That’s not exactly what they’re saying.

It says that if a system isn’t “affected”, meaning it doesn’t reboot in a loop, then the “protection” works and nothing needs to be done. That’s because the Crowdstrike central systems, on which rely the agents running on the clients’ systems, are working well.

The “sensor” is what the clients actually install and run on their machines in order to “use Crowdstrike”.

The crash happened in a file named csagent.sys which on my machine was something like a week old.
You have to remember the ever intensifying info bubble that people wrap themselves in these days. It's quite possible to completely ignore objective reality when you're staring at a phone. Biden may well be the worst president that people think they experienced because they see no news outside of the outrage machines that are driving societies divisions.

The problem is the outrage machines. They have to be curtailed. That no two people experience the internet the same way any more thanks to the various big tech algorithms has to stop. Most sensible people have abandoned Facebook/X by this stage but that still leaves a lot of people in thrall to curated garbage.

It takes a lot of time to trust strange people enough to let them pierce your body to inject random substances. After about a century of vaccination among the "civilized", with proven results, there's still a lot of people that are not OK with it.

Not saying they're sufficient reasons but ..

1. more Windows programmers than Linux so they're cheaper.

2. more third-party software for e.g. reporting, graphing to integrate with

3. no one got fired for buying Microsoft

4. any PC can run Windows; IT departments like that.

You can pretend that grant money doesn't fund the writing of grant applications, but that won't make it true. If you make your criteria stricter and less reliable, then every project has to spend more overhead on crossing the Ts and dotting the Is to ensure their entire budget doesn't fall out from under them.
We definitely have the technology to make machines that stone age people can't destroy or move.
Implementing v4 on the server side also requires the service to keep the token as plain text. If it's a persistent password, rather than an ephemeral key, that opens up another whole host of security issues around password storage. And on the flip side requiring the client to hit an endpoint to receive a session based token is even more crippling from a performance perspective.

The reason this isn't solved is because traffic deaths are considered to be a "cost of doing business". Most pedestrian traffic in the US is in cities and due to the way funding formulas and political representation works in the US, suburban and rural areas have more political power than urban areas which care more about traffic throughput than pedestrian safety, so the issue never gets fixed. The only places in the US making headway have large urbanized areas and even they are struggling.

Not sure if you're implying that the government is supposed to oversee/manage the development of such a project, but I think they're extraordinarily bad at such things. It isn't the role of the gov either.

> car and computing companies could contribute their existing software to a open source consortium that would be government-sponsored, but privately run.

So basically it would just be a normal company, but the government pays them? In what way should the gov decide which company to fund, and why? If it is a commercial/private company, their existence should be justified by their profits. I don't really get it.
Note the way to do this is to follow engineering rules.

Take the 85th percentile rule.

If you take a neighborhood road and change it from 40mph to 25mph in an attempt to "save the children", you can easily make it more dangerous.

The 85th percentile rule figures how fast people go on a road, and sets an appropriate speed limit that people naturally follow. Attempting to set a speed limit too low or too high leads to a wide speed variance, which makes the road more dangerous.
lool I wrote my IB extended essay on this. I had a caesar cipher instead though.
Well worth reflecting that relatively little of existing free software seems to come from that sort of funding. It is mostly commercial companies following commoditise-the-complement strategies, consultancies building free tools then supporting them, or research spinoffs.

If EU funding can create and sustain a thriving free software ecosystem I suspect it would require a new funding model that we haven't seen yet. Otherwise, why would they do it and how would the institution detect if it was working?
Meanwhile in California, PG&E underfunded maintenance, perhaps because regulators squeezed too hard? Eventually we had things like the San Bruno gas explosion and wildfires so bad that PG&E went bankrupt.

Finding the optimal amount of regulation seems difficult. It seems like too blunt an instrument. Incentives are no substitute for technical people who want to do what's right.

I'm not the biggest fan of Elon although SpaceX is pretty cool and successful.

It would be cool if he did something like that though. Just a clean and simple OS and not the corporate hellscape that is Windows or the alternatives of Mac and Linux. I'd buy a license or the hardware itself if he sold it and develop for something like that.
> Or you burn a small amount of gas when these rare occurrences happen to coincide.

But this presents a different problem: Instead of having to maintain several hundred GW of natural gas plants that you use on a daily basis, you now have to amortize the same cost even though they're only being used five days a year. At which point the incremental cost of building the same capacity in nuclear, which generates power 100% of the time and allows you to avoid not only the natural gas plants but that amount of solar and storage, is looking pretty good.
> In my eyes it could be pretty nice to have a framework version that's supported for 10-20 years and is so stable that it can be used with little to no changes for the entire expected lifetime of a system.

Yeah, me too. I also would like a few million bucks in the bank.

It's naive to think that every project wouldn't want to set this goal, simply because it's so unrealistic.

I met Douglas near the end, at MacWorld SF 2000. He was charming, enormous (though, not in a "fat guy" way, much more in a "way over 6 foot tall" way.) He truly was a monument of a human being. He was vastly more interested in experimenting with a USB microscope camera he'd become associated with than being all "Hey I'm famous," a trait I took to insinuate great humility and confidence. I was almost paralyzed by my inability to say "You, sir, built me from a puddle of bullied goo into a tower of a man, confident in the face of chaos and uncertainty, purely through force of word and logic." Instead, I think I just talked about the microscope. He was amazing.
Its a stick they found in an area being actively examined, next to megafauna bones giving the age, that on inspection would have shown burn marks and probably not the megafauna lunch they thought it might be.

Birthday paradox? I guess it might originate from a similar but now extinct ritual, rather than the modern documented one. But given the near infinite number of potential rituals, it seems reasonable to suggest that because of the similarities it has been passed down over the 12,000 years. Even if the original ritual would be completely unrecognizable apart from the remaining similarities and performed by a different tribal group. Or maybe that is like claiming modern druidic rituals have been passed down for thousands of years.

A quick Googling shows that Vulkan had an experimental, Android-only Vulkan backend around version 1.7. It doesn't appear to still exist in current versions.
Hard to believe he is doing this. It's absolutely nonsensical, I think Elon really is having mental health issues.

Wasn't that revolutionary from an "isolation" perspective. There had been people waking around with small "pocket" radios with earphones for maybe a decade before Walkman was released in 1979. Listening to music, news, sport. Google Cliff Richard's "Wired for Sound" released about 2 years after first Walkman to get a sense of the contemporaraneous vibe.

This is the "I buy from a local farmer raising their own cows" argument that people use to say eating beef is fine.

The local cow that you knew (and will eat half of), and the couples having a good time on video are not the majority by a long shot. It's a fig leaf that, at times, is grounded in reality, but often isn't what people are consuming.

They're bundled together because that's the majority of consumption. I'm not going to shame people for it; hell, I had a hamburger yesterday. That's simply what the majority pay for - the product that's created in an environment lots of people aren't comfortable talking about, and generally don't want to see.
Interesting. But, TBH, it seems pretty obvious in the hindsight: it's a huge red flag that the travel history in the same passport is not self-consistent (as a result of using different passports for entering and leaving the same country).
I think this link has been posted before. The conditions for using coal for steam power were pretty unique. They were using it in larger amounts for heating, it was plentiful and easily accessible, but getting slightly harder. The fuel was right at the location where they needed to move things and pump water, so it didn't matter that the first machines were wildly inefficient. And then iteration upon iteration. It must have been an exciting time for those seeing the changes happen, although it wasn't fast by our standards today.

The Roman Empire didn't have this confluence of circumstances. The question is, was the IR inevitable?
FWIW my conversation with randomdata in this chain has been equally baffling and strange. I actually think that account is a bot.

Or we could actually build slower, safer streets that are that way by design, rather than relying on signs.

> Prison removes people from society. That should be the only time it is needed -- when someone can't be reintegrated.

I'd argue that once we've hit that point, why bother with keeping the person alive at all? If they truly cannot be reintegrated into society, there is a simpler solution than indefinitely locking them into a facility.
I understand your emotion but perhaps people simply don't value human lives.

At least putting a number to life is an genuine attempt even though it may be distasteful.

The fact is that there already is a number on it, which one can derive entirely descriptively without making moral judgements. Insurance companies and government social security offices already attempt to determine the number.

The number is not infinite or we'd have no cars.

Battery prices are only a problem for the short term. We’re already starting to see batteries becoming so cheap that people buy batteries with 100s of Wh or even kWhs just for camping or other occasional uses. We’re starting to enter a world where batteries of significant size is becoming ubiquitous.

For an application like this, I don’t think the battery itself is a very big proportion of the total cost. A big part of a home/backup/travel energy system is the power electronics/inverter. But I’m guessing for an induction stove top they can share some of the inverter power electronics with the electronics needed to drive the induction coils. I know there’s innovations in EVs (Hyundai?) where they use the motor coils as power filters used for the inverter that gives you 220V power for V2L or V2G. I wouldn’t be surprised if the induction coils of the stove top was used in a similar way.

In other words, fundamentally speaking it should be possible to make this way, way cheaper than a separate induction stove top and home battery backup system.

Maybe it won’t be cheap in the short term. Gotta pay back the R&D costs with those early adopters willing to pay a premium for a unique solution. But there’s reason to be optimistic about the long term.
Yep, and that's fine with me. I don't have a problem with basic auth.
(1) I was earning over triple what I had been earning just a couple years earlier, so it was hard to sympathize with people who felt that still wasn't enough.

(2) It is very unpleasant to know that what you are doing day in and day out adds no value to anyone else's life and is just busywork to trick the system into giving you a paycheck. It's not that different from being on unemployment and having to do the busywork of proving you applied to N jobs per week.
As someone often on the receiving end of that money... It's complicated. My organization is doing a lot of great things and it's appreciated both nationally and internationally. Some of that work is funded from EU grants (including H2020 before).

But the problem with research is... it's hard to predict where it takes you. At some point you realize that the project you got funding for is a dead end, but you can do a really cool spinoff that becomes successful but is not technically the same project.

Another problem with research is that a lot of it is exploitation. You can't get a grant for just exploring random things and seeing what happens. But at the same time is a vital part of research - so official grants need to fund a lot of "underground" research, that may or may not mature into an official product. It's hard to estimate is a money is well spent by looking just at the official projects.

... And yes, many of projects are actually wasteful. Bureaucrats are really bad at estimating what counts as a valuable project and what is actually a sham moneygrab. In our case we are known for delivering so we often "win" when we start, but often random shell companies with the hype of the week come dangerously close.

How does setting a speed limit "too low" make a road more dangerous?
I'm not a big expert but honestly this read like a bunch of garbage.

> Although Channel Files end with the SYS extension, they are not kernel drivers.

OK, but I'm pretty sure usermode software can't cause a BSOD. Clearly something running in kernel mode ate shit and that brought the system down. Just because a channel file not in kernel mode ate shit doesn't mean your kernel mode software isn't culpable. This just seems like a sleezy dodge.
> Heat pumps are so efficient that you can take the gas you were going to burn in homes to heat them, burn it in generators (losing about 50%), send it across long wires (losing a few percent more) and still come out ahead.

Coming out ahead by a few percent still means you need to displace the large majority of the current heating load with some form of electrical generation that can reliably supply a large amount of power at night.

> If you only need to do that at night, you're another 2x ahead.

You're not, because the significant majority of heating load is at night, because it's colder at night. Also, the night is longer than the day in the coldest parts of winter, and that's the time you need to spec the grid to be able to handle.

That doesn't mean we shouldn't electrify heating, but it means we're probably better off generating that electricity with nuclear, which is reliable and generates power at all times, than trying to somehow use solar to supply nighttime power in winter.
I've heard people argue that its both too aggressive and too conservative. I'm in the too conservative camp, we need to figure things out sooner than 100 years and the risk of a feedback loop is high with methane.

Its fine to assert that a single number doesn't capture the nuances of the situation. But we have to keep in mind that

1) the heat trapped by the methane stays trapped even after it has decayed

2) methane concentrations in the atmosphere are increasing significantly faster than co2

3) the more methane in the atmosphere the slower its rate of decay

This implies that the only road users are cars and that vehicle volume is fixed. Factors like vehicle speed, modal mix, lane widths, and parking geometry all affect the safety profile of a street. "Cars passing by" is too lossy a metric to be relevant. Decreasing vehicle volume is always an option.
