Well, no, it's not perfectly possible to recreate a singular human vision system and capture and reproduce imagery to match that.

But actually, we have lots of excellent, well-researched and proven standards for accuracy in imaging. Cameras generally target those standards, certainly professional ones. Many cameras - quite clearly - can produce very accurate photographs.

The more worrying trend is that of pervasive post-processing, where we depart from reality and entertain aesthetics.
As much as possible avoid providing your phone number to the services that you use.

Many of them don't have a separate toggle for phone-based recovery so as soon as you provide the phone you are opting-in for phone-based recovery which makes you vulnerable.

I think all services should have a specific checkbox for this option, if they insist on SMS recovery stuff.

Long story, but some time ago I managed to convince my phone provider to require a "password" when I call them. They had added a saved note against my customer record advising any support agent to ask for the password. I rarely called them but I did see it actually working when I later interacted with them and they asked me the password. I don't recommend this approach at all as it's not reliable.
I think the first way to protect yourself is to switch from T-Mobile they have notoriously bad security. In fact with all the recent leaks I don’t understand what they can do to actually safeguard accounts against SIM swap attacks.

The most secure way to protect against SIM swap attacks is not to use a SIM based number for 2fa. I’d suggest using a Twilio, Telnyx, or similar service where you have more control over the number and even the porting process.

Why waste good 'RAM' on swap? Why not set up Google Drive for ALL your filesystems?
Yes, they should check for any possible breaches. As any other responsbile company already does, like AWS for example which not only checks for breaches, but also scans public repositories like GitHub and GitLab for leaked credentials. A company should also warn a user from time to time that the respective needs to update his password, some companies are so careless that they don't even pay attention to this latter small detail. Or at least to warn an account holder that he still has an account with them.

> and that makes your faulty memory their problem

It is not only memory that is flawed in humans. Hence the protective measures I'm proposing.

> against known breaches

What about the unknown ones? How do you protect your user's account when under GDPR Dropbox is the controller of the data? By sending mails ocassionally to update the password, to adopt 2FA, by locking account due to suspicious activity or to purge it in the end if no further action is taken. It ends with the deletion of the user.

You can't just tell someone they're not allowed to take food from your plate, while simultaneously not providing anything for them to eat.

There is no longer any plot of land anywhere that is not owned by someone else. Think of those plot of land as plates. One who doesn't own any of it is hungry, you tell them to get their own food, but they can't take from any of the plates of anyone else, so you can't use any land to try and get your food from. Now this person tells those who have all the food, hey I have the right to food as well, and people say, I don't think that's a necessity, well why is your right to your land and your plates of food a necessity as well? You can't have it both ways. If you want to have the right to own the plates of food, you must also provide food to others somehow, because you've taken up all of the abilities to get food from others.

Yes, you can appreciate the technology and the engineering involved. My comment and issue is towards the general mass adoption, car focused infrastructure. I don't want them eliminated entirely, they are still useful, certain people do have use cases. But I am sure for the vast majority of people their dependence could be quite reduced by supporting alternatives. There are plenty of disabled people that can't drive, and plenty of old people that can still ride a bike. I just see these arguments come up every time on HN and they are too focused on specifics.
It does mean that the quality is acceptable enough to the buyer at that price, and that says a lot.
Isn't this a trivial example though? You require bucket size >= 10 say.

Full on differential privacy is meant to address harder problems. For example, if you assume that there was a minor bug and people were asked to take the mandatory yearly survey again in a week.

Now if you assume that the responses of people who responded before will stay the same when they re-respond, then by taking the difference between both results you can identify some specific people by looking at which bucket counts changed - this would be how the new guy who joined in that week voted.

Differential privacy techniques are meant to anonymise data in way that you can't even do this.
This is an egregiously editorialized headline, but this was the easiest way to submit two separate links to LKML in one HN submission --- link to Fillipo's tweet about those links.

It matters as words are useful for communication only if we can come to some agreement about what they mean.

What you're suggesting is that people accept that the cost of avoiding COVID and "flattening the curve" isn't worth it, and that we just let the curve do its thing. Hopefully the result that it will either become endemic or extinct, but neither of those are certain.
>If proof-of-work chains are putting out the same amount of energy as the total energy expenditure of gaming, then proof-of-work chains are not an environmentally feasible solution at scale.

Chain capacity does not scale as new miners are added. Bitcoin/Ethereum does not consume more energy as more people use it.

>Looking at total energy expenditure and ignoring the actual amount of usage that energy expenditure allows is just a flawed way of thinking about these comparisons.

Not really, you're trying to include subjective value into the simple issue of wasting energy. From my point of view, videogames are less important than having a decentralized monetary system. Now what?

I'm an amateur bird photographer. My camera + lens setup is far too big and heavy to carry around when not birding.

But it makes a huge difference in image quality compared to digiscoping with a smartphone (or even the same camera with an adapter). See these images[1] taken with a smartphone + telescope, camera + telescope, and camera + telephoto lens. The telescope has more reach, but substantially worse image quality and requires a tripod. The last shot handheld is the first day I got the lens, I've gotten much better with practice.

Even when I have my camera, I've got a 200-600mm lens on it for the vast majority of the time. My phone has a 14mm equivalent focal length, so if there's a pretty landscape I'm just going to use my phone. The widest lens for the camera I even own only goes out to 28mm, so even swapping lenses doesn't get me as wide an angle as my phone can get. As a bird photographer I have no intention of ever getting dedicated landscape lenses.

Agreed with both comments above. The genuine pros I come across (quite a lot btw, not that I truly understand them) seem to value consistency and reliability more than they do 'features'. They like gear that does what they expect. I was watching a portrait photographer work with flash in a studio recently. He spent 0 time tinkering with his camera, and most of the rest arranging lighting, reflectors, backgrounds, shooting charts for colour profiling, viewing things on his tethered screen and moving his model.
It really is too bad that they lost their Waitrose deal. The machinery is nothing unless you have a product I want to buy.
I think I worded my original post poorly. I am completely in favour of having a fixed time for already created works regardless of the time of the authors death.

In regards to your example, the publisher has a contractual obligation with the author, which is obviously part of the estate.

My argument is that even if the author has a deal with a publisher for a particular book, that should not prevent others from being able to create new books, movies, games, etc based on that book.

As a counter example, imagine a 25 year old, with a wife, who would have been able to create the best game ever in 2010. Unfortunately he dies in 2015.

The game would have sold millions of copies if it was published, but unfortunately the character of Mickey Mouse is integral to it, so because of copyright the game cannot be made until 2024 - 58 years after Walt Disney's death and 96 years after the first appearance of the character.

There is a very big difference here. In your example, you've clearly entered into someone else's property; in the case of reading the info sent to your computer... I am reading a thing you sent me!

A more accurate version of your analogy is if I asked to hold a police officer's tazer and he handed me his gun by accident... or even if I asked to see his gun and he handed it to me thinking it was empty, but it was in fact loaded.

Point being, the website essentially put that information on my computer! I am asking for something from them, but what they give me is 100% their business! They don't have to obey my request but they do have to not-send-private-data-to-random-people-who-ask-for-it
> I hope this doesn't come across as excessively smug but I think my life, level of stress and personal finances are measurably improved by owning something that is closer to a $9000 Toyota Corolla and spending money on regular, basic maintenance for it.

Agreed. My criteria for a car now is that it has to have a large aftermarket for parts, and it needs to be serviceable by pretty much any mechanic. Corollas and similar cars fit that bill perfectly.

You pay for netflix yet you can't watch stuff you want. You search for a film and it shows up on the search autocomplete and yet it's not there. Why? Copyright bullshit nobody cares about.

Films that used to be in your list mysteriously disappear. You swear it was there but it's not. It's like netflix is gaslighting you. Sometimes you try to watch something only to be greeted by an ominous "last day to watch on netflix" notice. You thought you were paying for a subscription but it was really a long term rental that you have no idea when it expires. They simply take stuff away. Whenever something new shows up instead of being excited you now wonder how long it will take for them to take it away too. Cowboy Bebop? I wonder how long that's gonna last.

Whatever scraps and leftovers you do get is ruined by quality issues: extremely compressed encodes, shitty video player software, cropping, changes, sometimes they can't even get the episodes in the correct order which means I'd be watching it backwards. You now wonder if what you're watching on netflix is the best version. You now wonder if the netflix version is censored or altered in any way. I find myself searching for reddit discussions on a series to see if netflix screwed it up.

You entertain the notion of paying for other services as well but you discover their apps are even shittier and they still don't have what you want to watch. You remember facts such as amazon's non-existent customer service and the industry's tendency to profile you based on what you watch. You realize that paying money to these people is a lot like being in an abusive relationship.
Again, just because people are willing to pay a price for a product that works doesn't automatically mean they're going to get one that does, which is why companies like Consumer Reports exist. They're in the business of ensuring that products that companies put out actually meet the standards they claim.
What on earth are you talking about?

Of course people can be mad at Apple specifically for the reasons already outlined:

1. This is a long term pattern of behaviour from them.

2. They promised they would fix it. While everyone seems to agree that as the largest company in the world they are entirely capable of doing that the fact is they didn’t.

3. There is zero chance that any of this is happening without their knowledge. That excuse worked the first time but not now.

Anyone who fits that pattern is of course fair game but don’t pull that kind of nonsense where unless you criticise everything that is wrong in tech supply chains than you are secretly “just a hater”.

If you claim that we should hold Apple to account for their word how exactly do you suggest we go about change?
Can you give out some examples here? I saw Tesla’s Model Y in person and the build quality seemed on par if not better than my 3-series.
It is the same phrasing used when any automaker recalls vehicles.
What's your personal experience with Tesla mobile service?
In all fairness, the classical "dev from hell" who views users with contempt is not a new phenomenon, and just putting my own thumb in the wind it's less common now than a couple decades ago; modern programmers seem to find it easier to recognize that blaming the user for a problem does nothing to fix the problem. I always hated those blame-the-user/customer types.

But devs have a lot less authority in the modern corporate bureaucracy, and what I think of as "the product people" are the source of not so much contempt, but just a lack of interest in practical, useful outcomes. Product "vision" is harder than it looks, and in my mind, that product vision is the singular most important job in the whole dang world. When vision succeeds, it's often coming from customer-obsessed, fully committed founder types. When it fails, it's often coming from bureaucratic functionaries who care about titles and politics and other insider nonsense. Add in a dismissive wave of the hand to devs who complain "But this doesn't make any sense!" and you've got a recipe for slow death.
Your probability estimate is off by a dozen orders of magnitude. As a back of the napkin estimate, an iPhone with 8GB has 64 billion bits that can be flipped. One bit flip per week per user would already be extremely bad, as it would mean on average one random crash or case of data corruption per week.

If you suppose the bit flip happens in the CPU registers, the number of state changes on a modern CPU is so incredibly huge that a random bit flip doesn't just cause a memory load from a wrong address or a crash is, again, much less probable than 1/1e9 odds, by a lot.

And as explained in my other comment, you'd have to show that this behaviour can be expressed in one bit. Is there a bit anywhere in the iOS hardware and software that by changing from 0 to 1 can run a code path that replaces your face with a leaf? I doubt that.

I stand by Occam's razor. This happens because it's a bug introduced by its programmers rather than a random gamma ray that turned a bit to 1.
Casting your PCB in resin might do the trick.
> there's no shortage of reviews and videos of actual Teslas made by people who don't work for Tesla.

The whole point of this thread is criticizing a company, Consumer Reports, that does exactly this. The message I responded implied that high demand automatically means a quality product, while Consumer Reports is downgrading Tesla's rating.
You can set Apple's devices to shoot RAW, and it's usually pretty great, without the painting-like qualities of its default image processing.
I know very little about cars, but a cursory search shows that both the Model 3 and Model Y are about ~60% more expensive than the top-selling sedans and SUVs in the US. They're also both in the same rough ballpark as popular "luxury" car labels (Lincoln, BMW), so I think "luxury" is a fair descriptor.

> I'm sick and tired of Twitter slacktivism that does not fix these issues, and the real sad part is that there's real suffering that ought to be fixed.

I agree, but I don't understand your point. This comment feels like an expression of impotent rage. And as justified as it may be I don't feel like it adds to the conversation.

This did not happen overnight and it will not be solved overnight. There always has been and always will be plenty of people and companies that will do anything to make a buck.

We can't just scrap the global economy to start over and the international community has trouble getting countries/people to acknowledge basic human rights; let alone less major ethical problems.

It's extremely difficult to get people to care about anything outside of their own daily lives and the number of things they can care about is extremely limited. I'm not a fan of "slacktivism" as you label it, but it is SOMETHING. It's frustrating that it's not more and also I'm frustrated that I won't do more myself.

So what is your thought about how to replace slacktivism and what should replace it?

I don't think they could be legally forced to use specific algorithms - most laws state the ends ("privacy"), not the means.

In the old world of analog marketing, you had market research companies (Nielsen, Kantar, GfK) to measure the audience and provide benchmarks.

One way to help curb the power of adtech companies would be to force them to let go of measurement. That would require adjustments to privacy laws, creating a specific data processor for audiences role.
I assumed the point would be to store all of the salt values ever used server side and never allow reuse of a salt. That way if the hash is captured but has already been used then it is useless.
Apple possibly caught a break here.

It could have been worse and people would probably have accused Apple of being bigoted or something else.
Why wouldn't that apply to every car brand?
