> Really?(!), how's that? It's a direct, verbatim quote from the (your?) blog post.

wow, now i think you're just trolling.

The direct quote was this:

>Twitter had an apparent and now resolved regression allowing CSAM to be posted to public profiles [...]

You then went on to make several statements/claims, such as:

1. "@elonmusk for making this one of their priorities when he let the sink in"

2. "it was quickly resolved"

3. An open question for the reader is "why was this ignored for almost a decade?".

Each one of those statements are incorrect readings of the report and none of them are justified by the quote you pulled from it.

On (1): There's no evidence that elon musk made this a priority. Given that it broke after he bought twitter and that they didn't detect that it broke and that it took weeks to fix it when they were informed of it, I think the evidence points to the exact opposite (i.e. it's not a priority).

On (2): weeks is not "quickly", and the "quickly" was your own thing, the report only says that it was resolved.

On (3): as you've been informed, this wasn't broken for almost a decade, it was broken after musk acquired twitter.

`Ibn Arabi has a splendid take on the entire affair. I read it in Toshihiko Izutsu’s Sufism and Taoism and it blew me away. In the Qur’an, the Muslim scripture, the story is touched upon, with an angel arriving just in the nick of time to tell Abraham to cease:

“””And when they had both submitted and he put him down upon his forehead, 104. We called to him, "O Abraham. You have fulfilled* the vision." Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good. Indeed, this was the clear trial. And We ransomed him with a great sacrifice”””

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abraham_in_Islam#Sacrifice

*Ibn Arabi has this as “you have believed the dream”.

“”” Then when the boy reached the age to work with him, Abraham said, “O my dear son! I have seen in a dream that I ˹must˺ sacrifice you. So tell me what you think.” He replied, “O my dear father! Do as you are commanded. Allah willing, you will find me steadfast.”
”””

In Izutzu [1] we read how Ibn Arabi, a very influential Muslim mystic-saint, had read the narrative as Abraham being still in thrall of the illusion of materiality (“the world”) and reading the signs of God literally. This vision then, a great trial, was entirely designed to knock sense into him, awakening him to a higher consciousness.

I am not talking about which has more inherent 'power'.

I am talking about who is incentivized to employ intrusive surveillance to influence our lives.
Which are corporations.

For example look at this "free" 55" TV:

https://www.cnet.com/tech/home-entertainment/telly-offers-fr...

While U.S. Government does have a lot of competing interests that makes the management and control of such a costly surveillance apparatus highly unlikely (I am not talking about just listening to communication traffic but actively trying to run private American lives). That is, there isn't a way for one party to hold control over that operation and keep it hidden to such a degree as to not risk losing that power when different people get elected.

Compared to PRC there's already enough concentrated power to do an operation like that.

Answer me this question: If the U.S. government had a secret national surveillance system to have control over our lives, what would they actually be influencing us to do?

Taking the Roman Empire as an example: Rome was by far the largest city in the empire at a total of ~1 million people. The others were estimated to have 500 thousand or fewer, with only 25-30% of the population living in a city at all.

Modern cities are enormous by comparison and our urbanization rate is completely flipped. 80% of people in the US live in a city, and we have 50 metro areas with a higher population than Rome had during the empire. Our largest metro area is New York/Newark/Jersey City at 20 million people, 20x that of imperial Rome.

And remember that Rome itself was an anomaly in its day, and the Roman Empire in general was an anomaly in European history.
This is a common straw man argument.

It does always devolve into the same discussion, I agree. All of the evidence says it doesn't work well. One guy says "but it does for me!" And the discussion ends.

In some situations with well marked, simple road design, it works great. Give it a multiple-lane turn intersection to navigate and things get interesting. Give it a three lane turn where the outermost lane is fairly sharp, and it will just cut across the middle lane because it seems to have a built-in limit on how hard it can turn the wheel.

What's noteworthy is that it doesn't significantly improve with each revision. It'll get a little better, then regress, over and over, but still the fundamentals are unreliable. At some point maybe it becomes clear that the current strategy is topped out.

I do think it tends to be better behaved than AP on the highway, though, so I look forward to a stack merge there.

From the comments, you desperately want to believe in this non-human thing for whatever reasons. No one else believes that is actually true. So far, your arguments are that Grusch is telling the truth and no one is listening to him. You have ignored all the contrary evidence including the fact there is nothing documented, he has repeated what someone has said to him and that our sensors and our senses are not infallible.

Why do you think non-human tech exists?

In the highside crash video the motorcycle wobbles shortly before the crash. This reminds me of the death wobble in which the steering goes out of control.
I drive (raced in the past) and fly. I also occasionally play flight sims and racing games with some appropriate accessories.

I am terrible at the sims. I am literally seconds faster in a real car (on a 62 second circuit) than the sim, due to all the additional sensory input in reality. I can barely land a simulated plane but have not messed up a landing since training over three decades ago.

So, yes, it is astonishing how much all our senses go into driving, beyond sight.

"Pedophiles have their chosen hashtags, too. Search terms such as #pedobait and variations on #mnsfw (“minor not safe for work”) had been used to tag thousands of posts... Following queries from the Journal, Meta said it is in the process of banning such terms."

It seems like any concrete examples used in the article are likely to be the first ones removed by Meta (if they haven't already done so). Also if you try typing in weird keywords to see illegal content because you don't trust journalists Idk how you can effectively accuse those same journalists as advertising them. As an analogy, I don't think anyone would accuse someone of advertising drugs just because the information they spread about the dangers of fentanyl could hypothetically be used by someone to distinguish real fentanyl from other substances.
A regression means that PhotoDNA scanning was working, and then stopped working correctly. This happened in the last several months, well after Mr. Musk's takeover.

I think it is good that they fixed it. That is why we directly reached out to them to help address the issue before we published. I think it is bad that they cut off our API access and are threatening academic researchers with lawsuits.
"Bro" started in slang as a way of indicating you consider someone a brother in spirit, precisely because it was an abbreviation for "brother".

But it ceased being used that way a while ago. Now, it's largely used to indicate a certain personality type (at least in my neck of the woods).

was part of a company that was putting out mass market tv/radio ads. i was in a group that got some previews and we were asked for feedback. "Save up to 30%" and "save up to 40%" were phrases thrown around. I mentioned that our average customer was actually saving closer to 50% (often more), and asked why we didn't just say that. Head of marketing guy said those numbers were generally not believed by most viewers. I was only there a few months at that time - they'd been running variations for years, and had some numbers to back that up (website clicks, call volume, etc). We could have said "up to 45% or more!" which... is technically 'true', but confusing and awkward to anyone who parses the whole thing. And "save up to 53%!" just didn't come across as believable, even when we had the data to show it.
any sort that only uses comparisons is provably not better than n log n. Hence whatever Thorup is, it doesn't work for arbitrary input, and must assume something further, something like "all elements under 1000 or something"

The thing is, based on so many examples of people who cite “the science” that are clearly exaggerated or unsupported “just an opinion” isn’t too far off.

It shouldn’t be this way, but there’s a lot of undermining of trust in science because of this stuff.

Take evolution as an example. How many layers of scientific expertise have to be understood to really claim that you understand how evolution works? Archeology, biology, history, geology, genetics…potentially more?

At some point there’s a trust factor involved in accepting evolution.

Now apply that same realization with climate change.

The more complex, the more moving parts, the easier it is to find a part to be skeptical about and people will do exactly that. Especially if they are given reason to believe that the science is just there to support a political objective.

In the end, unless science can be easily replicated and demonstrated (gravity, boiling water, killing bacteria, generating power, flywheels, etc) it will boil down to trust for the vast majority of people.
It's something I'm currently doing with my 14 year old.

the phone requires approval for app installs, so no social media. I have the phone unlock code and track browser history both at the phone and the router. He can and does use incognito mode, and the router mostly catches the porn URLs if any (thankfully not a lot - more gross out sites which we have chats about).

I track Youtube history as he uses my premium account to avoid ads + usually can see that stuff at the router.

Next step i've been meaning to do is setup a forwarding proxy so that even cell data use is tracked.

Generally if he does things I get concerned about, we have a conversation about what worries me, and how i want him to adjust his habits. this sometimes works, sometimes reverts back and requires a reminder.

all of this can blow up into full on blocking and acrimony eventually, I guess. i am working on his coping and judgement so that when he does branch out he has tools to handle what he runs into. I grew up in the late 80s "very online" with BBS's and internet in the early 90s... and got into a lot of dangerous things without my parents really knowing. I have a sense of how to protect against that but yes there are limits.

We are also recently fostering a 16 year old girl with terrible social media dependency and a history of self harm, and that is a much different set of strategies. taking the phone away there also doesn't IMO solve problems , it just creates new ones, especially given she is almost an adult. so this one is about cognitive behavior therapy, psychiatric therapy, building coping skills and executive functions, and building stable in person activities and relationships that are preferable to the online relationships. and trying to lower the social media usage to close friends + humour only rather than flirting with boys in remote countries.

Same experience for me with Colemak. My wife at one point got curious enough to try typing a few sentences on my machine (with me reading out which finger to move how to get the right letters) and even she had to admit it felt very relaxing compared to what she's used to. (But not enough that she's willing to relearn...)
Light bulbs are also nearly 100% efficient, minus whatever fraction of light seeps out through windows or similar. As is just about anything else electric. Unfortunately that heat is usually suboptimally distributed, and pales in comparison to the heat pump effective efficiency which as you mentioned can go well above 100%.
> All of the evidence says it doesn't work well.

Except actual accident statistics, you mean.

Now you've digressed into navigation choices and not safety. And... I agree! This is exactly what I was talking about upthread. It's an issue for real improvement, and notably not something that can be helped by LIDAR at all. Tesla is actually way ahead here, as I see it. Waymo and Cruise operate in heavily constrained environments that disallow challenging maneuvers entirely.

(FWIW: that three-lane turn behavior you're talking about doesn't seem familiar. I don't see that with my car, and we have a few intersecions like that around here. In general multi-lane turns are marked, and the car is quite good about figuring it out.)
Correct – but that’s exactly why you can’t just say “all strings are UTF-8, we’re done here”. Because Windows filenames can contain unpaired surrogates, which don’t have a sensible UTF-8 translation. (Unix has a similar problem with filenames being arbitrary bytes that may not be valid UTF-8.)

Note that Rust has OsString to handle both of these cases, but it’s somewhat hard to use.

Could not agree more, it was fun playing it.
What makes you believe that Earth cannot support one billion people, given another 1000 years or so of technological development at our current pace?

Assuming of course:
- We've "solved" fusion, and can produce near-unlimited amounts of electricity
- Per person energy/resource consumption is cut to an absolute minimum. Most tools, machines etc are designed to last virtually forever, instead of having planned obsolescence
- We build farming buildings that are 100 stories tall, and produce light from electricity instead of relying on sunlight to grow plants.
- Recycling processes and other activities that are labor intensive today can be made 1-3 orders of magnitude more efficient by AI and better access to cheap energy.
- We are able to handle the sociological aspects of such population density

Earth's population density is currently at 16/km^2, or 62500m^2/person. If we multiply the population by 100, that's still 625m^2/person.

We clearly have enough space, and probably enough atoms (of each type) to support one billion. So I think if we have enough energy, technology and organize it perfectly, it should be technically possible.

In fact, given the fact that each American already spends almost 100x more energy than most people did 500 years ago, it may be even easier than is assumed above, if we assume that resource consumption is cut to near subsistence levels.

Obviously, such a world would be quite dystopian, making the USSR seem positively cheerful. But impossible?

Minor nitpick

> monocular cameras can only provide relative depth

While the environment awareness is nowhere near as good as two or more cameras would be, if you consider the output over time, you get valuable information about the change rate of the environment, i.e. how fast that big thing is getting bigger, which may indicate one should actuate the brakes.

Of course, I'm with the crowd that answers the question with a "how many can we have?" question. The more, the merrier. And the more types, the better - give me polarized light and lidar, sonar, radar, thermal, and whatever else that can be plugged in the car's brain to make it better aware of what happens (and correctly guess what's going to happen) outside it.

Highly recommend.
That is not what the parent said and you put words in his mouth. Immigration is not the reason too few housing is build, but it is the reason demand outstrips the limited capacity to build more. The opposite is for example happening in Japan which has with a stagnant/declining population a relaxed housing market.
I was pointing out that "Bros" in a company name is exactly an abbreviation for "brother". It is, in effect, a different word than "bro" used in slang.
One example of where this would apply is for instance against criminals whose medium of information exchange has been compromised. Yes, they are 'victims', but they are also perps and probably in much worse crimes than the original hack of their comms.

An example of such a situation is the EncroChat hack.
by "general sort" your parent comment means "comparison sort", and the claim (which has been proved, see CLRS intro to algorithms) is that you cannot do it in better than O(n log n) comparisons.

I believe the parent was elaborating on their point here:

> it's impossible to do anything with it except moving it from one account to another without requiring trust of the other party.

Goods may need to be shipped, they could be counterfeit, etc. Bitcoin provides no facility for escrow or refunds - just moving tokens from one wallet to another. So you need to trust your counter party even more than you would with e.g. a credit card in order to transact.
