And to keep your coal/cement/refinery/whatever plant operating as long as you can until you get a huge cheque to stop.

I have not taken the time to fully read your GitHub, but here is my view.

You making this is inherently different than Microsoft including this by default in all future versions of Windows. If someone downloads your tool they are making the conscious choice to give up some data protection for and admittedly cool feature. It is also a more limited number of people with data stored in a particular way.

Every Windows 11 having it, is painting a target on everyone's back since it would be somewhat easy to assume, if Windows 11 this is probably enabled. It is also not properly educating people on the risks.

Personally I don't have a problem with the tool, or necessarily how it is designed (it could be better, don't get me wrong). But it has to be opt in, properly educate on the risks, and probably shouldn't be built into the OS.
After years of watching spyware make a ton of money on their platform, Microsoft took a page out of Apple's book and created their own spyware for Windows.
I don't know what it is with low sugar sodas of the Keurig Dr Pepper company lineage but 7up zero is also extremely good for a zero sugar variant, Diet Sunkist kicks the hell out of even regular Fanta, and A&W Zero Sugar is probably the better of the popular root beer options as well.

Now if only there were a better Mountain Dew alternative :).
If an intruder gets into my local account, I'm far more worried about them stealing my cookies or accessing company IP than my browser history.

With cookies and browser access, they could get into my emails, family photos, bank accounts, and even read desktop notifications from my phone's SMSs.

For developers, the real risk lies in the variety of dependencies our apps have, which could get compromised.

So, this isn't really news. There are also tools to access all your iMessage history from a Mac, for example.

I believe the feature is really useful, and for sure you can turn it off.
Weren't were told it was encrypted and that this sort of access wouldn't be possible?
Security aside, I'm genuinely unsure what problem Recall is even meant to solve.

Like most AI products and features announced over the past 18 months, it feels like a bunch of product people got into a meeting where they looked at the capabilities of the latest OpenAI model and then started spitballing feature ideas based not on user needs but on what GPTs can do. "Oh, these models can do OCR... why don't we screenshot everything that a user has ever done, OCR it, and make it searchable!"

I'm genuinely interested to know if there are use cases that people see for this beyond the obvious retroactive infostealing on a grand scale. What would you do with this feature if you had it?
I understand the desire to minimize dependencies and the impact of third-party code. In practice, I’m lazy. I don’t want to build my own integration if someone has already done it.

I also don’t always know how complex my integration will be, and would rather not go back and replace custom code with the SDK, so I start with the SDK.
If the device is lost or stolen during transport physically, all it takes is the attacker to gain control of the key, or find a weakness in that firmware or encryption method. While those are stupidly improbable, the reality is once you lose physical custody, the attacker has a lot more options.
I agree that AI/ML is overhyped right now. There are however some practical applications for machine learning, even for web browsers. The most obvious one to me is translating content in foreign languages. Another would be tools that make poorly designed websites more accessible for the visually impaired.
Neat tool, kudos, but is it "pwning"? I don't think so. It's more like another viewer for the same data. You need to have the right permissions to access the SQLite and JPEG files anyway.
Fun game, although it would be helpful to have the "How to Play" instructions ( https://huewords.snellman.net/help.html ) explicitly state that shorter letter sequences (2,3,4 letters) do not need to form words. That's an expectation built up from many other crossword games, so it would be good to nullify it through a clear statement that the usual crossword rules do not apply here.
Note that this is not the same worldwide - for example, in the UK mortgages are typically not fixed rate for a long time, and so interest rates are a much more useful tool for the Bank of England to cause economic pain.

If you have a router running PfSense Plus* and at least 3 ports, Netgate actually has pretty detailed instructions for how to do the bypass with their layer 2 routing feature. It sounds a bit complicated, but I followed along exactly as it says and it just worked for me. Has been 100% reliable for almost 2 years, and I get significantly better speed (something like 10-20% vs the built in "passthrough" mode on the gateway, iirc). Plus I managed to cut the suspicious DNS server the gateway tries to interject out of my network.

There's another method that doesn't require Plus called pfatt, but I'm not sure what the state of it is.

* Plus is the paid version, yeah I know I agree I don't like what they did with the licensing changes but that's a different story

So I work in tech but am pretty well-connected to the trades within my family and friends group. The major shortage in every trade is in helpers and laborers. It’s not the case that they need people with journeyman-level technical skills, are willing to offer lucrative TC, and simply can’t hire for the skill set.

They can’t find unskilled/semiskilled labor willing show up to a job site every day for $25/hr cash. Even 10 years ago this wasn’t a problem. The issue is that nobody wants to offer market-clearing wages and benefits because it cuts into the owners’ distribution.
Actually it seems to be really the case that multimodal distribution are rather the result of batches not having a mean. So it is rather the effect of systematic error [1]. I guess it is really a myth (we did low cost RF designs back in 2005 and had some real issues with frequencies not aligning die to component spread and I really remember that bi modality problem, but I guess okhams razor should have told me that it makes no economical sense)

I think the thing that gets me about this example is everyone comes into it with perfect hindsight, and then projects their own biases about lack of effort and care. If it was so obvious, then the woman should have been able to diagnose herself, or any of her family and acquaintances. It's not that clinicians didn't try to help, as some people claim. They gave her CT scans and psychiatric assessments try to figure it out, some of which she refused. It is easy to say that the doctor simply should have trusted her statements, and use them as a basis for further research, which may have identified the cause more quickly. However, people don't have an answer for how this would play out the other 999 times out of 1000 when the patient is lying or in psychiatric crisis. Armchair doctors say it would have been obvious if they trusted her and kept her overnight for observation. This ignores the fact that this is not what emergency departments are typically set up to do, if they did, they may have seen her blood alcohol decrease, consistent with her lying. For all we know, she left the emergency room each time with the recommendation to seek help from a specialist, but people fill in whatever narrative they want.

Regarding your questions, I do think both doctors and mechanics have a responsibility to try not to make things worse than if they had done nothing at all. I don't think the doctor is here made her condition worse.

If I have a broken car, it's my responsibility to fix or replace it, not the mechanics. If I don't like the service a mechanic offers, my choices are find a new one, do it myself, or go without.

I think people would be better served if they thought about doctors in the same manner.
Philip Glass supported himself as a plumber

>“I had gone to install a dishwasher in a loft in SoHo,” he says. “While working, I suddenly heard a noise and looked up to find Robert Hughes, the art critic of Time magazine, staring at me in disbelief. ‘But you’re Philip Glass! What are you doing here?’ It was obvious that I was installing his dishwasher and I told him I would soon be finished. ‘But you are an artist,’ he protested. I explained that I was an artist but that I was sometimes a plumber as well and that he should go away and let me finish.”

This was obviously bound to become a thing. I never got why Microsoft created this "feature" despite the self-evidently drastic risks, though I suppose I'm not too surprised.

What's more surprising though is how I remember HN folk being curiously welcoming to the whole thing when it was first announced.
The Wii console had RSA logos pretty prominently in the package, I think that suggests that Nintendo contracted or partnered with them to build and implement this scheme.
Yes, this is what Raymond Chen calls being on the other side of the airtight hatchway. Once you're admin, you can do anything. You can install keyloggers, install remote access tools, etc.

The only thing that Recall enables is that it creates this data. And since the data exists, it can be stolen. Data that doesn't exist cannot be stolen.
I’m saying the person setting up the NN is doing so by following some model of what outputs to expect from the inputs

To train a NN you need a training set of data, that data follows a certain order or pattern that represents the model that the person has

As long as the NN behaves as expected by the person setting it up, then it is useful as a model

How useful? That depends on what you are trying to do, your model and the data

If you want to take it to its extreme, all language is a model. Even what I’m expressing right now with this text. It’s just a model of what I’m thinking and the meanings I’m trying to convey

I don't know what capital-O "Open Web" is. Unfortunately, "distributed" has been tainted by cryptographic token scammers.

Can you quote anything? I don't remember microsoft saying you couldn't access your own data.

The fact that a different user can get to it so easily is bad though.

And the FAQ claims that remote access is possible but does not elaborate, so that's confusing.
Yes, they are fine for books with no features but body text and no important formatting or layout, and that the reader progresses through entirely linearly. Those are the sorts of books they’re best-suited to.
This isn't always true, but one nice thing about using an HTTP API directly is the responses are usually documented well enough that creating mocks for testing can be easier than the SDK. Additionally, I find working in an HTTP tool like Postman or Insomnium easier than in a full dev environment when I'm in the exploratory phase.
How is it useful unless you suffer from complete amnesia?

Since when is storing plaintext passwords on disk not a security concern anymore, which is precisely what this tool will do?
I am not sure if that justifies this.

If hackers pwn your desktop computer and you do not notice it, they get all the data you have access by yourself. Nothing new here.
Thanks for the report, and the kind words!

I couldn't reproduce the bug on three different browsers, so there's probably some kind of an additional constraint for just what triggers the bug. Based on the description there should be an exception printed in the the JS console. If this happens again, I'd appreciate seeing the top of the stacktrace.

(And in the meanwhile, this is is an object lesson that exception reporting to the server has to be included even in an MVP. Anything that one player reports, dozens of others must have seen and not reported.)
> isn’t providing a photographic memory of everything you do on your PC exactly what this is supposed to do?

Yes, but look at the Q&A at the bottom: apparently Microsoft told the BBC that hackers would have to have physical access to the device in order to access the data. This repo proves that's nonsense because all an attacker would have to do is install this code on your computer, which is something we already know they could do.

> Yes, you can access the data through other means than the official UI - this is the case for every software that runs on my PC.

I don't have software on my PC that indiscriminately takes screenshots of what I'm working on every few seconds, OCRs it, and indexes it in a convenient searchable database. A hacker can get a ton of information off my computer as it is, but a lot of what Recall will be saving has been hitherto ephemeral.

Hi, I'm Daniel. I'm looking for a position utilizing Edge AI to enable a sensor-side solution not otherwise possible with the delay of server-side AI inference. I have experience working on next-gen server and mainframe firmware/hardware development at IBM (as part of Design for Test and Memory teams), where I was involved in improving system start stability for the processor and menory controller. I also wrote hardware APIs and testing tools for hardware bringup, both for functional (Python instrumentation suite) and structural (VHDL RRFI tests).

I am currently consulting to design and lead the implementation of an IoT architecture that employs machine learning on embedded systems to surpass key benchmarks (company is in stealth, can't say more).

As both career and hobby I like to play in resource constrained environments to develop efficient and elegant solutions that surpass what equivalent hardware would have been capable of in the past. I'm a continuous learner currently taking hands-on coursera courses on FPGA design, real-time systems, and 3D printing CAD.

Feel free to reach out, maybe we can build something great together.

This makes a lot of sense. I would call that out, because it's really surprising out of context. Hopefully you can see how unusual it would be to try to use human interfaces from code for which in at least the majority of cases, there are programatic interfaces for each task that already exist, and would be much less bug prone / finicky. I guess the analogy would be choosing to use Webdriver to interact with a service for which there is already an API.
Nothing in this FAQ is in any way surprising. If
someone (“hackers”) gains remote access to your PC, they can also install a key logger and take screenshots. They just don’t have access to the historic data.
Asking for proof of deposits? Like statements? I mean in an ideal world I’m backing up my monthly PDF from my bank account (but for some reason it is not emailed to me, instead I have to login and navigate Byzantine menus to generate a statement).

The way to do it would be to outlaw any protocol that can encapsulate to a point that off the shelf DPI can't read it.
Even ordering from China the 1% are perfectly fine. E96 resistors are ubiquitous and cheap.
My point is that LC hards were not intended nor designed to be perfromed in an interview setting, and essentially most people will only do the in that typical interview timeline if they've lucky enough to have seen it before or lucky enough to understand the specific domain knowledge.

So I'm not sure we're interpreting the same conclusion here unless you think trick questions are a mark of a "good engineer".
And before digital circuits. All I see now is 10k, 1k and 100 Ohm resistors.
Problems still outstanding in need of solution: global warming, pollution, war, excessive concentration of wealth and poverty, housing, reactionary attacks on education, inefficient food distribution, and cancer.

It's less about the field of electronics being old and more about being surprised that ISO apparently just started counting with number 1 and that the preferred numbers would be so early relative to other things you might want to standardize.
If MS claims the data is not accessible [by malware] remotely and can only be accessed if the attacker has physical access, a POC just just fopens the file and prints it is a fair exploit POC. No matter how trivial that looks to you.
Many constraints are extremely expensive to enforce at scale to the point of being prohibitive. You are essentially turning your relational database into a graph database under the hood, with the infamously poor scalability and performance implied. A legitimate argument for the obsolescence of SQL DDL (independent of the DML) is that it defines some features that inherently scale too poorly to be used in many modern databases and it assumes certain implementation details that aren't actually true in some modern database architectures.
Context, for easy reference:

> Pale Fire is one of the greatest books I’ve ever read. It is so great it is terrifying to write about. This is not something I would normally confess, but in this case it seems better to just come out and say it, lest the reader feel the awful stammering of suppressed terror quavering through my words without knowing what they are feeling. It is terrifying!

The sentence fragment then means, "I wouldn't have mentioned that it's terrifying to write about, except I worry that the reader could tell that something was wrong by the way I wrote, but not know what."

Your definition of monopoly contains a reference to "monopoly", so I am still not sure what your definition of monopoly is. It sounds like it is something like "big company that charges a price you think is high". Why do you think you know what the "right" price is. Isn't it a good thing the company delivering the most value is capturing the most profits? They will likely continue to deliver breakthroughs with the profits they are generating. Why would you want to kneecap a company generating so much value?
