My understanding is that it's screwed up for multiple vendors and chipsets. The boards might say they support it, but there are some updates saying it's not. It seemed extremely hard to find any that actually supported it. It was actually easier to find new Intel boards supporting ECC.
CrowdStrike isn't just an anti-virus/malware solution. It also provides observability into the running processes. It integrates into threat intelligence so you can take hashes of known bad processes and see if it exists across your fleet of devices.

It can isolate devices from a network and only allow the SOC access to investigate.

To be fair, I didn't read it as condescending. This
I understood it as a generic statement ender, like "idk" or "ymmv" or "i guess", i.e. something that you put at the end of a sentence when you don't know what more to say. Maybe it actually is generational?
lol. Never said they should, did I?
This sounds like an ad. What is "assisted 100s of millions of people in many billions of tasks"? Any real world data? If it's generating new random clip art for presentations, sure. If it's making new flavor text based on generic input, sure.

If my question is "what is the circumference of earth", and I run a model with a temperature of 100, will it give me a good result? Will it always give me a good result with a temperature of 0? I don't think so. It's a huge probabilistic model. It is not an oracle. It can be useful for fuzzy tasks for sure, but not for being smart. You might think it's clever because it's generated code for you, but that's probably because you asked it to make something 500 people already made and published on GitHub.

Edit: Just to clarify. Don't want to step on peoples toes. I just feel like we're at the top of a new dotcom/crypto/nft hype boom.

Papers are ridiculously low signal-to-noise when it comes to knowledge. (see https://markusstrasser.org/extracting-knowledge-from-literat... ... but sure, LLMs might have a better extraction rate)

And, importantly if papers become so valuable ... authors will suddenly start to want their cut and will go to the publisher that pays the more. And so on.

It would be amazing if papers would worth that much (as it would mean they can help creating at least that much value downstream), and it would mean there would be a lot of money in writing new papers. (Oh imagine that flood of low quality shit! Oh no, it's almost the same as now! Ehhh.)

Amazon actually steals a lot of open source and repackages it as a “managed AWS service”, they literally deployed managed Airflow as soon as it became popular.

The whole aws reinvent is repackaged whatever open source project is trending, hiding control plane from the user and instead expose it via AWS control plane and charge people per usage instead of per server

I strongly suspect that if this scaled it would have caused an explosion in the number of landlords while also making property even more expensive because now all of a sudden you can turn every PPoR into a rental as well. Absolute nightmare scenario.

The question that isn’t be asked, but should be, is if this idea is so great then why were none of the several prior generations of similar computers successful? To be clear about where my perspective is coming from, I was one of the people doing graph algorithm research on exotic graph processors many years ago and the old Tera machines mentioned in the article are one of my favorite computing architectures of all time. I am predisposed to liking the tech but I also have a realistic view of the tradeoffs.

These architectures were killed by two separate issues. The first is that very few programmers seem to develop an intuitive sense of how to design algorithms and data structures that are efficient on these architectures. Real-world performance is poor because the software is poor. The second, and more permanent state of affairs, is that along the way researchers developed new algorithms and software architectures that run on ordinary CPUs only a little less efficiently, while taking advantage of the faster and much cheaper commodity silicon. Why would you buy exotic silicon when you can call Dell?

There is a community of diehard graph silicon enthusiasts inside the US DoD who continue to fund the development of processors like the one in the article, so we get a new design every few years. And it is cool tech! But if I were building a business around graph processing, I’d use commodity silicon without a second thought. Not that I wouldn’t love to play with one of these new graph computers just to see what they can do.

That is absolutely not true. Even genetic variants from your father that are not inherited by you still influence your chances of survival and how likely you are to pass your genes to an offspring. Imagine your dad has a rare genetic variant, which you don't inherit, that means he is likely to be dead by age 50. Your fitness will be lower as you will lack a father during your childhood.

See this famous study: The nature of nurture: Effects of parental genotypes. Science, 359, 424-428 (2018). doi:10.1126/science.aan6877. The summary literally states:

"Genetic variants in parents may affect the fitness of their offspring, even if the child does not carry the allele. This indirect effect is referred to as genetic nurture. Kong et al. used data from genome-wide association studies of educational attainment to construct polygenic scores for parents that only considered the nontransmitted alleles."
Because Microsoft is responding to "everyone" who are asking it why it is allowing EDR makers to write drivers. Win10+ only load signed drivers, so every driver is approved by Microsoft.

Ask HN: What are your worst pain points when dealing with scientific literature?
My background is mainly in computer science / software engineering, but I've been working with scientists (mainly biologists) for most of my career. One of the biggest areas of friction and frustration I've encountered seems to be around how to effectively extract value from the literature -- whether it be raw data in a form that can be reused, or higher-level knowledge (e.g., how do you consume multiple studies about a given topic and synthesize them into a coherent mental model to inform your own research?).

I'm interested in building tools to improve this, so I'd really appreciate hearing what you all think are the biggest challenges in this area. And if there are existing tools that you consider "secret weapons" for doing better at science, I'd love to hear about those as well.
Not just that, but elite marathon performances (42.2 km) are under 5 minute miles.

Say, 2:10 (130 minutes) over 26.2 miles is a 4:58 mile pace.

The current world record seems to be 2:00:35, which is like a 4:36 mile pace.

Sometimes footage of elite level long distance running events shows fans trying to follow the runners on bicycle. It looks quite astonishing and ridiculous at the same time.

The record separator isn't on people's keyboards, so it's less likely to show up where it's not expected. Also it's less likely to legitimately occur in something like a name, so there are many users of CSVs who can say they will never need to consider data containing a record separator, and they will be right more often than those who never consider data containing a comma.

Of course, the fact that record separators aren't on keyboards is probably why CSVs use commas.

A negative income tax increases your total benefits as you earn more (up to a point), the system that was being described is one where total benefits are decreased as you earn more.
Low level (small city mayors) campaigns tend to be a mess as there's often little public interest and much "vested" interest (concrete curb manufacturers want fat city contracts, etc).

Here we double down on honesty with punishment - campaign donations must be declared (with fines and potential jail if not), advertising is capped (max hours per medium) and tied to a person who vouches for the ad .. and can be held responsible for delibrate untruths, going for the family, etc.

It's similar but perhaps with stronger guiderails .. and like the US voting in "small" local elections isn't mandatory.

Voting in state and federal elections is compulsary - turning up to vote | mailing in a vote is mandatory - it's 100% OK to mail | hand in a blank vote, a pencilled in candidate, a rant against government, a crude drawing of dick and balls, etc.

That sorts out the "but I don't like any of the candidates" crowd and makes them easy to count - it also sorts out the problem of systemic disenfranchisement by making it hard for those who work on voting day, those who have insufficent booths in area, etc. The onus is on the system to ensure that everybody can vote - by mail, with time off, with available locations and short lines, etc.

> The tech worker primadonnas vastly overestimats their own value to the company.

Lots of people have been saying this forever, but the truth is much more nuanced: tech workers are incredibly valuable IF interest rates are low.

Look at the revenue per employee figures of most tech companies. The difficulty is that the value of tech workers tends to be speculative until they've delivered something, and the low rates give them more time to deliver.
Combine this with the tech to generate new audio matching the speaker's voice profile, and you've really got something cool.
To clarify, it could be that the bottom type is not the base of all types, if the language has a split between some types which participate in that sort of thing and others that don't (e.g. class versus basic types or whatever).

But void is not the base of anything in C and C++.

You could argue that void is in some category of types where it is at the bottom; but no other types are in that category.

There is another problem: a bottom type should be the subtype of all types in that category. That includes being its own subtype. There we have a problem: C and C++ void is not a subtype of void in any sense.

Dark matter is what should explain the anomalies we see in gravitational behavior of galaxies. So it's influencing gravity but it's not acting like regular matter and can't be detected apart from the gravitational influence it has on regular matter. So if dark matter would be rotating along with the galaxy then it would behave like regular matter so it wouldn't be dark matter.
It's an interesting idea, but there's a caveat: time flows in just one direction.
Yes, but this doesn't account for the fact that a cryptocurrency can be recorded across multiple blockchains (e.g. sharding). So a cryptocurrency (as opposed to a blockchain) can have all three properties of decentralization, scalability, and security.

Also, the problem can be solved even more simply and elegantly than sharding by having a multi-cryptocurrency ecosystem which supports fast, decentralized, and low friction conversions exposed via the same (interoperable) transaction APIs. If the on-chain volume is sufficient on all chains, it's possible to automatically determine relative prices of tokens... In the same way that tourists from different countries can spend their native country's currency locally (conversion is not always necessary if the relative prices and volumes are somewhat stable).

If the on-chain transaction volumes of different cryptocurrencies are similar (or above a certain threshold that corresponds to the size of the businesses accepting the cryptocurrency as payment), then a business can effectively accept payment in any cryptocurrency which they know/trust the existence of since the API would be the same across all chains. So you could use the same passphrase to log into all the different chains (including ones you never heard of) and you would already have an account there. You don't need to trust the chains themselves with your passphrase, you only need to trust your wallet app since the passphrase should never be sent over the wire.

Wouldn't it be great if you could just walk up to a local business and offer to pay them in some new cryptocurrency they've never heard of which supports the same API? They could verify whether or not it meets their volume/stability and exposure requirements automatically in a couple of minutes.

We're so close to achieving this ideal. The tech already exists in various forms. We just need regulatory/taxation clarity and a bit of willpower.
