Show HN: Using GitHub as Artifactory for Machine Learning Model Artifacts
Then you exist as a very skilled and rare software developer. Or what's more likely is that your lens of software development and software maintenance is quite different to the majority of web developers.
To be clear, Apples current actual activities is the same as Googles current actual activites. They scan files uploaded to their cloud services and report you to the authorities if they discover illegal material. Both companies are of course unable to detect CSAM in encrypted files, and Apple encrypts more files by default meaning that the impact of their current policy is somewhat less than Googles. Neither company has ever felt the need to make splashy press releases about this.

Apple additionally has said that they will (though have backed off on the timing to "some time in the future") said that they will use your hardware to scan your photos and have it report you to the authorities.
Outstanding pun
This seems a bit generalized. Yes, infrastructure as code/etc. are becoming more prevalent, but underneath there are still systems running.

While a lot of jobs can abstract away these things, they are still there, and very real. If more people had an understanding of the underlying operating systems and file systems we could mitigate a lot of vulnerabilities, or find performance issues that may otherwise be obstructed, or a myriad of other things.

Hacker News is in a bit of a bubble in that the answer to everything seems to be "kubernetes" or "$newHotSolution". I think part of it is that a lot of developers haven't actually worked with machines. At one point in time there was a post here about how hard it is to set up a LAMP stack, a task you could hand a first year sysadmin and they should be able to figure it out. Abstraction and automation are nice, but the underlying concepts are still important.
Thank you. Guess most powerful humans are at least a little psycho or at least neurotic. My underlying point still stands, SF is literally shit in the streets compared to top cities.
Imagine being a politician and proposing taxes on energy and fuels which will directly and indirectly increase the price of literally everything. Imagine all the hate currently being directed at Russia being redirected towards you personally.

Since when are we using so many chemicals in soap and deodorants? Since when is soap the mainstream thing for washing the body? I am just curious, I remember an ecotoxicologist detailing the interaction of deodorants with hormons, it was pretty scary.
Well, to be fair, C compilers produced significantly slower code back then. And when C++ came around, code that made heavy use of templates was dog slow until compiler technology caught up and could reliably inline templates. And Java was slow before it got generational GC and JIT.
The only people i know with a windows install are gamers, they are all on windows 10, for the rest it's either no PC/laptop or it's a MacBook

I think Windows 11 will be the last Windows before they move to a new one based on EdgeOS, similar to ChromeOS
You're leaving out the detail that the CSAM scanning and detection would only occur if you upload your photos to iCloud. If you don't have iCloud photos turned on, the scanning wouldn't happen.

Additionally, scanning would happen on-device at time of upload and not on Apple's servers.
In my country there is repairable writeoff and writeoff.

Writeoff means the car can never be registered again as the damage cannot be repaired safely.

Repairable writeoff means the its not financially viable to repair, but can be repaired safely if someone wanted to.
This is surprising that folks picked up React faster than Vue/svelte/solid. I suspect that they already have prior react knowledge
If they're only going to scan photos that will sync to iCloud Photos, why wouldn't they just keep doing it server-side? As far as it's publicly known, no one asked Apple to do this.
I believe that was the plan, initially, however the scanning was still happening on device. That has many people rightfully concerned that the scanning could extend to local-only images next.
> Atherton is a billionaire enclave in Palo Alto

100% factually incorrect. In addition to NOT being part of the City of Palo Alto, The Town of Atherton shares no land border with Palo Alto and is not even in the same COUNTY as Palo Alto. Maybe it's a good idea to learn about other cities, towns and people before you try to dictate land use policies from afar.
As I'm sure you are aware, the proposed change was for files synced to iCloud. This puts it in the same boat as the recent Google Photos incident which you appear to be ok with.

But, as you noted, Apple backed down on the proposal, so assuming that you still hold that cloud scanning is ok, Apple's approach, at least in this regard is at worst equal.
Well, no. They did pay to become the default and I guess it was a big enough hit to Google that Google opened the pocketbook.

> The true value of UML is that it reduces ambiguity and constrains risk through lightweight prototyping.

That was certainly not the original premise of UML. Booch et al came up with a grand idea «once you have UML, you will never have to write the code again and our tools (Rational Software) will generate your applications for you from the UML diagrams where everything is an object».

UML took ages in evolution and development, it was a collection of seemingly unrelated (or loosely related at best) diagramming approaches that, in practice, was rarely used in its entirety due to:

1. Being incomplete or lacking altogether in early stages of its evolution;
2. Being very heavy-weight and prohibitevely expensive tools (Rational Rose, doh!) from one vendor;
3. Generated code was bloated at best or did not work at worst and required substantial amounts of manual fixing up.

Most importantly, UML was initially focused on interactions taking place within a single isolated system whereas the industry had already started moving towards a distributed application interaction model.

There are a few useful parts in the UML universe, though. Sequence and ER diagrams are useful today, class diagrams can have some occasional limited value – to understand legacy frameworks and systems but are nearly never appropriate for describing new data models. Component diagrams are generally useful but almost no-one can read and understand them anymore. And cross-system, end-to-end business process view centric, interactions are much easier to represent with simple, BPMN-style, swimlane diagrams – the business crowd also finds them easy to read and comprehend.

UML, as a whole, was moribund from the beginning.
What value does this school provide compare to let's say Ohio State?

Cost 2x more with approximately the same rated programs, and much worse STEM like programs.

If I recall a big part of it was kids who couldn't get in anywhere else can took massive loans for a small college experience. And had equally small outcomes.

This college is very much a scam that provides an income for its staff at the expense of its student body.
People who can pay high prices will either pay them for the existing buildings or the newer fancier buildings. New buildings frees up the existing buildings for others to live in. Nobody thinks building luxury apartments is necessary so people can move from the street to a new luxury apartment - they think it is necessary so that people can move from the street to one of thousands of average apartments.
I name them

I find it funny that 25% of comments are people complaining that they didn't assess the effects of the vaccine. And yet those people will be the first to believe that there's a vast conspiracy against studying the effects of the vaccine. You can't really have it both ways, you know?

If you want to see governmental negligence, look no further than the fact that studies like this keep coming out, and no one in government is taking them seriously. Guess we'll all just die from heart problems from mild covid? The governments of the world seem entirely okay with that.
You can use the Chromium source code that Google contributes to, to browse the internet with and without ads and trackers that use obvious domain names: Microsoft Edge, Opera, Vivaldi, Bromite, ungoogled-chromium, Brave, Chrome.

You choose whether to shop at Google.

Google buying the default search engine position in browsers does not prevent users from changing the - possibly OpenSearch - browser search engine to DuckDuckGo or Ecosia.

You can force an address bar entry to a.tld/search=?${query} search w/:

Ctrl-L
?${query}

?how to change the default search engine

?how to block ads & trackers in {browser name}

?how to provide free search queries on a free search engine and have positive revenue after years of debt obligations to fairly build market share

You can choose to take their free s and search elsewhere, eh?

Why would they now get out of paying for Firefox development using a revenue model, too?

(Competitors can and do use e.g. google/bazel the open source clone of google/blaze, which is what Chromium builds were built with before gn. Here's Chromium/BUILD.bazel, for example: https://source.chromium.org/chromium/v8/v8.git/+/master:BUIL... )

Android (and /e/ and LineageOS) do allow you to install browsers other than the Chrome WebView and Chrome. Is it possible to install anything other than Safari (WebKit) on iOS devices? Maybe from another software repository like F-droid? Hopefully current downstream releases with signed manifests and SafetyNet scanning uploaded apps

I've worked on codebases like your's before, where in-house 'we can do it better' reigned. In my experience it never was better, and when the grand wizard holding it all together got hit by a bus, everyone was blocked.

Frameworks are a common understanding that people can plug and play into. And yes, that's a critical part of maintainable code, the ability for a person to quickly get up to speed and fix things.
I've had that issue. At first I thought it was because of heavy apps that I used.

Teams, WhatsApp and the likes.

I removed everything and it is still very slow in opening the browser.

I wanted to root it and check if it works but got confused as there are numerous choice available for rooting OS.
United Polaris hard product is good but the service is a joke. I have honestly had better service in economy on some (Asian) airlines. ANA business class is exceptional in comparison. I would never choose to fly United on that route. My last flight I was greeted with “Did I take your order yet? [They forgot… on a 1/4 full business class.] Ok, what do you want? … It’s chicken or fish. [No menus unlike nearly every airline in the world.] Great.” and that was 1 of 3 times a flight attendant talked to me on a 12 hour flight. Bizarre.
Is this the end of Udemy? Edx and Coursera have positioned themselves uniquely by offering online certificates and degrees from reputed universities. I've noticed that most of the content creators on Udemy have channels on YouTube as well. They usually offer free content to showcase their paid content on Udemy. They wouldn't have to do that anymore as they can just switch to Youtube.
That is a good idea for a game!

You think a for-profit company should invest in a feature/edge case that will never be used in an earnest or useful way?

The idea that you would earnestly search through 400 records only to not find what you are looking for --but the 401st record would-- is just not a realistic use-case.

Apple’s proposal scanned for KNOWN abuse images. It didn’t try to identify NEW images the way Google did.

So in the same situation Apple’s proposal (which was designed with the input of many experts to avoid false positives and respect privacy) COULD NOT have flagged the father.
I would like a self service way to get e sim codes when I want to do a lot of swapping
The author seems to be unaware of the large market for travel data esims. Airalo and Ubigi are two examples of user-facing resellers of these, which make buying a physical prepaid sim near obsolete.

I would say that for travel, esim is much better than sim. Given that seamless data roaming is one of the main features of Google Fi, this opinion is not uncommon.
Yeah complete non-apology.
1) Properly diffused air ducting, so there is no 'cold draft' when the system kicks on.

2) Steam shower / wet sauna

3) Security system with home automation to warn of surprising movements before they reach your door

4) small aquaculture setup for fish and veggies

5) solar / battery backup

6) solar water heater

7) whole house fan - when it is hotter inside than outside (front comes through, some weird fall/spring days), it will cycle all the air in the house in 30 minutes

8) dedicated zoom studio with lighting, sound, sound deadening, mic

9) library with sliding ladder.... always seems like the epitome of cool

10) stretch rack in bathroom (https://www.roguefitness.com/rogue-stall-bar-3-0)

11) induction cooktop

12) plumbed coffee machine

13) kitchen appliance storage (rotational or other high density method)

14) we added cans through out the halls, kitchen, and dining areas - it made a world of difference and I wish I had done it earlier

15) through wall aquarium
This article (or the people referenced in it) makes a big deal of SF not following the law while ignoring the fact these same people celebrate that SF ignores many other laws constantly.
When blinded by ideology it’s hard to see things in a clear light. Im sure not only Oberlin but other universities will learn from this. It’s the hefty $sum that will carry this message very far. While I think these lawsuits have ridiculous compensations, they do serve as a deterent in the future
Storage management is a real point here. When everything is a blob in a cloud, who really cares about the underlying details?
It's a town of 8000 people, of which 4000 are college students and staff.

When you gather that many social justice warriors together in a location where there is no actual injustice to prosecute, they will creatively invent some so that they can do the thing they enjoy doing.

You see a similar pattern with firefighters. When there haven't been many recent fires to put out, you start seeing more firefighters getting arrested for arson.
Those students are long gone though..
> "If you claim to support 'fundamental reforms' to Section 230 but can’t or won’t say what those reforms are, I have a hard time taking anything else you say seriously," said James Grimmelmann, a professor at Cornell Law School and Cornell Tech

Yup. There's basically no possible way to host user content online without 230. It's impossible to imagine America launching such a massive blow to it's face so swiftly as this pompous, fact free, meanspirited tirade that sadly both recent Presidents are way way way up on their high horse on, without ever having made any kind of a case. Emotional manipulation, fear uncertainty & doubt, & no justification, not even a hint of hoe we possibly could begin to keep the internet alive after this ultra-ton emp to the face.

There's basically no free speech online if sites are constantly afraid of their users. Operating a site like HN would be impossible if every time dang banned someome they could turn around & sue. Dropping 230 ends the internet.

Ethernet in every wall imaginable. I want to be able to punch through any random spot of drywall and grab a fistful of Cat 6.

If you're playing with dimensions for rooms, a secondary bedroom that's bigger than 3m x 3m is nice; even if you don't want a larger sleeping area, it's a good win as an office or hobby room with fewer compromises.

I'd love to see what's the state-of-the-science in terms of insulation. I suspect when you shop for yourself, you can get stuff contractors may not be interested in because it's not lowest bid.

Since the market went red-hot, I notice builders are no longer advertising aggressively on how efficient their houses are. I wonder if they switched back to cardboard walls and 7-SEER AC units when they realized they could sell the houses faster than they could build them and no longer had to make anything compelling.
I don't disagree that iOS handles downloaded files terribly (Safari does notify you when your file is downloading/finished, but in a very subtle way by adding a download icon navigation bar).

However, using an anecdote of an uncommon use case being bad hardly supports the conclusion of your last sentence.
There are not plenty of resources. There are people on the street willing and desperate to enter rehab - and no rehab facility they can enter. There are people living in hospital emergency rooms waiting for a space to open in mental health treatment facilities. This is absolutely false, and spreading this misinformation directly contributes to redirecting time and money and public sentiment away from creation of these resources, and towards the pointless, inhumane attempts to punish people for not taking advantage of opportunities that do not exist.
I’d really love if this could be used to store your json structure like a DB, similar to CastleDB.

Sounds to me like you have a fundamental trust problem between you and your co founder. You need to fix this (if that’s still possible) if you want to play an active role at the company going forward.
I don't doubt that's what you see.

What I get for: "starfish buttercup pickle mouse"

is exactly one result [About 1 results (0.32 seconds)], which is your YC post.

Removing the quotes gives me [About 34 results (0.63 seconds)].

The difference is that I have setup Google to show 100 results per page by default. I believe that this allows the (very approximate) results estimation algorithm to be more accurate. When I switch to 10 results, I get [About 591,000 results (0.53 seconds)]. Feel free to verify that this is the case for you as well.

There is no foul play here. I work at search serving, I've seen that algorithm. My personal opinion is that nobody cared to improve it because almost nobody (modulo YC crowd) cares.
No, I expect them to list the number of results within an order of magnitude of what is available for the user to review, which would be an accurate and reasonable report for what is provided.

And if they want to offer your proposed crazy edge case as a service, folks needing it are willing to pay for organized information that is deep.
Wow. It’s a little surreal to see YouTube build an “interactive” video learning playhead similar to ones I and others have built in our past.

It will be interesting to see how YouTube balances current incentives for long videos compared with online learning often being better delivered in many cases through short videos, known by many names (bite size videos, micro learning).

Learning videos are a lot of work to make and even more work to update, and updates are guaranteed. This provides some tools but whether it eases the workflow wha to hope will happen, it would empower a lot of subject experts.

Structured content is a great idea. Hopefully this won’t go away like the previous features for annotating and interactive in the past.

Having offline capabilities for this learning content is important if it is learning for the many and not the few.

YouTube in some ways is the worlds largest LMS already from a content perspective. We just may be heading into a post LMS world.

I once interviewed a guy for a clearly vanilla JS position and he only could work with React. He literally could not declare a variable in vanilla and display it in a hello world html element.

I completely understand his approach, was someone breaking into web dev and people demand frameworks and not vanilla, but definitely felt weird to me.
If you have the left sock you know the other one is the right sock.

I guess my question here is when you measure one entangled bit, does it always collapse to the same state or can it be either of the two states? Based on my understanding it’s the former right?
What's the last blog.google product launch that didn't fail miraculously?
What a strange concern. Sending hashes of images as you take them to a remote server is very easy to do in any OS update, if they really wanted to betray their customer base's privacy expectations like that.

IMO the more logical guess as to the actual reason Apple wants to do this - to approach e2e encrypted iCloud photos in a LE-friendly way.
Reminds me of HTML Imports. Wish those had become a thing.
Just for a point of reference: Unless Google has someone increased their profit dramatically with respect to Android over the past 5 years and I don’t see how since Android’s market share hasn’t changed that much since 2016, Apple makes far more from Google in mobile than Google makes from Android.

My understanding is that images will not be bit identical due to GPU physics and decimal precision. Images from the same seed may be for all practical intents and purposes indistinguishable - but there are some flipped bits involved.
