Is just one possible model for computation. How deep our reliance on it is just makes it another of those normalizers that round off analog buzz we seem to prefer as analog meat suits.

Society is in a Goodharts Law phase; the last 50-60 years are increasingly seen as a shit measure for planning the future.

Achievement using computers as we know them is tapped out due to physical limitations. Technical success there is too specific an output to be generally applicable.

All the talk in IT about not making monoliths and the biggest portion industry is just 3 cloud providers, Python, Linux, network stacks, and the JS ecosystem.

Ignorant business machine tech is dead to gen pop who are tired of giving up their time to tap on bullshit. It’s best put to real science and management of material logistics.
Why would it do that? How would a ransomware demand come up on it? Honestly, please tell me because this sounds utterly outlandish to me.
My last comment was solely made to point out that this article is a garbage article.

As for competitors and the dangers of supply chain attacks, I'm with you.
[off-topic] does anyone here who regularly uses a debugger (even just breakpoints and watchers in their IDE) use it for async execution? I've never tried, but I'm just trying to think how all that jumping around the executor and any runtime would work (if at all).
Their logo is really pretty too!
You are right Microsoft are not checking the 3rd party code itself they are only running a lot of tests on the compiled code.

There is a recent video now from a former Microsoft employee where he explains that those drivers that get WHQL certification are ran on test machines in stress conditions for some time, or at least that is how it used to be when he worked there.

Since that process is probably quite slow to be able to push update within a couple hours Crowdstrike just bypassed the QA testing by injecting their own data files into the driver.
the fact that they were able to make that pact is probably because they're not miles apart and Corbyn couldn't get that to happen. e.g. I don't think I could ever have voted for him given his attitude on Ukraine but I could have voted for Starmer if that was what made sense in my area.
-g 52 = at the latest every 52nd frame will be a key-frame(so little over 2 seconds at 24 fps), this influences seeking(how long an image might have artifacts before it renders properly). there are no two conflicting audio channels settings. the -ar is audio sampling rate(data points per second) whereas -maxrate:a is bitrate(actual bits of data per second). the yuv is good point, i guess i is a safe-guard for exotic input. also, copying the audio might be worth it, although then i would end up with mixed output files where one might be original aac and another might be opus. so i think i prefer the uniform output over some saving in processing.
They might to sone extent yet it's definitely not their focus.
Whoever downvoted, could you at least elaborate why?
this looks amazing. will give it a try
Billions is probably an underestimate.

When you factor on the time spent in meetings discussing endlessly what to do about this in corporations around the world, besides the cancelled flights and banking and hospital and 911 mayhem, a trillion isn't indefensible.

Who needs North Korean hackers?
I mean, we've seen impacts of these unstaged updates in the deeper layers of banks, airports and hospitals. It's unfair that CrowdStrike gets more than half the blame here.

Not to mention, probably half these companies were actually forced to install this. Getting SOC2 is essentially letting a senior-branded KPMG or EY intern tell you how to enforce security policies based on their checklist.

There is far more to blame in this incident than CrowdStrike themselves.
Are you saying that rare earth metals have no part to play in a renewable future?

There will be no electronics, controllers, et al as part of battery grids, electric cars, etc?

The simple point being made is that millions of tonnes of radioactive waste arises from one single rare earth processing plant. There are many and the demand for more is rising.

Solar isn't waste free either:

https://www.power-technology.com/features/recycling-renewabl...

Arguments made on the line of raioactive waste is unique to nuclear power are poor arguments made in bad faith or ignorance.
Which non-stimulant medication do you have in mind?
I don't have a lot of deep experience here, but I registered by first domain the old fashioned way, send an email, get an invoice from NetworkSolutions, and mail it back with a check. And I setup two low volume OpenSRS reseller accounts for two companies in 2000, IIRC.

Registrar markup is not really that much. As I understand it, PIR, the operator of the .org registry charges registrars $9.05 / domain year [1], and low cost registrars typically charge end users $10 / domain year. I know there was a dust up over PIRs management recently, but I don't remember the details and couldn't find them in a quick look; if these aren't the actual numbers, they're pretty close. After payment processing, costs of included registrar provided services, customer service and operations, there's not really huge profits being made by registrars; providing service as a pass through at direct cost wouldn't be that compelling.

You'd need some other reason to encourage people to use your services, but I'm not sure what that would be. I've used specialty registrars at work, and they've got features like presence services where they have real people in the jurisdiction that satisfy the requirements of TLDs that require someone in the country to register a domain and corporate registrars that will work with the registry to enable registry locking that makes it incredibly difficult to change domain settings [2]. These are compelling features for the right kind of customer, but I don't think it makes sense for a non-profit to provide them.

[1] https://itp.cdn.icann.org/en/files/registry-agreements/org/o...

[2] We moved to one of those after the current flavor of Network Solutions was phished and an unauthorized person used a customer service account to change our domain's glue records as well as some others; with registry lock, no changes can be made by the registrar unless the registry unlocks the domain after doing a song and dance routine with the end customer --- not very convenient, especially when the authorized person ignores the call to dance, but better than when a registry employee can get phished and change our domain without our consent

Eventually, yes, but I don't think that's what they meant. The universe is far from thermal equilibrium :)

If you push a stone up a hill, then some of the calories you burned went into the gravitational potential energy of the stone, and some up it was lost as heat.

If you compute the SHA hash of some string, then some of of the energy from the power supply went into switching the voltages in transistors, and some of it was lost as heat.

It is primarily aimed at workstations, although it does run and is run on servers. The idea is to be able to identify malware based on behaviour, rather than rely on signatures.

EDR solutions hook into the kernel to log, and block system calls. They use this information to try and generically identify malware. For example you could detect ransomware by identifying a process that is enumerating a large number of files, reading from those files, and then saving those files.

For a SOC, you can also use an EDR to identify files, hashes, connections to given IPs across your fleet of servers. This can allow you to see what devices have been compromised. The EDR can then isolate them, by blocking network syscalls and allow only the SOC to access to investigate and remediate.

This is the value they provide (or at least claim to) to a cyber team
That's true.

But it's also true that companies depending on more or less random third parties to provide them with kernel modules for a monolithic kernel - and then giving them control over auto-updating those kernel modules - is beyond dumb.
That and the election for the President is functionally independent of the House and Senate elections because they’re serving terms and controlling Congress does not mean controlling the Presidency and vice versa. In the UK, y’all put the leader of the majority party (or the leader of the senior partner in a coalition) in Parliament as your Head of Government which is essentially a selection process which is an internal party affair; and your Head of State is of course the King. I think for most Parliamentary systems (with or without a Monarchy), the Prime Minister or equivalent thereof is chosen similarly.

I'd like to see a proper journalistic investigation into every other EDR sensor on Linux as well. I really hate it when supposed journalists look for an angle and pursue it without critical thinking.

But they could be right, they may have an issue in their engineering department recently.

Speaking of,I wanted to mention a slightly related observation I've had recently scrolling through twitter (unfortunately) looking for information on this crisis. There are a lot of people who at least know enough technical jargon to probably work in IT or technology but they're using arguments like "it must be because of a DEI hire", for those who are unaware they're using "DEI" as a replacement for a hard-r N-word. In other words, I just learned that blatant racists are not a rarity in our corner of the world. If you're not one of them, I wanted to inform you of what they really mean. Fortunately I haven't seen this on HN so far :)
I didn’t get to read the article yet - but loading it is crashing Firefox and Safari on my IPhone - haven’t seen that happen in a while!
...but it's superpower is that Grafana can put metric panels right beside error log panels. If a graphs show you a spike in errors, you zoom in on the spike and the error logs panel zooms to the same period. So it's like cat/grep with a visual cue.
>The current cost for EndeavorRx is $99 for a 30 day prescription.

Why is everything subscription based nowadays? Even without a subscription $99 would seem a lot to me. I guess because something something server costs and update development? Or is it just plain greed?

PS: Programming is absolutely fantastic, too, when you have ADHD (an probably even if you don't have it). It also doesn't cost a dime and there is plenty of content available for free. Might give that one a shot! Works wonders for me
This sounds much less efficient than the current proposed path of electrolyzing hydrogen?

Direct air capture of carbon has, as I understand, extremely low efficiency. What would be the benefit of capturing carbon over making hydrogen?
> This is a benefit, because running a registry is a technical business, and running a registrar is a customer service business.

I’ve registered and managed domains for my businesses for 20+ years now and I have never once been in contact with a registrar’s customer service. I want a registrar that runs like a technical business. My main problem with them is that they all turn into leaches when they are successful – charging more and more for renewals, filling their websites with more and more spammy “products”.
Seems to me there’s some linguistic and situational irony at play in the first scored by women being scored by the Flying Swordsmen, but very well done, that woman.

My own summary and collection of information about the problems with the Unlicense: https://chrismorgan.info/blog/unlicense/

The whole point of those systems is catching actual behaviours, not patching/firewalling per se (though they do some level of permission management on some platforms).

For example, patching nginx is not going to help if your user gets phished of an suth token that was explicitly supposed to let them run code on the server - bit catching that the code started browsing files elsewhere and sending data out will help you notice the breach.
Except there is no grep? You can’t just type a search into the box on an unindexed field can you? It’s a bit more like Prometheus in that stuff has to be labelled and you just get all of it? Or am I using it wrong?

Show HN: ResumeAI, AI-powered Resume Builder (get your resumes done in seconds!)
Hey everyone,

I'm self-taught dev from France. I'd like to share and receive your feedback on ResumeAI, which is a project I've been working on because I was frustrated with the traditional resume building process. I especially got tired of multiple input fields for all the resume builders out there. So I built a solution to generate fully formatted CVs out of a single text area. It's also possible to use your own voice in order to describe your experiences, projects, etc from just natural language (my app is using the whisper LLM under the hood).

For now you can try it for free, just refresh the page if you see the paywall in order to try again. AI rewrites for now are unlimited. I've got a bunch of templates ready and more are on the way.

Please visit https://resumeai.app/ to let me know what you guys think!
> Are you saying that rare earth metals have no part to play in a renewable future?

Where did I say that? You just gave examples of two things that don’t typically use rare earths.
(a bit of blathering here...)

The whole "intuition" thing is a hard push from historical, pre-scientific method and really you don't want to go there. Letting science be dictated by "intuition" is massively wrong, so while I agree that those involved in husbandry are going to be closer to the fact than those displaced, at the same time you cannot use intuition to validate truth.

Bear in mind that "intuition" can also be steeped in "because God says so, of course!"

Back to additional, historical schisms.

I recall being taught how "mankind" was "separate from animals". In the Christian bible, man was created in "god's image", separate and entirely outside of the scope of the rest of the world, and the life forms inhabiting it.

Book for Genesis and all that.

Anyhow the logic was that animals were one thing, and that "mankind" was NOT an animal. This made it easier for those steeped in a religious upbringing, but isolated from animal husbandry, to just mentally agree. I imagine, with a huff, 'But animals are NOT the same', and so on.

This also one of the reasons as to why evolution was so strongly fought. After all, "god said humans are separate from animals" and thus "we are not animals!! heresy!! no we did NOT come from animals!"

I honestly feel that we need more "this is how our ancestors thought" training in school, without the "let's present it in a poor light" or "good light" or any modification at all. There's so much work being done to re-factor historical fact into something palatable to the masses, and it just hurts all of us. We are nothing without understanding our own past.

We must always examine our culture with an eye to the past, and historical beliefs in the past, for us to truly understand why things are as they are now. And, why we believe what we believe now. Even with the majority of "Western" people somewhat detached from traditional religious upbringings, there is an immense cultural history and backload there, which permeates every aspect of our society.
Sure, but also Italians make ice cream somewhat differently than Americans (at least, different proportions of the ingredients are more widespread).

"Gelato" can be both the Italian word for "ice cream" and be something different from what is typically referred to as "ice cream" in the US, no?
it has a thick texture but it is not as chewy as mochi. on the other hand it is very pliable and has a distinct taste both due to use of salep.
Harris will be fine but unremarkable. Middle of the road economic policy, with slightly more protectionism for high tech. Immigration policy continues as-is, with a slight increase in preventing illegal immigration. An Obama-like foreign policy, with good intentions, but bumbling in execution.

Compare that to Trump's recorded: Exploded deficits due to tax cuts. Banning abortion. More power given to corporations over people. Harming our alliances. Maybe you disagree with this characterization, but so many people that he chose for his administration came out and said how terrible of a President he was.

I'm not a Kamala fan, but the choice is so easy.
>After all, who exactly would benefit from such a nefarious scheme to crash windows computers?

Russia or China would certainly benefit from the ability to do this at a time of their choosing, and it's possible they could have an agent inside Crowdstrike, especially given China's history of industrial espionage.
How is it production ready if you need a separate docker to administer it, and a kubernetes cluster for the whole shebang.

It produces very little long term nuclear waste whose overall impact is invisible compared to impact of other industries and landfills
The correct lesson is to stop introducing more vulns into your systems by running "security" products. Crowdstrike was just an outage but could have just has easily been Solarwinds 2.0.

Crowdstrike is probably less bad than the alternatives that I have run into that are largely developed by very low cost engineers cough TrendMicro cough but even so, they aren't NT kernel engineers nor do they have the NT kernel release process.

Companies need to find ways to live without this crap or this will keep happening and it will be a lot worse one day. Self-compromising your own systems with RATs/MDMs/EDR/XDR/whatever other acronym soup needed to please the satanic CISSPs are just terrible ideas in general.
I would be surprised if even 10% of people taking therapeutic doses of stimulant ADHD meds experience euphoria. IME the noticeable effect of taking 10mg of methylphenidate was that I could stand in my open plan office and not have every word of a dozen conversations invade my consciousness constantly. If I was working in an environment designed to allow people to focus on their work, I probably would not have noticed any effects at all.
No, you may not.
Well the beautiful thing about software engineering is that pretty much everything is possible, it essentially boils down to "but should you really"? :-)

This is actually the most important thing happening with EDR as a concept, it handles novel cases that have never been seen before, with a human review very quickly. Our csirt has an SLA of 3 minutes.

It's right there in the name acronym. Detection and Response.
It's an interesting case study in that people's perception of "who won" determines "who won".

However, if you change the criteria to "who had the most favorable impact on undecided voters" then apparently he lost? The news was Trump lost undecided voters from that debate..

So Trump won because everyone thinks he won(including me haha). But what did he win?
Hmm, these aren't quite the same though, are they?

I was under the impression that ultimately none of that voltage change ends up as anything other than heat. (Despite voltage being "electric potential", that's only really meaningful in e.g., capacitors and batteries, not in circuits that keep switching.)
You’re correct; I was thinking of H.264. The Pi 5 still has a 4Kp60 HEVC decoder.

I wonder if OP will accept a PR for such a change. Your proposal is much readable and flexible (it's not clear from the docs if you can add random time ranges together). Plus, you'll be able to create your own ranges like `1.decade` or `1.application_timeframe` and add/subtract them.

What a friend from Japan explained to me (Sam), was that in order to deter the crows and rats, Japanese authorities developed the perfect, slickest surface known to humanity. And it worked! Rats could not climb the sides of the cans, and crows would slip and fall when they landed.

It was a good time for Japan, but unfortunately there was a horrible side effect.

No one could get a hold of the cans, to empty them.

Soon trash overflowed the cans, just as you said! Admitting defeat, the cans were eventually blown to pieces. This explains why Japan has trash on the streets, and why Japan had overflowing trash cans.

But this is all fixed now. As you know, Japan has no litter, and no one would ever stoop so low as to liter on purpose.

That doesn't allow for the possibility of hardware and software co-evolving. In particular, that doesn't allow hardware to get better by providing ways to run common software operations faster.
And let’s be honest they’re just torturing people with no positive outcome. The net effect is you have a poorer, more frustrated patient, who has this stupid game burned into their memories.
My point was there are more sustainable options, than repeating a detrimental pattern of leaving problems for our grandchildren to solve.

There is also the folly of assuming centralized distribution grids are economically sustainable in times of scarcity.
