But this isn't like ID cards.

The general population doesn't care about whether an image was cryptographically signed. It's going to have zero effect.

People who don't care about the truth are going to continue to pass around edited images, while those who do get their news from trusted journalists and aren't paying attention to random images on social networks.
This is very out-of-date. Easily adding validation has been a key benefit of the Django admin for more than a decade at this point.

(You still have to do the work, but if people are breaking things through the admin that's your fault.)

> But who'd have had the audacity to make such claims back then?

Except for, I think, the specifics of the high level insider, each of those claims was widely made in the major media and/or in the same UNSC meeting in which Powell presented the fake evidence before the war (in the latter case, by UN weapon inspectors), in both cases with fairly extensive receipts; the mobile labs were, for instance, debunked with details including the UK origin, the date of sale, and, IIRC, copies of official UK government documents concerning them in a major article in the Guardian before the war.

There was also detailed reporting on how the UK government knew the US evidence in general false and that the evidence was deliberately being manufactured and a policy narrative.

There were also articles in the major US press, with extensive details, about the lack of support within the US intelligence community for the officiak narrative and the details of how and organizationally by whom within the government the “intelligence” as propaganda operation was being run.

In the wave of bloodthirst and Islamophobia post-9/11, which had barely subsided at all by 2003, no one (effectively, for all the political difference it made) in the US (and not enough people in the UK) cared about the facts, but the official narrative was debunked widely, in near real-time, in the major media.

Of course. The conversations point out that one frequent problem is the hiring process managed, interviewed and finally filled by different persons.

Place of residence is a different issue. Many people connect behind a VPN. A video feed during the interview would at least hint at the time zone they are in.

Third different issue is right to work in the US. This is an issue you have even in person in the US. Solved with legal documents. Social Security card, green card, US passport... then tax ID, then ongoing tax filings by the employer - Which may be a little easy to forge when presented in pictures but seem to still be sufficient legally. (And here camera helps with "person doesn't match ID".)

Anyway. You are right! Camera solves only part of the problem.

That’s something I worry about. It happened to a family friend. She was 9, and the fella was 16. Legally nothing can be done.

I hope to counter this not by avoiding the internet, but by being close with Kess. If she has someone in her life, I hope she’ll feel comfortable enough to talk to me.

And yeah, I sensed that it would be a matter of time till someone hints that it’s abusive to give kids unrestricted internet access. If I change my mind, I’ll at least document why. But total freedom was a massive part of why I turned out the way I did. I’m not sure my love of math and science would have survived in isolated rural America otherwise.

People do murder each other's children from time to time. This does happen.

If you want to murder someone's children, and those children are known for taking all the candy in a "take 1" honor-system bowl, then poisoning candy might be a means to your end.

I expect the odds of being poisoned on Halloween are less than 1/1000 the odds of being run over by a car.

Watch for cars and maybe hang glow sticks on your kids, or give the a flashlight, or use reflective tape or something.
The interesting thing is that most phones aren't reported as stolen (i.e. the device's lost/stolen mode is never activated through the device's cloud service binding), because most people don't realize that that's a thing they can do.

The difference in ratios between the Android and iOS ecosystems, of phones stolen-and-resold-locally and therefore "recoverable", to phones stolen-and-then-"trafficked" and so unrecoverable, comes down to a deterrent effect from how completely iOS's lost mode stops part reuse. By having the 20%-or-so of phones that are marked as lost/stolen, become effectively entirely dead weight with no reusable parts, the margin for the whole logistics pipeline (steal, ship, take apart) for this type of phone drops negative.

I once had a manager at my dad's company steal my code for my opus Star Trek game. He left tracks so I followed those tracks into his account and made the game absolutely no fun to play by making it impossibly hard (1979).

He then had the nerve to complain to my dad that the game was too hard.
Firefox is pretty good these days, but I'm not sure about all of this feature creep. Seems like much of this could just live as extensions.

Samsung and the other manufacturers shot themselves in the foot so hard on this one. When this news trickles down to the average Mexican (ie someone not in the tech industry), the message they will get won't be "don't buy grey market phones, buy official phones", it will be "don't by Samsung, ZTE, etc, they will lock your phone".
Or it means they have more money than they know what to do with so they're throwing it at any de-risking they can find
To be fair to those people, I did have plenty of grim thoughts pop up in my head. Dealing with some of them wasn't easy. But IMO it's better to be away what is going on deep inside yourself rather than let it brew till it explodes in very nasty ways. But I do see how unprepared people may be afraid. Especially if they do have vague idea of what is going on inside them.

It seems a lot like photoplethysmograph (PPG), in that you get a time domain signal of something related to instantaneous capillary blood pressure, and you process that signal to derive heart rate, and sometimes HRV and other things. The APG transducer is a microphone rather than a PPG LED+photodiode optical pickup.

I don't know how far you could take it though. Irregular heartbeat in a resting patient, possibly. Clogged artery not in the measurement path in an active patient - probably not. The further from the heart the less and less it looks like an ABP blood pressure wave. I bet activities like jumping up and down would show some amount of interference from blood sloshing around in APG just like in PPG.

If you want to look at some data, https://physionet.org/ has some recordings of PPG and ABP and you can see how they differ. (Edit) like this one: https://physionet.org/content/mimic3wdb-matched/1.0/

Funny timing.

In the wee hours of this morning, I was trying to figure out why my attempts to build LLVM 17.0.3 from source were failing because it couldn't find an HSA-related symbol.

My impression was that the build-system's support for using HSA was a little wonky, but I'm not sure if that's fair. IIRC I worked around the issue by not trying to build LLVM's openmp code.
It's probably a combination of things.

The Django Admin existed before Django publicly existed. That meant that once anyone started using Django they knew that they should constrain their use of Django in certain ways so that the Django Admin would work with their usage. Features that would be added to Django would be built with the Django Admin in mind.

Many tools like Flask or FastAPI don't have an opinionated model layer like Django. Without that, you can't really create an admin interface programatically. People could be storing their data in any sort of fashion anywhere. How would one build an admin system for something like Flask or FastAPI where there's no convention around how people set up data access? A lot of frameworks out there don't tell you "access your data in this way" or "this is how users will be authenticated." Without those two things, it's hard to really create an admin system.

There are similar systems available for some frameworks, but since they aren't part of the core framework, they don't get the same attention. Someone creates it, but it doesn't have the kind of community buy-in that sustains it. One of the odd things about Django is that the admin system is under `django.contrib` which indicated that they didn't intend for it to be in the core of Django forever, but that's not really how `django.contrib` ended up. It continued to be a core part of Django maintained as part of the framework.

Like I said, there are admin dashboards available in other frameworks like RailsAdmin (https://github.com/railsadminteam/rails_admin) or Core Admin for .NET (https://github.com/edandersen/core-admin) and I'm sure there's more. However, both Rails and .NET provide most of what Django provides (and a lot more than most frameworks). Rails and .NET both have a default data access ORM that a majority of people using those frameworks tend to use. .NET has built-in authentication/authorization so the admin can work off that. Rails doesn't have auth, but RailsAdmin uses some plugins.

There's even Flask-Admin: https://flask-admin.readthedocs.io/en/latest/. However, if you start reading through the docs you start seeing that you have to solve more than just dropping it in. How do you do auth and permissions? Have you used SQLAlchemy, MongoEngine, PeeWee, or PyMango to access your data? No? Well, you might need to write a way for it to actually figure out your data. Because Flask apps aren't generally written with Flask-Admin in mind and because Flask doesn't offer a default path for things like models and auth, it becomes a harder and more varied task to create a generic admin system.

It became customary because parking spaces are so hard to find in Seoul. You often need to block someone else's car. When the other car needs to move, they'll call the number on your windscreen. It's usually on the driver's side near the VIN sticker. Most people answer immediately. They know they should expect calls if they parked where they might block somebody's movement.

Collecting these numbers is not scalable, though, so it's rarely used for spamming. If you're worried about strangers getting hold of all the personal information and social network profiles tied to your phone number, you can get an anonymized 050 number that forwards to your real number.

Right. That's an invasive procedure though. I was thinking along the lines of "gold standard of ambulatory blood pressure monitoring".
*As an entrepreneur, how authentic can you be?*

Distinguishing between what’s authentic and what’s fabricated, has become increasingly challenging.

AI has only worsened it...

I'm convinced that genuine authenticity finds its truest expression in closed communities like WIP from Marc, Small Bets from Daniel, or SaaS Makers from Valerian and Julien; and many others that each one of us is part of.

A great example is what Peter Levels shares on X and what he shares on WIP. I can learn much more from what he shares in this closed community!

However, personal branding is limited in those communities. We need more broader reach in general networks like X to increase our distribution. But there the focus is not on yourself, but on what others will like from you, so it will always be a different flavor of yourself.

I still believe we can be the most authentic possible without entering into the algorithm game to increase our reach.

I gave some more examples and details in my blog post.

The customer is not always right. Parents can be savages (speaking as a parent who has had to interact with some of these folks) and administration can have no spine or will. Also why there is a teacher shortage in the US. Shit job for shit wages.

The desired outcome is student education and actualization, not necessarily parental happiness. Some parents feel otherwise. Lots of Karens of all genders out there.

thadt’s comment is spot on (chef kiss): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38050798 Lots of other great comments in thread about what teachers face from parents.
> It’s only the perception of risk that changed.

The more people travel by car, the worse the experience is for everybody else.

For example, as more people drive their kids to school, fewer people become comfortable letting their own kids walk because the traffic around the school is so much worse. The actual danger, not just the perception of it, has increased. And besides the increased danger, there is also noise, peer pressure, etc.

Without better policies the situation will not improve.

If you have a clip of someone saying something in a news story from 2003, on the website of a news organization, with a publication date in 2003, to claim it's a deepfake would require you to claim the news organization forged the publication date. Every news organization that contemporaneously published the same video.

But if we don't have reliable means to identify deepfakes (the high quality ones, not just the bad ones), well, sometimes the video in question wasn't widely published in a year before deepfakes were a thing. So what now? If you can't tell the difference in a large number of cases then your choices are admitting the forgeries into evidence or excluding the legitimate videos.

I resonate with the article for several reasons:

- I lived in rural Romania through the 80s when Ceaușescu decided to basically return to war time rationalization of food.

- My father was an agricultural engineer on a state farm, a specialty almost forgotten today yet of utmost importance in the 50s-60s when he graduated university and got the job.

People today scorn at the idea of state farms but my father comes from a family of rather wealthy peasants from before collectivization and always told me that productivity was shit before modern cultivation methods, mechanization, chemical fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides were used. He died this year at 82 years of age of Parkinson's disease, almost surely caught due to his involvement with agricultural herbicides. His 90 years old brother that worked as a physics teacher is alive and kicking. Takes the bus from the village everyday to the city to have a coffee with his friends.

Anyhow, I digress. Let's get back to the original article.

>> Much of the protein, insufficient as it was, came not from cheese and meat but from what we now call dhal. It had names (to give some English examples) like pease pottage, pease pudding, mushy peas and pea soup

The Romanian countryside was far better off in the rationalization period than the cities. I've visited my city-living aunt a few times and noticed the terrible queues to procure basically anything: bread, butter, meat. I don't recall much of my meals as a 10 years old (I was 12 when Ceaușescu was shot and shortages ended) and with my parents might have been a bit atypical. As my father being chief engineer of the state farm we never lacked anything, of course :)

But when living with my grandparents, I think my diet was a lot more what regular people ate. There was no lack of protein but it wasn't the obscene frenzy I see in American movies (probably fake?): all beef chops meat and basically no bread or carbs or vegetables at all.

I ate a serious amount of carbs from wheat bread and corn bread, lots of milk and derivatives, eggs, vegetables in salads and soups. Btw, a salad here is a mixture of vegetables that you eat with your main dish. It's never the main dish, another habit of well fed people. Chicken was a rare treat, my grandma would sacrifice growing chickens but almost never a fully grown hen that would lay eggs. And how much can you split a chicken between 2 adults and 2 kids (my and my cousin)? It was always stew, I never ever saw fried chicken EVER during those times. Almost all meat came from pork. Occasionally beef but the penalty for having beef in communist Romania was straight prison. Peasants were supposed to hand over the calves to the state, but sometimes they were born "dead" (i.e. kept in the stables and fed a bit until slaughtered). Btw, it's those times when I developed a less than today's modern sensible view towards animals as opposed to humans. First time slaughtering a calf or bagging a litter of puppies into a sack before drowning them is the hardest. You get used to it and learn this is life if we're about to live.

Darn, I digress again. Must be the 3rd glass of wine :P

It’s a phase. Eventually I stopped wanting to see the videos. I try to be vocal about this (hopefully not in an unsubstantive way) because so few people are willing to say that they saw shock videos, so thank you for voicing that. It otherwise gives the impression that hideous things are harmful, which gives ammunition to authority figures who use the age-old "think of the children" argument. Remember, we narrowly dodged Apple putting sniffers in our phones on the same grounds.
By your argument, writing summaries of books, "explain <book> in 3 minutes" youtube videos, and commentaries on books should be made illegal too.

Or more precisely, they should be made illegal if and only if they achieve "scale" of maybe at least a couple million viewers.

The fundamental premise of copyright is flawed. Taking medieval concepts involving censorship of the printing press and extending them to the 21st century is bound to produce awkward results. I'm not hopeful that copyrights will be reconsidered from the ground up during this AI shock, but at least we shouldn't pretend that any arguments about copyrights should be reasonable and make sense. I honestly believe a "realpolitik" approach is more helpful, at least we know that those with more political influence and spend more effort lobbying will probably "win" in the end...
