This specific conviction upheld, yes. But no, this ruling doesn't speak to whether or not any future convictions may be overturned.

It simply means that at the trial court level, future prosecutions will not be able to rely on the good faith exception to the exclusionary rule if warrantless inculpatory evidence is obtained under similar circumstances. If the governement were to try to present such evidence at trial and the trial judge were to admit it over the objection of the defendant, then that would present a specific ground for appeal.

This ruling merely bolsters the 'better to get a warrant' spirit of the Fourth Amendment.
What’s the case for new MacBook Pros? The design hasn’t changed since the M1 as far as I know, and maybe even earlier with the x86 Retina display MacBook Pro. These minor specification changes don’t make real life use much better. When will Apple do a bigger redesign?

Why Custom Software Solutions Are Essential for Modern Business Growth
In today's rapidly evolving business landscape, off-the-shelf software solutions often fall short of meeting unique business needs. Companies are increasingly discovering that customized software solutions provide the competitive edge necessary to stay ahead in their respective markets.
Studies show that businesses implementing custom software solutions see significant improvements in efficiency and productivity. By automating routine tasks and streamlining workflows, companies can reduce operational costs while allowing their employees to focus on high-value activities that drive growth.
One of the key advantages of custom software is its ability to adapt to your specific business processes, rather than forcing your business to adapt to standardized solutions. This flexibility ensures that your technology investment directly supports your business objectives and scales with your growth.
Consider, for example, a manufacturing company that implemented a custom ERP system. They reported a 40% reduction in administrative tasks and a 25% increase in operational efficiency within the first year. These improvements directly translated to better customer satisfaction and increased profitability.
The initial investment in custom software development might seem significant, but the long-term benefits – including reduced operational costs, improved efficiency, and increased competitive advantage – often provide substantial returns on investment.

> Google’s hash match may well have established probable cause for a warrant to allow police to conduct a visual examination of the Maher file.

Very reasonable. Google can flag accounts as CP, but then a judge still needs to issue a warrant for the police to actually go and look at the file. Good job court. Extra points for reasoning about hash values.

There are many countries in the world that have such "ambiguous" rules wrt pedestrian crossings. Much of Europe, for example.

Can you cite any specific examples of this being a problem anywhere in practice?
I think most people don't really know what those things are, or what the fundamental concepts are, so I recommend people research decentralized technologies that are related to money from scratch.
Wow, do I ever not know how I feel about the "good faith exception."

It feels like it incentivizes the police to minimize their understanding of the law so that they can believe they are following it.
I think the judge chose to relax a lot on this one due to the circumstances. Releasing a man in society found with 4,000 child porn photos in his computer would be a shame.

You can unpack and view the code of any extension after you've installed it. There's even a rule against obfuscation, though I'm not sure how enforced that is.

A Chrome extension is basically a zip archive with a bunch of JavaScript inside. There's no safeguarding of the code within.
Heh, ok, maybe slightly different. But apple spec claims 546GB/sec which works out to 512 bits (64 bytes) * 8533. I didn't think the point was 8533 vs 8800.

The laws are clear about this. If the crosswalk has a crossing indicator, allowing people to cross, then the people have the right of way. It doesn't matter what the person in the car is wanting to do, they must yield to pedestrians. If they hit a pedestrian, then it's clearly the driver's fault. If a pedestrian crosses outside of a crosswalk (a distance away from a crosswalk), they are supposed to yield to oncoming cars. If they don't and the pedestrian gets hit by a car, it's the pedestrian's fault. Got it?

> In one article PRODIGY stated:

> "We make no apology for pursuing a value system that reflects the culture of the millions of American families we aspire to serve. Certainly no responsible newspaper does less when it chooses the type of advertising it publishes, the letters it prints, the degree of nudity and unsupported gossip its editors tolerate."

The judge goes on to note that while Prodigy had since ceased its initial policy of direct editorial review of all content, they did not make an official announcement of this, so were still benefitting from the marketing perception that the content was vetted by Prodigy.

I don't know if I would have ruled the same way in that situation, and honestly, it was the NY Supreme Court, which is not even an appellate jurisdiction in NY, and was settled before any appeals could be heard, so it's not even clear that this would have stood.

A situation where each individual case was decided on its merits until a reasonable de facto standard could evolve I thing would have been more responsible and flexible than a blanked immunity standard which has led to all sorts of unfortunate dynamics that significantly damage the ability to have an online public square for discourse.

I appreciate the different feature sets, but there's almost always another endpoint agent you can build that behavior onto/through in the modern enterprise. Posture control isn't exactly a unique feature, and my original opinion still stands: between CrowdStrike, Tanium, SentinelOne, Defender, AirWatch, New Relic, and OpenTelemetry, I've seen a web of similar-ish feature sets with agents alone consuming upwards of 10% of the machine's CPU power just in the background.

What's worse, Wazuh doesn't even fully replace any of those above agents, meaning it has to be yet another complimentary agent on the machine. No thanks, when New Relic + OpenTelemetry can feed me all of the machine's logs and monitoring statistics, while a competent ITAM/ITSM can alert on out-of-bounds posture and trigger network or Identity systems to shutdown access. Hell, I'm old enough to remember when basic log forwarding and SNMP traps were all that was needed to effectively monitor machines, before developers and vendors began locking stuff up behind new APIs or services they could monetize better.

Don't get me wrong, I want Wazuh to succeed because nobody should have to shell out thousands of dollars a month for basic security posturing and monitoring; right now though, Wazuh ain't it.
In Vienna, which has very good public transport and a large walking population, there is a strong culture against jaywalking. Locals will wait at the crosswalk sign even on minor roads with no traffic. Having lived in New York, London, and other places, I've never seen anything like it.

> Many influenza experts are concerned about enhanced zoonotic potential for H5N1 viruses that might spill over and establish ongoing infections in swine populations. Swine already endemically carry many human spillover H1 and H3 viruses, and pigs are prone to easily reassort viral segments when co-infected with 2 viral strains. This potential reassortment between a mammalian-adapted H5N1 and swine-human H1-H3 / N1-N2 endemic viruses in commercial production swine is a potential shortcut to a fully adapted H5 human pandemic strain[0].

It's a reasonable argument, but a concerning one because it hinges on a couple of layers of indirection between the person engaging in consuming the content and the person doing the harm / person who is harmed.

That's not outside the purview of US law (especially in the world post-reinterpretation of the Commerce Clause), but it is perhaps worth observing how close to the cliff of "For the good of Society, you must behave optimally, Citizen" such reasoning treads.

For example: AI-generated CP (or hand-drawn illustrations) are viscerally repugnant, but does the same "individual suffering and social damage" reasoning apply to making them illegal? The FBI says yes to both in spite of the fact that we can name no human that was harmed or was unable to give consent in their fabrication (handwaving the source material for the AI, which if one chooses not to handwave it: drop that question on the floor and focus on under what reasoning we make hand-illustrated cartoons illegal to possess that couldn't be applied to pornography in general).

I always catch myself in this same train of thought until it finally re-occurs to me that "no, the variable here is just that you're old." Part of it is that I have more money now, so I buy better products that last longer. Part of it is that I have less uninterrupted time for diving deeply into new interests which leads to always having new products on the wishlist.

In the world of personal computers, I've seen very few must-have advances in adulthood. The only two unquestionable big jumps I can think of off hand are Apple's 5K screens (how has that been ten years?!) and Apple Silicon. Other huge improvements were more gradual, like Wi-Fi, affordable SSDs, and energy efficiency. (Of course it's notable that I'm not into PC gaming, where I know there has been incredible advances in performance and display tech.)

Hello. A few questions:

- Where is the source code? This is critical for it to be inspected before adding to any repos.
- What models are you using?
- Where are the models running?
- When you say it learns from your codebase is it building a RAG or similar database or are you fine tuning from other people's code?

I can fairly easily get my M1 Air to have thermal issues while on extended video calls with some Docker containers running, and have been on calls with others having the same issue. Kind of sucks if it's, say, an important demo. I mostly use it as a thin client to my desktop when I'm away from home, so it's not really an issue, but if I were using it as a primary device I'd want a machine with a fan.
is there a difference, legally, regarding vehicular involuntary manslaughter, between hitting someone who is jaywalking and someone who is not. Example, a person walks into a 65 mph thoroughfare after a curve, since they are no longer in the commencement of a crime, does that make the act tantamount to hitting someone in a crosswalk?
The notion that a president can do this unilaterally without Congress is very strange. While I understand the laws and norms around executive authority are often pushed against, you cannot legally defund an entire agency by executive order.

I guess it's like if someone noticed you had a case shaped exactly like a machine gun, told the police, and they went to check if it was registered or not? I suppose that seems perfectly reasonable, but I'm happy to hear counter-arguments.

Cognitive dissonance is a psychological concept introduced by Leon Festinger in 1957, describing the internal discomfort people experience when their beliefs, values, or actions conflict. This discomfort arises because humans have a natural drive to maintain consistency between their beliefs and actions, and when this balance is disrupted, it creates mental tension. For instance, a person who values health but smokes cigarettes may feel cognitive dissonance because their actions don’t align with their beliefs. There are several ways people reduce dissonance: they might change their beliefs (e.g., convincing themselves that smoking isn't that harmful), alter their behavior (e.g., quit smoking), or downplay the significance of the conflict (e.g., deciding that they don’t care as much about health). Dissonance often occurs in decision-making; after choosing between two attractive options, people might feel regret or try to justify their choice by exaggerating the benefits of the selected option and minimizing those of the rejected one. This theory is central in psychology as it explains behaviors like self-justification and rationalization and is commonly observed in social and personal contexts, such as politics, health, and relationships. For example, in consumer behavior, someone who buys an expensive item may feel dissonance over the cost but justify it by focusing on the item’s quality or durability. Similarly, in relationships, someone who believes in honesty but lies to avoid conflict may experience dissonance, prompting them to either justify the lie or make amends. Cognitive dissonance is foundational for understanding how people manage internal conflicts and adapt their beliefs to align with their actions, illustrating the powerful human need for mental harmony.

In Germany, crossing at a red light is very frowned upon. Many Germans even wait at a red pedestrian light in the middle of the night when there's zero traffic.

Crossing streets in places without pedestrian lights or designated crossings is very common, though, and I believe usually legal. (I certainly haven't heard of anybody being fined for it.)

I think the promise-based model is the ideal model. After reading [1], I'm convinced that it's very close to realizing the underlying state machine ([2]) of the program, and I find that valuable. I agree that fibers are easier to use, but not simpler. I understand that my hard-line approach is not practical everywhere, but at least the async model used by Rust is not just a concession to the C ABI and whatnot, but an important model in its own right. So I think that it is quite sensible, if not practical for most programmers to make sense of :). Add fiber abstractions on top if appropriate, of course.

For non-broken cryptographic hashes (e.g., SHA-256), the false-positive rate is negligible. Indeed, cryptographic hashes were designed so that even nation-state adversaries do not have the resources to generate two inputs that hash to the same value.

Hmm yeah I'm not surprised that interfacing safe Rust with an existing unsafe C/C++ API is painful. That's really true in every language. (Although I haven't tried Zig tbf.)

I'm also not totally convinced that rewrite from scratch is always the wrong thing. For small projects the total work rewriting can be much less than dealing with this kind of FFI.
> Out of curiosity, what is false positive rate of a hash match?

No way to know without knowledge of the 'proprietary hashing technology'.
Theoretically though, a hash can have infinitely many inputs that produce the same output.

Mismatching hash values from the same hashing algorithm can prove mismatching inputs, but matching hash values don't ensure matching inputs.
