Microsoft has a blog with more details [0] but the Axios article does a good job of summarizing the main points. The full report is also available to read [1].
If it uses a hash of an image, does that mean an edited image (eg cropped or resized) wouldn't be detected? Or is there a way to extend a single hash to multiple image variants? I imagine the answer is no, but I would also like to be optimistic and think even detecting the original version would stop a lot of NCII sharing (ie it's not a perfect solution, but still helpful).
Quite an interesting review, with lots of useful learnings for practitioners (in my opinion). I also liked the use of the term "graphical literacy" in the abstract, which is something I've seen cause challenges first hand (though I never thought to use that term):
"Effectively designed data visualizations allow viewers to use their powerful visual systems to understand patterns in data across science, education, health, and public policy. But ineffectively designed visualizations can cause confusion, misunderstanding, or even distrust—especially among viewers with low graphical literacy."
In case it's helpful, here's the first paragraph from the post:
"The original KiCad domain name (kicad-pcb.org) was recently sold to an unnamed third party that is not affiliated with the KiCad Project or members of the KiCad Development Team. This sale was unexpected and may pose a risk to KiCad users. The new owners may simply post advertisements or (worst-case scenario) they may host malicious versions of the KiCad software for download."
I wish the subtitle could have been included in the HN posting: "Scientists scramble to harvest ice cores as glaciers melt"
The next paragraph provides more context: "Ice provides historical records about climate and shows the impact humanity has had. But many glaciers are now melting, prompting renewed urgency among scientists."
