Yeah but I'm not aware of any repos that use it as a stock file manager..
A lot of these comments are really disgusting. Kudos to the few trying to call then out.

There have been many firsthand accounts of those that have escaped North Korea and shared what it’s like to live there. Concentration camps, starving, torture, chemical warfare experiments on prisoners, famine.

A firsthand account from a female that escaped from North Korea shared that the North Korea government will shutdown the power grid without notice and then raid homes looking for DVDs stuck in players (because no power to eject) and will kill those people responsible.

Those that escape North Korea across the river to China are caught and put into sex trafficking. China is complicit in supporting the horrible treatment of the North Korean people.

At least one source.

I'm pretty sure my current project is my worst. I've been making a web forum platform from scratch, and I've paid for a bunch of 3rd party integrations (like cloudflare, mailgun, etc.), and have bought a dozen or so domain names. It's futile because forums are incredibly out of vogue right now. But it's a fun diversion.

Signal provided no new evidence of this claim, and the existing evidence they did provide seems to support Facebook's side of the story (as I explained more here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33900582).

I just don't see the motivation for Signal to hold back this evidence if what they're saying is true. It would be so easy for them to go and screenshot an email or page saying "this ad is rejected" - why don't they? The only way it makes sense is that they don't have this evidence, because they're lying.
Podman also has an open-source GUI project called Podman Desktop going on, in addition to their CLI: https://podman-desktop.io/

Oh and in the same space there is Rancher Desktop as well (which has the excellent K3s under the hood): https://rancherdesktop.io/

Personally, I'll probably keep using Docker Desktop on some platforms anyways as long as there won't be licensing issues, because it's just so boring and (mostly) stable at this point.

> seriously, anyone at this point advocating for any other phone/os/service out there besides apple is really going out of their way to swim up river.

Their software is not open source. Before this announcement you had to trust Apple not to look into the files you store in the cloud, now you have to trust that they're actually going to encrypt your files and not save the decryption key. Ultimately you still have to trust Apple.
A combination of any open source OS, any cloud provider and Cryptomator or Veracrypt wouldn't require as much trust in one company.

The Canadian government was very quick to criticize China's response to the recent protests against lockdowns. Truly breathtaking how these same people were calling for financial and physical consequences for anyone who opposed lockdowns and vaccinations less than a year ago.
You are correct, but how could Apple solve this issue without hashing? Syncing files alone without E2E is tricky. I can't imagine a way to sync files between devices without having some sort of hash or id.

I'm not presupposing anything, I'm looking at the available evidence and the actions of the actors involved and coming to a conclusion. If anything, I hate Meta/Facebook, I think they are a net negative to the world, and I probably came into this with a mental bias against them.

It actually had developers. It was a political move by the devs against joynet who were refusing to give up full control of nodejs.
Well ok... the problem stops right there then. Why would anyone expect -- given the low adoption of IPv6 -- IPv6 sans NAT64 to be workable? Why even bother without it?

I don't imagine it would be hard to locate any number of IPv6 zealots proselytizing a NAT64-less world, but here we have someone that made a legitimate effort to apply IPv6 and failed because it wasn't there. One fewer potential convert added to the pile...
Interestingly, Code models are constrained even more by difficulties of tokenization in light of - most crucially - us not having actually that much code to train on (we already train on all of of github, and it doesn't "saturate" the model).

At this stage, we are back to improving model efficiency, I think, especially for code models. But not there yet.

Sorry for the rambling, the actual answer is no I do not have a really good codex type model in open source.. yet
We sure missed the point here on HN:

I don't get it. If you don't trust Apple, then you don't take photos with an iPhone. There is no possible service they could offer that assures you every bit of data and metadata is obfuscated end to end in any sense of before Apple software has a chance to see it. At bare minimum, the camera app has to put together a file before there is anything to encrypt. A malicious Apple could just keep a second copy of that file, and even if you used a different backup service, they'd still have it.
Recovery keys were part of iCloud Keychain end-to-end encryption when used without "two-factor authentication", which is now a deprecated setup and can't be used with new iCloud accounts anymore:

https://support.apple.com/guide/security/secure-icloud-keych... (describes how both approaches work)

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204915 (documents that two-factor authentication is now effectively mandatory, which makes using recovery keys impossible)

The device PIN is now exclusively used (off-device!) for iCloud end-to-end encryption key recovery: https://support.apple.com/guide/security/escrow-security-for...
Agreed - it seems like HN got brigaded here.

I very much value a diverse discussion forum, and am happy to see “alt-right” viewpoints in this thread, but it’s very unusual to see those viewpoints expressed in a flood of low-effort posts. Something’s afoot.

Yes, there is ambiguity if you want to achieve both readability and pronunciation accuracy.

If you want to just encode the "data" or just get close (but not exact) pronunciation, you can do reasonably well, though nowhere near as good as Cyrillic.

If you want full parity, you just can't. Not unless you rewrite the entire language's grammar and re-teach people how to read Latin script in a way that is very different from how it is read in other languages.
Client side scanning was scrapped because 80% of the internet couldn't understand how the implementation worked.

It’s not impractical for Apple and Microsoft literally does it. I’m not saying MSDN is perfect, but it’s a very expansive and thorough documentation of (almost) everything in Windows.

Because a lot of ignorant Americans think open, decentralized cryptocurrencies like bitcoin and ethereum are a scam.
I'm assuming these are normal checksums (bitwise hashes), whereas before they were doing a hand-wavy AI-based thing that they called "checksums" but weren't really. The latter captured rough visual qualities of the images in question, which is why it had a false-positives problem. A real checksum shouldn't have that problem; in theory you'd only be able to detect an exact match of a file you already have and are looking for. So it is meaningfully different.

Edit: confirmed that these are regular, real checksums https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202303

> The raw byte checksums of the file content and the file name
This is always going to be the biggest barrier, even if there were no concerns around e.g. third-party IP, sanitisation, etc. Apple don't want to end up implicitly committing to supporting every element of the current M1 hardware forever.

I'm Canadian

The thing that really scared the shit out of all my peers wasn't punishing people, it was the locking bank accounts and taking money from people with absolutely no due process at all.

No trial, no charges, just government doesn't like you, you're money is now gone.

This is a line that had never been crossed before and instantly hurt Canada's reputation on the world stage. I had friends from the Bahamas, not FTX related:) and Europe reach out on the day after it went public to ask what the hell is going on with Canada.

It was a huge black eye for Canada.

I know alot of people who immediately sent money out of the country, to the US, crypto, to foreign realestate.

I'm still proudly Canadian, but the harm our government did by taking money with absolutely no judicial oversite can not be overstated.

We used to be a country of laws, the government just set the precedent that they no longer need courts.

I still live here, have assets here and pay taxes here, but governments bypassing the courts and taking peoples assets with no oversite is a line that just should never have happened.

And to be clear, I wasn't happy about the convoy and I do think that blocking border crossing was something that shouldn't have happened, but the police should have dealt with it, not the government by reaching into peoples accounts and taking money from them without a court order.
>as long as you have older devices connected to your Apple ID

Is it possible to have an old device connected to Apple ID, Find My enabled and iCloud backups/sync disabled for ADP to work on your newer devices?

Having no backups/sync on the old devices is fine, presumably people who care about encryption have that turned off at the current state of matters anyway.
so do I. no ads is best. but some ads are native to the medium and unavoidable
Backfill Considerations
The CSAM scanning was only enabled if you had iCloud uploads enable.

They would've only scanned the files that would end up in the cloud anyway.

But people went "omg my files", stuck their fingers in their ears and refused to read the damn spec.

I would hope a large feature like this would have had a lot more public user testing/refinement behind it than just one RC build release!

It's not "twisted into uselessness"... the reduction in routing table size comes from the large address space. No twisting was needed.

Also, the routing tables we're talking about here need to be stored in TCAM. Content-addressed memory is a lot more expensive than regular DRAM.
Nearby to me is the Microsoft HQ campus. Few miles away is Amazon, not to mention most every other major software company. Even SpaceX has an office here.

There is no reason to not enable end-to-end encrypted iCloud backups on your Apple Device if you already actively decided to trust Apple by buying a device from them that stores most of your most valuable private data on a day-to-day basis.

Apple already implemented a solution to scan content on your Device before it gets encrypted and sent to the cloud (Communication Safety feature) that is sitting in your phone since iOS 15.2. So, they don't need to have a look at your encrypted iCloud Backups, theoretically, they could always look at it on your device before it gets encrypted and shipped to the cloud.

They promise that none of those scans or resulting data leaves your device, but since it's a closed source platform, and you have no way to verify that claim independently, it all boils down to a single question.

Do you trust Apple?

If you can answer that question with yes, then making the most of the new security features is a no-brainer, as they significantly lower the risk of your data leaking in the cloud in case their servers get hacked or simply human error on their part.

If you can answer that question with no, don't own Apple devices.
Certainly no one loves whatever hellhole preceded systemd. It turns out that (some) complexity is non-reducible; if a declarative, properly solved service manager doesn’t cut it, then neither does that shitty ad-hoc bash script system abomination with race conditions.
I went to a selective uni where I thought basically half my year at high school would have been just fine there. The other half were not particularly interested in studying anything and would have screwed up at any university.

It's not like the laws of physics depend on what college teaches them, right? The content of just about any course is going to be more or less the same. A lot of the books were the same as well, comparing notes with friends who didn't get in.
The majority of increases in wildfires over the last 2 decades has happened in boreal forests, largely in Canada and Siberia, and a bit in Alaska. There was never much fire management going on in these places.

What about turning off Airdrop in China when the people need it most ?
Microsoft had something around 95% of the desktop market share in the 90s. Apple is not anywhere close that. I would agree it's similar in behavior but not intent. Microsoft was terrified of the Internet and applications that could "run anywhere" so they tried to control how people accessed the Internet. Apple is arguably adding these features because it's what their user's want.
Puts the green in soylent green
I feel like this is overstating how good things were.

Yes, my ZX Spectrum and Amiga both came with some very nice documentation to at least the block level on how everything worked - but at the same time, every programming manual for the Amiga was an expensive Addison-Wesley tome. Every programming language beyond BASIC was an expensive proprietary product. It wasn't the paradise people seem to (mis-)remember.
What Web3 could learn from Twitter’s timeline architecture
On November 13th, Elon Musk apologized for Twitter doing more than 1,000 RPCs to render a user’s home timeline. The issues that Twitter faces remind me of the current growing pains in Web3: developers are often forced to serially call many APIs one by one to get the data for assembling the business logic. This results in unreliable and unpredictable performance, even for the simplest use cases, such as getting a user’s transaction history.

In this blog post, we highlight what Web3 can learn from Twitter’s solution to scale. Specifically, we discuss the following:
1. We outline Twitter’s timeline infrastructure journey, argue that it is a deliberate trade-off to provide optimized and predictable read performance for the end users.
2. We dive deeper into the technical similarities between Twitter and Web3, and explore how solutions in the former may benefit solutions in the latter.
3. We analyze the current Web3 growth trends and conclude that significant upgrades are needed, and how ZettaBlock solution could help developers reduce the development time by 70% and boost performance by 10x, a demo could be found at https://demo.zettablock.dev/
If you have a main account on HN that isn't a brand new throwaway, you're literally not speaking for yourself by using an alt here.
They planned to scan only the files that would end up in the cloud anyway.

iCloud off -> no local CSAM scan.

Local CSAM scan with multiple failsafes (+ actual person checking) + E2EE iCloud -> zero need to allow law enforcement access to iCloud servers. This would also mean that Apple cloud've encrypted them in such a way that even they can't access them.
Preventing Future Deaths
In the UK when someone dies and a coroner thinks that the death could have been prevented they have a legal duty to file a structured Preventing Future Deaths report with the Chief Coroner. The Chief Coroner has a legal duty to publicly share Preventing Future Death reports in order to help to prevent future deaths. Sadly, they are shared as PDFs.[1]

I thought searchable preventing future deaths reports (which I've done by scraping them and sticking them in tantivy search)[2] would be a helpful first step to finding common and recurring themes to help prevention.
What do you think?

High school in Paris. A PDP 11/32 running BASIC on a teletype. I learned how to make ASCII art posters copied from Creative Computing magazine. Independently invented/rediscovered run length encoding.
That always made the most sense as the reason for attempting that. I agree with some concerns about it surely being abused (especially in some jurisdictions) but on the other hand they can ship whatever software they want to the devices anyway so the idea that this was some sly way to sneak in spying that they couldn't otherwise get away with made no sense. Doing it out of a desire to enable more encryption without instantly becoming the overwhelmingly-preferred platform for child porn enthusiasts was a far more likely explanation.

Curious what they're going to do to mitigate that repetitional risk now. Possibly they'll just eat it and say, "look, this is what you fuckers wanted, we tried to solve the problem but you said no."

Not thrilled to see what the next showdown between them and e.g. the FBI is gonna look like. I expect it's not gonna look good in the court of public opinion and that might have unfortunate legislative consequences.

[EDIT] Actually, wouldn't be surprised if they wait until the first high-profile case involving their inability to deliver data on someone who probably is a disgusting scumbag, and use that as cover to go ahead with the local-CSAM-scanning-for-iCloud-uploads, once it's 100% clear what'll happen if they don't and the no-scanning crowd isn't the loudest set of voices anymore.
