This just sounds like a slippery slope, if you watch one thing it'll lead to the next.

Does this happen? I've yet to see this phenomenal be validated in studies, but the closest I've read is that certain individuals have really good gates or have a very narrow taste and thus keeps themselves restricted.

But overall there's no conclusive evidence that makes a person with a "normal brain" become a pedophile, a furry, a fetishist or whatever because they watch porn.

Otherwise we would see more of this escalation in other issues like drug usage or watching, reading or listening to violent content.

But we don't, the issue also is that studies about porn is so often junk because of the bias against it (one case 40000 studies looked over less than 1% was usable)[1].

Now again I need to stress I am not making the claim addiction does not exist when it comes to porn, but instead it's the "you start with seeing an attractive face and you end up a becoming pedo" slippery slope with no conclusive evidence beyong trust me, bro.

And it doesn't either help that a lot of anti-porn are driven by religious or political ideology when there are genuine concerns that you could chalk up to being anti porn but not due to an agenda (like addiction, body image, dangerous kinks, etc).

There are many very different kinds of humor. I think HN generally allows some "insightful" or "never thought of it that way" jokes. Which is probably a narrow subset of humor in general and often requires quite a lot of knowledge about the subject matter.
They are only tiny little things. They let out a long piece of silk, something like a meter or two, and thats long enough with enough drag to lift them away.

> We are limited in what can do.

It's not wrong that we are limited in what we can do, but we are limited in the same sense a Turing machine is limited by the halting problem. We are limited in a very specific and precise sense.

> All our formal systems are flawed.

This threads dangerously close to the pop-culture take that math is flawed. I can accept this statement only if we take 'flawed' to mean 'incomplete' in the Godel sense. We don't say that integers are flawed because they aren't a field, that's how integers work. We should avoid needlessly loaded words.

> Have we now. To whom?

We don't prove things to someone. Proofs just are.

There's a sleight of hand at play here. A proof in the technical sense (let's call them Tproofs), as a series of deductions, is a mathematical object, not unlike the number five. A proof in the common sense (let's call them Cproofs) is an informal argument to convince other human beings that there exists a Tproof with certain characteristics. In this sense it's easy to see how Cproofs are social phenomena. They are basically ways to communicate with other human beings. Not unlike how banks create money when they issue loans, backed by nothing by the community's trust, a mathematician can write a Cproof standing for a Tproof, backed by the trust of his colleagues. Mathematics could not meaningfully function without this socially constructed web of trust, exactly like the economy could not function if our only mean of exchange were physical coins.

I have no problems in accepting that, in this sense, mathematics is a community effort and is strictly dependent on such community existing.

But there lies my argument. A proof-checker accepting a proof offers a very strong guarantee that an equivlent Tproof exists, stronger than any number of peer-reviewers could offer.

Therefore, to the extent that we deem epistemologically possible to mathematically prove a statement, a proof being accepted by a proof-checker is a mathematical proof.

The radical skeptic's argument that it's not, in fact, possible to mathematically prove statements in any meaningful sense is as always both perfectly irrefutable and perfectly uninteresting.

Mass surveillance is bad, but I think there are versions of it that are far less bad than others.

Apple's proposed solution would have theoretically only reported cases that were much more than likely to be already known instances of CSAM (i.e. not pictures of your kids), and if nothing else is reported, can we say that they were really surveilled? In some very strict sense, yes, but in terms of outcomes, no.
This isn't a legal court. There is no necessity in the context of this thread.
I'd very much like a source on your claim that "[...] criminals are using E2EE communication systems to share sexual abuse material in ways and at rates which they were not previously able to."

> Does the tech industry have any alternate solutions that could functionally mitigate this abuse? Does the industry feel that it has any responsibility at all to do so? Or do we all just shout "yay, individual freedom wins again!" and forget about the actual problem that this (misguided) initiative was originally aimed at?

The issue at large here is not the tech industry, but law enforcement agencies and the correctional system. Law enforcement has proven time and time again themselves that the most effective way to apprehend large criminal networks in this area is by undercover investigation.

So no, I don't think it is the tech industries role to play the extended arm of some ill conceived surveillance state. Because Apple is right: This is a slippery slope and anyone that doesn't think malicious political actors will use this as a foot in the door to argue for more invasive surveillance measures, using this exact pre-filtering technology are just naive idiots, in my oppinion.

What a cute idea. A lot of the bike lanes in my part of east London are covered by trees, which is wonderful for shelter from the sun or light rain, but in the autumn they become full of leaves which get rained on and turn into sludge.

All over London we have these mechanised sweepers of a similar type to the link below which are very narrow and can fit down most two-way cycle lanes, some one-way ones and also down narrow paths in parks.

Well, as he himself points out - while the account was in her name, it was the children (who are not criminals as far as I know) who were using it. His argument is very weak in comparing them - he even had a goal lines up with the recent NatWest/Farage stuff - but instead he picked on a woman who probably hasn't been in the public consciousness for several year.

Also why should institutions not be allowed to express values? By your logic if you believe a baker should not be allowed to bake a gay cake, then a bank should be able to debank customers.

If only there was a way to programmatically reproduce the conditions under which the problem appears and then exercise the behaviour that triggers the bug. Then some code could verify whether the problem still appears. Once the problem is fixed this same “test” dark magic could help ensure the problem does not occur again.

I'm on Mobile but there is a documentary that shows Japan "burns" it's garbage and uses it as an ocean landfill to acquire more land. At least in the videos I've seen they don't incinerate it hot enough to burn plastic and there was visible plastic (bags) in the fill.

Also we (USA) detonated a bunch of nukes in the ocean already and I really wonder if that has already done far more eco damage than their proposed contaminated water dump on the flip side of coin since as mentioned the half life is short and it's supposed to be low quantities per water volume to start with.
If you look at everything from "Monicagate" (not the Clinton one!) to the recent moderator strike over AI-generated answers, StackOverflow is not as apolitical as you suggest?

But to engage with your main point - I agree, and we can take Germany as an example here.

During the Nazi period, everything was put in service of politics, so in math class you'd answer questions like "calculate how many extra hard-working German families we could support if we the state didn't have to spend so-and-so-many Reichsmarks per Jew".

Since 1945, there's been a strong tradition to keep politics out of math and science education in Germany, and this seems to be mostly holding even in face of "social justice" pressure.

Keeping politics out of "is Phonics a good teaching method?" would also have been a great idea in the English-speaking world.

> This is a recurring meme in online discussion and I am honestly a bit aggravated by this.

It is because the FAO report "Livestock's long shadow" has stood the test of time, despite what is usually said in internet comment sections.

On an individual level, it is probably the most simple thing you can do. Not driving/flying or will make it impossible for you to participate in society. Not eating meat is simple in most western countries.
The extreme hysteria created by anything related to children often seems to be carte blanche to destroy privacy and implement backdoors in applications. Most child abuse comes from family members (which must be solved at the source), and the ultra extreme cases simply make awful law (doing away with E2EE or instituting mass surveillance to catch an incredibly small minority is absurd).

Much like other 'tough on crime' measures (of which destroying E2EE is one) the real problems need to be solved not at the point of consumption (drugs, guns, gangs, cartels) but at the root causes. Getting rid of E2EE just opens the avenue for the abuse of us by the government but in no way guarantees we'll meaningfully make children safer.

And no, we are not 'condoning' it when we declare E2EE an overall good thing. Real life is about tradeoffs not absolutes, and the tradeoff here is protection from the government for potentially billions vs. maybe arresting a few thousand more real criminals. This is a standard utilitarian tradeoff that 'condones' nothing.
You know what's really funny? The government of the United States has a complete list of everything you have listed. As a topikstarter, I want to tell you that you missed the point of the question asked.

Mythic Beasts are absolutely great, on that note. One of the truly old school hosts in the UK. They pay their employees a share bonus, they're technically excellent, and their services are reliable and well priced. I've been using them for years (since Bytemark got eaten by IOMart) and love them.
Pretty ridiculous idea. Bad actors simply won't use their platform if this was in place. It would only be scanning private data from all people who aren't comitting crimes.
Honestly would recommend a therapist. Brain fog isn’t always chemical or neurological decline. Cognition on a particular subject can fade for any number of reasons and most of the ways that are fixable involve learning to work with your own mind.

I lost some ability to code regularly a few years ago and found after a long while of looking that I had a dissociative disorder. Nowadays I can code better than I did before. Drugs were not the path that worked for me, but I consider them valuable for stabilization if needed so that work can be done.
If you buy wheels with DT Swiss or Hope wheels you can usually swap the end caps to fit different standards.

While lots of cycling routes here in Oslo are "prioritized" when it snows, and it works fairly well, some times snow from the road instead gets pushed into the bike lanes. If you report that, nothing happens. My idea is to have a snow plow on a bike and push it back into the road. Then someone might care..

I use Organic Maps for hiking specifically because it's not a "hiking app". There are way too many apps out there that expect you to just hike a trail that someone else has already hiked. Want to combine intersecting trails? You're out of luck. Want to use a trail you didn't explicitly pre-download without a data connection? You're out of luck

But with Organic Maps, I find it has all the trails (at least on two separate one and a half month hiking trips in Andorra), and since they're all included with the base data, you can mix and match trails and do whatever you want.

Pain points: The search isn't so great, there's a lack of names for trails and no real way to tell the "grade" of a trail. It could be a super easy walking path or some barely marked scramble.

But overall I love it and it's way better than the commercial hiking offerings (WikiLoc, AllTrails, etc)
Self-reliance as a hobby, it may not be recognised as such but I consider it to be mine. It more or less grew out of my desire to come as close as I could to my interpretation of the concept of 'homo universalis' [1]. This really just comes down to ditching the idea that 'I can not do this' or 'I will never learn this' and doing the thing instead - badly first but usually better later on. Most of this does not square with the drive for hyper-specialisation but... I don't care. This is my life of which I only have one so I'll just keep on exploring.

Build a house, fix a car, pick up an instrument, make a mural, raise children, read books and start writing, paddle a river from source to sea, climb a mountain, build a synthesizer from scratch, start a band, never stop... Don't be discouraged by naysayers, just try until you succeed or decide to move on.

I had Samsung phone with exynos, that thing barely lasts one day on battery. My low-end MotoG can take three days...

In EU Samsung has really bad reputation for putting exynos into high-end Galaxy phones in Europe. There is no way to check before buying, and your phone may last 30% less on battery. It was pretty well documented!

Main reason I will never buy Samsung phone again!

Widevine (google property) is just a technology and does not include the concept of Fair Use. This is where DRM really means Digital Restriction Management, not Digital Rights Management. The aim of Widevine (or Microsoft PlayReady, Apple Fairplay) is to "fail closed": nothing works unless it works in exactly the way it's intended to work. And the intention is to limit what a user can do to the bare minimum, in the DRM model the user is essentially the enemy.

DRM aims to accomplish this by all means. Hardware, anti-tampering software, law (DMCA), hoarding telemetry and private data (Widevine DRM probably serves as a super-cookie for google).

PHP has as much client-side rendering as React SSR does.

I think the sleight of hand that is happening right now, and that gets people a little confused, is that React is shaping up to be this thing that handles both front and the backend where other solutions can't do that. Sure – but it does that by overloading and complicating what React once was (neither of which per-se negative, I think it's just an apt description of what is going on)

Where other solutions might have abstracted the frontend part into a thing with a different name (or not bother doing it at all) React chooses in a rather unprecedented move to call it all just... React (well, there's Remix and such, but alas). Which is fine, as long as you understand that this new "React" will now probably lead to "React Frontend Dev" and "React Backend Dev", because the work and the complexities that these rolls entail did not just disappear by rolling it into the same name.

It's not entirely clear if architecturally there are going to be more benefits than footguns, but I think it's cool that they are trying.
Let's take a step back here and bring in some facts.

"Apple" wasn't scanning your phone, neither was there a "backdoor".

If you would've had iCloud upload enabled (you'd be uploading all your photos to Apple's server, a place where they could scan ALL of your media anyway), the phone would've downloaded a set of hashes of KNOWN and HUMAN VERIFIED photos and videos of sexual abuse material. [1]

After THREE matches of known and checked CSAM, a check done 100% on-device with zero data moving anywhere, a "reduced-quality copy" would've been sent to a human for verification. If it was someone sending you hashbombs of intentional false matches or an innocuous pic that matched because some mathematical anomaly, the actual human would notice this instantly and no action would've been taken.

...but I still think I was the only HNer who actually read Apple's spec and just didn't go with Twitter hot-takes, so I'm fighting windmills over here.

Yes, there is always the risk that an authoritarian government could force Apple to insert checks for stuff other than CSAM to the downloaded database. But the exact same risk exists when you upload stuff to the cloud anyway and on an even bigger scale. (see point above about local checks not being enabled unless iCloud sync is enabled)

[1] It wasn't an SHA-1 hash where changing a single bit in the source would make the hash invalid, the people doing that were actually competent.
