There are things to hate about AI besides the slop it outputs. To name a few: - The training set being mostly art made be real humans without their consent or compensation - The work that is taken away from skilled, talented musicians - The environmental impact of global AI deployments - The further consolidation of power in the hands of the very few who DO have a motive

AI being "fun" for kids who aren't able to grasp the negative externalities of using AI doesn't make it something to admire

Sure but these are low-risk bets for him personally. When they don't work out 8,000 folks pay the price and he is still one of the richest people on the planet who will never have to worry about money, food, housing, or healthcare.

Hmm not sure what you mean. The hashes are shipped with iOS, and then (if parental controls are enabled) compared with the hashes computed against the unencrypted data on-device, and displays a warning to the user and their parents.

I'm not sure how the image is displayed on the parents' device - it could be sent from the child's device, or the image used to compute the hash that the child's image matched could be displayed.

This is an anecdote - plenty of firms are using Scala in their data engineering stacks and it's a great tool for the job.

While maybe not strictly necessary per se, it's a great way to get a foot in the door, and provides a great way to foster advanced type systems and functional programming (I personally find it to be a really fun language to write in to boot).

This wouldn't just require them to have your face and fingerprint though - This would require them to

1. Have access to your phone

2. Be able to spoof the phone's authentication mechanisms (whether that be fingerprint / face)

In this regard, it passes the 2FA test (something that you own, and something that you are).

While it's true that you can't really change your face or fingerprint, this facilitates moving away from the "password repeated across multiple accounts" landscape of insecurity.

How is this different from them calling up a known associate and asking them for my location?

Until there is real privacy enforcement here, and it's clear that location data is owned by the person being tracked and not some third party that happens to have their hands on it, I don't see this pattern going away.

Been using airflow in Production at a small start-up for almost 4 years now and been very happy with it (small dockerized deployment, and simple syncing with github) - what big company problems does it solve that make it unsuitable for use at small companies?

I picked up Unravel 2 and have been playing it with my non-gamer girlfriend - she's had no problem picking it up and it's quite fun and challenging for both of us, both from a technical perspective (Most puzzles only require precise inputs from one player) and a mind-twister perspective. I believe it is only two player co-op, though, so if you've got more than one kid to entertain then this one might not be for you.

While this is true, it is obvious how the other names he listed would benefit from such tracking. It is not clear to me why Apple would do this, as it runs opposite of their product marketing, and their business model does not obviously benefit from tracking the way the others do.

While I agree that having Discord should be innocuous, a parent who has no idea what Discord is should know that it could be used to talk to (potentially dangerous) strangers online.

A simple "Hey (son/daughter), the police told me that if anybody on Discord tells you to download LOIC, then you're probably in with the wrong crowd" is what I would hope would come of this (along with the typical internet stranger danger shpiel).

I also am scared of the worst case scenario you present, but this brochure doesn't seem like that to me.

This is what the cynic in me is worried about. As somebody who grew up with parents who had no idea what I was doing on the computer (no fault of their own, they just didn't have access to the tools I did growing up), I can see them being worried. Providing advice and materials is exactly what I would hope the police would provide to them (which is in-line with what this brochure says).

I acknowledge that this brochure _might_ represent fear-mongering, but based on what's actually written in the brochure, it doesn't sound like the police are looking to put kids on a list.

Don't really see the problem with this - the optimist in me believes that this can be helpful for parents who might be in over their heads. The leaflet isn't necessarily asking for vigilance to put kids on watch lists, just to give parents and kids some information on what is/not wrong to do.

"let us know so we can give advice and engage them into positive diversions"

Sounds like police actually trying to have a positive impact here.

This looks almost exactly like Airflow - I wonder what Apache’s plan is for both of these to coexist.
