Yes, it should still be! The motion of the planets in the sky is relatively small day-over-day.

A good way to verify yourself would be to use a tool like Stellarium Web [1] and set your location and set the time to tonight at say, 3am (the planets become more visible as you get nearer to dawn tomorrow). You could even change the time from say 6/25 at 3am to 6/24 at 3am to see just how much / little it changes night-over-night.

Same here. It was working when I first visited 10 minutes ago, but I got an error at some point and now it won't load (multiple browsers, multiple computers).

Interestingly enough, I turned this off some time ago, and just yesterday, I noticed the hover behavior, and had to go back and turn it off again. I wonder if some / all of user prefs for this field got botched?

Thankfully, unlike sibling comments to mine, I still had the option and it worked no problem.

This comment adds nothing to the discussion and of course ignores important factors like:

* people with cancer or autoimmune diseases * concerning early signals like drastically increased hospitalizations in the under-2 population * unchecked spread allowing further mutations that could be worse

It also lacks human decency.

Not the author, but this[1] looks to be the listing for the D1 Mini from the LOLIN official store.

FWIW I'm not defending this, but it's important to get the facts correct.

1) Someone can't just randomly review one of your images. The implementation is built on threshold secret sharing, so the visual derivative can't be reviewed (is cryptographically secure) unless you hit the threshold of matched content.

2) You're uploading these files to iCloud, which is currently not end-to-end encrypted. So these photos can be reviewed in the current iCloud regime.

And?

My point about visual proxies was in reference to the OP's point:

> Also, what controls exist on those who have to review the material? What if it's a nude photo of an adult celebrity? How confident are we that someone can't take a snap of that on their own phone and sell it or distribute it online? It doesn't have to be a celebrity either of course.

I never said that a visual proxy/derivitive wasn't CSAM.

I assume your point had something to do with the legality of sending this data to Apple for review?

I'm not a lawyer, and I have read that NCMEC is the only entity with a legal carve out for possessing CSAM, but if FB and Google already have teams of reviewers for this type of material and other abuse images, I imagine there must be a legal way for this type of review to take place. I mean, these were all images that were being uploaded to iCloud anyway.

I don't know how I feel about all of this yet (still trying to understand better), but your post implies that you've made a lot of incorrect assumptions about how this system works.

For example, the main system in discussion never sends the image to Apple, only a "visual proxy", and furthermore, it only aims to identify known (previously cataloged) CSAM.

There's a [good primer of this on Daring Fireball](https://daringfireball.net/2021/08/apple_child_safety_initia...)
