It wouldn't work, the SEC has incredible tools for finding these things.

Probably close to none at some point. They may block some things.

But most of Windows falling to this is that it’s what people use. The only platform that is somewhat actually protected against attacks is the iPhone - the Mac can easily be ransomwared it’s just the market is so small nobody bothers attacking it; no ROI.
It's pretty bad when the main ABC 7pm News Bulletin pretty much had them reading from their iPads couldn't use their normal studio background screens and didn't even give us the weather forecast!
Showing yet again that the executive class only fails upwards.
Two orders of magnitude?! You are claiming that flights that now cost 100€ used to cost 10,000€?
This is great news. It’s appalling that the prison system is the only place left in the country that charges more for “long distance” calls (like 3x IIRC).

I’ve helped several families set up Google voice numbers in the region of their loved one’s prison just to save money.
> Companies that are not software-focused, as it's not their primary business. These organizations are left with Microsoft's offerings

I wonder why is it the case. These companies still have IT departments, someone has to manage these huge fleets of Windows machines. So nothing would prevent them from hiring Linux admins instead of Windows admins. What makes the management of these companies consider Windows to be the default choice?

I've been warning about the coming software apocalypse for years.
This isn't a one-off, this is the beginning of a pattern.
Tech recruitment is broken, software is more complex than ever, more and more people are turning to hacking, people are growing increasingly dissatisfied with the status quo...
Yes. I have been working in the tech industry since the early aughts and I never seen the industry so weak on engineer lead firms. Something really happened and the industry flipped.
Certain backend systems run on mainframes, yes. But the airline's website? No (only the booking portion interacts with a mainframe via API calls). Identity management system? No. Etc.
The old-school airlines never swindle you and they're still around. I'd much rather avoid a few dark patterns and save a significant cost of my ticket, and it seems like most of Europe agrees.

> c) around 80€ flat.

Then they cheated you.

The cash compensation in Europe if they bump you is 250 - 600 EUR per flight and person, depending on distance. That even applies for significant delays.

To be fair, it can be a hassle to get it. But sometimes, if the airline is clearly at fault not.

And for the record: Every airline overbooks. But usually they find enough volounteers to make it work.
Small companies get the shitty generic license.

Big companies negotiate liability terms.
Do you still have the animation?
They should reword it as "That’s the average time it takes a broken automatic upgrade to land and deploy through your network. When your data, reputation, and revenue are at stake, don't trust third-party software with automated updates."
Or do what Apple does, disallow kernel extensions, and provide rigid kernel faciltiies for VPN clients, EDR agents, etc. to use, so they don't have to implement custom code resident in the kernel.
Isn't there a way to schedule the updates? With Windows updates, when I used to work at a firm with a critical system running on Windows, we had main and DR servers and the updates were scheduled to first rollout on the main server and a day after I think at the DR, which has saved us at least once in the past from a bad Windows update...
They aren't hallucinating in any way comparable to humans, which implies a delusion in perception. You're describing the quality of output by using a word used to describe the quality of input.
This is adorable and reminds me of my first website :D Great job!
Pro tip: if you want a nice seat on a Ryanair flight, wait with the check-in until shortly before the deadline. Their 'random' seat assignment algorithm gives out the 'bad' seats first, in the hopes of being able to sell the 'better' ones. Only works if the flight is fully booked of course.
The economics are simply that prisons are rent-seekers.
>> Why'd we have to compose music in a style of the past?

> Because we like it.

Nothing against that, but there seems to be a group of people who dismiss anything except classical music as if we lost the ability to make acceptable music today.

I also like some styles more than others, but I'm not going to make generalizing statements about humanity's abilities due to my personal preferences.

> Those tools are not our masters to impose us making different styles on us.

They most probably do affect the style, just like how 16-color pixel graphics produces a different visual style than playstation-style polygons. And that's a good thing, more styles = more variety, there isn't some particular style of some particular era that's somehow better than others
if one of the people i manage is not up to the task the fault is mine. I've hired them. I should setup a system of hard gained trust and automation to avoid or at least minimize them fucking up. When fuckups happen, they are my fuckups. Critical systems don't survive only on trust, obviously. If I don't setup the teams and the systems properly, my bosses will also take the blame for having put me in that position.
I'm not advocating for lower layers to avoid responsabilities. But if an head needs to roll you should look above. That said, peole are hardened by fuckups, so there are better solutions than rolling heads, usually.
You just made the single point of failure your software stack hardware abstraction layer. There’s a bug in it, you’re down. Everywhere. Not only that, but if there is CS in either your HAL, or your application you’re down. So to get the redundancy the original commenter was talking about, you need to develop 2 different HALs with 2 different applications all using a minimum of 2 different OS and language stacks.

Why multiply your problems? Use your cloud service provider only to access hardware and leave the rest of that alone. That way any cloud provider will due. Any region on any cloud provider will due. You could even just fallback to your own racks if you want. Point is, you only want the hardware.

Now to get that level of redundancy, you would still have to create 2 different implementations of your application on 2 different software and OS stacks. But the hardware layer is now able to run anywhere. Again, you can even have a self hosted rack in your dispatch stack.

So hardware redundancy is easy to do at the level the original commenter recommends . Software redundancy is incredibly difficult and expensive to do at the level the original commenter was talking about. Your idea to make a hardware/cloud abstraction layer only multiplies the number of software layers you would need multiple implementations of, shadow run and maintain to achieve the hypothetical level of redundancy.
Did anybody prompt a GenAI to get this output?
Strong disagree, there are other low cost airliners that have massively better user experience, not because they are stellar, its just that ryanair is rock bottom slump of shite and they often make you feel it when using them.

These days, even ie Swiss airlines often offer comparable prices for same routes. No free food or drinks, yet you are still treated like a human being with a speck of respect.
I mean, increased recitivism means more value for the shareholders.
That was a misnomer—hallucination refers to perception, not generation. Completely misled an entire generation of people.

Equating sitting for 90 minutes focusing on a single thing with a single or maybe two senses to jerking your limbs along to droning sounds in a dark room surrounded by drunk people is pure cultural nihilism. Sounds harsh, but that kind of thinking just makes me sad.
FYI, the article is about Nikolaus Matthes who did actually write a very good (but not as good as Bach best according to critics) Passion in the style of Bach in 2019 and why nobody cares.

I think it had to be said because, at the time of me writing this comment, none of the other 16 commenters had apparently bothered clicking on the link they were commenting on.
Single Point of Failure
Yeah it's like Mad Max over here. I'm sure Russia doesn't have tons of road rage (wait, didn't the dashcam trend start there?), may have less guns but rape and domestic violence is absolutely insane (and dv is legal now), and Russia absolutely treats black people with respect (oh wait now the battlefield is full of dead minority conscripts hmm).

Maybe the USA just has a lot more news outlets. We don't have Oblasts or little shanty towns full of drunk war criminals committing rapes and crimes that don't get reported because the Oblast/town has no local news agency and everything they learn on the news is filtered through VK. There is a university on the border of Ukraine (30mins or so in I believe) where they kicked out ALL of the students living there and filled it up with village evacuees and men who are in between going to the front line. They basically took over an entire college and were sexually assaulting/harassing the young students. There is one news article about it off of telegram and it's never been updated, happened a year ago.

Not a single American thinks about Guantanamo Bay in their day to day life that isn't a public defender.

I'm on a LOT of Russian telegram channels since they started the war. Nearly all Russians get their news off of Telegram or vk and it's basically all community sourced news. If the gov doesn't want you to hear about it you won't. A LOT of stuff goes on that you only hear about if you go to that specific telegrams news channel (often for an Oblast/city/town). A LOT of people don't report any news at all because they don't want to get harassed by the government.

Funny comment though. Curious where you're from.
Indeed. The xz backdoor team must be kicking themselves: "We spent years getting our own vector into a tool, only for our world domination plans to be thwarted at the last minute ... we could have just bribed someone at CS!"
Shouldn't be too hard to bundle them together with qemu, or some other vm solution.
CrowdStrike outage sparks global chaos – NOT a security incident
Not sure what you want from me, I simply answered the question. Yes I remember WannaCry.
Far from being douchey, I think you've hit the nail on the head.
No one is perfect, we're all incompetent to some extent. You've written shitty code, I've definitely written shitty code. There's little time or consideration given to going back and improving things. Unless you're lucky enough to have financial support while working on a FOSS project where writing quality software is actually prioritized.

I get the appeal software developers have to start from scratch and write their own kernel, or OS, etc. And then you realize that working with modern hardware is just as messy.

We all stack our own house of cards upon another. Unless we tear it all down and start again with a sane stable structure, events like this will keep happening.
“CrowdStrike is actively working with customers impacted by a defect found in a single content update for Windows hosts. Mac and Linux hosts are not impacted. This is not a security incident or cyberattack. The issue has been identified, isolated and a fix has been deployed," said Crowdstrike CEO George Kurtz on social media Friday morning
And Linux/BSD generally would not help here. Ransomeware is just ordinary file IO and is usually run "legitimately" by phished users rather than actual code execution exploits

I have a similar disdain for security bloatware with questionable value, but one actually effective corporate IT strategy is using one of those tools to operate a whitelist of safe software, with centralized updates
There is a point of view that all the western music is divided by Bach. The before era when music is mostly based on intuition and imitation, and the after era when music is strongly based on elementary theory. Bach himself, interestingly, belongs to the "before" era and as such is a pinnacle of intuitive pre-elementary music.

Just yesterday I found an album of Elizabethian remakes of Nick Drake's songs mixed with John Dowland's. The difference in composition is staggering. And Nick Drake was not a typical songwriter himself. Yet a 50 years old song is principally different from a 500 years old even when played by the same people on the same instruments.
For anyone interested, obviously a lot of prepper oriented material out there but for budget preparing I found the Mormons, of all groups, had easy and affordable and scalable lists.
If you can see the difference than so can the computer. If the computer can see it we have a discriminator than we can use in a GAN-like fashion to train the network not to make that mistake again.
Any good screnshoting tool for linux on rpi os? I never found one...
Yep. Rust has all of these features (modules, structs with associated methods and type classes (traits)). But nobody thinks of it as an OO language. In fact, I’ve heard that many people struggle with rust if they’ve come from a heavily OO language like Java. You have to structure your code a little differently if you don’t have classes.

Modula apparently had many of these features too - and that predated what we now think of as object oriented programming. The good parts of OOP aren’t OOP.
I had forgotten that Aider uses tree-sitter for syntactic analysis. Happy to found you've got the tree-sitter queries ready, to retrieve code information from source. I was researching how to write the queries myself, for exactly the same purpose as Aider.
Hallucinations implies that they do behave like a human mind. Why else would you use the word if you were not trying to draw this parallel?
I have seen those comments; but I do wonder, to what extent that is because the comments' authors intended such positions vs. the subtlety and nuance are hard to write and easy to overlook when reading? (Ironically, humans are more boolean than LLMs, the word "nuance" itself seems a bit like ChatGPT's voice).

I'm sure people place me closer to #1 than I actually feel, simply because I'm more often responding to people who seem to be too far in the #2 direction than vice versa.
I'd say something implementing the ideas of NixOS, i.e. immutable versioned systems and declarative system definitions, is poised to replace the current deployment mess, which is extremely fragile.

With NixOS, you can upgrade without fear, as you can always roll back to a previous version of your system. Regular Linux distributions, macOS, and Windows make me very nervous because that is not the case.
You don't pay for the ticket for infant, just a flat fee since infant doesn't take an extra seat but sits on parent's lap and uses special seat belt clipped into parent's one.

Which can end up being more expensive than regular ticket on rock bottom prices. Every airline has this up to 2 years, some actually charge more so that situation above becomes quite frequent.
> So we need to hold regulatory bodies accountable as well...

My bank, my insurer, my payment card processor, my accounting auditor and probably others may all insist I have anti-virus and insist that it is up to date. That is why we have to have these systems. However, I used to prefer systems that allowed me to control the update cycle and push it to smaller groups.
So no free lunch? Making a detailed wiki of all the code would take several developer-years for us, and we're just a handful of developers.

Or is the wiki generated somehow?
I can't wait to see the reasoning employed by CrowdStrike management to try and justify their continued existence after a lack of testing caused them to trigger the very same global IT meltdown that they are supposed to prevent
This is nothing to be ashamed of. We have all been there. I mean, I haven't.

Aware that this comment is wading dangerously into U.S. politics - will the recent Supreme Court decisions w/r/t the powers of executive branch agencies like the FCC make it impossible to enforce this?

Edit - this from the article makes me thing that maybe it'll be OK? Sounds like there was some congressional approval involved?

> The regulations adopted today mark the implementation of the Martha Wright-Reed Just and Reasonable Communications Act, which established the FCC’s authority to regulate in-state phone and video calls from correctional facilities, in addition to out-of-state phone calls that it had already regulated. The discussion during today's vote will result in only minor changes to the draft rules released on June 27, and be released in the coming days.

But it's not that bad. You need to do research about your travel destination anyways, like how are you going to get around, what places you want to visit, and some basic phrases in the destination language if relevant. Spending an extra 2-3 minutes checking how much stuff you can bring and whether you need any "dark pattern" options shouldn't be too hard in comparison but maybe I expect too much of the average traveller.
"Incoherence" seems like a far more natural fit for what you're describing than a human with a sensory delusion or psychosis.
As the comments correctly point out that image is like 10 years old and has nothing to do with LLMs.

Bach was a fashion(-driven) designer like any other artist, reacting to and driving trends of his time.

With that framing, they never stopped composing like Bach
Yeah. The mobile ecosystems are what real security design looks like. Everything is sandboxed, brokered, MACed, and fuzzed. We should either make the desktop systems work the same way or generalize the mobile systems into desktops.
Imagine if North Korea comes with a statement, that they did it.. It would spawn such amount of work internally at CS to proof if it was intentional or a simple mistake.
Beato also talks about easiness of listening.

I didn't really get into Bach until after 4 hours of listening BWV 988 (Goldberg Variations), then it just clicked and I could enjoy it deeper than anything before. Mozart does not work for me the same way. It's good, but somehow just clever bullshit at the same time. Music is subjective.
Do you have an example? Your statement seems trivially contradictory—how do you know it's fabricated without incoherence showing you this? Isn't fabrication the entire point of generative ai?
Some sort of browser extension that make users aware of the dark patterns would be interesting. As I write this I remember reading about one that removes them from booking.com:

If I had the anger, starting such a project would be interesting. If they start applying counter-measures (like randomizing CSS classes, like Zuckbook does), one can smile in glee that they're spending money paying some developer to fight you.

I'd wager if Linux had the same userbase as Windows, you'd see more ransomware attacks on that platform as well. Nothing about Linux is inherently more secure.

I already conceded the cost point so I'll skip over all of that. I won't deny flying used to be expensive

Haha, that's a good one. I've read quite a few threads on the topic of old ticket prices on the BA FlyerTalk forum, and people with actual old tickets from and good memories of the 80s and 90s quote prices not so extreme (while still perhaps expensive by today's standards).

I don't know, but I would guess that Microsoft Office is what retains people; personal anectodal experience suggests that anything else (Apple's offerings, Google Docs, LibreOffice &c.) is not acceptable to the average user.
My suspicion is that Microsoft would be very unhappy to have MS Office running successfully on Linux systems.
This is just speculation, but I could see there being a spectrum. E.g. bags of rice are an easy way to store a ton of calories but aren't very palatable and require you to boil water. On the other hand, survival meals are easy to prepare but expensive.

So perhaps the optimal strategy would be a combination of the two (likely with other options as well such as a supply of dried fruit to provide vitamin C).

Current image generators don’t use an adversarial model. Though the ones that do would have eventually encoded that as well; the details to look for aren’t hard-coded.
