- What if the AI is supplied by a vendor but runs on a computer system controlled by the user or by a third party? This could happen if the user doesn’t want, or isn’t allowed, to disclose the inputs or their derivatives.

- Assuming there’s a need to mandate cryptographic digital signatures at all, why require certificates and PKI? Wouldn’t it suffice for the signer to announce a public key and, if necessary, its revocation?

- Cryptographic signatures are still overwhelmingly the exception, not the rule, in legal evidence. Courts routinely admit ordinary paper and electronic business records, authenticated, when necessary, by their creators or custodians. (See, for example, Rules 901 and 902 in the Federal Rules of Evidence.) Digital signatures might not make this easier; consider the potential for conflicting expert testimony about signing and key management schemes and their weaknesses.

More generally:

As a professional engineer who uses my own and others’ software, I don’t think an AI model is fundamentally different from a spreadsheet, a card deck with a FORTRAN program, or a table or formula in a printed handbook. If I’m relying on something for my work, it’s my professional responsibility to assess its validity, suitability for purpose, and limitations; to know how to use it properly; and to interpret and evaluate its output.

The standard of care with which I do those things, the nature and extent of any documentation I might produce, and the arrangements for the retention, protection, and future authentication of those materials in case of a dispute, will vary with the circumstances, including the potential for harm to the client or to the public and my own organization’s appetite for risk.

Perhaps your context is different, but I hesitate to endorse a highly prescriptive approach. Engineering regulators use very broad language; for example, Florida’s rule says only, “The engineer shall be responsible for the results generated by any computer software and hardware that he or she uses in providing engineering services” [1], and Professional Engineers Ontario has guidelines [2] but not specific standards.

That would put the blame on the US because the US would have to have done something to provoke Mexico to want to join such an alliance.

As it stands, Mexico doesn't even bother with significant defense spending because they know that the US isn't all that interested in invading and no one else is going to try to invade a country which shares a land border with the US.

On the other hand, the various Russian neighbors who have joined or have expressed interest in joining NATO have done the same calculus and determined that Russia is cannot be relied on to not threaten their borders.
The issue here is not having an off-the-records conversation, it's saying that they want one because they're about to talk about something that would embarass legal.

The lack of emphasis on video.

The iPhone is a portable movie studio that occasionally can send messages or make phone calls (poorly).

If social media was still largely text based, BB would be a more efficient device. Unfortunately, it has morphed into a shallow, rich media platform. What gets attention: TikTok dreck, Britney Spears and her wild Instagram videos, not elegant prose. We as a society can't look away from the trainwreck.
In many cases you don't even need to block DoH. Many implementations (Chrome/Edge/I believe Windows itself) will try to use the ISPs DoH servers by default if available, and switch to an alternative if the user chooses to do so.

Because very few websites bother to implement things like DNSSEC (and even fewer clients bother to validate it), the ISP DNS server can then fake all the ECH data it wants,

You have to ask yourself why are we obsessed with free speech but you never hear anyone preaching free act? Why the arbitrary restriction to speech/expression? Ah, acts can cause harm to others; people can't just be allowed to do whatever they want, though they should be allowed to say whatever they want, because you can't harm other people by what you say, according to ... the "sticks and stones" principle.

The entire idea of free speech really rests on something as shaky as the sticks and stones principle!

I don’t see that distinction as arbitrary at all. It seems like, among no other good or obvious options, exactly the place to put the line between free speech and restricted action.

There is much “bad” free speech, but “bad” action is intolerable. The distinction between the results of bad speech and bad action are clear - even if it is unfortunately true that speech can inspire action.
The EU framework research programs have strongly favoured FOSS contributions. It's certainly not the most straightforward application process though and competition for the grants outside niche domains is cutthroat.
How to convert an enum to string in C++
Personally I think they’re correct…for typing. For any other use case, I would much, much rather have the extra screen space that a keyboard would require to be removed. Regardless, if I need to do a lot of typing, I’d rather use a computer.
I use a silicone spatula to clear most of whats in there into a compost bin. I drink a lot of coffee so it's still a _little_ cumbersome but it definitely helps the process a lot.
Whether or not it is better depends entirely on what the end images look like and how important the pictures are. If it’s meant to act as a camera to snap and share the fun you are having, then it might be a real turn off if it is noticeably worse than your smartphone, which does have hardware stabilization. If customers stop using the camera on the device and reach for their phone to get the best possible picture, then the glasses lose 1/3 of their major features in the eyes of the customers, and it makes it harder to justify the price.

I’m not convinced software correction is enough, but maybe it is fine. It just depends on what is possible, what matters, and how much people are willing to pay for it.
The solution isn't correct; it takes more distance to go around one loop of a spiral (at an angle to an implied cylinder) than it does to go around a cylinder in a circle perpendicular to the axis.
Unfortunately, this sort of glibness misses the fact that Meta’s algorithms push topic engagement and in doing so, amplify high-emotion content.

RIM viewed the BB as a business tool. Apple viewed the iPhone as a consumer device and promoted it heavily that way. In short order, Apple had shipped more devices than RIM.

Would've really liked to see monoio and glommio in here (thread-per-core with io-uring).

I've heard people say io-uring offers improvements in IO-based workloads, but I haven't seen what that truly means in the context of Rust async frameworks. And Tokio's integration with io-uring is not ideal (it would require re-architecting from scratch).
I also miss my old Blackberry's keyboard. A lot. It's far and away my biggest gripe with what smartphones have become.

And I had this gripe the first day I switched to an Android (and later to an iPhone). But I knew there was no going back. Everything else that was improved about the iPhone made up for that one huge drawback.

People didn't rush to replace their Blackberries because "society is decaying". Or because of social media. They did so because the phone was tremendously more useful day-to-day. It was the first phone to have the real internet on it. Not some WAP bullshit, or stripped down mobile versions of sites, but real sites. And you could take and tweak photos on it much better than whatever was out there at the time. The built-in storage was huge. You could ditch your iPod and just use the phone. It was much faster, had a huge (at the time) screen, etc. It had multi-touch! Sounds like a quant feature now, but nothing else had that at the time. (Or, had some glitchy half-baked version of it that was more frustration than magic). It was, objectively speaking, a more capable device than the BBs. Except for typing.

Then they just kept iterating on that design, quadrupling the resolution, the storage, the network speeds went 100x, and so on. Improvements coming every year that would effectively strand Blackberry in the past.

Now in 2023? Literally the only thing I still miss is a physical keyboard. But I'm not so sure I'd actually choose a device with one, and give up the form factor that enables so much other stuff. I just don't write emails on the damn thing.

Had Blackberry been able to stick around, they'd also have VC-backed social media tools and fart sound apps. Those weren't the differentiator between the two. I had the Facebook app on my Blackberry back in the day. So long as mobile data speeds increased, whatever form factor existed would get video support and all the other stuff you bemoan.

The improvements in mobile networks enabled all of that, not the device form factor.

I distinctly recall my disappointment when I heard it was Qualcomm that acquired Nuvia because I knew they'd find a way to f*ck it up. This is unfortunately incredibly on brand for Qualcomm. They do the same bundling with the 5G Radios and Snapdragon SoC's. They're more of a patent law firm than a tech company.
So, a trojan device that makes the user give it basically full control over their phone, allowing a third party to do whatever the hell they want with the user's data and accounts - and what does it actually do? Show targeted ads.

Truly the dumbest timeline.
Agreed. If you want to prove to yourself that this vulnerability is real, consider that you can replicate the hypothesized malicious device you describe by taking a WiFi Duck https://wifiduck.com/ and combining it with a regular lightning-to-HDMI adapter by plugging the WiFi Duck into the extra lightning port on the HDMI adapter. All that would be needed to use this attack on an unsuspecting victim would be to combine the WiFi Duck and the HDMI adapter functionality into a small enough circuit board to fit into the Apple-style white enclosure.
No. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/hackers-incre...

The problem is that what starts as a strong desire to conduct copyright infringement (or sure, some light personal web browsing on work computers) along with a dash of free speech extremism, has turned into a militant expectation of very handy passageways for actual crimes.
> among no other good or obvious options

It seems to me that there's an obvious alternative option. After all, if the reason we find the idea of free speech intuitively appealing is because we subscribe to some version of "speech can do no harm", why not just base everything upon the more fundamental harm principle ("one is free to V as long as V-ing causes no harm to others") which covers both the cases of speech and of act?
I'd also say that it isn't easy to pivot to respond to the iPhone. Apple spent a long time developing iOS and the iPhone. Early Android phones were really far behind. If Apple hadn't been an AT&T exclusive in the US and had adapted to the way people bought phones independent of carriers in most of the world, Android wouldn't have had a chance. Even in 2010, three years after the iPhone launched, Android was still mediocre.

With most products, there's a general consensus about the way the market is going well before one company launches. They might launch first, but everyone is building in that direction. The iPhone really caught everyone off guard - even after Apple demonstrated it. Competitors said it would never sell without a physical keyboard. That wasn't just them covering their asses. They kept putting out devices with physical keyboards for years thinking that was the direction of the market.

It wasn't just the day of the iPhone announcement. The Motorola Droid launched in November 2009 (2 years and 11 months after the iPhone was introduced, 2 years and 5 months after the iPhone went on sale). Apple had been selling its third-generation iPhone which was taking over the world and Motorola launched its keyboard-based Droid 5 months after.

Apple had created something different enough that it required real work to catch up with - and real effort to even believe that was the direction to go. Literally, companies couldn't believe that Apple had found the right formula for the market.
I don't disagree, but still it's weird to me. I don't think I've ever sent anyone a video on my phone, I've hardly even recorded any. And I'm usually annoyed when I receive one. And I don't use social media at all. I suppose I'm the weird one.
I would say corporate inertia but also a mix of corporate immaturity and single minded incentives.

Meta’s corporate culture is single mindedly focused on engagement. They don’t care about side effects or other ambitions. They don’t have a corporate structure that encourages anything else that may be beneficial to their consumer base.

It means that anything that detracts from that engagement is counter to any personal goals an employee might have. And if you can’t personally relate to the problem, you’re far less likely to put your career on the line to push for something that runs contrary to the singular goal of engagement.
I'm sure glad I don't work with developers like that, because that complaint makes perfectly reasonable sense to me and I certainly wouldn't consider it "toxic". Expecting a raw disk image file to be the exact size of the virtual device is not at all an "esoteric use case".

Being a prolific contributor doesn't mean you get to force your mistakes on others and cry about it when your decisions come back to bite you. See what Big Tech is doing to us for a great example of what this "feelings-driven design" crap has given us.

I was bored so I made a super simple implementation of this: https://codepen.io/Nezteb/pen/MWZBapL
It's hard to imagine a more text heavy social media site than HN, but even here I'd rather have a touchscreen. I don't spend the majority of my time typing, I spend it reading with the occasional comment here and there. An adequate writing experience in exchange for a better reading experience is exactly the right tradeoff to make for almost every use case.
Does the lack of people using peripheral glass touchscreen keyboards on their PCs / laptops instead of physical keyboards count as evidence?
I think they mean malware. Ransomware for example. Nothing wrong about locking a network down in general. Work network doesn’t have to be an open, all things go, network just so employees can instagram. Heck, there are organizations with air-gaped networks for very good reasons.

Instagram on your phone while at work. Don’t expect privacy on managed work machines. You company can see your emails. They can install CA on your managed machine and MITM your https traffic.

I hate the trend of also managing personal devices. But I get that it’s a complicated subject.

Free speech lets us as a society determine which acts should be restricted.

My objection to speech restrictionists is that they rarely give a robust mechanism for deciding which speech should be restricted, a mechanism that's hardened against people abusing it to further their narrow self-interest.

Speech restrictionists also tend to ignore the "circular dependency problem": without anyone to defend a position, how do we know if that position is defensible? For example, suppose you live in a theocracy. You're an atheist. You start making your case for atheism. Just as you're about to make your case, the theocrats interrupt: "This speech is killing people. It's preventing them from reaching the blissful afterlife by converting them to atheism. This person is attempting eternal murder." And then throw you in jail.

I'm in favor of a well-designed terms and conditions for a platform like Facebook. But I also think it's too easy for people to say: "I don't like what you said! You shouldn't be allowed to say it!" The de facto impact of that rhetoric essentially amounts to mob rule.
It is that. IIRC C and C++ are already compliant and they are used in certain industries because of that. The end goal would be to have rust there as well.

By any meaningful measure they're identical content consumption devices. I know we want there to be an out group so badly that we'll make one around green text or blue text or whatever. But there's no real reason to care much anymore about phone upgrades or brand loyalty other than general volunteered consumerism.
I think the short slope is for QOL. Satisfactory has much gentle slope, and player end up build giant spiral structure to go up to where the game say it is way too high.
I miss that Blackberry keyboard too -- I used to write long emails on that thing.

But I'm told by folks younger than me that no one reads emails these days. It's all text or messaging, meaning much shorter messages, meaning an on-screen keyboard is more than up to the task.

But it's not. I had high hopes for the Transformer model autocorrect in iOS 17 but a few days in I'm still backspacing a lot.

The world has moved on though. I love my iPhone and wouldn't go back to a phone with a physical keyboard given a choice. I can only look back with nostalgia at what once was, perhaps never to be again.

With your Chinese experiment it would only be accurate if it were double blind, i.e. the speaker themself did not know the meaning of the words. There is a lot more communication going on with speech than just the words themselves.

Regarding word generation, I grew up in poor urban areas where slang was a huge part of language, and new words were invented and spread almost daily. The sound of a word definitely played a part, but it was mostly about context - when it was used, the tone of the speech, the pitch, what older words it might have been derived from, etc. Like math operations and concepts, there might have only needed to be a few words at the start to build a foundation, a seed from which language growth evolved.
"Can't innovate anymore ? My ass" was the quote that came to my mind reading your take. That was a shout of the heart and we know how it went.

Is Apple immune to getting stale and blinded by their own success ?
Sure. But more people is good. More traffic is bad.
Yep and they cost less than half and weigh about half of what this weighs.
