That description reminds me of GreenArrays' (https://www.greenarraychips.com) Forth chips that have 144 cores – although they call them "computers" because they're more independent than regular CPU cores, and eg. each has its own memory and so on. Each "computer" is very simple and small – with a 180nm geometry they can cram 8 of them in 1mm^2, and the chip is fairly energy-efficient.

Programming for these chips apparently a bit of a nightmare though. Because the "computers" are so simple, even eg. calculating MD5 turns into a fairly tricky proposition as you have to spread out the algorithm to multiple computers with very small amounts of memory, so something that would be very simple on a more classic processor turns into a very low level multithreaded ordeal

Disable the driver that is explicitly there to protect from malware and attacks?

Wouldn’t malware just use that as an attack vector?

The consistent texture of the Nutraloaf may “help” here. My spouse lost her sense of smell (for other reasons than Covid) years ago and now relies heavily on textures for food enjoyment.
This is very much a “easier said than done” situation that I would think Hacker News of all places would be better about when it comes to “just” doing something in code.

First Windows already does something similar. After 3 it is supposed to boot into WindowsRE which gives you options to revert to a previous version, uninstall updates, and I believe also reverts configurations like recent driver installations.

The problem here though, CrowdStrike itself didn’t update. It updated a definition file (last I saw at least) and that likely would not have been caught by Windows as a new version.

Also frankly, not super thrilled at the idea of Windows just deciding to disable/uninstall something except for rolling back (so a previously working config) due to how things could interact. This situation could have been far worse and harder to recover from.

In this case maybe Windows could have noticed that the configuration update is what was causing it and rolled that back, but it’s possible it would have just re-downloaded the file when it started back up anyways.

Regarding saved lives, do we actually know that anyone’s lives were lost due to this? My local hospitals were still performing emergency surgery.

No, or OpenAI etc would be profitable. I believe they're all heavily subsidized by investors right now in a race to cement the first-mover advantage.

Now if they had their own llama instance or similar that they're doing on their own machines, that would be closer to the true cost? But I doubt that quality is sufficient, or can keep up with the latest training.
Thanks for posting this. PyBAMM is really slick. I first learned about it from a webinar on the competing Julia package.

I have to ask though, how many organizations are really designing their own cells for new products? And how much validation have these packages had? I know it's expensive and time-consuming to get a lot of battery discharge data. My experience may be overly coloring my thinking here - my idea of battery modeling involves a circuit simulator and only those effects that are not going to be drowned by the large tolerances in common batteries.

The one area where more detailed physical modeling would be interesting would be in long-term degradation and wear modeling for secondary cells. Is there a tutorial or example along those lines?
its free during beta (may be 2 or 3 months). pricing will be around $10 for basic version (200 job runs or questions per month), my current focus is collecting all the feedbacks in my log to fix it. . .
I have not had good results and stopped trying. I have had some usable results, but on careful inspection there were subtle problems or needless convolutions that implied a different solution was being used than was actually the case. The sort of thing that works but is prone to misinterpretation by the next one working in the code.

Based on this I'm very against using it for things the user doesn't have significant knowledge of. Some coworkers seem to be having better success but I definitely get the sense they are reading and editing the results carefully. I don't find it that much if any of a productivity gain so I stopped trying for now.
I really appreciate Rust's copy/clone semantics when reading this. The "hopefully" is so worrying.

Production code in Rust is littered with imperformant `.clone()`s but at least I can see where they're happening to ponder a better way.
There are phone apps that can pierce through all silent or DND settings. Get one of those. If the same app could buzz on less than 50% battery to remind to charge that would help. Also same app could request to confirm on call status so the don't forget. If they don't confirm someone else gets the shift.

The challenge, for historians of science, is to segregate Wolfram’s genuine accomplishments, which are considerable, from this stuff.
From what I read in the previous thread, their test environment didn't actually test what was deployed.

That is, there was a post-test pre-distribution packaging stage, and that's where the distributed file(s) got f'ed up.

If true that would explain how it got past their testing, but would also be an incredible lack of competence IMHO.

But yeah, curious if there's been some more concrete details there.

>. Turing machines specifically are not required to preserve anything about the initial state and so information can be destroyed and created ex nihilo, violating the main principle of physics which requires that all matter and energy be conserved. The equations have to balance out at the beginning and the end, whatever you start with can not be greater or less than what you end with (at least in physics).

can you explain this more rigorously? I don't see how computation 'destorys' information, unless you are using "destroy" loosely and you just mean exploding the state space?
Anyone can listen on a ham radio, you need a license to broadcast. FRS, CB and MURS are the unlicensed options in the US to my knowledge.
That's a bit disingenuous, though. That was, as 'Rinzler89 points out, some 20 years ago. Back then, any Linux distro would've definitely been much safer option, because after installing you couldn't even connect it to the network, because it had no support for your cable modem or wireless card, and that's assuming you didn't fuck up your MBR with LiLo for the 20th time. Ask me how I know.

Both OS families have changed much since that time.
The US can't just withhold payments and wait for inflation to run its course. The debt is largely in government bonds and other debt securities. Payments have to be made on the debt securities when they are obligated to be due.

> Ah yeah dataviews, but you still need to convert from json to those and that takes about as much overhead

You don't necessarily need to have an intermediate JSON representation. Many of the built in APIs in Node and browsers return array buffers natively. For example:

const buffer = await fetch('foo.wav').then(res => res.arrayBuffer())
new Worker('worker.js').postMessage(buffer, [buffer])

This completely transfers the buffer to the worker thread, after which it is detached (unusable from the sending side) [1][2].

Better not comment than look clueless. Moreover, this applies to the use of volatile keyword in Java as well.
It’s not condescending it’s reality, and they’re now dealing with the consequences of that reality. What is that leftist refrain, ‘freedom of speech not freedom from consequences’. They’re exercising their sovereignty which is their right, I think better choices could have been made but that’s just my opinion.

In life we must deal with reality, the strong do what they can and the weak endure what they must. Most of us don’t get to live life from a constant position of strength and must be able to negotiate from a position of weakness which involves picking the least bad choices. The West has enjoyed an extended period of being able to negotiate from a position of strength and unfortunately the West isn’t strong enough to keep things that way. Weakness is dangerous, I wish the West was stronger, but I must deal with reality.
> Microsoft tried to do exactly this for security software in Windows

Using a monopoly in one industry to capture the market in another industry is what anti monopoly laws are meant to prevent.

Microsoft was prevented because they wanted to retain a commercial business in their security products having special access while locking out everyone else.
Agree.I also remember those days when it was so hard to get Linux to just boot up and get your display working correctly- it was almost like a rite of passage. It was just proving grounds for how much of an expert you were and the number of hours you spent in front of the PC, just to get things working.

My point is, good and bad memories will always stand out.
India and China have certainly become far more consequential since the formation of BRICS.

Russia’s importance has been diminishing exponentially. Their greatest exports have all become less valuable (their military technology has shown up to be below par, their gas pipelines to Europe are basically done for, their most valuable human capital has fled/died in the millions).

Brazil is in economic crisis. Again their economy has been becoming less important rather than more over the past 5-10 years.

And the less said about the South African economic disaster the better.

India and China also hate each other and are literally fighting an active war with each other as we speak.

BRICS as an organization is terribly impotent considering how important 2 of their 5 largest members are in the world order.

Also, it’s nice for Switzerland that they have SWIFT but it’s really not that useful. We learnt that when SWIFT detonated the nuclear option a couple of years ago against Russia and nothing happened.

Clearly SWIFT has little geopolitical value, so with that known now, even western economies will benefit with some competition.

>to assume that judges are not managing their own hunger to the extent that it’s affecting their job performance.

>Why wouldn’t surgeons or pilots have the same problem?

Firstly, this is such an incredibly naive view of the world, especially in regards to the type of professionals that proliferate the legal system.

Past that, surgeons and pilots DO have these issues. The airline industry has religious standards and procedures for how pilots prepare and "rate" themselves before a flight mainly due to how visible egregious pilot errors typically are; in the case of surgeons the insurance company does it best to sweep things under the rug.

Pilots are supposed to be well rested, but then you have incidents like Northwest Airlines Flight 188[1], and pilots admitting they fall asleep more than you would imagine[2].

It's hard to gather data on surgeon-specific incidents since the medical industry does its very best to sweep things under the rug, but it's estimated that 400,000 deaths occur unnecessarily while in the hospital due to medical malpractice [3].

None of these systems or data are made available in the legal system, because it's all "scratch my back" etc. So no, you really shouldn't trust judges (or anyone else in the legal system) since there are no systems of accountability.

Switching tools, or adopting new (unproven) ones doesn't address or fix the communication issue.

The existing tools mentioned can show the metrics. Management needs an education - and that is part of the engineering job.
So you uninstall CrowdStrike Falcon from all of your customers computers and you install what to replace it?

The sad truth is that all of the products in that class have had terrible incidents in their past.

Agreed. The hiring process is a total nightmare these days.

Broken job boards, A.I-CV-scraping, soulless video interviews, ridiculous noob “tests” for experienced folks, endless interview rounds + bad communication.

Yep, Microsoft does a good job with Windows Defender (antivirus) updates.

It's the other Windows Updates that they botch frequently enough to make people wary of patching immediately.
Are you using the paid gpt-4? It is a world of difference of improvement over the free tier.

Like the author I am now writing 80% + of my code in chatgpt. Every now and then something pops up that it doesn't quite understand and I have to pick up my shovel and head back into the mines, but mostly with good prompting in chat gpt and preceding everything I write in my ide with a comment explaining what I'm doing copilot can do the rest.

It's a great tool in the way that google search once was, and programming IDEs are. But it takes some time to feel it out and see where it's useful and where it isn't, similar to learning how to google search and feeling out the opaque functionality in an ide.

At an AWS event last week there was a quote 'jobs aren't going to be replaced by ai. But people doing jobs without ai will be replaced by people with ai'.
I don't see it as being "absurd and pointless" when there's a perfectly good answer: it's not in the play. You can imagine what you like, but it's not "canon" in anime terms.

You can imagine what you like, and people do. Stories invite us to imagine not just what's in them, but the world they're set in, including what happened before and after. They leave room for extension with other stories, including prequels and sequels.

This doesn't mean confusing fantasy with real life, either. I think that's getting confused about how people read stories.

Oh, sure, I don't mean "no one who has read RFC 2119 will ever use 'should' incorrectly." I mean that I would hope that someone who understands the need to define 'should' would recognize, when looking at a requirements document and themselves singling out the word 'should', that divergent opinions on its meaning could be at issue.

> He explains his theories by telling stories, the veracity of which isn’t the point.

I am not so concerned with whether the story did happen as with whether it could happen. I think telling such a story risks giving a misleading idea of the ways of getting people to understand their difference—that "here, let me define that for you" in such a bald-faced form is a productive post-conflict resolution strategy. (After all, it's what those of us with engineer's disease, or at least I, think should resolve such a conflict.) More honest, I think, to emphasize the importance of such interventions beforehand than to pretend that people will easily respond amiably to them afterwards.
“Windows has announced a commitment around the Rust programming language as part of Microsoft’s Secure Future Initiative (SFI) and has recently expanded the Windows kernel to support Rust.”
Recall actually is a brilliant idea, and I dreamed of something like it for a long time, and so did plenty people here. It's just not something you can trust a third-party business with, whether it's a fly-by-night startup or an international megacorporation known to be openly promiscuous with advertisers.

This is basically "take a screenshot every 30 seconds and compile it into a timelapse", but on steroids, and the same appeal, and arguments wrt. who gets to run it on whose machines, all apply.
It doesn't really matter. Whether it's 51% or 99% of people "doing harm", there's still a percentage of people in jail for such things as:

- copyright violation
- jaywalking
- possessing marijuana
- peeing outside within 100 yards of a minor
- a 17 and 18 year old in a committed relationship having consensual sex
- "obscenity"
- [medically necessary] abortion [of a pregnancy due to rape from a family member]
- being gay in the military

Let me remind you (& everyone) that this is not normal outside of our very fucked up country. We lock up so many more people that the next 3 biggest countries combined still don't lock up as much as we do. We have an incarceration problem.

So, ignore those, and focus on the violent crimes again. Why do we have so many more violent criminals than anyone else? Do we still think this is just totally normal, and we can't do anything about it, so fuck it, lock them up and throw away the key? If we were talking about any other metric of a healthy population (child death rate, inability to get food or housing, infectious disease rate, etc) we would be actually working to change these numbers rather than just building more places to stick the people we don't want to think about. Maybe the fact that there are so many violent crimes is a good enough reason for us to start rethinking our policies, what makes our fucked up citizens act this way, and how we can begin to turn the tide.

Or we can give into apathy and say, fuck it.
Where can I find a list for all OSes? I’d assume such a list would have known issues with X11 etc. I want to ensure it’s not a case of surviviorship bias.
There are exactly zero free parameters in string theory [0]. The details of why string phenomenology is hard is a difficult subject, but the characterization you've given of it is not correct. If you have a proof that string theory is not self-consistent, you should publish it, because there is no such proof in the scientific literature today. (Source: my PhD in physics.)

Unfortunately, there is a ton of misinformation about this topic on the web. For example, people love to say that string theory predicts anything and everything. But it predicts (and rejects) a lot; it’s just that all of the known predictions happen to fall into the categories of (1) predicting things that are very hard for humans to measure (behavior of black holes at long time scales, graviton scattering, etc) or (2) retrodicting things we already know are true (e.g. gravity, Lorentz invariance, etc.). This state of things isn’t by design of nefarious string theorists designing their theory to be untestable, it’s just cruel fate of what comes out of the math. Hopefully someday we can find some other type of prediction, but string theory isn’t easy.

Thank for you the response! If this GMRS stuff goes well (getting the radios in a few days, hiking the week after that), a HAM license sounds like a fun thing to look at next. But from the movies, it always seemed like that was more of a way to chat with random strangers around the world (like this "Parks on the Air" thing), rather than coordinating hikes between specific individuals. Is that accurate at all?

> Without knowing the area, I'd guess that 2 or 6 meters would be your best bet. (Probably 2m)

What is this in reference to? Is that a measure of wavelength (e.g. 2-6m ~= VHF?) or did I misunderstand? I thought for longer-range comms, you would want to utilize not just repeaters but things like ionosphere reflections and HF. Are you saying that's actually not the best thing to use for wooded areas a few miles apart?

I appreciate the info :) If I really get into this as a hobby, I'd love to hit you up via email. Please give me a few weeks to test the waters first.

This comes across as bamboozlement, based on conflating the actually broadly-accepted right to own property with an imagined right to own land. There is nothing in the UNHDR that says people ought to be able to own land. As you already pointed out, any property that a person might own is at best just a temporary structure on land that in most countries also includes other structures provided by other entities. Land itself is widely understood to be a shared resource. If it wasn't, there wouldn't be any controversy over who gets to use it, and the right to freedom of movement wouldn't exist either.

Of course it violates human rights to force people out of their homes, but that's because it's wrong to interfere with how people choose to live, not because people have some kind of intrinsic and exclusive right to the land they are currently occupying.
You are right, I think I screwed up the estimate. I was thinking more 0.30-0.45 EUR / kWh so less than 20 EUR per year.
I don't think Microsoft can be negligent here, because Windows isn't being brought down by Microsoft updates.

Somebody bought Windows, and bought CrowdStrike. CrowdStrike is negligent, and possibly also the person/org who chose to rely on Windows+CrowdStrike without a backup plan if that resulted in further damages to others.

Third party vendors are absolutely not "forced into writing unsafe kernel drivers". They can properly test things to write safer code (which CrowdStrike infamously didn't). And kernel mode is fundamentally required for security software like this, as far as I understand.

And using app-based mobile OS's is not necessarily a useful comparison point. They are limited in all sorts of ways that desktop OS's are not -- and don't you hear people here on HN constantly complaining about that? A better comparison point is macOS and Linux. CrowdStrike also crashed Linux, and macOS still lets you bypass SIP if you want to.
