling about with photos of the dog and last night's dinner?

[1] ...which is all but impossible for an average user to prove was effective; it's not like the Photos app has a "Not Child Porn!" checkmark.
What I'd like to see is faster node-to-node interconnects. Gigabit ethernet is very outdated.
Ye people seem to have way to high standards for mastering something. Being very good is mastering it. It is hard to be good at programming, but we are not talking genius level standards required to be regarded as good.
They don’t take any action unless you have 30 matches in the database, which will not happen by chance.
I don't think I would trust a huge corporation with this. Plus, leaving the review to some internal classified process where some poor faceless guy needs to reach an unrealistically high quota of reviewed images per day to get his bonus, might be a bit of a risk.
I don't think I have ever claimed to have been poor. On the contrary I grew up in a a very well to do place. But that's irrelevant.

> So having instant access to your wages may let you take a better job, and have a FAR GREATER IMPACT THAN SAVINGS.

This statement is completely baffling. Clearly, if you had 2 weeks worth of savings you would not need to take "a shittier job with worse pay just because it pays every two weeks instead of every four weeks". Imagine if you had two months worth, or six.

These are definitely payday loans by the way, the salary is not "yours" until you've received it, which per the contract happens at the end of the month, or week or whatever. So by definition you are borrowing money, even if there is no interest.

I agree that it's very positive if this can kill off traditional, predatory pay day loans, but I don't agree that this is a long term solution. And honestly, I think it will only increase the need. If people start living week to week instead of month to month, they will be MORE likely to need payday loans.

If you take any poor person in Latin America, you seem to imply that their situation, where they are constantly 5 days away from starvation, is inevitable. Remember, we are not talking about people that can't work, these people can and do work, they just don't have any savings and live hand to mouth. I claim that in the vast majority of these cases, the situation is avoidable.

Just consider the mathematics of it. What would it take to be 30 days away from starvation instead of 5? It's enough to lower your expenses by 8% for a year. Or 1% for 8 years. Or working 8% more for 1 year. Or starting to work a few months earlier.

If you have your own family, well then clearly the situation was entirely avoidable. You could have waited a few months to start the family, that would have solved it.
You're right, this approach is going to fall flat.

Imagine someone coming to you and saying it.
In my experience people rarely learn anything after you insult them and call their work ugly.

If AP had a "better way of doing things" maybe they should have actually given us an example of what it looks like.

Right now, all I think about R is that snobby, gatekeeping assholes use it to do things I can already do easily in SQL.

Yeah, I thought the same. He's probably only being recognized because he himself re-staged the album cover for Nirvana's 10th, 20th, and 25th anniversary.
It would be a shame if thousands of people regularly uploaded hash collisions to their iCloud overwhelming apples human review capacity
Especially after saying: "It's always been a positive thing and opened doors for me." He even has a Nevermind tattoo on his chest (at least in the picture in the article, I appreciate it could have been added for one of the number of shoots that recreate the cover).
It sounds like we're discussing a person who very specifically doesn't want to move up the hierarchy. But rather stay updated enough to keep afloat.
The guy isn't anti-dark pattern, they're pro-user perception. These are all case studies on how best to build a good user perception and what are the best places to put dark pattern in order to not hurt that.

That's not what happened here.

I get by just fine with FOSS alternatives. Just about the only thing that CC has that I haven't seen a good FOSS alternative for is pdf editing a la acrobat. Functionally I can still get by with a license of Acrobat 9 that's over a decade old.
Not that much smaller, actually. A typical run-of-the-mill turbine will have a capacity of 2.5MW. You can easily get up to 5MW onshore (but that's often constrained by proximity to villages or towns - renewable energy does not happen in or close to cities).
Given that he has the name of the album tattooed on his chest, and he agreed to remake the picture as an adult 6 years ago (even offering to be naked, which the photographer rejected) I'm gonna say this is just an attempt to cash in.

I found this approach shocking at first. After some time to get used to it I can see the advantages. With some experience I am now thinking about how to apply normalization concepts.

I'm still not sure where to draw the line on the single table. Should it be per application? Per account? Per collection? There are scaling benefits to going tall by distributing capacity units across more of the model.

On the other hand the idea of collections seems similar to foreign keys. In that case some kind of hybrid model where there is a DynamoDB table for each collection seems logical. But at that point I think we could still go "taller" and benefit from the shared capacity.

Food for thought.
What a disgusting attitude you have.
