That's a good point. However, I think for the entity to do that in practice, the entity would need to also own the trademark and the Github repo (or wherever development takes place). So there's no real risk to assigning copyright

Netflix limits FF and Chrome on Windows to 1080p. On Linux it's even worse: 720p. And up through Dec 2023, FF and Chrome on Windows were limited to 720p. That's right, it wasn't until 2024 that Netflix on Chrome on Windows

Apple is a group of people. It's not run by AI. I was specifically talking about the people in Apple who work on the feature and wrote the documentation for the feature.

I have a hard time understanding that sentence. Organizers of what? The businesses, or illicit tobacco? What does standing over mean? It's not clear to me why standing over would be a motivation for attacks.

It says "9 hours ago" to me. Is this one of those situations where HN reposted the post and the comments as well? I wish the date and time were kept accurate instead of being confusingly changed.

If we make it strict enough to block exfiltration, it'll block the external libraries from loading. So that means we have to load our scripts from the same origin instead of external origins (as jclarkcom suggested). But the whole reas

Sure, but it's more than a promise that they won't look. Apple currently believes it's impossible to look.

It sounds like there was an engine out due to a bird strike. The pilot might not have noticed the gear alarm because of the engine alarm.

But wouldn't the homomorphic encryption prevent Apple's servers from knowing if there was a match or not?

Why? The CSP policy isn't setting default-src or img-src. So image loads are allowed from everywhere.

I don't think the AI removed proper nouns, but rather uncapitalized the proper nouns. It sounds to me like the AI was trying to improve formatting, but instead made formatting worse.

I don't think that will prevent data exfiltration. Malicious javascript could create e.g. an img element with the data to exfiltrate stored in a query parameter of the image URL.

I didn't say it needs to be sent 2 digits at a time. The points of my previous comment: * Ascii is only needed if we need to encode things other than just letters (or if case matters). * Hex is only better than decimal if hex allows th

by Thorrez 2y ago
You can't represent 26 possibilities with a single hex digit. So it'll require 2 hex digits. If you're going to require 2 digits, then that can be done with 2 decimal digits as well. So there's no need for hex, and no ne
