Thanks for the tips. Yes, the subjective experience I'm looking for is tinkering-and-independence-satisfaction.
While I am sympathetic with the developer, a large part of fault lies with them. Firewall actually behaved very nicely.

Always check status codes. Don't assume that backend (even if it is your own server) behaves as you think it should - complain when the response is not what you would have expected.

This is why I hate those error responses that encode the error message into JSON and return status 200. Gee, thanks - your backend is so special that it is an honor to write custom error handling for it. /s

Glad OP solved it in the end, but I would suggest reacting to all 4xx and 5xx statuses. It's a standard, if you get 418 you know what "your" backend is saying.
Sure but as has been pointed out, the likely explanation is that this is a function being performed locally for indexing or thumb nail generation.

Nobody has come close to showing anything malicious or that data is being exfiltrated, so why is this a problem?
You got filtered.
What market are you in? I tried IG ads before and it never really worked compared to other platforms (including FB).
>There's a dedicated security chip onboard

That isn't bad per-se. It's about what runs in that chip. It might simply be available to you to run whatever code you want, or just leave permanently off.

It's amazing to see a 32 year old chunk of hardware remain active and useful to this day. And projected to remain functioning for another 15 years.

While James Webb has become the new celebrity satellite, Hubble is still cranking out scans every week. It even caught some of the DART impact last week[1].

> Hans made his improvements during Covid times

None of the similarly rated players at the same age did anything similar during "Covid times and The Queens' Gambit boom".

Watch the videos I linked at the end of my comment and tell me how covid times contribute to that anomaly.
The evidence for that quotation is weak. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32937710#32938981.
Inlflation is bad. Specially because is a "tax" that affects the poorest population, that this days the origin is not rare, because the state prints money like crazy, to achieve its goals in the short term.

what, no, you have this all wrong. the complexity of multiplying two 4x4 matrices is clearly constant. the important thing about the constant, however, is that you can use this primitive on the block matrices recursively to possibly improve the asymptotic complexity.

the complexity improvement in this paper is for arithmetic in Z_2 (modular arithmetic over single bits). in standard arithmetic, there is no asymptotic complexity improvement but the developed algorithms involve more efficiently fusible[0] operations, which is useful for the target hardware.

[0] ed: this used to read 'with fewer multiplications,' which is clearly wrong: fewer multiplications would lower complexity. Interestingly, the discovered algorithm seems to have a larger number of additions, but still runs faster.
So, if I send you a QR code via iMessage the URL in it will automatically be hit, using your IP address and browser/OS details. Wow that's quite an attack vector.

Isn’t multiplying two 4x4 matrices a finite problem? What does big O complexity mean in that case?
Literally every country in Southeast Asia had far, far fewer deaths because they were able to contain the spread far better than the US. Just spend 2 minutes looking at the statistics.

Australia had 15,000 total deaths compared to the US's 1 million.

> Even China which has dealt with new viral outbreaks before (I'm ignoring any insinuation of their foreknowledge of covid), is STILL struggling.

Struggling is a relative term. China has reported 5k deaths from COVID. Even if you don't believe numbers from the CCP, even 10x that (50k deaths) is far, far better than the US.

Right now, China is "struggling" because they're still clinging to zero-covid policies. They'll lock an entire neighborhood down over a few cases.

As you probably know, these things grow exponentially, so containing the spread at the very start is really, really crucial.

We were completely blind during the start of the pandemic due almost entirely to failures by the CDC.
Hooks, by themselves, can be ok, since you avoid componentDidMount, componentDidUnmount, etc.

I’ve started enjoying functional components more once I realized I could destructure props in the function parameters rather than in the very first line of the method.

Do you seriously believe that your IP is private?

Do you know every site that has received your ip address?

I think the honest answer to both of these questions has to be no.

> This doesn't have to anything nefarious

It doesn't have to be explicitly nefarious to be a privacy issue. I'm sure there's some perfectly innocuous reason Apple could come up with for doing this, but unless and until Apple is forthcoming with those reasons and is transparent in how this is implemented (i.e. by providing source code) I have zero reason to take any such reason at face value.

Transparency is a dependency of trust. Apple is not transparent, and therefore is not trustworthy - especially when it's running a full-blown crawler on ostensibly-private messages.
Ms Chandler, please don't use us as a marketing channel for your company.
100%. Sounds like a great OWASP project to capture those best practices doesn't it ? Want to volunteer ? ;-)
That's a terrible analogy. Language evolves and so the ways to hurt people with language evolves, so there is no singular limit to set.

If you don't agree that people can be hurt with language, than you don't agree with content moderation in the first place so your objection is meaningless... those who don't agree that people can be hurt with language arguing about content moderation is like those who hate all cheese arguing over what we should put on the cheese plate.
install ubuntu server either locally or on a cheap VM

read the ubuntu server docs about setting up a firewall and get started setting up a firewall that only allows inbound ssh and https ( be careful and don't firewall yourself out of your system! :) )

https://ubuntu.com/server/docs/security-firewall

from there, read the docs on setting up a webserver and create an index.html with just the text "hello world"
https://ubuntu.com/server/docs/web-servers-apache

from there, read and learn how to setup letsencrypt as manual as possible
https://letsencrypt.org/how-it-works/

buy a domain and learn how to setup A records to point your domain to your external IP. Your domain registrar will allow you to make your own dns records

https://www.cloudflare.com/learning/dns/dns-records/dns-a-re...

if you can get https://mycustomdomain.com/index.html to output hello world in your browser with no certificate warnings then you've learned enough to start tackling self-hosting some packaged service out there. You'll at least know enough to know what to search for when looking for answers.

if you're installing all this on a computer in your home network then you'll need to login to your home router and port forward 443 to your ubuntu server. This would be a good learning experience too
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_forwarding

edit: if you're looking for hardware to buy i've heard mac minis work really well for home servers. you wouldn't be installing ubuntu server in that case, you'd be following mac docs for firewalling and webserver setup.
This will be solved by taxes, inflation, war, or a combination of the three, sadly.
This sounds like most of the early ISPs I worked at. No firewalls, and switches weren't popular yet, so we had hubs. The "backbone" of the ISP network was the same as the main office network. Any employee could just tcpdump all the traffic. Actually, we had a couple of customer-owned servers that were colocated, that could also dump all the traffic. Eventually someone set up a firewall (Linux box with dual ethernets) to segment the colo traffic.
I was engaged in dialog with the Google engineer who is suing Google for "censoring" content. This person still maintains that Sandyhook was a false flag operation and is bent about that being "censored".

If you've followed the trial of Alex Jones regarding this you'll learn that in court he admits it's not true. But his fans still think it's the case, and meanwhile have terrorized parents of the victims.

Some speech should not be amplified, it's a shame that you can't recognize that.
It's great to see plans to boost the orbit, but I'm thinking it's going to need some maintenance as well fairly soon.
I work in finance and I am not sure if I want to applaud or feel for people starting neobanks. The amount of regulation and infrastructure needed to deal with other people’s or companies’ money is downright insane and requires tons of upfront investment.

Maybe I do not understand what “neobank” is. Is it that they concentrate on a very narrow part of banking functionality that is relatively light on regulation? Or do they try to creatively interpret the regulation, Uber-style?
>This headline strikes me as dishonest and political to the extreme.

The headline is quite literally without bias. It is 100% unbiased and completely factual.

The article may try to make (or not make) a big deal of what means but by definition you couldn't write a less biased headline.
People keep saying this yet don't see the irony in it.

You're openly admitting that censorship is necessary to keep your desired candidate and less censorship will hinder the political efforts of a "specific" party.
Yup. Though--- I do wonder about the desire to keep it functioning at all costs. Servicing is expensive: humans and their consumables aren't cheap.

I wonder what we'd get instead if we dumped equivalent or slightly more resources into a new telescope, instead.
We need to have a conversation about how most of these tools are about coping with anxiety, stress and information hoarding rather than handling complex work. I sometimes mess around Trello more than I do real work but at least I've stopped introducing new tools into my life.
Similar privacy issues of URL prefetching aside, this is actually not exactly the same.

URL prefetching is usually only expected to happen "on demand" while you're using stuff (e.g. generating link previews when they appear). What's described here seems to imply it is preemptively happening to files "at rest".

Also, automatic prefetching can be turned off in most places that have it, so ideally the user should be able to configure a setting to disable loading those URLs.
you will be awash in offers since you are at a peak of two curves -- recent work output and zero seniority for benefits, salary and authority

I predict further race to the bottom in this way, similar to putting 14 year old girls in Olympic Gymnastics, as was done and eventually outlawed. Expect smart high school students in low-income economies to be in demand, and aggressive mob types to make front companies to handle anything about the money
The few places I talked to seem to actually require it (along with intake forms and questionnaires).
It seems “simple” from a chemistry perspective. But as pointed out, the special part is that this is simple chemistry, _that also works in standard biological conditions_ without harming biology: bio-orthogonal. So it allows complex chemistries to be brought into biological contexts easily and completely. So the discoveries made with this novel chemistry will be biological in nature. That makes for an awkward audience when one is siloed either on the chemistry side or the biology side and can’t quite see how much of a door is opened when you combine the disciplines.
I'm not a total libertarian nor a total communist, but I don't know why an elected government is worse than an unelected corporation at deciding what gets done with private property.
I am extremely excited for this technology to mature to a point where realtime novel view synthesis becomes possible. The idea of being able to take a few photographs and be able to recreate an appreciably decent 6DOF viewing experience is a very powerful enabling technology.

Nerfstudio looks like something that is finally accessible enough that I will be able to start experimenting without having to spend enormous amounts of effort on tooling. Can't wait to check it out! It looks like some of the processing pipelines might be a good fit for merging with WebODM to make it even more friendly to work with.
Making the "per year" explicit:

Large shareholders want you to suck the value in the company dry to attempt to artificially pump the stock shorter term. They'd never hire anybody that would actually do what's necessary to fix what's going on. They want the short-term pump approach put into action, they don't care about ten years from now. Microsoft also dealt with this scenario during the Ballmer years (flat stock, very low PE, massive buybacks & dividends; which did nothing for the stock).

Facebook is caught in the IBM self-fulfilling spiral of death. It's the financial engineering direction as the stock wilts and the multiple is compressed lower; that FB began buying back its overvalued stock, destroying its cash because they had no idea what to do with it, was a big signal.

During October-December 2021 they spent $19.2 billion on stock buybacks. Around 58 million shares. The stock was ~$330-$340 then, now it's $136 (those 58m shares are worth sub $8b now). It's a clown show. Those people have no idea what they're doing.
What kind of a headline is this?

90% of US adults say they are experiencing a mental health crisis? no!

90% of US adult say that the country is experiencing a mental health crisis.

Why not ask experts instead???
Hey I'm really worried about sending out the wrong signal here, so let
me tell you it was not a picnic. NOT a picnic! But it was a walk
on the park, so to speak.

And I definitely wouldn't let myself go out of shape like that again
thinking it would be an easy ride home. Basically I stomped my A1C
almost in half, from 50 (knocking on the door of diabetic) down to 30
(complete remission to decent health) - so totally mullahed it. Doc
says that's at the limits of medical science, so I was pretty
chuffed. Need to maintain now with IF and regular workout.

What it cost me was:

IF, 12 or 18 hour sessions once (occasionally twice) per week.

Diet change to 80% plant based, more raw veg, nuts, fish

Setting a reminder to drink water

Walking 20 miles twice a week with a full pack (that's where most
people will wobble a bit).

Cold water sea swimming (you get used to it)

I added two tricks. One is to walk on sand. Other is replace lost
weight by stuffing a modular armour jacket with little sand bags in
the plate pockets. When I dropped from 95kg to 90kg I just added 5
kilos of sand and so on. This happens gradually. When you carry around
the weight you lost it keeps the calorie burn the same per mile and
really motivates you because you can literally feel how much lighter
you are when you take the vest off. Also you can just drop weight if
you get exhausted on a long yomp.

Yes I am lucky too. I live in a place with opportunity for outdoor
activity. Probably good metabolic genetics. Made time to do the health
work by dropping some contracts (I consider it an investment in myself
like college etc) Also I took the diagnosis seriously and researched
an action plan.
Data exfiltration is not necessary for this to be a privacy concern; data becomes a liability as soon as it's collected even locally.

EDIT: in this case, however, data exfiltration is happening, by means of Apple's closed-source software blindly sending HTTP requests to unknown servers. Apple might not be the recipient of the exfiltrated data, but the exfiltration is happening nonetheless.
I'm willing to bet that if you triggered a spotlight database rebuild that it would be triggered in that process. My guess is that spotlight sees an image to index, ocrs all the text and adds it to the index. It probably also detects qr codes and generates a 'preview' of their content by following the link. Possible it may also do that if you were to take a picture of a url clearly enough that it could be OCRed.
I do basically this, plus I add WAF rules in Cloudflare to block access from any other country than my own (I live in a 1X mio country so no USA, Russia, China). Do I need to set up e.g. Tailscale etc to make it more secure?
If you're going to make an app like this, at least use electron or something similar and create an integrated package instead of relying on a python UI over a bunch of command line tools.

Also how does it compare to Nvidia Instant Nerf (performance etc)?
The language used throughout this thread is terrible; "better click on it" you think an AV is literally loading up a full browser and forcing it to navigate to a random link it finds in a QR code on an image?

Even the title uses the word "executed" as if a QR code is "runnable" in some way; it's not. QR code related hacks are not some magical "scan this image and get pwnd", they're related to browser exploits and other methods of forcing code execution by way of the browser.

To my knowledge there have never been any "offline" QR code hacks, where simply scanning the QR code itself has ever lead to an exploit. AV is generally dumb, but simply converting a QR code itself is harmless.
Could Hubble be feasibly operational past 2037 without maintenance? Would this just be a boost mission or repair also?
You are correct. I will edit.
I doubt it will be solved by taxes. Americans would rather have their currency devalued than pay higher taxes. (Yes I know the dollar is strong now, but what does that say about other currencies?) We’re screwing future generations and ourselves due to the greediness of the ruling class and the stupidity of the working class that keeps voting with the ruling class.

Edit: I’m surprised people were able to even read this post before they downvoted it. I don’t mind downvotes, but at least comment why I’m wrong please.
"Let people I don't agree with speak" !== "Societal damage"
We didn't stop paying debt though, so that's not true. Also, a large part of why inflation is so high now is the PPP.
note that this algorithm will no longer be good. for precisions up to roughly 1000 bits small tables combined with minimax polynomials are optimal and for higher precision, you want to use more complicated methods. if you're interested, the ARB library unlikely the currently fastest known methods.
It's a fair point, like jaequery's SPOF sibling remark. I think ultimately my goal is to have local/remote redundancy, and get to the point where I am sufficiently informed to trust myself to administer everything.

>>This headline strikes me as dishonest and political to the extreme.

It's Fox News, they become more and more sensationalist and political-tabloid by the day
The problem of using computer vision to compute distances to moving 3D objects in any weather conditions is too general - it is precisely the generalized vision problem I was talking about.

Ultrasonic or radar or lidar sensors are much simpler solutions to the problem of computing distances, as they do not rely on computer vision.

Note that the reason this problem is very hard for computer vision is that there is simply not enough information in a 2D picture to get 3D distance information, even with parallax. Our eyes also can't solve this problem. Instead, our visual system uses numerous heuristics based on our inherent understanding of simple classical physics and the world around us.

For example, we recognize that a particular blob of color represents a car, and that cars are solid objects, where each part of the car moves at the same speed as each other part (this assumption breaks if something flies off the car). We recognize that objects throw shadows, and what effect shadows have on color, so we can very easily tell the contours of an object even if it's speckled in light and shadow. We also know what approximate sizes cars are, and that means we can immediately differentiate a far away car from a close one. We also know that cars sitting on the road are probably moving, while cars on the sidewalk are probably parked, and that again helps us estimate their movement based on relatively little data.

If you don't believe that depth perception is based on far more than parallax, just try to explain how come people/animals with a single eye can still estimate distances to a very good degree (not enough to be marksmen, but more than enough not to run into walls).
I don't doubt the sentiment is true, but hasn't this kind of science always been this way? By that I mean authors inflating the importance of their work; everyone wants to be seen as having the biggest breakthroughs.

When I think of dysfunction in 'science' I usually think of unfalsifiable hypothesis, the repeatability crisis in Psychology, p-hacking in Medicine, misuse of statistical methods in Economics and other epistemic issues, but I don't think of exaggerations like this.

For good reason. Stuff like that is a really high risk and won’t meet audit standards.

I’m in charge of the IT goons somewhere. We aspire to provide a better level of service and maintain local repos of things you’re allowed to use. Stuff like Node isn’t allowed near anything important though.

I would be careful. An agency doing stuff like that is probably running an EDR that will detect and report on what you’re doing. If it catches what you’re up to, you’ll be jammed up.
