I chart codes on my EPCR, in the PT's house, almost everyday with one hand. Not joking about the one hand either.

Its easier, faster, and more accurate than writing in my experience. We have a page solely dedicated to codes and the most common interventions. Got IO? I press a button and its documented with timestamp. Pushing EPI, button press with timestamp. Dropping an I-Gel or Intubating, button press... you get the idea.

The details of the interventions can be documented later along with the narrative, but the bulk of the work was captured real-time. We can also sync with our monitors and show depth of compressions, rate of compressions and rhythms associated with the continuous chest compression style CPR we do for my agency.

Going back to paper for codes would be ludicrous for my department. The data would be shit for a start. Hand writing is often shit and made worse under the stress of screaming bystanders. Depending on whether we achieved ROSC or not would increase the likelihood of losing paper in the shuffle

According to Wikipedia the first section, which includes Fresno, is currently expected to commence service in 2030-2033. Hope you have another trip before then!

Don’t feel too bad though. I’m simply waiting for them to continue the Bay Bridge bicycle path from Yerba Buena Island to San Francisco (completing the Oakland to SF bicycle path) and that’s also not slated for completion till 2030.
Both of these cases were decided against the defendant, and more to the point, both of these cases concern the police setting up a camera specifically pointed at the front of someone's home.

That is quite literally on the dividing line between public and private space. I can easily imagine later courts ruling that the combination of specific intention on the part of the police, and the limitless nature of this surveillance, makes it different in kind from the classic stakeout (which does not require a warrant, and never has), and that therefore that in particular requires a warrant to be obtained. I don't think that will happen, but it's imaginable.

You're talking about a truck driving around with a camera, and sharing that data on request with law enforcement. That's a completely different thing, and it isn't an edge case at all. That is, and will be, not subject to 4th Amendment protection. On the contrary, Fields v. City of Philadelphia supports a 1st Amendment right to film in public, in that case, the conduct of the police. But the principle generalizes.

Furthermore, as an example, let's say that a repairman enters a home, and sees what he or she reasonably believes to be a brick of heroin on a desk. Later, the police, having staked out this home, ask that repairman if they happened to see something suspicious. The repairman tells the police about the brick, they get a warrant, and enter the home. All of this is completely legal.

So there's just no world in which a FedEx truck, or any truck, filming the public space in the ordinary course of doing what it does (delivering packages in this case), where the police later ask for and obtain that record, is going to be subject to 4th Amendment restrictions. It is simply, on many levels, not how things work.
Delivering unsolicited packages to company mailrooms?
let's consider the possibility that people might disagree with you for reasons other than being dishonest. for example, i disagree with you because you're completely wrong on the facts, as i explained in my grandparent comment. unlike you, i'm not going to accuse you of dishonesty; possibly you are just ignorant (and aggressive) rather than mendacious

worse, though, you're using your ignorance to promote a vile ideology: the ideology of disempowering users in the name of ease of use. what you're advocating here is the strawman that people sometimes use to criticize guis: not powerful guis like excel, blender, solidworks, godot, photoshop, and autocad which empower users in ways that transcend the limitations of character-cell terminals, but glorified menu systems like mainstream android apps, which reduce users to passive consumers or machine operators

being a machine operator, manually telling a machine what to do over and over again, can be enjoyable and rewarding, as in riding a bicycle, driving a sports car, or your example of piloting a concorde (although you don't actually know any concorde pilots or you'd be aware there haven't been any concorde pilots in 20 years; interpreting you with extreme charity, perhaps you only meant this as a metaphorical explanation of what text-mode uis look like to you). but it must be voluntary, because it's an economically low-productivity activity; when you condemn people to be machine operators, you are condemning them to material poverty. bicycle messengers and taxi drivers do not have easy lives

computers permit people to automate machine operation, which enormously increases economic productivity. that's what we need. things like bash facilitate that, and things like android actively prevent it. good guis like godot's are in the first category, not the second

Are no-code website builders worth it?
I have been noting down ideas to work on as a side project for a while now. Although none of them have seen a day of light. I am thinking instead of debating on the stack, maybe I should just use no-code website builder to get some of theses ideas going.

Has anyone seen success with them? I feel its better to put something out thn nothing at all.
Once they are taken to court and all their crap gets subpoena'd I think we might find that reasonable precautions were not taken.

Its possible that this update was never properly QA'd and was just rushed out the door. If thats the case then it could be found to be negligence, and no amount of legal jargon protects you from negligence. It could be the end of CrowdStrike. /end fud.
They're probably deployed to a virtualized system to easy with maintenance and upkeep.

Updates are partially necessary to ensure you don't end up completely unsupported in the future.

It's been a long time, but I worked IT for an auto supplier. Literally nothing was worse than some old computer crapping out with an old version of Windows and a proprietary driver. Mind you, these weren't mission critical systems, but they did disrupt people's workflows while we were fixing the systems. Think, things like digital measurements or barcode scanners. Everything can be easily done by hand but it's a massive pain.

Most of these systems end up migrated to a local data center than deployed via a thin client. Far easier to maintain and fix than some box that's been sitting in the corner of a shop collecting dust for 15 years.
The docs are better now (eg https://clojure-doc.org/articles/cookbooks/files_and_directo... ) but you still need to follow a Javadoc link every now and then for the full story.

The Creatan stuff is raki, not rakı. Both the pronunciation (ı is 'uh') and beverage are different. Rakı is the basically the same drink as ouzo or pastis. Raki is the same as grappa.
The early Sony Android phones were available in stores. I remember the first smartphone I got was a Sony, and, compared to a friend's Samsung, it was really lovely, great screen, better feeling build quality. Maybe they never competed on price? I didn't even think about the brand back then, just chose the nicest one in the store.

Isn't that what AI training is in general? It has worked pretty well so far.

I dont think img-gen AI is ever going to "understand physics", but that isn't the task at hand. I don't think it is neccesary to understand physics to make good fake pictures. For that matter, i dont think understanding physics would even be a good approach to the fake picture problem.

This is really cool, but the narrative also has a few strong "Wait this is creepy" moments... There is a lot of creating problem solving and some awesome creations sprinkled in. But damn would I both love and hate to get one of those deliveries.

They cloned people with AI tools and created a bunch of deep-fakes which they then delivered to that person.

They used a (self made) list of dead people to improve targeted ads so they could cohort-advertise to a small list of people.

They created fake uniforms to deliver packages to offices, and seemed pretty successful.

I feel like this would make a great case study on targeted phishing and social-engineering.

Certifications and compliance regimes are what got us into this mess in the first place.
I think you have it flipped. Any clause in a contract is a negotiation. Warranties and insurance coverage are part of it.

Any smart CIO would have said - ill take what you sell but if you fail i can come back and haunt you and you are going to give me endorsement for your product insurance and i'll require upping your coverage + notifications of you being up to date with your insurance policy that has 50XXX M in coverage, minimum.

If the software is sitting on top of your business core IT, you must protect the business in its entirety by demanding a proportional shield, and using IT vendor's own IT insurance shield as if it was your own. And demanding more coverage, if the shield is too small . Then once those elements are in place, you are protected. Its as simple as that.

They won’t. If crowdstrike was an individual or a state there would be repercussions. But this will all be a forgotten memory in two weeks or less.
Without delving into any kind of specific conspiratorial thinking, I think people should also include the possibility that this was malicious. It's much more likely to be incompetence and hubris, but ever since I found out that this is basically an authorized rootkit, I've been concerned about what happens if another Solarwinds incident occurs with Crowdstrike or another such tool. And either way, we have the answer to that question now: it has extreme consequences.
We really need to end this blind checkbox compliance culture and start doing real security.

This is the opposite of claiming that people should become more moral. This is setting rules. They shouldn't be set around "morality," they should be set around established civil liberties.

This.

Anyone involved in designing and/or deploying a system where an application outage threatens life safety, should be charged with criminal negligence.

>And the general public doesn't care.

The general public doesn't care about corruption if it doesn't affect them directly and if their basic needs are met. As long as the valuation of their housing keeps going up and so is their pension, they don't care what corrupt shit those in power are doing. It's the "fuck you I got mine" human mentality.
For text classification/clustering/retrieval I am pretty happy with BERT-family models. It's only the last few month that I've seen better models come out that are practical (e.g. not sell all your children to Open AI to afford them)
There's not enough public information about it - but taking this talking point at face value, Microsoft did sign their kernel driver in order for it to be able to do this kind of damage. It's not publicly documented what all validation they do as part of the certification and signing process:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/i...

The damage may have been done in a dependency which was not signed by Microsoft. Who knows? Hopefully we'll find out.

In general, a fair amount of the bad behavior of windows devices since Vista has been really about poorly written drivers misbehaving, so there appears to be value in that talking point. All the Vista crashes after release (according to some sources, 30% of all Vista crashes after release were due to NVidia drivers), notably, and more recently if you've ever tried to put your Windows laptop to sleep, and discovered when you take it out of your bag that it had promptly woken back up and cooked itself into having a dead battery. (Drivers not properly supporting sleep mode) WHQL has some things to answer for for sure.

It looks basically exactly like the Wireshark UI, but it's a TUI. So if I need some more interactivity than tcpdump, I use termshark instead.
Rather than an outage, this is a national internet kill switch being used to deny the population access to information and the ability to organize.

Because the supreme court reinstated a law that reserves a whopping 30% of all government jobs to only people with family members who fought in a war 50 years ago. As anyone could have trivially predicted, that doesn't sit well with the entire generation that's currently in school and hoping to actually, you know, get a job in the next few years.

Not to be that guy, but I often say software engineering as a field should have harsher standards of quality and certainly liability for things like these. You know like civil engineers, electrical engineers and most people whose work could kill people if done wrongly.

Usually when I write this devs get all defensive and ask me what the worst thing is that could happen.. I don't know.. Could you guarantee it doesn't involve people dying?

Dear colleagues, software is great because one persons work multiplies. But it is also a damn fucking huge responsibility to ensure you are not inserting bullshit into the multiplication.

Maybe this is pie-in-the-sky thinking, but if all the businesses used some sort of desktop variant of Android, the Crowdstrike app (to the extent that such a thing would even be necessary in the first place) would be sandboxed and wouldn't have the necessary permissions to bring down the whole operating system.

I had a similar idea. I was working with some complex recursive functions and it was impossible to figure out what was going on. Trying to parse through 1000 console logs was nearly impossible so I had the idea of rendering the function call stack and attaching the logs to where in the stack it was called from and rendering it as an interactive graph.

Its mostly just a demo but I think something like this a standard tool would be really helpful.

Ask HN: How old a project can I include on a CV?
I'm nearly a PhD graduate in a computational-but-not-CS-field working on my CV for the job market.

I'm aiming to go into data science and have a lot of academic projects involving stats/machine learning/data wrangling, but am lacking on the SQL front.

I have one project that I worked on a few years back showcasing my skills in SQL, web development, etc which garnered a decent GitHub following with roughly 250 stars and 75 forks.

However, the project is on a separate GitHub profile from my main academic one, and the last update feels a bit old (four years ago). Should I include it? If so, by re-uploading it to my main profile?

I'd appreciate any insights on the best way to approach this situation!
Why Crowdstrike doesn't follow standard deployment strategies such as canary or rolling? Gradual update would uncover this bug before reaching critical mass. Doing all-at-once update is unacceptable to critical systems.
Get a user besides yourself who cares.
So there was apparently an Azure outage prior to this big one. One thing that is a pretty common pattern in my company when there are big outages is something like this:

1. Problem A happens, it’s pretty bad

2. A fix is rushed out very quickly for problem A. It is not given the usual amount of scrutiny, because Problem A needs to be fixed urgently.

3. The fix for Problem A ends up causing Problem B, which is a much bigger problem.

tl;dr don’t rush your hotfixes through and cut corners in the process, this often leads to more pain
That depends on how many users are aware of the AI content.

As much as the authors would want to honor people that were important for them. Is their privilege as discoverers to choose a name.

Carl Thunberg 1743-1828 was a Swedois called the father of the South African botanic. His work studying African and Japanese plants was huge. If his name is in 250 species is because he did a huge effort to advance zoology and botany. He did enough merits and helped enough people to deserve the honor to be remembered. Science is all about being a meritocracy for the benefit of the humanity.
