Windows 11: Addio ai Riavvii Frequenti per gli Aggiornamenti di Sicurezza? Una Potenziale Rivoluzione in Arrivo

Se c'è qualcosa che può far storcere il naso a qualsiasi utente di Windows, è sicuramente il fastidioso rituale dei riavvii frequenti richiesti per l'installazione degli aggiornamenti di sicurezza.

Tuttavia, c'è una luce in fondo al tunnel: Microsoft potrebbe finalmente risolvere questo problema su Windows 11.

Secondo quanto riportato da Windows Central, Microsoft sta lavorando per portare la funzionalità Hot Patching dai server Windows alle edizioni consumer di Windows 11. Ma cosa significa questo? In poche parole, il Hot Patching consente di applicare patch al codice in memoria dei processi in esecuzione senza la necessità di riavviare il sistema operativo.

In altre parole, sarà possibile installare specifici aggiornamenti senza interrompere il lavoro in corso. Sebbene non sia una novità per Windows Server, è la prima volta che Microsoft testa questa funzionalità nel canale Dev per gli utenti regolari.

L'idea è quella di consentire agli utenti di installare gli aggiornamenti mensili di sicurezza senza interrompere il flusso di lavoro e senza richiedere un riavvio del sistema.

Tuttavia, sarà ancora necessario riavviare il sistema ogni pochi mesi per installare un "aggiornamento di base" per le versioni successive e i successivi mesi senza riavvii. Un riavvio del sistema una volta ogni tre mesi suona molto più accettabile rispetto a farlo ogni mese.

Secondo Windows Central, Microsoft intende includere il Hot Patching nelle edizioni consumer nella versione 24H2, prevista per la seconda metà di quest'anno sotto il nome "Windows 11 2024 Update".

Tuttavia, sembra che la funzionalità sarà disponibile solo per sistemi x86 inizialmente, mentre i dispositivi ARM64 otterranno il Hot Patching nel 2025. Al momento, non ci sono informazioni su quali SKU riceveranno gli aggiornamenti senza riavvii.

Naturalmente, poiché il rapporto non è confermato, è consigliabile prendere queste informazioni con un pizzico di sale.

Nel frattempo, se desideri accelerare l'installazione degli aggiornamenti su Windows, potresti voler dare un'occhiata ad alcuni suggerimenti utili. Un nostro piccolo esperimento ha recentemente dimostrato che un semplice trucco può ridurre i tempi di installazione fino al 18%.

Sembra che una nuova era di aggiornamenti senza stress potrebbe essere all'orizzonte per gli utenti di Windows 11. Resta solo da vedere se questa promessa si materializzerà e se riuscirà davvero a trasformare la frustrazione dei riavvii frequenti in un ricordo del passato.

I don't know, a 5% CD with FDIC insurance may actually be lower risk, as US debt credit rating has been downgraded to AA+ from AAA recently.
The longer he is within US jurisdiction, the more likely he will be caught breaking US laws. There is a reason he stays far away, lives in a country with no US extradition treaty and never intentionally travels to the US, home of the world's most important financial centre. One can only guess what that might be.
AI Scientist here. Learn about LLMs .. the tools are starting to get there .. it looks like API calls. Super easy to get into. Check out ChatGPT's APIs to start.

I am getting some second thoughts about applications that will truly stick and generate value (ala iphone). My gut says same as yours but I have some skepticism as I can see the problems with the tech preventing the hockey stick.
Image Search (not just google, try this on yandex.com for instance) does not look for images that match what you query.

It returns the images from web pages that are good matches for your query. There's no guarantee that the images on those top results will represent your query.
No, those point are not about RTO, just find a co-working space near your home, with a 5 minutes bike commute (mine is 3 minute away), and with luck it'll also include good food and a gym (bouldering gym in my case).

Ok, so test case generation has been around a while and now that it is working, where is the GitHub Action?
I'm the only engineer for my product. The feedback from the customers is very positive. They like most of the parts. Yet there are also many problems and annoying issues. They exist because extremely complex multidimensional issues. Majority of those issues could be solved by heroic use of mental and physical energy. Yet the cost/benefit for my life and mental health goes too high.
>using private, internal LLMs that are probably fine-tuned with Meta’s codebase.

what does this mean ? i would have thought they would simply use codellama. is there any research around privately finetuned code llms ? why would they be better ?
This is how I feel too. For me, tests usually end up being a concrete specification which I can execute.

Getting LLMs to write tests is like getting LLMs to write my spec.

If you think about it, GPT is kinda the first time google has ever really been seriously challenged in their core business and I'm honestly wondering if it's causing the company to go a bit insane.

Feels like the pressure to maintain the stock price and not rock the boat too much is meeting the kind of existential dread that GPT is going to eat their lunch and maybe sooner than later.

Maybe this is some of that madness leaking out? Because I've never seen them fuck up search like this before, it feels inexplicable to me that google would let this reach production.
Eh, that isn't quite true because determining the quality of the "result" is biased by our opinion of its author and, equally important, how they present their results. Race and sexual orientation impact your speech patterns and habits which you very much are judged on.

Additionally, when a woman works with a man on something often the woman's contribution is assumed to be less than the man's contribution if they're listed as co-authors - I would be very surprised if this weren't the case beyond academia but also in artifacts like design docs.

The debate then is should an AI lie about reality if we tell it to? (Even and particularly when the lie is a good thing)

I think most people on earth would say yes. It's that what it should say is up for debate.

That all AI will lie is probably inevitable because they are made by humans.
Ye this "efficiency" you are forced into is so annoying.

It is like trying to get a match on Tinder. Just auto-swipe right and see who answers. Useless to try to "filter" in advance.

From the employer's perspective it has to be annoying too, since many pf the applicants arent really interested.

A local advantage of not having a first-past-the-post system is that centre-right and centre-left parties not only exist but taken together are broadly representative, and hence do spend much of their time working together to find solutions which have been crafted less to be sound-bitey and more to be acceptable to wide swaths of the populace.
Reading this. Me -> Instant horny

Google has stopped to be very useful without precise searches. They give you what they think you should read, not what you ask for. I more and more use Copilot for searching the web. A few questions and a request for a list let me quickly decide where to go.

? If anything, working at that scale -- with far more points of interaction, across a colossally higher surface area -- makes the problem of maintaining general quality far harder. The amount of money and headcount available to throw at it is almost completely irrelevant, because there are no economies of scale to be found in this problem space.

GPs point, I think, is where are these supposed small/medium tech companies with such dedication and success in maintaining quality? This seems like a pretty universal problem across all tech, not anything specific to "big" tech. I'm not sure where you're finding these supposed "high quality" startup products; their offerings are almost universally even worse IME.

Moreover, the personal jab at the end is quite confusing. You might disagree with GPs point, but the "caliber" of their comment seems quite decent, and certainly far higher than your own.
This kind of thinking is sadly lost on many. I have seen copious amounts of nonsensical tests slapped full of hard-wired mocks and any change in the functionality would break hundreds of tests. In such a scenario an LLM might be the bandaid many are looking for. Then again, the value of such tests is questionable.
Yeah, the problem is that you have to use Windows then.

>Think laws, not tools

But laws are tools, and the esthetical intellectual elegance is an epiphenomenal bonus or a mean to keep human psychism motivated to keep its focus away from all the other attention sinks that life throw at it.

And that apply for both law in judiciary and sciences parlances.
I got some expensive item in the mail once, that I didn't order, and as I took it out of the mail box, a young man approached and said it was actually his and took the parcel.
I was going to say, in 2023 I looked around and for Clojure at least Conjure seemed like the best option.

Unfortunately, in the table linked above the CL support in Conjure is so-so. I'm curious what people use for CL or if it's still slimv/vlime.

I did a write up configuring Conjure with neovim here if that's something that's appealing:

Since I always struggle with the ton of subgenres, some lyric based clustering is as good as anything to separate genres.

g051051? The guy who keeps trying to post porn all over this site? I can't believe you've got the guts to go posting here. I've told everyone about your disgusting behavior.

What's that? You never did that? Well, for just $5/month you can sign up for my monitoring service and we can investigate your claims. In the mean time, I'm going to keep warning everyone about your behavior.

I feel like most people would consider the above behavior unacceptable, but it's okay because I'm a big company dedicated to stopping perverts like you.

As a fellow Bulgarian from the 80s and 90s myself, and now a part of the Gemma team, I’d say Austin, Jan, and team very much live up to the ethos of hackers I'd meet on BBSes back then. :)

They are driven entirely by their own curiosity and a desire to push computers to the limit. Combined with their admirable low-level programming skills, you get a very solid, fun codebase, that they are sharing with the world.

lol yeah a little. A) it said something very odd sounding like “Toyota university of Chicago”, which wtf why does Toyota have a university, and B) most labs would be hesitant to publish a paper with an extraneous clause in the title just to reference an absurd cartoon
Admins not killing old accounts is a security hole that I'd say 50% of companies I worked with had/have.

I can still log into the google workspace, slack, check out confidential documents on drive (not because of transparency, but because they dont know how to share properly). I can check out what is happening in nearly any of their projects by peeking at the channel and if I want to know more, I just take a look at the documents, including their pitches. If I poked for a bit, I could probably also find API keys and DB credentials.

These people work for banks, insurances, national televisions, hotels, airlines and more.

If I was a bad actor, it would be incredibly easy to cause damage to both them and the clients or do insider trading based on the upcoming project data.

But it seems like half of these places just don't care about security - even when contacted, admins/responsible people just flat out ignored it.

And then we wonder how breaches happen.
This is my experience, unless I try to make the contract of the thing simple to test via property testing. Then, writing tests often becomes basically an exercise in writing down the contract in a succinct way.

Sadly, this is a rare approach, so if you cooperate with others it's hard to use it.
The metric might also be straight unreliable, either via people filing false applications to make their own look more respectable, or from LinkedIn lying about the metric to give the appearance of value added.

"What's the TL;DR on that Quantune device?"

Interesting concept. QCL with photoacoustic detection.

"Does it achieve a new level of noninvasive accuracy?"

I think so.
"some lyric based clustering is as good as anything to separate genres"

I think melody and rhythm are kind of important, too (otherwise a minstrels verbal recitation could count as power metal). But it definitely is a good metric.
While I do have a lot of fun coding, I can't say I've ever had this experience at a paid job. Maybe if I had the opportunity to write open-source software but that seems like rather a niche career path at this point.
Limit usable characters, and just literally check the page doesn't resolve already before allowing the change. Customers will never be locked out and characters can't impersonate others.

If you want to allow some symbols you can either whitelist or check if usernames are an appropriate levenshtein distance away from core names (like say slackbot) and either ban such things or flag to a human "hey this could be an issue".

It's fundamentally hard to stop everything, but it's not hard to stop the biggest issues.
>One could sense how far they are from product culture was by looking at their senior Product, Engg, Design staff, when they could have hired anyone from the market.

Can you explain?

The core Byjus product, the app, was far more polished than its competition in EdTech. They started off as a product for the Indian market, and literally trounced their competition in the early stages (before they got VC addicted).

>Making youtube video with thoughtful animation etc. however good is not tech product building, it is content creation.

And here I realize that you are barely familiar with Byjus. Because if you were, you would have known that they relied on lecture videos by instructors, mostly Byju himself, and not on animations and glitter. When Byjus started, there was no app or internet tool for coaching for competitive examinations, only expensive coaching institutes. Byju's free YouTube videos were a handy tool for diligent students without resources. When they launched their app, it was basically just the same YouTube lectures mixed with internal lesson quizzes, but that itself was a huge step up for students from the competition who were basically brick and mortar coaching centers (where the guarantee of coaching was a big question mark).

They began failing when they, funded by VC, began overpricing their product (which lacked an in person component, unlike the status quo) and marketing aggressively in all media, in search of mega valuations. Even then, they would have succeeded in a win for investors, if they had IPO'd around the boom period.
Well, you want it to run shutdown don't you?

As someone whose team lost their jobs this week, thank you for this perspective. Brightest bunch I ever worked with, and a way too big part of my identity.
Honestly one of the best episodes of TV I’ve seen, simply because it challenged one of my core beliefs. I’ve always struggled with a poor memory and I’ve tried all kinds of systems to improve retention and recall. This episode challenged the benefits of remembering everything pretty well and made me reconsider.
The fact that slurs and grouping must be appended after the note hasn't always been so. I have been a user since its first versions, and at the beginning you would write a legato scale like this:

(c d e f g a b c)

which indeed looks more natural because resembles the way parentheses are used in mathematics and programming.

If I remember correctly, the change happened ~20 years ago because it made the notation more consistent: everything related to the note happens after the note name (durations, staccato, marcato, slurs, etc.). I remember that it took me several months to get acquainted with the new syntax.
Surely folks aren't generally so unimaginative they think the only two options are "shitty" and "shittier".

Anyway, given our massive encarceration rate and our love of solitary confinement, being "disappeared" is not out of the question. Hell, Georgia is trying to prosecute protestors with RICO charges. The federal government itself makes no effort to hide the fact that it salivates over punishing Snowden for publicly embarrassing them. The idea that we have some sort of special immunity to politically-oriented violence from the state is fairly naïve. (Not to mention the fact that the rest of American society will absolutely punish you for your political views if you're outspoken in the wrong context or have the wrong opinion—god forbid you point out how useless voting is, even if it has non-zero value.)

I think making the post look like a pimped Pakistani truck was much of the lure.

Making a number go from 4 to 5 probably does not have the same lure for the whales.
Hmm...it wasn't an ISO standard, but the standard was freely available both as a download from the web-site and as a book.

My printed copy (version 1.4) is from 2001, and that's a later version, I definitely had earlier, much slimmer books.

The 1.0 PDF reference on Adobe's web-site has a Copyright of 1993 and says "First Printing, June 1993".

And of course there were multiple unlicensed implementations. Famously, Apple switched from Display Postscript in Rhapsody and Mac OS X Server to Quartz and PDF in Mac OS X to remove the DPS licensing costs.

Note that this requires giving the plugin permissions to read and write to all pages you visit. Browser extensions are routinely compromised by bad actors to steal banking passwords or bitcoin wallet keys.

I use tampermonkey, but I have it restricted to just one domain, which it complains about every time chrome is restarted.
I used Shoes two (edit: three according to git) years ago to build a small software[1]. At the time there was a version 4 ongoing heavy development based on top of JRuby but I think it’s in the same state.
The version 3.3 listed here has been officially abandoned by the sole developer. At the time they wrote a blog article about stopping the project but the blog is not available anymore (it’s the link in the description of the project [2]).

Already two years ago shoes 3.3 was crashing a lot unexpectedly so I wouldn’t recommend using it for anything serious.
But if you want to access the documentation online I made a small website for that [3]. The official documentation is only available in the executable which isn’t great to browse.

> Like building a product so well made that it makes people say “I’ve searched for 15 years for this product”;

The fact that software is a "product" and not a "collective resource" tends to put a damper on that enthusiasm. After two decades in the industry it's abundantly clear we're condemned to rewrite the same software over and over again in the name of profits—a colossal waste of humanity's efforts.
Yes. 8PB per 1U. Or Nearly 1 Exabyte in 3 Racks. Unfortunately the 256TB was really a Tech demo only. Last time I checked even the 64TB EDSFF wasn't selling due most companies thinking 32TB was the sweet spot for redundancy, safety etc.
