12/24/2004 01:06 PMIn anticipation of Tivo's presenting ads while we fast forward, I'm
looking into building (or buying?) a MythTV, an open source project
that turns a linux box into a Tivo++. We love Tivo, but MythTV looks
much better. (We're also going to try to buy our next TV before the
Broadcast Flag goes into effect in July 1, 2005.) I find myself
amazingly confused, however. For example, the EFF says that PC TV
tuners will record HDTV off of over-the-air broadcasts but not off of
cable boxes. That sounds crazy...crazy like the FCC. (Tivo also
doesn't record HDTV, except through...

The EFF has an interesting,
if somewhat milquetoast call out to programmers and other geeks to
help develop the MythTV project, specifically to make it easier to use
by the average consumer. Their fear is that the FCC's broadcast flag
(a DRM system that will lock down your ability, unless permitted by
broadcasters, to exercise your fair use rights, like copying or
timeshifting, on HDTV streams) will pass into law as scheduled about a
year from now. There is a loophole, currently, that allows
unrestricted HDTV devices to be sold and resold, even after the
broadcast flag goes into effect.
The idea is, I think, to try to get as many unrestricted HDTV
tuners and PVRs into the hands of people as possible, not only to free
themselves from future restriction, but to raise awareness that the
government, in the pocket of Hollywood, has already made plans to put
the squeeze on your rights.

Recent posts about LOAF, which
uses Bloom filter, created a small surge of discussion about bloom
filters, most notable
being the Using
Bloom Filters article at Perl.com by Maciej
Ceglowski whom I like to remember as the fish guy (visit his
blog to see why).
I went fishing for some bloom filter code but couldn't find a
general library in either
Java or C++. There was one for Perl but... Anyhow,
it's probably
because there isn't much code needed. Most
of the Bloom filter works
is finetuning the parameters and choosing the right hashing
function so it doesn't
really matter.
Beside Maciej's article, I found these pages useful:
BF is pretty simple stuff but useful in many areas. I am
thinking of using it
to detect 'access devices' (user name, password, SSN, credit card
numbers, etc.) being
submitted translucently (translucent as in Translucent
Database) so I can throw up a dialog warning to the user.

recent
knowledge base entry describes in fairly good detail how spam is
filtered from .Mac accounts. According to Apple uses software from
Brightmail along with list-based
filtering. Apparently Apple also does something on their own:
.Mac also monitors all incoming message activity for
trends. This information can reveal a previously unknown source of
spam when they begin to send mail to members of the .Mac
community.
It's an interesting look behind .Mac. For our .Mac using readers: how

I'll spare my readers the details - but if you're really nerdy, a
math kind of gal or guy or in general wanna see the results of great
open collaborative work - check it out. And
continue to check out PeoplesDNS.com.
The idea here is that ideas and their implementation turn into
money. Not the other way around. This is what I wished VCs
and investors understood that better. That it's NOT about
money.
Sure making money is important, but the ideas are more
important. The ideas change the world, money buys bombs and
war. Ideas make the world a better place, money just keeps the
rich staying richer. But we software gals and guys like to get
paid - so we have to work for money. But there's always working
for ourselves - too.
I just wish soem of those 'rich guys' (i.e. billionaire
entreprenuers) would throw a little cash (like a $200M) at some open
source projects and see what happens. I bet allot more than the next
John Doerr investment.
One day the software industry is gonna wake up and find that we
don't need their VCs anymore. But we will need lots of
enterprise salespeople. That's what VCs will turn into (what
they REALLY are right now.)
Have to I told you much I like hanging out with really smart
people?
Here's Joel's explanation of the De Gan filter:
Tue Apr 27 9:03:06 CDT 2004
I was
introduced to Danny via Marc Canter who I am
doing some opensource work with, I am creating a peoplesdns for use with
FOAF files for the peepagg project.
Danny thought I may make good use of an old form hash filter created
in the early 70's called a blo
om filter (named after it's late creator Burton Bloom). I
realized that this filter was amazing on smaller data sets but needed
something to be able to handle huge sets so I created the De Gan
filter (following the naming convention) which can hold
huge datasets in a one-way hash matrix. It is not efficient with
smaller datasets, but with larger datasets it is incrementally more
efficient in space than the binary bloom filter.
For instance, DNS can be held in around 75M in a bloom filter,
with the De Gan filter it can be held in around 20M With larger
datasets this continues (a 250M bloom filter could be held in a 65M De
Gan filter and so forth)

blog entry about the filters
Joel De Gan and Danny Ayers are dudes that I knew
would hit it off. And these Drupal
dudes are happening as well. All that was needed was a
little Type-A megalomaniac, visionary thang - that's where I come
in. Everybody's got a role - you line up the right team and
magic can happen.
OK - back to testing the world's first true DLA.

"Computer scientists from the University of Bath have written a
software which transforms your ordinary photographs and movies into cubist works of
art and animation reminiscent of Picasso. They trained their
software to identify important elements of a face, such as a nose, eye
or mouth, until the computer learned how to recognize them on its own.
This was achieved by giving the software a kind of 'aesthetic sense.'
Then, by "using photographs of a subject taken from multiple points of
view, the software automatically picks out important areas within the
image, which are cut out as chunks. The chunks are statistically
shuffled and a few of them randomly selected and distorted into a
'cubist' composition ready for digital painting." The software is not
yet publicly available, but software and animation companies have
expressed interest. My blog
contains additional references and images."

Porn Filters For Adults
Porn Filters For Adults
04/16/2004 03:29 AMThe official target market for internet porn filters tends to be
parents who want to make sure their children don't run across porn
sites on the web (purposely or by accident). However, according to
this Salon article, an increasing number of sales are going to
adults who want to keep their spouses from accessing porn. There
certainly have been plenty of stories about online porn or "online
infidelity" leading to the breakup of marriages, but I do wonder
whether or not placing a filter on the computer is just a way of
whitewashing over a deeper issue. Obviously, if porn is getting in
the way of a relationship, then there are bigger issues than just
access to porn.

Internet Filters? Sometimes Good,

Internet Filters? Sometimes Good,
Sometimes Bad
07/06/2004 03:14 AMThe NY Times is making fun of both the ACLU and the government for
what appears to be
contradictory
positions on internet filters. They point to two big cases in the
past two years, where each side appears to take an opposing viewpoint.
In the recent
ruling
on porn blocking, the ACLU argued that filters were fine and we
don't need a law to stop online porn. The government argued the
opposite viewpoint, saying filters were not effective by themselves.
However, last year, the ACLU argued that
filters
were a terrible way to stop porn in the case over whether or not
libraries could be required to put internet filters in place in order
to receive federal funds. However, when you look at the details, the
positions aren't as contradictory as the NY Times would like you to
believe. The ACLU believes that no one should be
forced by the
government into using filters. However, if someone (or some
organization) decides to use them on their own, that's perfectly
reasonable. The government's position is just as internally
consistent as well -- looking for any way to stop children from
accessing porn. The difference is that the two sides disagree on how
effective the means are, and whether or not they block out certain
other constitutional rights.
