Since Gartner coined the managed detection and response (MDR) category in 2016, many organizations have turned to MDR providers in the hopes they’d help ease the burden for their overworked security teams and improve their cybersecurity posture. Seven years later, though, the shine has worn off. In this blog post, we will explore why MDR is no longer a viable option for many organizations and what alternatives are available for improving cybersecurity and reducing the workload of security teams.

I may sound like a shill but I think paying for O'Reilly is worth it. You get access to many books and videos outside the O'Reilly publisher. Definitely worth it, I tend to read a tech book a month (maybe 2 if it's "light.")

Many of the books being suggested in the other comments are available as well (will definitely start Hands-On Rust because it seems very cool, and Practical Common Lisp shortly afterwards).

Out of all the "tutorial" offerings I only pay for three services:

O'Reilly (four years so far)

Educative.io (two years)

Frontendmasters (eight years)

Every year I test out other services (pluralsight, lynda/linkedin learning, egghead, etc) but outside of one or three core offerings they don't seem to be a good value for what I want.
Banning this is the right move for the wrong reasons, imo. TikTok (and Youtube shorts) are both terribly addictive and we should make sure we understand their impacts on developing (and developed) minds before just opening the floodgates to them.

8 is a good number actually, register machine performance improves with more registers. The problem is that VM code bloat also increases with register count.

Let me see if I can reproduce the basic breakdown:

1. 8 registers for a machine word type, 8 registers for a floating point type.

2. Arithmetic opcodes for these types should use 3-operands, because program bytecode will be much more compact than with 2-operand opcodes, since the latter requires programs to add more move/load/store instructions to preserve register contents. Better to have more instructions that can be shared between VM instances than bloating the program bytecode which can't be shared. Each 3-operand instruction thus requires 8^3=512 permutations per instruction type.

3. Basic opcodes: unsigned word add, sub, mul, div, signed word add, sub, mul, div, floating point add, sub, mul, div, lshift, rshift, and, or, xor, load word, store word, load float, store float, load byte, store byte. So that's 512 permutations * 23 instructions = 11,776 machine instructions.

4. Then you have some 2-operand opcodes: beq, bne, bge, blt (branching instructions), so that's 8^2 permutations * 4 instructions = 256 machine instructions.

5. Machine instructions are ~8 bytes on 64-bit machines, so that's (11,776 + 256) * 8 = ~96kB for the raw machine code implementing the opcode instructions.

Much better than I remember actually. I think at the time I was looking at more registers and more primitive types, like supporting byte, signed and unsigned integers, etc. so that leads to more permutations, but those aren't strictly necessary. Since the permutations scale to the third power with the number of registers, the register count needs to be kept small.
We've seen a few crises here - COVID, Ukraine war. Most of the time HN goes into full panic, more so than people on most other social media sites. And then it quiets down and we go back to talking about burnout.

I think it's because the people here are mostly comfortable upper middle class planning for retirement. Most humans are trying to have enough to survive the next month. A delivery driver once said the odds of dying and long term injury from a motorcycle accident were much higher than dying to COVID. Someone in Ukraine here said similar about the odds of dying to a missile or drone attack. But the odds of dying without a job is pretty damn high so they do their dangerous jobs nonetheless. Blue collars tend to be less affected.

White collars, however, tend to have a 35 year plan and there's all kinds of black swan events that can mess up that plan. People go into lockdowns with more grief than losing a parent.

I'll put it like this: if parts of the US government are using exploits to de-anonymise TOR users, which is hard to dispute, and they're funding the TP, which they are and always have done, and they're the US government, which has never had any qualms about interfering with companies that aren't funded by them, never mind ones that are, why do you think they wouldn't delay patches in order to maintain an exploit?

the US collective funds TOR so that they can exert control over the field of play, or even just keep it in sight. perhaps that control is relatively small and only used in extremely high-profile cases, but that's more useful than nothing at all

> if you don’t want or can’t get dedicated stationary storage (although it comes with generous federal, state, and utility subsidies in California).

I installed stationary LFP batteries (from Enphase) on my house in CA 1.5 years ago, but I then discovered that the state and utility subsidies [1] only apply if you are in a very low income (for CA) bracket, have a health condition that requires backup power, or live in a high fire risk zone.

I don't qualify for the first 2 categories, and my luck is that the high fire risk zone starts about a mile away from my house, so good from the fire risk perspective, but not for the subsidy. Still got the 26% federal tax credit (with IRA, it's now back up to 30%).

I experimented with them (also with capnproto) at my last job for a usecase involving dense numerical data where being able to randomly seek within a dataset would have been really helpful for speed reasons, but found that as compared to protobuf, these formats were unacceptably bulky (lots of extra padding for word alignment, etc.), and the added cost even just to read the extra data from disk mostly negated the savings from avoiding the explicit decode step, plus would have had significant implications in terms of storage cost, etc. I ended up writing a custom wire format that allowed for seeking with less wasted space.

Seems like a neat idea, but as another commenter said, the usecases where it's the best choice seem pretty narrow.

Oh yeah this is the other thing for sure. In my lab I didn't need a clearance for the work I was doing, but my boss had one and his later grants were going to require it. He asked me to come back and I declined because I didn't want a clearance.

It's not just annoying to get it, it's kind of intrusive to keep it. You have to notify the government when you travel to foreign countries, if you have contacts with foreigners of certain nationalities when you are at conferences, you have to be careful with your social media presence (many people with clearances don't have one at all for this reason), no drug usage even if it's legal in your state, etc. I don't like the feeling of those kinds of restrictions so I said no to that lifestyle.
It's not as black and white. EV batteries are getting produced and will get produced quite a lot it seems. We'll be using them for transportation, but if we can also use them for short-term grid storage, that certainly improves the sustainability math. Using things better is a win, so let's do it.

We can't green the planet with Duracells, but it's certainly better than producing and not fully using the Duracells.

So let's say i have a lisp macro along the lines of

(analyze 1 2 expensiveComputation)

In python, to prevent evaluating all arguments when running analyze, I'd have to pass expensiveComputation as a callable or a function partial and remember to call it if I need it.

Whereas in lisp, I can pass whatever expensive variable I want into the macro because it will only get evaluated when using (expensiveComputation ...) and that's baked into the language.
These lines were both personal and aggressive:

There's definitely a recession, however it's hiding behind inflation and rising interest rates. The two trillion in reverse repos are why the recession is having a softer introduction than you may be used to seeing. Companies are both responding too and getting ahead of the equities crunch. The economy crashed and the recession started in full form in March of 2021. But reverse repos have allowed the fed to inject two trillion into equity markets behind the scenes and without the directed action that requires fund managers to rebalance.

I like how you only quoted the half of the definition that supports your personal definition of “woke.”

Here’s the first half!
“Beginning in the 2010s, it came to encompass a broader awareness of social inequalities such as sexism, and has also been used as shorthand”

Rather than posting non-sense you could admit that there is a difference between “has been used as shorthand…” is different from “The definition of this word is: shorthand for…”

It’s kind of odd, it’s almost as if there is a group of right wing culture warriors that insist that anyone that doesn’t use their artificially constructed pejorative the same way that they do is part of some vast gay communist conspiracy.
I wonder if using 64-bit integers all over the place would alleviate this a bit. If your integers represent some real quantities (sizes of objects, etc), the sizes have to be unrealistically huge to trigger an overflow. If your integer is a counter, it would take years to increment it in a tight loop to achieve an overflow.

The cost of operating on 64-bit integers is about the same as operating on 32-bit integers on most modern CPUs (except maybe 32-bit cores in MCUs).

> > The goal is to be as unbiased as possible given that limited amount of effort.

> So you are therefore biased

Yes, but significantly less than before. Which is the goal.

> You have a finite set of resources, and you are choosing to allocate them in a particular way. That is bias.

That "particular way" is to give more weight to opinions that are under-represented in your training data and give less weight to opinions that are over-represented in the training data.

This is called "removing bias".

> You could equally choose to allocate those resources away from the majority, which would also be bias. Any time a human is making an editorial decision about how to allocate resources, you are introducing bias.

So, in your view, bias can only increase, it can never decrease?

Even if that were so, you are admitting that not all data is equally biased.
Which means that it is possible to feed less biased data to an AI.

And the goal is not for "a human" to make an editorial decision. It's for the opinions used for the training data to be representative of all people, weighed according to (a representative sample of) these people (so you wouldn't be giving more weigh to the opinions of one person versus another).

These layoffs are precisely intended to suppress tech employee wages, which like any other sector, have remained fairly stagnant for the last 5 years.

> collusion is not needed

It's not explicitly needed. However, rest assured there's a mutual understanding among all big tech executives that the next few years are going to be incredibly profitable for them.

Think about it. They can do layoffs as many times as they want. This forces lower wages. They can still use inflation, the pandemic, the recession, and war as an excuse to keep raises low (or non existent). They can keep current employees in fear for several years.

It'll be interesting to see the progress of Nio over the next few years. In China they have gone all in on battery swapping. Currently (mid 2022 youtube video) swaps take around 10 minutes. Nio claims gen 2 (or 3?) swap stations will cut that to about 3 minutes.

In Europe (mainly Norway atm) Nio offers the choice of owning or leasing/swapping the battery, and an overwhelming majority of customers choose to lease. This in luxury cars. (Naturally they call it Baas, battery as a service.)

That's the "good cop" play. In the meantime, things that would have allowed wages and salaries to keep up with inflation, have been ignored in favor of international trade agreements, outsourcing and importation of cheap labor. It's not that the above have no place in an economy, they do, but they need to be measured and they need to ensure the benefit is to the American worker, not American corps or foreign labor.
