This is the bit I am still trying to understand. On CrowdStrike you can define how many updates a host is behind. I.e. n (latest), n-1 (one behind) or n-2 etc. This update was applied to a 'latest' policy hosts and the n-2 hosts. To me it appears that there was more to this than just a corrupt update, otherwise how was this policy ignored? Unless it doesn't separate the update as deeply and maybe just a small policy aspect, which would also be very concerning.

I guess we won't really know until they release the post mortem...

Sharing a summary posted on Mastodon:

- is opt-in. You must actively choose to use this feature

- is open-source

- uses an open-source model

- does not use your data to train the model

- doesn't break existing zero-access-encryption

- runs locally on supported devices

- can be run on a Proton-provided no-log server if you choose to

From my understanding Scribe doesn't do anything unless you enter a prompt. And before that you have still have to choose between local or server side before you can even use it.

Yeah Java is partially dynamically typed. I think we can safely conclude that all practical languages are hybrids where some of the type checking is done by the compiler and some of the type checking is deferred to the runtime.

Then when we call a language statically typed we mean most of the type checking is usually done statically. Dynamic type checking is the exception, not the rule.

Even in dynamically typed languages like Python, some of the type checking may be done by an optimizer in the compilation stage. The runtime type check guarding some operations may be removed, because the optimizer decides it knows the types of the values involved once and for all.

I would settle for first-class support for object hashes. Let an object have metadata, available in the inventory, that gives zero or more hashes of the data. SHA256, some Blake family hash, and at least one decent tree hash should be supported. There should be a way to ask the store to add a hash to an existing object, and it should work on multipart objects.

IOW I would settle for content verification even without content addressing.

S3 has an extremely half-hearted implementation of this for “integrity”.

Show HN: node-mlx – Machine learning framework for Node.js
I started studying machine learning this year, and I found python in my way to understand how things actually work, so I decided to port a machine learning framework to JavaScript first.

I chose to port MLX, a library focused on Mac GPUs, because I mainly use Mac and I don't want to spend time on NVIDEA's environment, also I believe MLX and JavaScript are perfect match since so many JavaScript developers are using Mac.

The examples of node-mlx (see the Examples section on GitHub) are written in a straightforward way as I'm still a beginner myself, which should make them very easy to understand.

I'm currently still learning basic conceptions and gradually implementing them in JavaScript to understand better. I'll write more examples as part of my learning, and whom want to get updates of the new examples can watch my twitter (handle is the same with hacker news).
Trekking Across Switzerland, Guided by Locals' Hand-Drawn Maps
Thank you for your kind words. As the author of syd and an Exherbo developer, I am working on a sibling distro called "Hardened Exherbo": https://hexsys.org. The idea is to contain all service daemons with Syd. I don't have much to show yet but I have successfully contained some daemons:

1. rsyslog: https://gitlab.exherbo.org/exherbo/arbor/-/blob/hex/packages...

2. openntpd: https://gitlab.exherbo.org/exherbo/arbor/-/blob/hex/packages...

3. nginx: https://gitlab.exherbo.org/exherbo/net/-/blob/hex/packages/w...

rsyslog and openntpd profiles may be slightly outdated. I am particularly proud about the nginx profile, it demonstrates many things above all SafeSetID and Binary verification. Note, nginx profile is only configured for static file serving, if you have app servers you're gonna have to allow them as well.

Syd has a trace mode when the access violations are only logged and allowed. The utility Pandora uses this mode to provide a learning mode. You can read more about pandora here: https://crates.io/crates/pandora_box

Pandora is really nice, it'll trim too long paths turning them into globs and calculate checksums for all the binaries and libraries used and invoking it is as easy as e.g. "pandora profile firefox".

I think one of the bigger (but not necessarily earliest) indicators of the 'trap' potential in public conscience was when Adobe started moving to its "creative cloud" solution. There were constant debates about its usefulness vs the trap. Sadly it seems that the former won out with people overwhelmingly in favour of the new 'ecosystem'. It's only now (about 10 years later) that the signs are emerging which include the recent 'AI' training, the pricing, as well as difficulties involved in cancelling.

As a whole we're generally slow in realizing the problem, with the early naysayers being treated as a nuisance. Other platforms show similar signs of being a trap as well, basically any platform where we're "locked in" for our own good... but I don't know if we'll learn from past lessons.

> Hard to imagine how many millions of not billions of dollars this one bad update caused.

And even worse, possibly quite a few deaths as well.

I hope (although I will not be holding my breath), that this is the wake-up call we need to realise that we cannot have so much of our critical infrastructure rely on the bloated OS of company known for its buggy, privacy-intruding, crapware riddled software.

I'm old enough to remember the infamous blue-screen-of-death Windows 98 presentation. Bugs exist but that was hardly a glowing endorsement of high-quality software.. This was long ago, yet it is nigh on impossible to believe that the internal company culture has drastically improved since then, with regular high-profile screw-ups reminding us of what is hiding under the thin veneer of corporate of respectability.

Our emergency systems don't need windows, our telephone systems don't need windows, our flight management systems don't need windows, our shop equipment systems don't need windows, our HVAC systems don't need windows, and the list goes on, and on, and on.

Specialized, high-quality OSes with low attack surfaces are what we need to run our systems. Not a generic OS stuffed with legacy code from a time when those applications were not even envisaged.

Keep-it-simple-stupid -KISS-is what we need to go back to, our lives literally depend on it.

With the mutli-billion dollars screw-up that happened yesterday, and an as-of-yet unknown number of deaths, it's impossible to argue that the funds are unavailable to develop such systems. Plurality is what we need, built on top of strong standards for compatibility and interoperability.

I think you misunderstood my comment. My point was not that the only thing that exists is cold ruthlessness, but that the claim that technology is inherently oppressive does not make sense. Doesn’t make sense for the reasons you state: it brings both good and bad. And doesn’t make sense because the same factors are in play as you zoom out beyond specific technologies and observe the broader machinery at work.

The cold ruthlessness of the universe is what makes the sunset so beautiful.

The beauty of the sunset is what makes the universe so cold and ruthless.

These are not statements about causality, but rather about the spectrum of possible phenomena and how we experience it. The highest highs are balanced by the lowest lows. Beauty and ugliness are interdependent concepts that co-emerge.

> Yes bad things happen, but the Universe can be good to us and bad to us

The universe doesn’t have agency as far as we know. It is not bestowing good and bad on us.

Things happen based on the laws of nature. We interpret them and assign them labels like good and bad based on our individual experience of what we see. I’m picking this nit because I think the primary error in the original piece was to assign intrinsic properties/essence to objects of technology (or all of existence) when in reality these are mental phenomena layered on top of whatever is actually happening.
Makes sense, but when I asked most people answered that it was to save natural gas.
Third party services that remain involved aren't "tooling". They're part of the final site, dragging in all of that terrible behavior of the surveillance industry. So yes it's reasonable to ask why one should have to suffer that to access a public service and/or by government requirement. If we had a US GDPR and some societal expectation of privacy letting us be reasonably sure those vendors were prohibited from creating surveillance dossiers on us it would be more reasonable, but US "governance" is actually skewed the exact opposite way.

"Inline PTX" is just PTX, and you have already listed PTX among the intermediate representations, which can be independent of hardware, because hardware-specific code will be generated when the program is loaded.

Of course, using PTX does not necessarily guarantee backward compatibility, because you may use some PTX features that are supported only on newer NVIDIA GPUs. Nevertheless, inline PTX should continue to work on future GPUs.

Perhaps by "hardcoded" you have referred to only a part of your quotation, i.e. to "(inline GCN/RDNA/GEN is available)".

In this case I agree with you, but even so, there are enough cases when it is impossible, at least with the current compilers, to obtain the maximum performance allowed by the hardware without using inline assembly language, either for GPUs or for CPUs. Therefore it is good for the high-level programming language to permit the use of inline assembly language, even if this facility should not be abused.

To me it seems disingenuous to only compare prices and not what you got as part of the ticket.

I imagine on that old ticket you could: pick up a phone and get help with anything, check luggage for free, take a carry-on for free, check in at the airport, free food/drinks on board, more staff on board, comfier seats, more leg room, could make changes/refund with fewer penalties. Oh and probably much better IRROPs support

Ask HN: Is anyone using IPFS for a production level product?
A few years ago IPFS seemed to the up and coming peer-to-peer content addressed technology. It seemed like it solved a number of problems of the current web architecture and opened new frontiers of what could be done. However while I see the project is still active developed I was wondering if anyone here has actually done anything serious with it and if so, how did it work out for you?
Yeah, the subdirectories and mime-type seemed like an unnecessary complication. Also looks pretty dead.
Yes i suppose it is. Good point! But there's something very personal about their approach that couldn't scale to a wider audience, almost by definition. When you present something to even a precise demographic, but an anonymous one, you are in some sense still presenting something to the market. When you do the same but target a specific individual you're no longer addressing the market. I'd say that has more parallels with hacking than marketing.

You are punning, but if a big tech would create a map of publicly available toilets that would be great for many demographics (any man 65+, those with bowel syndroms). It’s the little things that make life easier (or more affordable) that matter the most (in my opinion).

I know there is a debate in the group that needs “fast toilets” whether they should be free. Well that debate is moot when there are near zero options. A coffee brings what €1 of margin? A toilet could cost €1, and still help those in need. I hate paying for dirty toilets (German and Belgian gas stops grmbl, learn from France). But a clean toilet can be a lifesaver.
