Not the person you asked, but I (in 2004) was part of sysadmin team at the school. I helped developing tools for automating many tasks around teacher and student performance measurement and tracking. I also wrote a piece of software that we

Funny. I was doing the same guided by some gut feeling, and then the Pixel vulnerability was published, where people would recover original images from the images cropped in Pixel album app

Fair enough, I haven't tried it myself, just glanced over a piece of software that does it (HMM) and saw the blogpost. In reality , though, removing just a bit pf entropy can be of great value when context is known. With LLMs in mind.

I would recommend not using pixelation as means to hide text. It is easy to reverse.

I get my salary every month. I hope they don't find out or else I'll be fired for not saving the company that amount of money.

> stealing from the company Do you imply the person didn't eat that day or what? The company compensates employees food expenses. The employee's partner made the food and thus the food can't be expended, so they bought som

Why? It is in their power to rewrite the engine (in rust) and make it everything they want. It's not like they care about cross version compatibility or something.

Might as well just download videos and watch them later.

Do you have any supporting arguments for your claims?

The article talks about sustainability, so clearly Euro isn't the unit to measure that.

If this is meant sarcastically, I'm happy to report that most places I worked at valued "soft skills" much more than "hard skills" during hiring. The rationale was: there is no use in your hard skills in our environ

Well I'm bad compared to top 10% who play at crazy speed. I can't plan top far ahead though which makes me slower. And I'm too old I guess

For me it's the other way around. I was always good at abstract sciences, like math and theoretical physics. Partially because I could operate in my mind with my very own abstractions. But I'm for example very bad at chess and tet

But my infrastructure is code! Can't you see how it's all in git?

Playing devil's advocate: perhaps the authors strongly believed in the method but have failed to produce strong enough evidence. Then the goal was to renew financing in hopes of getting somewhere with the research, not to just get cita

That's about where I gave up too. You make it sound like you disagree with me when in reality you do. There is no real reason to write any production code in bash or any other shell language.

The bigger problem I see here is the required shift of paradigm: once users/developers are allowed such things it's no longer "Apple devices own their users", it's a more traditional "Devices belong to their us

Have you tried that yourself? Especially as someone who has the skills but doesn't speak the language. I know people who can't relocate because of communication issues and/or cultural differences. No they aren't criminal
