You can look up what Adobe are doing in this space.

Long-term it’s going to be something like every secure device comes with its own inbuilt unit for cryptographically signing the raw files. These signatures can then be matched against manufacturers databases of approved signatures.

This doesn’t guarantee that nothing has been tampered with, but it does provide a link back to the original device allowing you to inspect it.

There are huge privacy concerns as well, anything that’s used to indicate authenticity can be used to track.

I’m amazed a reviewer read the code.

It’s interesting. There’s a lot of talk about how chatgpt makes people lazy, but honestly I think Google killed the “read the manual” ethos.

Back in the day when you couldn’t just search for everything, you needed enough understanding of the manual to find anything in the index.

So a key part of figuring anything out was reading at least the start of the manual.

Now, fuck it, you just type into Google and try to guess enough context to understand what’s going on.

Yeah, but it can be filled in with “house”.

You’ve got it backwards.

This kind of voting forces the existence of two party systems.

Suppose you have two parties one left wing that gets 60% of the vote and one right wing that gets 40% in every district. Right now the left wing always wins.

If the left wing party splits into two blocks of 30% each, the right wing always wins.

So if you want to win, you can never split from the large parties, even if you feel unrepresented.

Depends.

You can argue that it’s basically art/political speech. You’ve done it to draw attention to flaws in the approach and to highlight how ineffectual the current system is, and that if you actually wanted to do make fake IDs you’d take a much less high-profile approach. As such, there’s no actual criminal intent required.

Don’t know if a judge would buy it though.

Everytime the supreme Court does something batshit that allows Trump more power, I wonder if this is what Godel was worried about.
