Sure, but that’s Ubuntu.

If one was fed up enough with Ubuntu, they could switch to Debian or mint and all their programs would still run and their workflows likely will not change too much.

But for windows you’d have to switch to osx or Linux, neither of which is going to easily support your software (unless it happens to run great under wine, but again that’s a different tool)
Yes, it's likely an unmitigable problem with trying to aggregate information in this way. That's why the value proposition of a search engine is that it presents information from primary sources, rather than trying to summarize it. Finding resources on other people with the same name is unsurprising, having the AI conflate you as it presents an aggregate is misleading, and enough so to be a real problem

In Germany I can choose between two kinds of public toilets. Piss everywhere and paying some money, while I don't like the later, it is clearly the price to pay for not having the former.
Prelude – a tiny CLI tool building context prompts from your code
I was feeling bogged down by the repetitive copy-paste routine to build context prompts for debugging or generating code. This simple solution ended up saving me a lot of time, so I thought I'd share my workflow.

With the large context windows of OpenAI and Anthropic models, you can keep entire code repositories in context. But copy-pasting the file-tree and code from lots of places is annoying. Prelude is a tiny CLI tool that creates a context prompt from files in your directory and its subdirectories, then copies it to your clipboard or saves it to a text file. Prelude creates a prompt containing the file tree of your specified directory, minus the files you ignored in .gitignore and .preludeignore, followed by the content of each file. It adds a bit of context prompting at the end, and that's it. Ready to copy-paste into a new chat with your favorite AI-chat. Nothing more, nothing less. Here’s how it works:

Install Prelude with Homebrew:

brew tap aerugo/prelude
brew install prelude

Simply run prelude in your working directory. Need files from a specific subdirectory? Use prelude -p dir. Want to specify a filename to save the prompt? Use prelude -f prompt.txt. Lots of files you don't want in the prompt? Put them in a .preludeignore file in the root folder where you run Prelude

Say that you know the names of the files you want to include, for example FooBar.py and BarFoo.md and they are somewhere in your file hierarchy.

Just run

prelude -M "foobar|barfoo"

and you will get a prompt with only those files. It also works with * wildcards.

Of course, it also works with the -P option, so you can also run something like

prelude -P backend/src -M "*.py"

To get all python files in the src directory of your backend.

PS. I'm sure this already exists. Lots of people must have done this. But nevertheless, I couldn't find a simple CLI tool to do just this, so I wrote one for myself, and then thought to share it.

No hospital will shift to Linux because of this incident. They may shift away from Crowdstrike, but not to another OS.
That's pretty amazing. Do you recall which version of Netware had the snakes? Did it need to be enabled through config? I'd love to try it out in a VM or 86Box.
Now I'm just curious, how the fuck does race determine IQ? That sounds like some nazi shit...
So it seems like a 4090has 4x the memory bandwidth and 4x the fp8 , for about 2x the price?

relative to what? according to this, a single card is capable of >300t/s on Mistral-7B and the workstations with 4 cards are doing nearly 500t/s on Mixtral-7Bx8.

yeah the H100 and MI300 nearly 10x those numbers [1] at the same batch sizes, but those cards are unobtainium server-class hardware priced way outside the prosumer range. while these cards cost less than a RTX 4090 and only use ~300W.

what other options exist for individuals or small companies looking to run/train locally at that kind of speed?

Significance of the "21kya" date: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peopling_of_the_Americas#Evide...

Summary: Recent mainstream theories do not have humans in the America, or at least any further than Alaska, until ~15kya. (1kya = 1 thousand years ago.) However, at a few widely-scattered archaeological sites, there is "debatable" evidence for a much-early human presence. If this new result holds up, it'll be nice new piece of evidence for the "older human presence" camp.
There's absolutely nothing preventing large "raw numbers" of legal skilled immigrants to high-income countries, except policy choices that are overtly hostile towards increasing legal immigration.
> You have to trust the vendor you are working with for whatever critically important system is going to do their job

This is an absurd take, specially after an outage who took down 911 response centers, hospitals and has millions of passengers still stranded.

You trust no vendor and assume everything fails all the time.
Ha ha ha. Have you seen the Broccoli Man short? And that was a satire of what Google's infrastructure looked like in 2010.

>The nuance I was referring to was with regards to the actual facts of the situation, such as who is responsible, and that many, many people are just using it as an excuse to dunk on Windows.

Right, and I'm pointing out the irony one level down, with some of your takes (ie. not the facts of the situation, but the suggestions that you're making).

>gestures broadly I mean...given the current situation, obviously I'm going to answer with an emphatic "yes!" You know we have these things called computers, right? They're really good at automating stuff. Like testing.

I don't think anyone thinks testing wouldn't have prevented this disaster, nor that testing is bad. The question is whether holding back updates is actually better overall in practice. Remember the Equifax hack? Turned out it was caused by them using a vulnerable version of Apache Struts, which they didn't update for months/years. Now, should they also theoretically have been doing engineering best practices and having a testing pipeline that would allow them to update library versions with minimal fuss? Yes, but in practice that's not something that can be done. The same applies to EDR updates. Should end users' IT departments have test suites so that they can test and release updates within hours of them being released? Yes. Is that a realistic option that actually exists? No.

>> Moreover, how is windows being a "shitshow" relevant to the question of resiliency or dependence?

>Sorry, not taking the bait on this one. Windows is a piece of shit, and it's absolutely self-evident to anyone even kind of exposed to the alternatives. Expanding on this to you is a waste of time, as either you've never used Windows before (highly unlikely) or you're unwilling to see what I'm talking about for whatever reason.

Clearly you don't have a context window exceeding one sentence, because the two sentences immediately following is critical to the understanding of that sentence. If you read those, you'd even see listed out common reasons why people think windows is bad.

>I've tried to make it extremely clear that 1) I don't blame Windows or Microsoft in this incident, but 2) this incident revealed just how much critical infrastructure relies on an OS that has no business being used as such. That's not "don't let a disaster go to waste," it's one disaster revealing a situation that is ripe for many, many more. I'm not "anti-Windows," I'm "anti-Windows-as-a-server" and "anti-horrible-system-administration-practices."

Sounds like you're already convinced that windows is bad, and the only new thing you got out of this is that a lot of important systems run on windows?
I am saying that because the sanctions haven't achieved anything positive for the last decades. At some point people just have to admit that they don't work but cause a lot of suffering. I bet if the US traded with Cuba, the communist regime would quickly fall apart like the Eastern block did.
"Sure, that's the goal. But it's not like this is an unreasonable thing to get wrong on Google's part. It's hard, this is not like they're failing at easy tasks here."

Should unreasonable trump acceptable? If you fail at something then should you do it?

An uncharitable interpretation seems to allow it is acceptable to imply someone is dead because an algorithmic process is hard ... lol ... l8ers.

At which point is disinformation acceptable?
Making systolic array chips (my BitGrid design) to bring provably secure Petaflops to the masses. They're handy for any algorithm that can tolerate extreme pipelining, including deep nets.

Because everything is trivial to reason about, there's nowhere for bugs, or zero day exploits, to hide.

Oh.. and we'd do an open source data diode product as well.
When is the last time the US sanctioned a foreign company for trading with Cuba?

Has it ever happened?

the last time I priced out an Epyc workstation like that, it was well over $12k CAD.

seems like it's still quite a good deal even at $15k USD
An interesting idea. Another commenter pointed out the need to train staff regularly on its use.

Something else that would be a challenge for your idea would be how to handle the orders of magnitude efficiencies in scaling gained from digital technology.

Emergency call centres often (or at least should!!) have these paper or card based backup processes - notes are taken on the card based on the call, addresses written manually, and the card is carried to a dispatch desk (perhaps sitting on a handheld radio if the main system is unavailable), passing information to response teams. Handling of each call requires more people, and gets you a much lower throughput (manually writing addresses, without lookups for spelling correction, reading them with phonetics over the radio to drivers etc).

How many times have you tried to call a business during an incident or disruption and been unable to get through on the phone, because they aren't staffed to a level that can handle any significant % of their customers calling at once? (Often, these companies lack tech company style realtime status pages as well, which could arguably reduce call numbers).

I do think there's some merit in trying to help organisations improve process and procedure resilience, but it doesn't strike me that it will be effective unless normal staffing levels are nearer the levels needed for "crunch" operations (or people are kept "on call" at extra cost to be available).

There are however a lot of good lessons that should be learned from the wider fiasco around technology resilience and systems design, and part of that should include independent (with as close to entirely independent failure modes as possible) redundancy systems.
I'm aware. My point was more that highway rest stops get cleaned well and regularly, unlike many other restrooms.
It's all fun and games until California employees actually experience Texas: the heat, the bugs, and open carry everywhere. Good luck with that, Musk. Theory and practice are not going to get along well, especially since a certain GOP candidate just threw you under the bus.

I disagree. If the only hope is some vague promise of bs AI, there is no hope indeed.
Very nice syntax. Ruby is definitely underappreciated at the moment.
So you don’t think an increase in erectile dysfunction should be associated with an increase in erectile dysfunction medication (sildenafil)?
To me, a name collision is when two or more entities share the same name or ID. What's claimed here is that Google was showing the photo of one person on the bio of another person. That's an identity consolidation error, where two unrelated people are treated as one. The name collision presumably caused the identity consolidation error, but you can have name collisions without identity consolidation errors.
Crowdstrikes pricing is really unapproachable for smaller businesses and they aren't interested in that market. Your maths for the f500 may well cover more than half their business.
The path from Jewish emancipation in law to Jewish integration in practice was slowed and stymied by antisemitism at every turn, to greater and lesser degrees in different countries. It is hard to believe that Jews were ever regarded as true equals, broadly, in a country which willingly handed over so many to the Nazis. And of course in Spain, Jews were not full citizens and the practice of Judaism was simply forbidden entirely until 1978.

You may throw a Godwin point as introduction, it doesn't change the fact that some groups indeed doesn't integrate well into France. And this is despite billions of welfare money given for housing, free education, free access to health, etc.

You mentioned Gypsies, well I read scholarly work stating that they were warmly welcomed 4 centuries ago in the towns of my region, until people discovered a tendency of their purses to disappear. Yes, the same exact complains that some French have nowadays. At some point facts are facts, and victimization doesn't work. For the record, a lot of other nationalities blended without issues within two generations (Portugese, Polonese, Vietnamese, etc.)

From the Hackernews guidelines: "Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the community."

See my previous comment:

"how is microsoft going to enforce this? Do you want to force developers wanting to publish software for windows to undergo annual audits (soc-2 style) to confirm that all the engineering best practices are indeed being followed? Not even Apple is that strict."

Or are you saying that they should ban EDR vendors from installing drivers at all? How are you going to implement the invasive monitoring needed for EDR to work?
Both Dutch natives and EU-migrants are to be paid minimum wage, however it is a common trick when hiring migrants to charge them a ridiculous amount of rent for very sub-par accommodation nearby the jobsite. For example €600/month for a bunk-bed in a room with eight others. That is a way many temp agencies earn extra from migrants.
It's certainly not supposed to work like that. In the kernel, a crash brings down the entire system by design. But in userspace, failed services can be restarted and continued without affecting other services.

If a failure in a userspace service can crash the entire system, that's a bug.

exactly this. what is also missing (although maybe this will be included in the follow up article) is education. education is a powerful tool to change peoples attitude and create this high trust. it will take time, but it is achievable. same goes for the problem raised in the article. if people are to flawed, ignorant and tribal, then we need to change how we educate our children so that the next generation will be less flawed, less ignorant and less tribal.

None of those are in Pittsburgh proper. Sure their addresses say Pittsburgh, but they’re all outside of the city.

How do you explain the rise of Hitler with this theory?

The Weimar government was a semi-presidential system with multiple parties that required coalitions for the legislature to function.

The Nazi party won a plurality but never a majority of the vote in any election during the Weimar years. They formed a coalition with the right wing German National People's Party through which Hitler was able to rise to the position of Chancellor.

Of course, we know that the Nazis quickly seized power shortly after that and banned all political parties including, including the German National People's Party, were banned with a few months.

The German National People's Party was a radical anti-democratic party as well. Between the two parties, they received around 44% of the vote in 1932. If that many people in your country either openly or tacitly support the dissolution of democracy then your republic's days are numbered. The particular flavor of democracy that your government uses doesn't matter.

That's the situation the US is currently facing.

>There should be a mechanism to go back to ‘last known good’ regardless of kernel level issues. Innovations like Fedora Silverblue with ostree and greenboot tech should be adopted by Windows.

Can you explain how they work? AFAIK the issue is that they pushed a bad config file, and that's the thing that caused the crash, not a new driver. Are those systems going to roll back every file ever to try to recover themselves?
> Various options including DSL over HICS cables and radio were considered, but the current plan is to trench new fiber-optic cables across the launch fields. They're less interesting, but fiber optic cables have both capacity and reliability advantages over telephone cables, and could easily remain in service for the life of the Sentinel program.

I was actually a bit surprised there was nothing about lightning and EMP suppression. I’m no expert on EMP effects, but multiple-mile-long cable loops underground seem like the kind of thing that would develop large induced currents in the presence of a varying magnetic field.

Nonconductive fiber optic cables are entirely immune to these effects. And they’re less expensive than copper!

> I don't want people coming here using their talents to politically remove my rights.

I'm far more concerned by the people who are in power today who want to politically remove women's rights. Others are worried about those who are in power who want to remove gun rights.

Immigrants are very, very far down the list of people with power to disrupt our rights.
Sure, but can you realistically run an up-to-date server today without systemd? Especially for these organisation that runs stuff like CrowdStike.
The no-nonsense apps are a dying breed on Google Play. Even a lot of non-shovelware apps are subscription-only, or don't work if you're offline, or introduce new enshittification features with each update. At that point, I'm just going to use their mobile website.

F-Droid exists, fortunately. That's where I go if I want simple apps without any BS. Vinyl for music playback, AntennaPod for podcasts, Tusky for Mastodon, etc
> Both Dutch natives and EU-migrants are to be paid minimum wage

In theory, yes, but I know a decent number of my own countrymen (Serbians) that most definitely aren't legally employed in NL, but they're still working construction. It's vile, but it is what it is. (Not them, the companies are vile for what they're doing, the workers are simply surviving however they can)
if the firmware is totally nuked, you'd need backup firmware. at some point, all of this crap can be made non-recoverable, but that isn't the real problem to solve.

imma take your comment one step further and say that the emphasis on security is coming at the expense of discussions on resilience. and security matters a lot less, especially financially, than resilience.
Huh, that's a weird take. My personal provisions are cleaner than the public facilities I have access to, which are admittedly very much like the middle ages. And I don't need to hold it or search around. I have medical grade liners for the containers so disposal is easy. But huh, I guess you keep enjoying your take.
I'm not in the US, not American, though I have lived in the US portions of my life.

I'm going to go so far as to say it us unamerican to mix business with politics to the level that you are suggesting here.

The rhetoric in the US about one against the other is quite ridiculous. Families are worried or even unable to celebrate Thanksgiving dinner because not everyone can agree on their political affiliations.

We should identify in our belief in something, not against, and a belief in a party or an individual is just asking for trouble.

Let me ask you this. If you had a life threatening illness, would you ask your doctor what party they are going to vote for? That's kinda what you're asking here. You're asking if YC is involved in who the founders they invest in are going to vote for. Ignoring the fact that many of the founders are in the US on a visa, and probably don't care one way or another.
