The commenter I replied to said "It (the number of activists) has everything to do with it". That is pretty strong language to me. I infer from that the commenter wanted to suggest that the number of activists is the only factor

When you say "real world" do you mean the matrix? Because we only get fractions of a second of a glimpse of the "real" world in this trailer as far as I can tell.

In this case, I don't think it's necessary to go into too much detail about how the immune system works. The issue is that if you are going to _some_ level of detail, then you need to include all the relevant context. In this cas

Apple have stated that they will make the database of hashes that their system uses auditable by researchers. Does anyone know if that has happened yet? Is it possible to view the database and if so, in what form? Can the actual hashes be e

How can an external tool do this? As far as I know, there is no way to show half of your audience a title/thumbnail and the other half another title/thumbnail. If they are not testing different variants at the same time, it limits

That's probably a good clarification to make - some people have more friends than others so when you say you bought them each a house that could be just 4-5 people or 40-50. Good for you that you can share your good fortune with your f

What did the naysayers say? That the algorithm wouldn't be able to handle cropping and rotation? Did Apple claim that it would?

It's incredibly frustrating when a software update offers no feedback. I understand Apple doesn't want to burden its non-technical users with the details of what the update is doing but it gives them no recourse when something hap

I didn't get the impression that anyone will be able to audit the contents of the database, but they can probably see its binary format.

I'm suggesting that the client-side CSAM scanning technology could allow Apple to turn on true E2E encryption and still satisfy the government's requirement to report on CSAM which as you point out is not something that Apple curr

No, I meant true E2E encryption. Unless I'm missing something in your comment.

The difference between Apple being able to scan data on your phone vs on their servers comes down to who is able to access your data. In both cases, Apple has access. But by storing both your data and your keys somewhere in their cloud serv

They would not talk about this in their public messaging because it would require them to admit that their privacy policies are influenced not just by their own company morals but also by the government. They would have to say something lik
