Isn't that the opposite of what the stats tell us? Immigrants are the most law-abiding Americans, and their descendants converge to typical amounts of lawlessness in 1 or 2 generations.

Let's say MS does not allow third party drivers at all. Then they would have a monopoly over software drivers and system software like security systems. I doubt regulators would want that.
A majority of humans alive 500 years ago would have murdered you on the spot as a demon if they saw you use cars, planes, microwaves, etc modern technology.

The Quicktime nuclear clause also got copied into the iTunes EULA, which is extremely funny.
They are very much not sending all their equipment. They are very much not in a total war economy. The conflict is highly constrained. In an unconstrained war, Kyiv would be leveled already. Ukraine would be plowed over. Western powers have done a lot of work to set up guardrails for this conflict. The modern russian army is 1/30th the size of the red army, for reference on present level of mobilization and what is theoretically capable of being employed should russia actually be fighting a war for survival of the russian state.
A pretty bleak picture and probably a little big exaggerated, but it could be a very good plot for a novel of some kind.

Car ownership in Brussels is 45% versus 62% in Queens, that is also a factor.

Number of traffic deaths in Brussels in strangely fluctuating, one year it's 6, the other it's 20+. Might be a COVID thing. Still less than Queens.

Yes but as far as i understand it, the interconnect is not really important for model inference. But for model training more so.
> The majority of the people who came here from Europe in the 1700s and 1800s were laborers, factory workers, farmers, and other simple occupations. Why are we pulling up the ladder behind them?

The welfare state did not exist in that time, so the cost of absorbing immigration was confined to acculturation. Immigrants had to quickly start generating value or perish. The incentives are radically different now and the marginal cost to society of absorbing each additional immigrant is much higher.

US government spending as a percentage of GDP remained low single digits until WW1; it is roughly 35% today.

> You gotta stop trying to fight the current

You must also remember that the natural state of everything is decay, and the natural state of mankind in particular is "solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short". The current grinds everything down to sand. It is incumbent upon everyone to fight the current in the way that affords the greatest benefit to society.
Good summary of some of the main "theoretical" criticism of LLMs but I feel that it's a bit dated and ignores the recent trend of iterative post-training, especially with human feedback. Major chatbots are no doubt being iteratively refined on the feedback from users i.e. interaction feedback, RLHF, RLAIF. So ChatGPT could fall within the sort of "enactive" perspective on language and definitely goes beyond the issues of static datasets and data completeness.

Sidenote: the authors make a mistake when citing Wittgenstein to find similarity between humans and LLMs. Language modelling on a static dataset is mostly not a language game (see Bender and Koller's section on distributional semantics and caveats on learning meaning from "control codes")
Ironically I think Microsoft losing windows won't hurt them that much, it will however benefit consumers for sure.
Have you tried to read any of the literature on the Risch algorithm? If you haven't, you might want to get started by taking a look at the paper "Integration in Finite Terms" by Rosenlicht [1] and chasing down some of the references mentioned in [2].

Of course, in the real world we don't give up on integrals just because they can't be expressed in terms of elementary functions. Usually we also check if the result happens to be a hypergeometric function, such as a Bessel function. If you want to get started on understanding hypergeometric functions, maybe try reading [3] (as well as the tangentially related book "A = B" [4]).

This isn't being prepared. This is sloshing around urine and feces in your vehicle and having to dispose of it yourself. Its a half step removed from the sanitary practices of the middle ages. Prepared in this case is going to the bathroom before you hit the road and making appropriate stops as needed from there.
> History and data from various European nations suggest that some immigrant groups aren't able to integrate with the host society after multiple generations, and remain ghettoized with low employment and high crime rates (vastly higher, for certain categories of crime).

I'm not sure that's true. For example, in the United States, it took numerous generations of German-Americans to fully integrate into society, with towns in Wisconsin speaking a dialect of German well into the 1940s. Despite this lack of cultural integration, these cities experienced very little crime.
That use case is already covered by costco membership. Costco locations are nicely distributed near freeway exits across the nation. Plenty of parking, decent bathrooms, and you can get food of you need it.
It's not a question of fragile, it's a question of constantly bypassing the security that is supposed to be in place.

I can perfectly understand that my company refuses me to install an app on my laptop because it may cause security concerns (it my case, it was Tencent's WeChat app).
What I don't understand is why I can't install my apps (which are very "normal" third party applications) on my company laptop, while at the same time there's apparently no issue to grant insane privileges to a third party application that allows god knows who to push updates without any check and literally brick workstations.

Regardless of anti-virus, threat detection, online games anti-cheat or whatever, no third party applications should be able to push updates over the air without the user being warned and consenting. period.

Another thing that also need to be highlighted is why everyone runs Windows ? We have all seen the pictures of the displays in the subways stations or the advertisement displays, screens showing the gates numbers at the airports etc... Does this kind of tool really requires a paid MS license to fulfill its purpose ? I mean, why MS Windows is necessary to display the number of a boarding gate & flight information in an airport ? Why not using a Raspberry Pi or something ? And most importantly, why a display showing the gate number in an airport has to be connected to the Internet ?
I don't remember what your post originally said, but posting about a vulnerability is not the same as disclosing the vulnerability. Especially when you're asking for a contact.

The difference, in case you really want to know is that one actually tells everyone what the issue is, another tells everyone that there is an issue.
And if they can’t get it via radio they are trained to get clearance via visual sight with someone on the ground.
They may not care about the politics, but if the politics is what contributes to the economy / shortages / difficulty in getting things like food... then the politics matter, regardless of if any given citizen is consciously aware of it.

And as a reciprocal anecdote, I have family that grew up behind the iron curtain - and they were very much aware of and knew the importance of the governments politics
The update wasn’t actually a kernel driver but a configuration file. While I agree that there should be some changes to mitigate such problems it was a policy/config file that the existing untouched driver was reading and then causing the crash (so no restore point was created).
Republicans are strongly anti-illegal immigration, and that appears anti-immigration to some.

I've personally trialed Crowdstrike for my company (around 30 people) and found it a buggy mess, especially on non-Windows platforms - after the trial was over we decided to not use it.
However this is not the case for most companies, feds, auditors or both will force you to use this BS and there's absolutely nothing you can do.
From what I understand, the problem was not caused by an update of the driver itself, but an update of a config file that the driver uses. As an OS author, how could you possibly know what to rollback when this is just an unrelated file fron a third party?
Maybe you could try to rollback the whole file system to a previous snapshot? Assuming the file system supports automated snapshots, that might work, but this also has costs.
I never said it was easy? Additionally the issue isn't paying for a service, but that people are paying the commission as a percent rather than a fixed fee. Lastly, lots of other professions are difficult, and people make them work without taking a percent cut of the transaction via collusion — which is now being challenged, and costs are expected to go down, not up [1].

Simple game theory. If they escalate the conflict there is a potential that western allies would also escalate the conflict in response. Russia tows the line between funding a minor conflict and disruption of their domestic economy in favor of a centrally planned wartime economy. Having an active conflict to engage in is also a benefit in and of itself. The U.S. for example is the most advanced military in the world because they have engaged in more or less a continuous series of conflicts since WWII that allow them a unique opportunity to experiment in tactics and technology that for most other nations remains theoretical and simulated.
Crime among immigrants is largely correlated with unemployment rates. European countries with immigrant crime problems have high unemployment rates, the US does not.
I've found that an increasing number of chains (eg fitness locations, some restaurants and service providers) use the no-cash policy as a way to (a) discourage staff from stealing and (b) get more valuable data on each buyer.

Modern civilization has entitlements, if we get rid of entitlements, sure we can have open borders. We just can’t do both or the system collapses.
As my sibling comment points out, it's full of micronutrients, which can be hard to come by when there isn't much growing. Having access to a decent source of electrolytes and vitamins really blunts the impact of having unreliable or inadequate food for a prolonged period.

Ask yourself `what does everybody want/need? (Hint it's not AI) Two (of many) possibilities; accommodation & food. One could investigate previous examples where startups began small and made history. Then I suggest you may need at least 2 of these: #1 A gimmick #2 Good luck #3 $$$$$$.
Different immigrant groups have better or worse outcomes, hence my saying "some immigrant groups". The cultural distance between the English progenitors of the US to the large wave of German immigrants in the 1800s is not as great as, say, that of Turkish immigrants to Germany post-WW2, or Syrian immigrants to contemporary Denmark.

Another way to look at it is that immigrant groups bring parts of their old world with them; German-Americans left a high-social-trust, low-crime culture and established it in their new country.
> No one is opposed to the legal immigration of skilled workers

I can assure you that’s not true, but we hear the most about illegal unskilled immigration because everyone agrees on that.
What's The Difference Between NumPy's `arange()` and `linspace()`
WWI also forced the issue in a way that hasn't quite applied to other "ethnic" folks in the US. German immigrants, by and large, have been pushed towards forgetting their national culture altogether and assimilating into a newly-manufactured (by early 20th-century Progressives, no less), unified "White" identity.
In related news, auto manufacturers under fire after aftermarket modifications to mufflers cause engines to burst into flames.

Seriously, I don't know what Microsoft was supposed to do about this. People bought an operating system from them, then they gave a third party permission to modify the internals of that operating system's configuration, then those modifications broke their installations. Where is the regulatory intervention story regarding how Microsoft's behavior should change here?
Unsafe doesn't operate on that scope, and it's not about the language primitives but the features that let you to ensure things about their usage.

Something I've just realized recently is that while not all Rust programs are safe and sane, Rust is one of the few langages with a type system powerful enough that you can actually specify and build safe and sane programs with it.

Languages like C/C++ and friends don't have more inherently dangerous primitives they just lack that type system. Same floor, lower ceiling.
The hatred towards Cuba by Cuban immigrants is much higher than most other immigrants. This indicates that Cuba is worse than most countries.
> US elections are structured such that dumb stuff like a relatively small—but loud—and also hopeless interest

I can tell you, not just the US.

See: farmers having an absolute chokehold on the EU despite virtually everyone hating them, and them only being a tiny percentage of population, votes or GDP.
Just wondering: did your organisation contribute anything back to the project, or supported it financially in any way?
Is it baffling? Only windows computers were affected, so this provides ammunition for people who are already concerned about the prevalence of windows.

I think this is more politically motivated than actually trying to address the real problem.

However I do, think Microsoft deserves some blame, since if Windows was more secure by default there would be less need for 3rd party anti-malware software that can fail so catastrophically. But, Crowdstrike certainly is more to blame for thos particular disaster.
We are talking about the descendants of the wealthy or dissident people who were escaping the Cuban revolution, where Cuba at the time was largely owned by foreign sugar plantations which was perpetuated by the the brutal military dictatorship of Batista, which was supported by the US government as well as organized crime (and where one ends and the other begins is sometimes unclear…)

It’s a tale as old as time!
You need out of band remote management, basically a separate computer on the side that can do things to the main computer, or a read only OS with networking and management abilities that things fall back to. It’s definitely a thing in the datacenter world, and there are examples of cloud stuff. MDM solutions come to mind for mobile, and MacOS can do that too in a limited fashion.

...but still, if the user space process is broken, MacOS will fail as well. Maybe it's a bit easier to recover, but any broken process with non-trivial privileges can interrupt the whole system.
Cuban-Americans are literally revanchists. You might not be getting the straight scoop from this self-selected subpopulation.

I get where you're coming from, but discussing which decisions lead to something of the scale like this, deserve to be talked about from more than just one angle.

Your post sounds like you want to defend the "one" person responsible for the actual problem, which is something I fully understand and care about. I myself didn't read the 4000+ upvotes thread at all, because it was not about the actual problem, but about ranting.

I think a problem of this scale emerges from a culture, and the only job of a CEO is establishing culture. Which is why I think we have to discuss the role of a person which happened to allow something like this to happen twice within just a few years, and more importantly, what can be learned from their mistakes.

> I could bet that most of these "new Rust safe programs" will start like this: unsafe { // your code goes here }

I'll take your bet.
Most Rust program I've seen don't use unsafe or when they do, it is fairly limited in scope.
If you open up trade they will become stronger. Look at China before and after we opened up trade with them. What happens of Cuba becomes more powerful and is still hostile while being so close to the US?
> Linux gets security patches all the time

1) While CrowdStrike can be run on Linux it is less of a risk to use Linux without it than Windows. I don't think most Linux/BSD boxes would benefit from it. It could be useful for a Linux with remotely accessible software of questionable quality (or a desktop working with untrusted files) but this should not be the case for any critical system.

2) There is a difference between auto-updates (common in Windows world) and updates triggered manually only when it is necessary (and after testing in non-prod environment). Also while Linux is far from being bug-free, remotely exploitable vulnerabilities are rare.
Depends; were I or my family aligned or complicit with a military dictatorship?

It strikes me that what you describe already appears to be true in relation to Google Search's ranking of no-nonsense websites.
The limiting number for a "Russia goes bananas and decides to steamroll into Portugal" event, based on what we've seen in the invasion of Ukraine so far, seems to not be the number of soldiers but the amount of functional equipment.

Russian production numbers sound good if you ignore that most of them refer to stored Cold War era equipment being reactivated. Their main and most successful staple has been artillery and that mostly worked because it could be fired from the safety of being on a side of the border NATO pretty much told Ukraine not to cross - for a time. It also seems like the "saber rattling" Russia did in the lead-up to the invasion by positioning military around the Ukranian border was less of an intimidation tactic and more of a necessary part of the process.

I'm not saying Russia couldn't do a lot more damage in an all-out war into the West even without involving nuclear weapons (which already assumes European countries with nuclear weapons or the US wouldn't use them either). But based on the underwhelming performance of the Russian military relative to its supposed numbers, I don't think Russia could have pulled off the kind of Blitzkrieg you're envisioning, let alone once supply lines become a problem. Especially if you consider that the plan for the invasion of Ukraine clearly was built around a surprise attack on Kyiv, which failed spectacularly because the terrain and weather meant the tanks had to drive slowly in a line and somehow Russia didn't bother providing infantry support.

I guess that it's not bad to clean the store, but I'm just sad because it might be the last nail of the coffin of the good old time "anyone can create an Android app for pleasure in one weekend".

Now you need to be a professional developer with all the relevant infrastructure (a company, a public phone number, dozens of people for testing, fifty policy/regulation to comply with, ...)
From what I’ve read on Wikipedia, mixxx apparently uses the xwax source code. As does PiDeck. It would be really interesting to know what else uses it.
why do you claim i doing it blindly?
Everyone installing Crowdstrike seems like they want to build locked-down kiosks but haven't heard of Windows Embedded yet. Or at least I'm assuming there's an Embedded configuration that lets you do AMFI[0]-tier code signing enforcement.

If there's something that says you can't fill the script until X days before previous runs out because of some "regulation", then yes, it is relevant. It's just another example of short sighted JIT style expectations that only compound situations like this where the supply chain is interrupted.
Sources I've seen was that there was a .SYS file with all zeros that caused the BSOD. A configuration file shouldn't cause a bluescreen.

EDIT: It is in the 'drivers' directory, has a .SYS extension, but was something called a "channel file" but I couldn't get much info on what a channel file does other than "something something named pipes"
FWIW even more recently, models have been tuned using a method called DPO instead of RLHF.

Given that it's completely unnecessary for my purposes, yes. Garage doesn't support anonymous access, either.
Okay, so (as mentioned elsewhere in this thread), connect the offline box to an online NAS with the tightest security between the two humanly possible. You can get the relevant data out to those who need it.

This stuff isn't impossible to solve. Rather, the incentives just aren’t there. People would rather build an apparatus for blame-shifting than actually just building a better solution.
