This seems to be misinformation? The CrowdStrike KB says this was due to a Linux kernel bug.

---

Linux Sensor operating in user mode will be blocked from loading on specific 6.x kernel versions

Published Date: Apr 11, 2024
Symptoms

In order to not trigger a kernel bug, the Linux Sensor operating in user mode will be prevented from loading on specific 6.x kernel versions with 7.11 and later sensor versions.

Applies To
Linux sensor 7.11 in user mode will be prevented from loading:

For Ubuntu/Debian kernel versions:

6.5 or 6.6

For all distributions except Ubuntu/Debian, kernel versions:

6.5 to 6.5.12

6.6 to 6.6.2

Linux sensor 7.13 in user mode will be prevented from loading:

For Ubuntu 22.04 running the 6.5 kernel:

6.5.0 - 6.5.0-1014-aws
6.5.0- 6.5.0-1015-azure
6.5.0 - 6.5.0-1014-gcp
6.5.0 - 6.5.0-24-generic
6.5.0 - 6.5.0-1015-oem
Ubuntu kernel version:

6.6 to 6.6.2
For Debian kernel version:

6.5 to 6.5.12

6.6 to 6.6.2

For all distributions except Ubuntu/Debian, kernel versions:

6.5 to 6.5.12

6.6 to 6.6.2

Linux Sensors running in kernel mode are not affected.

Resolution
CrowdStrike Engineering identified a bug in the Linux kernel BPF verifier, resulting in unexpected operation or instability of the Linux environment.

In detail, as part of its tasks, the verifier backtracks BPF instructions from subprograms to each program loaded by a user-space application, like the sensor. In the bugged kernel versions, this mechanism could lead to an out-of-bounds array access in the verifier code, causing a kernel oops.

This issue affects a specific range of Linux kernel versions, that CrowdStrike Engineering identified through detailed analysis of the kernel commits log. It is possible for this issue to affect other kernels if the distribution vendor chooses to utilize the problem commit.

The commit where the kernel bug was introduced is seen at https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/fde2a3882bd07876c14... and the commit that resolves the issue is seen at https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/4bb7ea946a370707315...

To avoid triggering a bug within the Linux kernel, the sensor is intentionally prevented from running in user mode for the specific distributions and kernel versions shown in the above section

These kernel versions are intentionally blocked to avoid triggering a bug within the Linux kernel. It is not a bug with the Falcon sensor.
Sensors running in kernel mode are not affected.

No action required, the sensor will not load into user mode for affected kernel versions and will stay on kernel mode.

For Ubuntu 22.04 the following 6.5 kernels will load in user mode with Falcon Linux Sensor 7.13 and higher:

6.5.0-1015-aws and later
6.5.0-1016-azure and later
6.5.0-1015-gcp and later
6.5.0-25-generic and later
6.5.0-1016-oem and later

If for some reason the sensor needs to be switched back to kernel mode:

Can you explain this in more detail?

Entropy is calculated as a function of a probability distribution over possible messages or symbols. The sender might have a distribution P over possible symbols, and the receiver might have another distribution Q over possible symbols. Then the "true" distribution over possible symbols might be another distribution yet, call it R. The mismatch between these is what leads to various inefficiencies in coding, decoding, etc [1]. But both P and Q are beliefs about R -- that is, they are properties of observers.

Snark/Glibness is not an argument. I have worked in Network Security and know for a fact that Kernel mode code is treated differently than User mode code in terms of scrutiny/testing/staging/release. Second, Crowdstrike is not just another anti-virus software; they are far more broader in scope/complex and hence their wide user base. Microsoft with their wide experience would have definitely processes in place to validate them comprehensively. Hence one should be cautious in taking this incident at face value and investigate everything thoroughly. I am almost sure multiple lawsuits are in the offing but am not so sure whether the full story will come out.

Well, Atmos adds significant complexity to the accurate reproduction of an audio mix because it has so many additional variables to control for.

However, you’re in luck. The center channel is reserved almost exclusively for the dialogue track in film and TV, so you should be able to turn it up and hear it more clearly without affecting anything else.
Depends on the reason why you are doing this transform. If it's just a visual correction filter, then that will work well enough. If you are trying to track camera movement on a series of images and match a 3D model to the footage, then it's not. You want to analyze the actual images the lens is producing and generate the distortion from that.
Every lens is different. Different setups with the same lens may produce different distortions. A warm lens behaves different than a cool lens. Change the focus, and the distortion may change (lens breathing). Some lenses exhibit different distortions at different zoom levels.

Ffi: you have a c api that exposes an item by ptr not by ref so it mustn't be moved.

Interacting with system types that rely on their address. Eg I think std uses a pin equivalent for mutex/futex on some operating systems because the kernel docs say the userland lock object must not change its address after initialization (even when not locked, which is normally the only condition and doesn’t need Pin because you can’t move something that has a reference to it).

Yeah, maybe. There have been a few analyses on this topic, and depending on the source, the live-in boyfriend or stepdad is somewhere between 2 and 8 times more likely than the biodad to physically or sexually abuse the kids.

If you're going to divorce the father in order to "find yourself" or whatever contrived excuse you need, you should at least take a vow of celibacy or something.
Off-the-shelf open source stuff is often the product of big companies open sourcing internal tools though. Airflow, which you name check, is a great example of this. Temporal is another example in the space. Someone has to be dumb enough to build new stuff

BTW I doubt the energy yield of an imploding sphere is anywhere close to a nuclear device, but implosion is a very rapid process, so its power output is indeed very high. Examples:

- Pistol shrimps create cavities whose collapse emits light.

When you really peel back the layers, you'll find that voters' instincts are that any means-tested program should come with a hefty punishment for using it. While they aren't exactly against helping, they definitely think the priorities are 1) Spending as little taxpayer dollars as possible, 2) Punishing any recipient of help enough to be a warning to others, and then, distantly, 3) Helping.
This makes me so tempted to get one of those whole genome tests. I had issues with anxiety from age 20 to 38. I was a regular drinker of coffee between the age 20 to 38. About a month after quitting I was finally able to yawn properly like I remember I was able to when I was young. Coffee overstimulates me I figure.

Amazon also has pretty explicit preference for SAML if you want to fine-grain certain things, it's much easier if you need to connect AWS to external SSO without going through AWS SSO (which, last time I checked, had to be "global" thing for whole fleet of accounts, which makes problems when you need some sub-accounts to have different SSOs)

A lot is explained by regional variation. For example, real mean wages in San Francisco are back where they were in 2017 [1].

When dealing with private equity, there are three things to remember:

1.) You may negotiate with them two or three times in your life. They negotiate with people two or three times a day. You are the least experienced and most vulnerable party.

2.) They are not your friends. They’ll pretend but they’re not. If you’re in music, think better paid A&R with fewer morals.

3.) If a term can sink a deal, they were never interested in signing. Adults can deal with disagreements without crashing the whole plane.
In this specific experiment, people earned $0.20 less for every $1 they were given mainly due to working fewer hours. Those hours were primarily shifted to leisure. (This is not a value statement, just what the study found.)
Correct my math if I'm wrong

6 people have 6 * (6 - 1) / 2 = 15 possible connections. If you toggle those off and on you have about 2 ^ 15 = 32,768 combinations.

Some of those are surely redundant but I don't know stats well enough to de-dupe them.

Either way I feel like it's higher than I can count in my head while also doing anything else mathematical
> similar to the System Restore feature in Windows and the Time Machine tool in Mac OS

This makes no sense! System Restore is a useless wart that just wastes time making "restore points" at every app/driver install and can rarely (if ever) produce a working system when used to "restore" anything. It does not back up user data at all. Time Machine is a whole-system backup solution that seems to work quite well and does back up user data.

To me the quoted statement might as well read "a tool similar to knitting needles (in hobby shops) and dremels (in machine shops)"

Reading their description further, it seems like they are implementing something similar to TimeMachine (within the confines of what linux makes possible), and not at all like "System Restore". This seems sane as this implements something that is actually useful. They, sadly, seem to gloss over what the consequences are of using non-btrfs FS with this tool, only mentioning that btrfs is needed for byte-exact snapshots. They do not mention what sort of byte-inexactness ext4 users should expect...

Musk has a storied history of lying through his teeth and has been investigated for it by the federal government in the past (FCC, SEC, etc). On top of that he just gave $45m to Trump, Harris's opponent, and Trump has publicly said that Musk was so desperate he would have kneeled down and begged Trump for support on his various business plans to get them.

There is enough there to warrant treating him not as an innocent but as a corrupt bad actor. He has motive, a criminal record, and statements by his own allies stating a lack of integrity.
Can you elaborate? What I see about Linux is that Crowdstrike was in the process of adopting eBPF which is ostensibly immune to kernel panics, but that issue shows their eBPF implementation specifically causing a kernel panic.

> People need to realize that code is a liability

This is an extreme point of view, that is tightly connected to the MBA-driven min-maxing of everything under the sun.

I am glad that there are folks who aren't afraid to code new systems and champion new ideas. Even in the corporate sense, mediocre risk averse solutions will only take you so far. The most profitable companies tend to be quite daring in their tech.

Code is not a liability. Code is what makes a company move its gears.

My (snarky) point is that I do not think LLMs have dramatically enabled the average person to grok (to gain a deep and intuitive understanding of) new topics, because I haven't observed the corresponding sea-change in (mostly online) people that I would expect to go with that.

To offer a competing hypothesis: LLMs are merely augmenting or replacing other routes that people may take to acquire facile knowledge. In addition, the fundamental way those tools operate limits them to imparting facile knowledge.

"I got a Hugo" is probably worth something in negotiations with traditional publishers; exactly which award is being stuffed is not mentioned. If you're up for, say, "Best Fan Writer" and are looking for a traditional publisher then it's starting to look attractive, if you can think of a clever way to cover the costs.

"Prove you voted for me and you get access to a big download of everything I made in the past decade, which would cost $300 to buy normally" comes to mind as a way to cover a chunk of that. Crowdfunding!

Yeah there are some interesting ideas in there and I respect the ideals of open debate and exploration of these topics, but this is by far the weakest part of the comment. I'm also finding it difficult to infer which tribe that is supposed to apply to - similar accusations are often lobbed at the blue tribe for supposedly wanting the state to act like a father, but I think performative masculinity in general speaks much more to a lack of strong male role models. So maybe it's better to assume the problem across the board, and perhaps only modulated by political tribe - the first comment on the original blog post speaks to the phenomenon even extending to other cultures.
