If you plan to use a RPi4 as a router:

1. It can handle up to 650 Mbit if you use firewalling with iptables

2. You only need one (1) interface if you use VLANS.

I'm having a hard time visualizing how I could use only one interface. How would the rest of the devices connects? Or are you suggesting using as a wifi only router?

I saw another article which included a screenshot of the mistake on facebook. The photo is blurry, and contains a side view of the person and iirc the backdrop is in nature. The main indicator that it was a person was the fact they were wearing clothing. Clearly the AI is not good enough, but I will admit that the data it was working on is tricky to achieve perfect accuracy.

The article I saw with the screenshot was from NYTimes:

I like age. I use it with wormhole for quick transfer jobs. Thanks for all the work on this!

Gorillas have black and human-like faces. I think they're just quite similar so AI can more easily confuse them.

I’m fairly certain if you showed pictures of both groups to a toddler they’d be able to sort them correctly. It’s really not hard for a human to tell the difference. Which tells me that FB’s AI isn’t really that great.

In this case, reacting to the headline is less outrageous.

The sage wisdom from the ILM professor was essentially to avoid pissing off rejected candidates by not interviewing them, as interviewing is a signal that the employees are qualified.

That’s pretty fucked up, when you think about what that means from a practical perspective. You’re either interviewing people who are unqualified (some of whom will get positions due to circumstances) or turn selection of candidates over to a star chamber.

Sounds great for morale. Lol.

It makes sense, if the candidate is interviewed + rejected they know there is no upward mobility for them in the company. The next logical step is to look for employment elsewhere that may offer upward mobility.

Maybe it's an imperfect market. Is there an auction site for zero days where Microsoft could bid on their own exploits?

I'd be in favor of something like this. Why should the criminal justice system and every tax payer be on the hook for protecting these big companies from the consequences of their bug-ridden software?

0x426577617265 · 5 years ago

zerodium does payout for zero days -- but I don't think this would qualify. Scroll down to see list of prices.

I’m also long time Linux user and thinking for swapping to Mac on new MBP releases. Are you telling me that I can’t use same tools anymore than in Linux? I dont really care abot gui tools or gui tweaking. Terminal and browser is enough. I have lived with the illusion that almost anything with source code is possible to make work. E.g brew even automates this.

0x426577617265 · 5 years ago

I switched from Linux to an M1 MacBook Air when it came out. I just don't sign into iCloud or use the app store and I have a pretty great experience. The battery life is fantastic and I just install applications from developer's websites.I use FireFox for browser, built in Terminal, Enpass (password manager), Parallels Desktop (VMs), Thunderbird, and Joplin for notes. That's really all I use. So no need for any of the other Apple ecosystem. I do use brew to use stuff like tmux and a few other cli tools.

Is there any particular reason the author paying rent via donations is different from any of us paying rent from our work? You decided to use Googles distribution platform and infrastructure while not sharing the revenue - fully knowing it is illegal in the Play Store to accept payments outside of the platform. Basically you attempted to steal the efforts Google invested in creating and promoting Android, it’s development tools and infrastructure - and they banned you for it.

These aren't payments. The user isn't purchasing anything.

So the 4th Amendment doesn't cover Apple voluntarily inducing their devices to check for CSAM prior to cloud upload.

But the 4th Amendment would cover Apple being forced to modify their system to scan for anything else the Government has told them to.

0x426577617265 · 5 years ago

That's correct. If the government asked them to do it, then it would require a warrant to conduct the search.
