TBF I have less experience with Dynamics than the others, but yes they are all excellent.

I include Teams in that. I don't think there is another app on the market that does what Teams does. Integrated video conferencing, messaging, and file sharing in one place. All free with the office package my team already use and fully integrated with Azure AD for sso. I use it all day with zero problems. I honestly can't see why anyone would use anything else
No? Small claims court is a different branch of the court system.
It seems the affected update file seems to have been over written with 0s on the 42kb file, whereas the before and after sys files have obfuscated ays/config file info as expected.

I don't know if we need 8k video, but if it's going to be a feature it sure feels like we should have sd cards. This write-up is talking about 33GB/hr. Given the dinky ass 128GB that seems to be common, and given that the base install is often 30GB+, like, yeah, we need more storage. https://www.androidauthority.com/pixel-9-8k-more-storage-346...

MicroSD cards are fantastic & I'd want them anywhere. But man it's just so preposterous that they have so drastically outpaced phone's builtin storage. 0.5 or 1TB are basically unheard of on phones, but there's plenty of whole SSDs with far more components and cost selling for $50 or less. It's wild. What a supply side economics setup, so many companies all keeping the whole mobile market back, deliberately.
Bad and good arguments for industrial policy
It’s an absolute pleasure! I love seeing what people do with my words.
It is some mix of priorities along the frontier, with Apple being on the significantly controlling end such that I wouldn't want to bother. Your trust should also be based on prediction, and giving a major company even more control over what your systems are allowed to do has been historically bad and only gets worse. Even if Apple is properly ethical now (I'm skeptical, I think they've found a decently sized niche and that most of their users wouldn't drop them even if they moved to significantly higher levels of telemetry, due to being a status good in part), there's little reason to give them that power in perpetuity. Removing that control when it is absued hasn't gone well in the past.
This is why it is the responsibility (yes, responsibility) of every one of their coworkers, especially those more senior than them, to fight *HARD* to protect them.

This is part of the job of a senior.
Okay,not having historical data avaliable to make decision on what to put into a patient is understandable - but maybe also print critical stuff per patient once a day? - but not being able to log an action in realtime should not be a critical problem.
Yes, the efficiency gains of remote automated administration and deployment make up for most outages that are caused by it.

A better thing to do is do phased deployment, so you can see if an update will cause issues in your environment before pushing it to all systems. As this incident shows, you can’t trust a software vendor to have done that themselves.
Sewers can last millennia.

It's a binary format specific to Crowdstrike for delivering updates. It's not a DLL or a plain patch, it's their own file format. And they have a lot of different things in there (config, regularly updated data, instructions to download the next driver version, etc etc)
All the comments are asking why run Windows. CrowdStrike runs on macOS and Linux too. It’s just that this time, CrowdStrike fuck up on Windows. It doesn't mean CrowdStrike won't fuck up on other OS, and it seems like CrowdStrike fuck up on Linux as well. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41005936

I feel like we are better off running open-source software. Everyone can see where the mistakes are instead of running around like a chicken with its head cut off.
This guys PR team has been obviously working overtime in the last few months to make him the new musk. I’m taking note of all the organizations being paid to exhaustingly fawn over the cool new kid of death technology
It’s that easy. A hacker that controls the update terminal at crowdstrike controls the world?
Remote monitoring, analytics and diagnostics have a significant impact on uptime, utilisation and profitability. You're thinking in terms of a single machine, but the managers of machine shops are thinking in terms of a complex process across many machines and often across many sites. Some of that functionality could be delivered using an airgapped network, but a lot of important features essentially require an internet connection.
btw i strongly suggest working further on image analysis so the algorithm takes not only textual elements as an input but visual ones as well.
Remember the “Terminator” movies?

SkyNet, according to the story, was a lot like CrowdStrike. This makes me think about how it could have broken out of its sandbox. Everybody is using AI coding assistants, automated test cases, automated integration testing and deployment. Its objective is to pass all the tests and deploy. But now it has learned economic and military effects, so it has to triage and optimize for those, at which point it starts controlling the machines it’s tasked with securing.
And yet, of course it happens to Windows.
GDP is a poor signal because these huge middle class salaries for breadwinners in the US, Japan and S. Korea actually held gender balance back for decades. Wife will be expected to quit her job and dedicate herself to the family when her husband made five figures USD annually.

Countries where both sexes were expected to work, for the same ballpark of four figures salaries, and where child care / child leave were subsidied becase of said lowish salaries got a comparative gender balance advantage out of their mediocre economies.
SD cards do not increase the memory available to user applications. They are storage devices, even if the technology behind them has the word memory in the name.
This was the defining feature of the best MP3 player I ever owned. (I believe it was a Sanyo Sansa.) I wound up using it way more than the MP3 functionality. I was spoiled, living in NYC at the time, but there was/still is so much good content out there, if you spend the time to look (college, community, pirate, etc.).

It's depressing that such functionality is missing from modern devices. Entertainment value aside, it can be a lifeline in times of crisis/emergencies.
If there had been a QA process, the kill rate could not have been as high as it is, because there'd have to be at least one system configuration that's not subject to the issue.
Sounds like something a fuzzer likely would have found pretty quickly.
To run on AA batteries you'd probably have to go to microcontrollers like ESP32 which are way less powerful than that Intel device but also way more powerful than TRS-80. Assuming a power consumption of 0.25W for that SoC and basic 2000mAh AA batteries, a 4 AA battery setup could run the device for 48 hours.
Nothing personal taken. If I was something more than a hobbyist wrt to hardware, then I might.

I was having this conversation with someone the other day regarding GenAI. The expectations for understanding the lowest-level concerns have changed generationally. Today's hardware wizard might prize their old-school understanding of fundamentals but would probably be rubbish in 1948.
It's pretty random that an arbitrary number of reboots up to 15 times fixes the issue.

That sounds like there is either:

- some kind of upstream issue with deploying a fix (so most of the reboots are effectively no-ops relative to the fix)

- some kind of local reboot threshold before the system bypasses the bad driver file somehow.

The former I can see because of the complexity of update deployment on the internet, but if it's the latter then that's very non-deterministic behavior for local software.
Crowdstrike broke Red Hat and Debian earlier this year. There but for the grace of God. If you install software there runs in kernel space, you may have a really bad time when it breaks.
Yet another database engine. Why not just to use MongoDB? It supports sharding from the box

Zscaler is awful. It installs a root cert to act as a man-in-the-middle TCP traffic snooper. Probably does some other stuff, but all you TLS traffic is snooped with zscaler. It is creepy software, IMO.

There is some need to evolve as contexts change. Screen sizes and capabilities, computing speed, available bandwitdth etc.

Also humans seem to need fashion as a mechanism to show belonging and distinction. (Differentiate form parents generation, show affiliation to some sub culture, ...)

Yes that's the one sorry. I typed the comment hastily and didn't go back to edit it later.
Super cool, great job. Looks like a really fun project. This really highlights why sheet notation is so much better at describing music than tablature. The advantage of tabs is that they tell you which version of the same note to play (You can play the same note in up to 6 places in the guitar). However, sheet notation tells you precisely the duration of each note, and can often include the intended articulation. Writing music is fascinating, here is an excellent breakdown of different systems which have been developed, and how they came to be: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eq3bUFgEcb4
Edit; it appears my comment has been moved to a top level comment, i.e. peer with the parent without any way of telling what happened - so now there is the whole other pointless branch polluting the relevance of the tree.

Previously;

It appears that someone was able to take my previous comment in this thread completely off hacker news, it's not even listed as flagged. It was at 40pts before disappearing, perhaps there is some reputation management going on here. If it was against the site rules it would be helpful to know which ones.

Edit; the link is https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41007985 it was a high up comment that no longer appears even though flagged comments do appear. I checked if it has been moved but the parent comment is still the same. This feels like hellbanned in that there isn't an easy way for me to see if I've been shadowbanned. But I really don't know. I was commenting in good faith.

Yes, I agree that more players makes the theory at least extremely difficult and perhaps imponderable. That paper was interesting, thanks
Windows and BSODs maybe still are trigger words for me, but IMO they are not to blame.

Windows is the platform, CrowdStrike makes a product on this platform and their users willingly install, accept all the security prompts and use it. Short of Apple-style locking users out of their own devices, there is little they can do here.

I'm not well-versed in Windows enough to be able to tell if they provide better ways and safe APIs to achieve what CrowdStrike does, but even if they did, there is no telling if CrowdStrike or anyone else would use that or not.

> but I feel that good OS should prevent a 3rd party app to cause such damage

It does? It also allows the owner of the machine to bypass those preventions, which is what CrowdStrike seem to require for their product to function.

I think the "OS should protect me from myself" is a very iPad-style expectation from computers. Personally I'm happy there are OSes that don't work this way.

> Would it happen on Linux?

$ modprobe crap-mod

I guess it would.

Only for the loosers.
Changing the name of a species means that the species is not traceable anymore on the bibliography.

Not unless you memorize every single change first. This is not a trivial task and the trend of AI to invent facts could made it an impossible one in a few decades so is not a trivial problem.

Realizing that the species are the same can seem easy for popular well known species, but not all species are popular, and often several species share the same name for a while. Sometimes people forgets about a species that is depicted only in a particular article from 1800, but to know that your new species is really new you need to trace the original work.

I can tell you by experience that untangle this lines can became a hell real quick.

The burden that this move will put on the shoulders of overworking researchers will have an impact on the time available to new botanists to do science. This means a humongous number of lost hours of research work, when we need science focusing on rare species most.

Anything that delay advances of science, or will made the life of scientists even more miserable, should be dismissed or done by universal consensus on the scientific world, and much better justified. Period

Saying that "But this guy that studied this butterflies all this life, had slaves in 1810 so their name must be bleached from historical documents" will not harm slave owners.

It will harm --me-- and other people like me, and will harm the conservative efforts done on the species, sometimes even leading that organism to extinction. There are known cases.

Erasing parts of the history or bleaching names in a book is a road to totalitarian hell. Egyptians did it before. It just will block researchers in the future to know the truth or to understand the historical facts.
No less than three baskets, or you cannot apply for bailouts. If you want to argue your industry is a load-bearing element in the economy: no less than three baskets.
I think it's distinctly uncool that this was published as open source. OP should charge money from all the swines that will use the software, including people like me.
lol, yep, that was my take on this... If you need a computer to run an ACLS algorithm, something has gone seriously wrong.
The boot loop / BSOD issues are Windows specific.
Or... you know... This kind of software should be open source or companies using it should at least be able to audit the code themselves.

Supposedly they have all kinds of certifications but not even having basic QA demonstrates that this is all just a smokeshow: https://www.crowdstrike.com/why-crowdstrike/crowdstrike-comp...
The Cellpond video was quite mindblowing, and lu wilson throws other similarly mind bending ideas on mastodon semi regularly. I loved the live remapping thing here https://mastodon.social/@TodePond@mas.to/112733298578556294
None of these were FAANG companies. This was long before FAANG was a term, btw.

FAANG companies, even 3-4 years after the dot-com crash, were 8 something hours - but over a single day, all at once. Grueling to put it mildly. Though lunch was in there too.

The other companies were pretty mellow comparatively, but did take longer.

The one I ended up working at (small no name company in the midwest), I flew out and spent 2 days interviewing and negotiating with.
You do not need a hardware means for the RP2040 to shutdown the SBC.

You can run on the N100 a program that would monitor continuously the RP2040, e.g. by reading periodically the state of a GPIO pin or of a variable in the internal memory. Such a program can shutdown all the SBC.

Windows is not the issue here. If all of the businesses used Linux, a similar software product, deployed as widely as Crowdstrike, with auto-update, could result in the same issue.

Same goes for the OS; if let's say majority of businesses used RHEL with auto updates, RedHat could in theory push an update, that would result bring down all machines.
To offer an alternative data point, I don't really want any of the above. Just make it cheaper, smaller, and with guaranteed security updates for as long as possible.

The only wired headphones I own are high-impedance """audiophile""" headphones, that a phone couldn't really drive in the first place.

As for storage, I don't do a whole lot on my phone except for messaging and looking things up on-the-go, none of which needs much in terms of storage space. I've had my current phone (iPhone SE3, 128GB) for over 2 years, and I've never even had to delete anything (and when the day comes, I'll transfer the contents of the photo gallery over to external storage).

Why they don't use Windows' own anti-virus?
So, somebody who is locked up because they rejected a cop's advances, and then had evidence planted on them in retribution, should absolutely, 100% foot the bill for their time in jail, even if its eventually found that the only reason they are there is because of the laws the cop broke?

Even if I concede that literal criminals should have to pay for their accommodations (which I don't), there should be a straightforward path to appeal those costs if found not guilty. If the fees are meant to be further deterrence, then it is absolutely vital that we only deter those found guilty. Otherwise, we are depriving people of life, liberty, or property for "driving while black" or "being poor in front of your betters".
You're correct I do use GrapheneOS. Hm do you have the global microphone toggle off? There's an upstream issue that causes SpeechRecognizer implementations to silently fail when the microphone toggle is off. You may have to force-stop Transcribro after turning it on.

Not disagreeing here, not at all. And don't overestimate how well organized Switzerland is.

Our closest airport (Geneva) is much better served by Easyjet than its own Swiss airlines, who have top priority Zurich and then nothing for a looooong time. They are absolutely uncompetitive here, almost no direct flights and you need to fly 200km and change in Zurich (so adding risks and flights take 2-3x longer, sucks with small kids), compared to Easyjet who offers direct flights to tens of destinations on 3 continents for comparable or lower prices.

Not sure when was the last time I flew Swiss, few years ago. Easyjet? 4x this year, once to Africa. But this is about Ryanair, for some reason they positioned themselves as the worst budget airlines and they don't even fight their image. Suffice to say, I've never flown them.

It's a nice idea, but has that worked historically? Some people will make changes, but I think we'd be naive to think that things will change in any large and meaningful way.

Having another I-told-you-so isn't so bad, though - it does give us IT people a little more latitude when we tell people that buying the insecurity fix du jour increases work and adds more problems than it addresses.

This is very dependent on your jurisdiction. The USA's laws leave a lot more room for litigating in a way which I would deem frivolous than those of Canada. If you sell a chainsaw with safety features that adhere to common standards you should reasonably expect people not to try to stop it with their ballsack and a court of law that holds the manufacturer liable for moronic use of the object is a poorly designed court.

> It really depends whether it's "easier" for the network to learn an intuitive physics, versus a laundry list of superficial hacks that let it minimise loss all the same.

Human innate understanding of physics is a laundry list of superficial hacks. People needs education and mental effort to go beyond that innate but limited understanding.
I'm still shocked how limited our tools are. People in the early 2000s could animate complex 3d scenes in real time with physics and soft body dynamics. But tracing a few variables feels like an herculean effort.
