Except it's not. Today, Windows wants you to use their media creation tool, which is more than just a "download bootable image and flash it to removable media" tool, but also actively slipstreams the latest OS patches to the install media. It ensures you get the latest OS on install with all the needed security patches.

Having a similar tool to automate not only bootable media creation, but also selection of distro and acquisition of install media would indeed make installation more simple. Unetbootin used to do that (still might? Haven't used it in ages), but IIRC, keeping the list of distros up to date was a challenge.
MRSA is already a weaponized MRSA.

I don't think people who don't spend a lot of time in hospitals have any idea how quickly a person's fortune can change. They're still the best place to care for the sick, but they're also hotbeds of disease because, hey, we keep all the sick people there.

One overlooked sanitization, one visit from a relative who touched the wrong thing on the way to your room, one spot of genetic bad luck that makes you particularly susceptible to infections you'd be likeliest to encounter in a hospital, one never-diagnosed allergic response... That's all she wrote. Doesn't matter over-much how healthy you were before because "on your back struggling to breathe for days on end in a strange environment" is a wildly different environment to "enjoying the fresh mountain air close to home."
To whatever extent something like this can be done locally, I'd probably pay a monthly sub for it if its good enough. But I wouldn't want any of that leaving my machine, we get tracked and profiled enough as-is imo.
Java, and even python are used in HFT, along with many other languages. Depending on the task they can work well or poorly.

C++ has a good position in this space though because often you come down to a if(something){doTrade();} and java's optimizer has figured out that this if is normally false and so you pay a CPU branch missprediction penalty, while C++ had optimized for the true case and so when it matters is faster.

No matter what the language used, HFT has some different programming styles vs normal.
More likely it's something parents or friends taught him.
I don't think people label plants as inherently alternative medicine. Plenty of non-alternative (aka regular) medicine was originally derived from plants (e.g. aspirin).

Things typically become labeled "medicine" when they've been work and have been tested. "Alternative" kind of works like a logical `not`, so applying de Morgan's law that implies that alternative medicine either has not been tested or doesn't work.

Obviously that's a kind of reductive take, but I don't think it's fair to say that scientists label all things from "plants" as "alternative".
Not if you bought a couple decades ago or inherited from your parents.
Presumably their investments would inflate as well. Unfortunately, the asset owning class is protected by inflation in that way.

It's the lower / middle class who have cash savings that get wrecked by inflation.
Bullshit, I’ve seen far more disinformation in “free” online places than even Fox News as of late.
>hypothesis that is inconsistent with experiment must be rejected

Not really, this is a conclusion that is drawn only by looking at the big names and highlights throughout the scientific history. In practice the experiments in themselves is flawed, so if the hypothesis is not confirmed through experiments the experiment design need to be fixed. Other times they are confirmed where the experiments also was flawed.

Also there are a lot of hypothesis we cannot reject, but we still build scientific work upon them.
The evidence is tweets.
> proportional to the value they add

How do you quantify, or even loosely, determine that?

What about ancillary workers who might not add any significant value to the (e.g. office janitor or HR) but supposing there’s a serious janitor or HR shortage then the org will still have to pay enough to attract someone, but what they pay is outside of their control and unrelated to the actual value to the company. And even in a worker-owned cooperative there’s still going to be in-groups and out-groups, and the in-group is incentivised to pay the out-group as little as possible as to maximise their own returns.
well, whoever would make this type of "executive decision" should be prepared to go to jail for a really long time next to really violent bad people. Multinational execs did not show propensity for these types of decisions (the propensity at C-Suite is to pay a fine and move on....) So prior knowledge makes me think these are accidents.

It would be really good to get as much information about these deaths (and closure for the families)

PS. for arguments sake, if another Boeing whistleblower would get a sudden disease I would be more inclined to think that maybe there is some chemical/mechanical exposure in the Boeing / Spirit factories rather then some Michael Clayton-type action...
The age of simply throwing data over the wall and expecting the SOC to work efficiently and effectively is over. The future of SOC architectures will be quite different with more loosely coupled pieces that work together well. Data becomes the king and AI approaches assist in making the SOCs leverage this data fully to secure enterprises efficiently.

As the tech landscape evolves and the data tsunami continues, it's clear that existing SOC platforms don't scale, and a modern SOC architecture is the need of the hour.
I'm simply pointing out the relative frequency of these incidents, that's all.

> If we had an organization responsible and capable of preventing MRSA deaths

MRSA is known for spreading in hospital settings. Hospitals are supposed to prevent this from happening, but it is hard.
I just realized we had this same conversation on HN before. IIRC I said last time and I'll repeat: if you say that you set up 15K GPUs with 2 people, and I ask who did the wiring, and you say an external company came in and spent a few weeks wiring the network for you, then you can't say that 2 people set up 15K GPUs. You're trying to externalize real costs (both time and money).

I understand your dream (having pursued similar ideas) but I think you have ot be realistic about the effort required, especially when you add picky customers to the mix.

If you stop being in the replace mindset, you could see the following happen...

1. Patient gets tests / imaging

2. Doctor does analysis

3. AI double checks

4. Doctor writes final report

5. AI communicates with more empathy

If you haven't had a dbag doctor, you might not know how an AI might be preferable to that experience
Sure, that's a different conversation though. That's like talking about a new brand of beer and then saying "I don't like this beer because there are so many alcohol related deaths and accidents, this will only contribute to more" - while true and you may have a point, there is still a separate conversation where people appreciate beer and engage in connoisseurship etc.

To talk about what entertainment, art, music, etc. might come out of AI I think is a conversation worth having for anyone into those things, either producing or consuming, macro ethics aside.

Yea there are cottage industries on top of cottage industries in the medical insurance space. First you have the first order: DR supplies service, bills patient’s insurance, then you have the hospitals who outsource all billing, those outsourced companies outsource the claims management, which outsource the claims response, and the exact same structure exists on the insurance company side. And I’ve simplified a lot… there are coder companies, insurance coder consultants, etc. it’s totally wild.

Revup does a good job of integrating tree-of-PRs workflows into GitHub, and is also designed so that one developer can use it in a way mostly transparent to reviewers or their colleagues. I _think_ that Revup + Reviewable.io would match much of the capabilities listed in the linked talk.

You can refrain from giving Boeing the benefit of the doubt here and still come to the conclusion "It's not weird that someone didn't recover from a respiratory infection during flu season."

Im guilty of this, just a few years ago I started researching it even though its been a problem for decades or more.

The news media puts wars on the front page and the debt on the back page if its reported at all.

In my opinion this one of the biggest existential threats to America and the main stream media isnt even raising any red flags.
It does factor in inflation. I am using a 3% safe withdraw rate in my calculations which is where I withdraw 3% of my portfolio balance in year one, then in year two I take that original amount and adjust it up by inflation, and continue doing this each year. So it will maintain the same buying power.
That's not possible, there's too much money to be made from the credulous.
B&H seems to be pretty focused on techy things (and cameras of all sorts have always been techy things, though that corner of the tech market that has been declining for a long time now).

When they branch out to selling everything including fresh vegetables, motor oil, and computing services, then maybe they might be more comparable to the overgrown bookstore.
>Now, there are two possibilities: one is that I was wrong, that it has merit, and if I go back and revisit it that I will see now what I missed then. The second possibility is that I got it right back in the day.

A third option is that the merit of someones worked cannot be judged from whether one person find it compelling or not.
Todoist can duplicate a project, which appears to solve this problem.
Yeah, his family said "He was suffering from PTSD and anxiety attacks as a result of being subjected to the hostile work environment at Boeing which we believe led to his death". As much as a conspiracy for fear of being next could come into it I'd have to believe it'd be more than a lone and anonymous friend of the family that would speak out if confided with this info.

Between that and the 30 some whistleblowers in the last 5 years that two died close to one another isn't all that damning.

Pneumonia is just a lung infection, so I imagine there's a number of ways you can make a person to unknowingly inhale something.

However, it looks way too complicated for a plot. There are many tried and proven methods of getting rid of people. Spooks aren't actually that good in hiding their works - we know about a lot of cases where people were assassinated (of course, we may also not know about many, but I think we have a good sample). Among those, we have a lot of ways it can be done - shootings, stabbings, explosions, poisons, drownings, falling from heights, whatever - but I can't remember any case where a biological agent were used. And thinking about it - biological agents are hard to produce, hard to handle, unstable, unpredictable in use, can't be properly targeted, why would anyone use that instead of dozens of easier and more common methods?

So while it does look suspicious on its face, I'd have hard time believing it's an example of an assassination.
>But I may have missed any further developments to actually verify that his family had been told something similar.

You have not, his family thinks he killed himself, but blames Boeing for making his life awful for several years.
This is the commercial arm of Boeing, but not even that bit a spun off bit of Boeing that just builds airframes called Spirit.

Boeing does do highly classified things in other branches of the company that have nothing to do with any of this, even then nobody would be assassinated for the most egregious espionage outside of some absurd movie plot scenario. Spies go to prison if they’re not recruited for counterintelligence.

Influenza and MRSA would be very odd assassination tools.

No, not really. OA has been reticent to publish any real details about what RLHF GPT-4 and later models go through; while some models have been much more open, those weren't used in OP.

And it's unclear how easily you can interrogate their code/data to understand exactly how the RLHF goes wrong here - it seems unlikely that there are all that many raters rewarding conversations with heads rather than tails in hypothetical coinflips, so it's probably a more subtle issue of entropy collapse. (It's not that easy to understand why DL stuff does the stuff it does, and it's even more true that when it comes to RL stuff, it's much easier to observe outcomes than to understand how exactly the RL process yielded that outcome.)

So, we can see the effects before/after very clear in the OA Figure 8 graph in https://arxiv.org/pdf/2303.08774.pdf#page=12&org=openai on calibration, but I dunno if even they could tell you what exactly about the raters or PPO hyperparameters or whatever causes that.
> A Few Good Zeroes: In Q1 2024, three drive models had zero failures

They go on to list 3 Seagate models that share one common factor: Sharply lower drive counts. Backblaze had a lot fewer of these drives.

All of their <5 failures are from low quantity drives.

I have confidence in the rest of their report - but not with the inference that those 3 Seagate models are more reliable.
That's how the thread dismissed the last one.
The author's circular argument is correct. C++ had long noted this - which is why they are unwilling to break ABI despite many improvements that would be possible if they would. They know that a stable language is one of their largest selling points. (see phython 3, perl 6).

I agree this isn't much to add, but many people fail to realize this argument and so it is important.

I kinda buy it. If you go back to Freud, he describes how impulses and desires are repressed and sublimated while the mind is functioning normally.

Tourette's is an example of the barrier between impulse and physical action being weakened.

Schizophrenia can be seen as the weakening of the barrier between impulse and belief.

Personally, I think it's more likely that there was a collection of oral stories passed down by healthy people, each illustrating a specific real-life lesson, that got collected by one guy and stitched together. In the same way modern showrunners borrow scenes and references.

When is the last time someone from the C suite and had a good relationship to the government/defense sector went to big boy jail? I can’t think of an occasion, even though I can think of many deadly events where it’s very well arguable there should be criminal liability
My first thought is "WTF!" But my second is this: every single person who's ever criticized Boeing is going to die (eventually). With so many people in a position to notice and speak out about Boeing's issues, it isn't terribly surprising that a few deaths have occurred.

Combine that with one headline-grabbing (apparent) suicide during a deposition, and we're now all primed to notice these deaths and attribute intent.
And the (hypothetical) effect on the value of a company in the (hypothetical) event they are proven to assassinate critics is . . . what exactly?
> Qualcomm’s OpenCL runtime would unpredictably crash if a kernel ran for too long. Crash probability goes down if kernel runtimes stay well below a second. That’s why some of the graphs above are noisy. I wonder if Qualcomm’s Adreno 6xx command processor changes had something to do with it. They added a low priority compute queue, but I’m guessing OpenCL stuff doesn’t run as “low priority” because the screen will freeze if a kernel does manage to run for a while.

Very few (if any) mobile class GPUs actually support true preemption. Rather they are more like pseudo-cooperative, with suspend checks in between work units on the GPU. Desktop GPUs only got instruction-level preemption not that long ago - Nvidia first added it with Pascal (GTX 10xx), so mobile still lacking this isn't surprising. It's a big cost to pay for a relatively niche problem.

So the "crash" was probably a watchdog firing for failing to make forward progress at a sufficient rate and also why the screen would freeze. The smallest work unit was "too big" and so it never would yield to other tasks.
