is it just me, or 101 is 2-3x more dangerous than 280 per this map in Bay Area? definitely more density of pins on 101 (you have to click to the center in between these 2 highways to see pins on both). It makes sense, since 280 is a bit less loaded, and built better, has full shoulder in most places.

The split to 85 going south on 101 is a very bad place - 7 pins very close together.
If it was unexpected, add in “unexpected”.
Other takeaways:

- do not put critical infrastructure online

- do not push updates that work around the update schedule

- do not push such updates to all machines at once

- do not skip testing and QA, relevant to the number and kind of the machines affected

Even one of these would have massively improved the situation, even with a kernel-level driver written in an unsafe language.

Thanks, I know that history, and nobody is denying the influence. The broader context are your claims about "a lot of commonalities here". There are commonalities, but they are shallow.
You're missing an important third group: people making money pushing these beliefs. Themselves, they likely don't believe it - but they know this type of "content" creates strong "engagement".
I had a similar, awful curiosity. Looked up the death of a friend. All of the details I ever learned (speeding, ran off road, jumped curb, hit a tree) are listed accurately here.

The claim that only 1 out of 5 deaths is even recorded on this map is sobering.
Strong work. Looking forward to / dreading the update with the 2023 and 2024 data that I've been more involved with. RIP to all of the young people in their late teens and 20s who made the mistake of using a road for anything other than driving. RIP to the older folks who got smoked just crossing the street. RIP to everyone else who didn't deserve to go. Hopefully there is traffic calming and reliable, frequent public transit in heaven.

Unfortunately this dataset doesn't include the, probably more frequent, severe TBIs. Surely wouldn't take many patients for the cost of a hemicraniectomy, 2 week neuro-ICU stay, trach/peg, and long term acute care stay to equal the cost of a few measures to slow drivers down. Not to mention lost earning/tax potential. Too bad it's not from the same budget.

I'm sure you mean well, but it's not going to be most programmers or devs who will need to apply a fix for this, it'll be sysadmin/network/SREs who'll be doing this and they're not going to download Go to build this random github code repo.

This was my first thought too... You can already see in the examples in the article that the model understands that photos of people tend to have reflections of lights in their eyes. It understands that both eyes tend to reflect the same number of lights. It's already modelling that there's a similarity relationship between these areas of the image (nobody has dichromia in these pictures).

I can remember when it was hard for image generators to model the 3d shape of a table, now they can very easily display 4 very convincing legs.

I don't have technical expertise here but it just seems like a natural starting point to assume that this reflection thing is a transient shortcomimg.

There's certainly information in there, I agree, but it's badly delivered.

We're more than 20 years past Douglas' untimely death. People writing new pieces on him now need to be writing much more appealingly or, if they're only going to deliver information without any flair, boil it down to just that, the newer or lesser known information they are presenting without all the detail that most even moderate fans of Adams are already familiar with.

In Hamlet, Polonious declaims that :

“Since brevity is the soul of wit / And tediousness the limbs and outward flourishes, I will be brief…”

and then goes on and on at pompous length. Adams truly understood that brevity was the soul of wit and showed it in his writing. The author of this blog piece doesn't.

We moved over to garage after running minio in production with about ~2PB after about 2 years of headache. Minio does not deal with small files very well, rightfully so, since they don't keep a separate index of the files other than straight on disk. While ssd's can mask this issue to some extent, spinning rust, not so much. And speaking of replication, this just works... Minio's approach even with synchronous mode turned on, tends to fall behind, and again small files will pretty much break it all together.

We saw about 20-30x performance gain overall after moving to garage for our specific use case.
All of the critical equipment is. But we need internet access on computers, or at the very least Epic does to pull records from other hospitals.

I haven't looked too deeply into how EDRs are implemented on Linux and macOS, but I'd wager that CrowdStrike goes the way of its own bit of code in kernel space to overcome shortcomings in how ETW telemetry works. It was never meant for security applications; ETW's purpose was to aid in software diagnostics.

In particular, while it looks like macOS's Endpoint Security API[0] and Linux 4.x's inclusion of eBPF are both reasonably robust (if the literature I'm skimming is to be believed), ETW is still pretty susceptible to blinding attacks.

(But what about PatchGuard? Well, as it turns out, that doesn't seem to keep someone from loading their own driver and monkey patching whatever WMI_LOGGER_CONTEXT structures they can find in order to call ControlTraceW() with ControlCode = EVENT_TRACE_CONTROL_STOP against them.)

well, in another sense, Windows is certainly to blame partially. Several technical solutions have been put forward here and in other places, that would've at least limited the blast radius of a faulty update/driver/critical path.
Windows didn't implement any of those. Presumably by choice and for good reasons: A tradeoff would be that software like crowdstrike is more limited in protecting you. So the Windows devs deliberately opted for this risk.

Or they never considered it, which is far worse.
Can we filter out that noise?
Just tap the map once on mobile to refresh it seems.
This is exactly what Delphi does for desktop Windows applications - arranging components on a "form", tweaking their properties (props) through the ObjectInspector, assigning event listeners and quickly navigating to their handler functions in the code.

I have a blog. Been writing on that for 7 years. Should I care if AI in search is taking away traffic? If yes, why? I’m not writing for traffic. I write because I enjoy doing it. People find my way mostly thanks to other people linking to my site. And a solid % of traffic comes from RSS anyway.

I think giving up on the web because of AI is the wrong move. You should still create and focus more on connecting with others directly, when online. Get in touch, write emails, sign guestbooks.

I’m personally having great exchanges daily with people from all over via email and that won’t stop because of stupid ChatGPT or whatever.

And don’t get me wrong, it’s awesome to spend more time offline so if you want to do down that path it’s great.

I just don’t think it’s the only solution.
You're living on the bigoted side by publicly posting false and ignorant hate speech against trans people, and the bigoted side is most extremely and vitriolically the Republican side, who has made misogyny and transphobia and racism part of their platform, so don't pretend you're in the greyzone politically. You're a bigot, and you chose to make your bigotry public and political. And no matter what side you claim to be on, and especially if you claim to not be on either side, you absolutely deserve to be called out for your bigotry, since you decided to make it irrefutable objective public knowledge that you're a bigot, in your very own words that you posted to Hacker News, of your own free will. You've already been called out by dang and asked to stop, and I'm calling you out and asking you to stop again. So stop feeling sorry for yourself and trying to play the victim.

> For some reason the webserver serving virus definition files to all endpoints started serving malformed virus definition files, sometimes they were all blank or filled with random bytes

That sounds like some virus protection on the server was stopping the reads from disk, and instead of throwing an error it was providing 0's for the output data instead.

It'll be funny if there's actually some antivirus package that caused it. ;)

Here in Aotearoa we have been doing this for thirty years.
Someone on X has shared the kernel stack trace of the crash

The faulting driver in the stack trace was csagent.sys.

Now, Crowdstrike has got two mini filter drivers registered with Microsoft (for signing and allocation of altitude).

1) csagent.sys - Altitude (321410)
This altitude falls within the range for Anti-Virus filters.
2) im.sys - Altitude (80680)
This altitude falls within the range for access control drivers.

So, it is clear that the driver causing the crash is their AV driver, csagent.sys.

The workaround that CrowdStrike has given is to delete C-00000291*.sys files from the directory:
C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\CrowdStrike\

These files being suggested to be deleted are not driver files (.sys files) but probably some kind of virus definition database files.

The reason they name these files with the .sys extension is possibly to leverage Windows System File Checker tool's ability to restore back deleted system files.

This seems to be a workaround and the actual fix might be done in their driver, csagent.sys and the fix will be rolled out later.

Anyone having access a Falcon endpoint might see a change in the timestamp of the driver csagent.sys when the actual fix rolls out.

it is humbling (and lowkey reassuring?) to know that not all large players use the absolute cutting edge approaches in their workflow.

it seems and i hope that after all is said and done there is no major life-threatening consequence of this debacle. at the same time, heart goes out to the dev who pushed the troubling code. very easy to point at them or the team's processes, but we need to introspect at our own setup and also recognize that not all of us work in crucial systems like this.

Why are you seething about this from the other side of the world?

You are presumably an intelligent person, but you, and everyone else that could, left your home country for economic opportunities elsewhere. Now, your home country is administrated and governed by the people without the opportunity to leave and you are on the other side of the world.

I think it is extremely weird to see the people with the best opportunity to reshape their country leave and then from overseas complain about the politics in that country.
