Yeah, Facebook's blog post makes me wonder what all the stuff they report actually is. When people say CSAM, I think "kids getting raped" but apparently there's stuff that people find humorous or outrageous and spread it like a meme (and not like pornography).

"We found that more than 90% of this content was the same as or visually similar to previously reported content. And copies of just six videos were responsible for more than half of the child exploitative content we reported in that time period."

"we evaluated 150 accounts that we reported to NCMEC for uploading child exploitative content in July and August of 2020 and January 2021, and we estimate that more than 75% of these people did not exhibit malicious intent (i.e. did not intend to harm a child). Instead, they appeared to share for other reasons, such as outrage or in poor humor (i.e. a child’s genitals being bitten by an animal)."

Based on this, I wouldn't conclude that FB is the platform where people pedos go share their stash of child porn.

Their numbers also include Instagram, which I believe is quite popular among teenagers? I wonder how likely it is for teens' own selfies and group pics get flagged and reported to NCMEC.

Not that it disproves your point, but Edinburgh taxi service has always been in a league of its own. I have seldom seen one take more than 2 minutes to arrive, even in the days when you had to gasp telephone. I think there's some clever organization on the backend. Whatever makes Uber work, the whole regulatory-end-run driver-exploitation angle is not essential to it.
Thank you. I hope you like it.
It may make sense, but it also makes no sense. CNNs already have full view of the entire input image. That's how discriminators are able to discriminate in GANs.

We added attention and observed no benefits at all in our GAN experiments.
It'd assume its just "asymmetric SMT" as a model. Each "hardware core" is seen as 2x big hardware thread + 1x small hardware thread.

The 2x big hardware threads are from the big-core (SMT / Hyperthreading), while the 1x small hardware thread is the small-core.

Since this chip is 8-big cores + 8 little cores, the math works out.

-----

A future chip is rumored to be 8-big cores + 16 little cores, which can be implemented instead as 2x big-threads + 2x little-thread cluster (1x big core + 2 little cores per cluster).

Though of course, that depends heavily upon the implementation details of this "Thread Director".
> In other words, these counties can only change states if they're able to get 320 million people to sign off on the change.

Huh? They need:

(1) a simple majority of each legislative house in Idaho, which is 18+36=54 people

(2) a simple majority of each legislative house in Colorado, which is 18+33=51 people, and

(3) a simple majority of each House of Congress, which is 51+218=269 people

for a total of 269+54+51=374 people. Your 320 million estimate is off by about 6 orders of magnitude.

(Even if you make the rather unrrasonable assumption that they need to convince enough unique voters to guarantee the election of a sufficient majority in each involved legislature—i.e., you assume that every eligible voter treats every Idaho, Colorado, and federal legislative election as a single issue referendum on the issue—you’ll find that the number is a very small fraction of the ~240 million eligible voters in the US.)
Does this pattern ever work in Adobe' favor? Do people get that deep into the process then think "yeah, I do love Adobe CC. I'll not cancel actually" ? Are people who are trying to save 120$/year really so put off by this process that they don't do it?
Yet we somehow have food, water, and electricity. The problem isn't that its essential, it's that we grant monopolies, limit competition, and overall break any systemic feedback loops.
My grandparents had a Zenith console TV that had a remote control that used ultrasonic tuning forks. [0] The tuner had presets and some sort of stepper or solenoid driving it. Hit the channel up button, and CLACK! thump-thump-thump you'd go to your next preset. You could make the TV do random things by jingling keys or coins.

I love sql and have tried Postgres and posgraphile. The idea is really attractive, having the datastore home ask the business logic. But it’s kind of a pain to maintain and make changes. Plus there’s not a huge ecosystem around it like django, ruby, Phoenix, next has. And then there’s the whole exit thing— it’s not popular enough to find cheap developers to maintain it.

> The Battle of Blair Mountain was the largest labor uprising in United States history and the largest armed uprising since the American Civil War. The conflict occurred in Logan County, West Virginia, as part of the Coal Wars, a series of early-20th-century labor disputes in Appalachia. Up to 100 people were killed, and many more arrested.

> The battle ended after approximately one million rounds were fired and the United States Army, represented by the West Virginia Army National Guard led by McDowell County native William Eubanks, intervened by presidential order.
Yea, and once you get on a track, you're pretty much there for good. There's a narrow range of "promotions" within that track, but no jumping tracks anymore. If you're flipping burgers at McDonalds, you can't just "hard-work" your way to owning that store. If you're 3rd junior engineer from the left at your tech company, you can hard-work your way up to senior, maybe even principal engineer, but you will statistically never be able to hard-work your way to CEO. If you're a nurse, you're never going to hard-work your way to being a doctor. And so on. The higher-status jobs are all gate-kept by social class pedigree and credentialism.
yeah there has definitely been work done in that space: it’s called multi-modal models

> Or, they achieved the objective, but they found their own solution instead of being forced to have it spelled out for them.

The objective here is getting the promotion.

> I commonly encounter people who have these degrees but are unable to figure out how to accomplish an objective unless every step is presented as a bullet-point list in the task description.

Irrelevant - the company isn't using the degree as an indicator of competence, they are using it as an indicator of compliance.

> Having a degree is not the objective,

You're correct. Getting the promotion is the objective.

> being able to do the work is.

Being able to do the work is irrelevant if the candidate does not meet the minimum requirements set by the organisation.

The reason you're getting down voted, I would guess, is that that is not the way CSAM scanning works.

Apple have a list of photos they know are CSAM, or rather hashes of them, and the look for those and only those on your device.

They also introduced another thing that scans your kid's incoming and outgoing messages for what look like dodgy photos - that does look at general photo content (rather than compare to a list) which has been the source of a lot of the confusion.

(FWIW I still think the CSAM scanning is an incredibly bad idea and horribly slippery slope to start sliding on.)
With the caveat already noticed for selection bias (maybe the smart criminals never get caught?), there's definitely some evidence to support this. https://law.jrank.org/pages/1363/Intelligence-Crime-Measurin...
The reality is that perfect UX rarely converts as well as nagging CTAs like this.

He could have stuck the "Read more Studies like this" CTA at the end of the presentation where it would be non-intrusive.

But people like me are not going to read all the way to the end. This a slideshow, and tapping Right Arrow to reveal each thought bubble is irritatingly slow way to go through the story.

It's a creative one, but it's far too slow to effectively communicate this level of minutiae (e.g. "email subject line is truncated in Gmail's desktop UI").
It seems reasonable to me that a small but not insignificant market could emerge around providing convenience for this.
They see a "visual derivative" of the original.

Hey "quantumBerry" -- What a username to behold!

While I find this post witty and well-written ("some serious sympathy farming"!), I don't follow where the parent post was suggesting anything about MIT CS grads on OnlyFans. Do I misunderstand? (Zero trolling.)
"the teacher said it could be CP"

So the POV paraphrased was: someone could consider it CP, I'm not going to argue whether it is or isn't, but it will be disruptive and I'm here to teach and the class to learn so let's nip this in the bud and get on with my lesson.

I thought that was a very reasonable take on the situation which was getting disruptive first period history class. much more reasonable than a suspension or the like.
In these discussions, where there is fierce opposition on this question, wouldn't it make sense to explicitly filter for this on hiring and have some companies that look for [for lack of a better word] extroverted people, and others for introverts?

Sure if you work in an industry where you're competing among a very small pool of highly-skilled specialists, you can't afford to miss out on key talent. But if we're talking about web devs for a start-up, why not?
I stopped using those sites, instead. I figure that if they're so far up in themselves that they want to employ such user-hostile design, I'm probably not missing much if I just move on and read something else.

You can buy recycling paper too, it's not pretty but at least you know it's made from recycled materials.

Also, that page says we'll run out of fresh water in 18 years and the source is literally a single quote from one person. Seems a bit sketchy.
I've held the same opinion for a long time, but this news gave me pause. Why would it be worth paying for data that can trace VPN traffic if they weren't doing _something_?
It wasn't child porn when it was created, but times change. I have noticed that the BBC has started censoring the image (QI) whereas British productions in the past have not (TheBoatThatRocked). Jurisprudence changes. Since Nevermind was published, even nudity is no longer a requirement for child porn in the US. While I don't agree, I don't think the question is the total slam dunk it was decades ago.

Close. It's not who you know, it's who knows you.
I've actually heard that quite often and it seems anecdotally true to me, but is there actually any study to prove this?
So they can choose the option to have the hardware with software and pay for it? Consistent with parent's proposal.
If that's true, then why isn't he pursuing that as an argument rather than claiming it's child porn?
Reader mode is awesome and it makes a lot of the web actually usable.
I tend to agree with tools either being good at code or data. I'm sure eventually there will be a solution, but for now it's a lot of bespoke tooling.

Docker can be a headache at times, but being able to maintain a consistent environment is very handy. For the large binary resources (trained models, dataset, etc) I've found it easy enough to just use docker volumes to mount read only resources. Other people have resorted to leaving read only assets on the local network which might be fast enough for your needs. As long as you're not unintentionally copying data, mounting a TB of data read only takes no time in my experience.
Pretty sure it's d3 of one form or another.
I read all my books on the iPad. No hassle at all.
Is it really an image of "himself" though? Being a baby is more like a larval form, there isn't really a connection for an audience to make between a photo of a newborn and a photo of an adult.
What I'm trying to get at is usually when you say something like "nude image of himself" we are used to thinking that the image is an identifying one. But a baby picture isn't identifying in the same way, even to yourself, until some one informs you of the connection.
It feels like a different circumstance, you know?
We all process things differently, but making a joke of something that hurts is a VERY common way of dealing.

Idk if his claims of trauma are real or not, but I'll tell you what - that image was worth more than the ~$200 his parents got for it and on those grounds alone I'd award him a few hundred thousand.
The CSAM database is not generated by an AI. Actual people hand-pick the worst images to include in the list.
He can say whatever he wants, but that would seem extremely unlikely.

Major record companies have legal departments. They're not going to greenlight an album cover without rights to the images. Anyone who works in publishing knows how strictly this stuff is treated at a major label.
> It is noteworthy as the first published book in which Verne was cautionary, and somewhat pessimistic about the development of science and technology.

The only other book in which Verne was similarly pessimistic that I'm aware of is 'Paris in the Twentieth Century', which was originally considered too negative for publication.

Tangent: That comment showed me, after 40+ years of adult working, that any individual person is filling multiple roles, each defined by other peoples' perspectives and needs. Indeed, that individual may not even be aware that they are in those roles, much less that those roles may be crucial to those other people.

Note that I almost edited "multiple roles" to "multiple work roles," but this probably applies to most social relationships.

Huh.
I suspected something like this would happen.

As an adult company they thrive on controversy. If they found a group willing to invest at the scale that they need, sparking controversy like this is low hanging fruit for exposure and (hopefully) a quick boost to growth that an investor would want.

I guess the risk is going from possible 50%+ ownership of a a company worth a few millions or tens of millions to much less ownership of a company worth roughly the same amount if it fails to grow. Or the risk of being forced out of control, I guess.

I think that's a good illustration of why people do it. 10% of a $20 million dollar company is still worth something and even if you lost ten or twenty million or so from theoretically doing nothing, having 10% of a multi-billion dollar company is worth a whole lot, so people like that gamble.
I'm not sure what "state-sanction professional association" means but there are many professional associations like IEEE (covering tech as a whole) or ACM (that covers computing specifically).

There's also ABET - Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology - which establishes formal requirements and standards for the teaching of Software Engineering as a discipline: https://www.abet.org/accreditation/

So I think those pieces are there, they're just not the norm yet.
Doubtful. The biggest downside of transformers for vision is how ungodly long they take to produce results. Tesla has to operate in realtime.
If you read through some of Alan Kay's other Quora posts there is some more context behind this. It goes a bit deeper than just the tools we build. We don't think like programmers about the act of programming.

Fred Brooks' essay "No Silver Bullet" has a list of past breakthroughs. These are examples of applying programming to programming to ease cognitive load 10x. The essay predicts that we won't see any more of those types of improvements. But we haven't even scratched the surface when it comes to the CAD and SIM tooling for programming. There are many silver bullets left to build.

Looking to the tools for the success is the definition of cargo culting.

A written signed document is not the only way to make a legal agreement, it's just the most easily referenced and proven one. The parents consented to letting a professional photographer take photos of their child to use in commercial work, and nobody appears to dispute that.

Nope.

There was a little upkick at the start of the pandemic according to Sandvine, but Sandvine's methodology is not watertight and lots of people staying at home with not much to do seems a more likely culprit than service fragmentation.
Joel Spolsky has written about this problem extensively. The best devs are not available and are not looking. I have seen many, many LinkedIn profiles for people who are insanely technical (much more than me) who literally write: "Headhunters: Go away!" LOL.

Obsidian has a community GitHub backup plugin, but you can also just manually push to a repo whenever you want to update the site. Then you can use that repo as a proto-CMS, and pull it in with, say, NextJS to create a static site. Anything with built in CI (Vercel, Netlify, GH Actions) should be able to detect the change to the CMS repo and rebuild your static site. Both steps are quite easy (took me under 10 minutes total).

That said, if you don’t need special control over your content/presentation, then you could alternatively just pay Obsidian $8 a month for their Publish feature.

Sure, but you ignored the part where he's ill-intended. This is obviously not bothering him given that he willingly recreated the picture in the past to milk money out of it.
good point, I should try this
If he wanted to sue, he really should have just gone for the consent angle and not the child porn one. Who exactly would agree that it's pornographic or exploitative? I doubt the vast majority of reasonable people would see the body of an infant in its natural form as anything but innocent on its own, but what do I know. They should have to demonstrate that the dollar bill makes people see the art as depicting child sex work; if this is requested somehow by the defendants, the glove won't fit. This may be a missing detail, but he should have just asked the record company for some money before escalating it. If he did that and they refused, I'm sure that would have been a part of the news story.

The logical end to the argument is that children should never appear in any kind of commercial media because they can't consent, which... come on man. Worst of all, though I'm no lawyer, it seems like there's definitely a non-zero chance he'll get counter-sued by each defendant when his own lawsuit falls apart.
