Yes, since CrowdStrike won't tell us, we'll have to rely on our own or third party analysis. As I write "Since as usual the company won't release any detailed information on what really happened, we'll have to rely on other sources. I found that Dave Plummer's account on YouTube was very good, and trustworthy."
But, absolutely, probably is a required qualifier for some statements about the details.

What is definitely known is that a WHQL kernel mode driver from CrowdStrike crashes, and removing a single file external to the driver causes it to stop crashing. Some pretty sure conclusions can be drawn from that. No "probably" required.
I do not have links for you, but the last time I checked there was a general consensus among the majority of scientists that given the low percentage of molten lava in the upper chamber and low percentage of molten magma in the lower chamber we would have at least 10K years of low probability of a VEI 8 eruption. An eruption currently may damage part of the park from low basaltic flows and part of the park would be shut down. Should that happen it may impact the park's tourist revenue but the governor is working on diversifying the states income. The risk level of eruption was a decision making factor in my moving so close to Yellowstone.
Interfaces are usually understood as a subset of types. Interfaces specifically describe method signatures. Nevertheless, the distinction is murky because any structure can be interpreted in terms of getters and setters which can be considered methods.
My "portable" AC has capacitive buttons. One time I covered the top with something to eliminate the intense glow at night.

The next day, the thing went completely haywire and would rapidly switch between modes without being touched.

Short story short, capacitive buttons suck and putting them on a steering wheel was a terrible decision.
And the worst thing is that everybody complained when VW did this years ago. VW then claimed to have listened and promised a change, but kept on using them.
For that reason alone I would never consider VW for a future vehicle. Something is pretty messed up there.

If you follow the dating statistic of women going for the top 20% of men, it makes sense that 80% of women would be left with no long-term partner.

You can interpret that however you like (natural selection, being picky, 80% of men not being high enough quality, etc.), but the raw statistics are there.

I think outside of Poland people think of it as a victim mostly in the context of the XX century, but inside, the martyrology begins much earlier and was the leading ideological current in the XIX century. It just seems we have a long tradition of not wanting to own up to our faults, always ready to blame someone else for our misfortunes. This also jives with the catholic doctrine of noble suffering.

Personally I’m a fan of taking responsibility. And in the context of falling into partitions we did have a role in that internally the country was a mess, conflicted and for sale. We could learn something from our western neighbours when it comes to forming some unity and valuing work/grit over aristocratic navel-gazing.

-American women are winning hard at college

-Chinese men once said in a survey that they feel threatened by high achieving women

-Therefore men as a group are most at fault for the decline in marriage and TFR

Has anyone written on this issue dispassionately? The marriage/reproduction rate for the entire developed world is cratering and we get “blessed” with a choice of three explanatory viewpoints: incel, femcel, purely economic factors

I do believe economic factors are the single largest culprit, but there’s obviously more to the story when you look at the U-shaped income/TFR curve or the utter failure of nearly all family-formation economic policies across the globe.

This baby brained “men bad” or “women bad” discourse belongs in the dumpster.

This is unrelated to GCP. If you're going to be an abrasive tool then you should at the very least have some shred of an idea of what you're talking about, laddie
It does not solve the problem. Would you rather have a function that takes a map and puts additional keys in it (ex. `timestamp`) or a function that takes a map and stores it in a new map alongside the additional keys? In any case, how would you write a generic function that works on those additional keys?
Yes. It’s called the silicon lottery.
Why is the dataset required for it to be open source?

If I self host a project that is open sourced rather than paying for a hosted version, like Sentry.io for example, I don't expect data to come along with the code. Licensing rights are always up for debate in open source, but I wouldn't expect more than the code to be available and reviewable for anything needed to build and run the project.

In the case of an LLM I would expect that to mean the code run to train the model, the code for the model data structure itself, and the control code for querying the model should all be available. I'm not actually sure if Meta does share all that, but training data is separate from open source IMO.

Sorry you are right, that was specific to our case where we were already waiting for a result from the goroutines.
In an actor model, you would let the "goroutine" die and the supervisor would restart it if it has a restart policy, otherwise it will die and stay dead (without bringing the system down).
In erlang you can also "link" the current actor to another actor so that if the linked actor dies, the linker dies too (or receives a message)

Leadership is a hard to balance activity.

One common failure mode is to keep doing the old job. Do hard parts, don't trust other people with the most critical parts, ...

The opposite is just as common: Forgetting the technical parts. In my experience, it takes about 6 months to go from sharpest knife in the drawer to architecture buzzword bingo specialist. An engineering manager needs non stop contact with reality to stay real.

The good managers I knew kept doing a small part of engineering, but not anything critical. Say, a few hours a week. A good manager can be away for 2 weeks without anything technical failing and needing their immediate attention.

Another side is managing your people: Set quality standards, build processes, give vision and direction. Overly technical managers tend to forget this part of the job.

What tends to go reasonably well is managing upwards. If you do the legwork to know the numbers (money, man hours,..) and have some vision, you can help negotiating what can and can not be done. Don't get me wrong, this is hard work and eats calendar time. But at least the skills are there.
True, I should add as well that dedicated lanes for buses or trams also provide an advantage of being available to emergency vehicles.
In my layman perspective there's another argument to be made from Soviet perspective.

Dresden was destroyed by the western countries (US et al). While Warsaw was destroyed by Germans.

So "we" fix what the bad Germans broke. But we keep the mess left by the spoiled West as a reminder.
Both sides did actually contribute. Urban warfire does not spare cities as they change hands.
At this point I kind of do. The matter that goes into forming your body and brain is somewhat special, having accumulated the properties it has experiencing billions of years of traveling through the universe.

Ideally we should be mining Yellowstone completely for its geothermal power, starting at its periphery, then digging inward gradually. If we don't, the only other eventual outcome is destruction of North America from its supervolcano eruption. Mining it kills two problems with one stone, the energy problem and the supervolcano problem. Of course no fracking chemicals should be used.
It's where power and money converge, because of its status as the capital city of Poland. This gives its residents a feeling of exceptionalism. It's a typical Eastern European capital city where you go to join the corporate rat race. Just like London and the rest of the UK, you see a huge gap in income and quality of life between Warsaw and the rest of Poland. That's why the rest of the country dislikes Warsaw, just like the rest of the UK dislikes London.
It is not about stress. You are asking to pick between a) do same job at a different company for 2-3x income, or b) learn to do something different for a chance of smaller/same/or bigger income than in the previous case. First option requires passing somewhat stressful interviews and then it is all familiar territory. Second option has more unknowns.
This line of thinking is both wrong and frightening. Military escalation is always messy and uncertain, and history is full of wars that escalated beyond either side's overall interest. Imperfect information, poor decisions, and tactically reasonable but strategically catastrophic decisions are all ways that can lead to things getting out of hand.

On top of all that, the only practical way to have any hope of "winning" a nuclear exchange is to hit the other side so unexpectedly hard and fast that they can't mount a strong enough response to completely destroy you in return. There were multiple serious high level discussions about doing exactly that at various points during the Cold War by both sides.

We should all want the world to be as many rungs down the escalation ladder as possible. One or more countries breaking the prohibition on nuclear weapon use and using tactical nuclear weapons would bring the world dangerously close to a full nuclear war. Being a few short steps from such an event is not a stable situation, and it is one that will break badly at some point.

Our current situation is too unstable; deliberately making things much worse is a terrible notion.

There's a UCI minimum weight for competition bikes at 6.8kg. We can't remove the button, as that would put us under the weight limit.
Force replenishment in the event of nuclear war is a moot question, but if someone can go from 100 to 1,000 warheads in a couple months, that has a lot of relevance in a growing crisis--what would Russia have done in 2022 if Ukraine had kept the ability to manufacture them and was able to build 100/year?
Used to guide in Yellowstone. This has no bearing on the greater Yellowstone Caldera (supervolcano) which spans nearly 30miles by 40miles. In my time there I never saw anything like this. If you're ever in a situation similar to this, run as fast and as far as you can.

The interesting thing about geysers and pools is how relatively predictable they are... until they are not. A mathematical and statistical person would have a lot of fun building prediction models for all the different geysers.

I bought a Model 3 back in 2020 and got the self-driving option mostly on a whim. Until recently, it was a handy feature on freeways but a gimmick on surface streets. Ever since the update a couple months ago, it actually does drive itself. I can't remember the last time I intervened. If I did, it was probably to make the car do something dangerous or technically in violation of traffic laws, as you have to be aggressive sometimes in city driving.

You also have people like John Carmack saying, "I have made multiple two hour drives without touching the wheel." His main complaint is that the car makes him touch the steering wheel if he's wearing sunglasses (because it can't track his eyes to determine whether he's paying attention).

I don't think owners will rent out their cars as taxis any time soon, but the technology really does seem to be there.

> Top post for this thread mocks 12K as a negligible handout, and claims UBI has never been tried.

Top post says it's not enough to quit their jobs (and keep the same lifestyle, presumably) or to get a "nice" apartment. That doesn't make it negligible.

And the claim of never really trying is also true, these tests tend to be small and pick random people out of a big crowd.

> Let me ask you what level of UBI would support a disabled mother of two that cant work?

That depends on whether the children are getting UBI, or whether there is a separate program for poor children. But UBI for the mother alone should not be expected to pay for that situation.

> What level of UBI would allow a construction worker to quit their job and go back to engineering school?

Well we don't fix tuition prices through UBI. Or the housing crisis.

But let's see. 20 years ago, adjusted for inflation, you could easily get a dorm bed for $4000 per school year at a big school. (Yes I know that doesn't cover the entire year.) So if we can just do that again, and charge a reasonable tuition (my local college is about $2500 per year right now and that number would be fine) then $12k of UBI would let someone go to school.
What a totally bogus title.

The lies being pushed here may create errors in AI summaries. The FTC ban on noncompetes has NOT been upheld but has been put on hold.

"On July 3, 2024, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas granted a preliminary injunction staying enforcement of the Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) final rule prohibiting noncompetition employment agreements. The injunction is limited to the parties in that case, but it likely signals the FTC rule will ultimately fail to survive judicial scrutiny."

The actual title of the linked article is "FTC, DOJ, and International Enforcers Issue Joint Statement on AI Competition Issues"

The actual statement is about AI stuff having nothing to do with noncompetes.

"Today, FTC Chair Lina M. Khan, alongside international antitrust enforcers and the Department of Justice, Antitrust Division, issued a statement affirming a commitment to protecting competition across the artificial intelligence (AI) ecosystem to ensure effective competition that provides fair and honest treatment for both consumers and businesses. "

As usual, despite talking about consumers, its very focused on protecting businesses.
Plumbers, Truck drivers, Electricians, etc command 6 figure incomes and are mostly debt-free for choosing to take a different route to success and stability.

Also, men just aren't approaching anymore becasue it's too socially and financially risky to do so. School, Work, Church and now the Gym are off limits. So what are the options available for women to meet the smart, ambitious, moral, fit and attractive men?

There hasn't been enough women pushing back against the toxicity from their vocal minority. So some "good" men have decided to quiet quit.

Getting a 250k job at FAANG is P hard. There is a finite set of tasks that you have to execute to get a job at one of those.

Starting a business is NP hard. At the end of the day, you have to convince people to give you money in some form and way, and that is not a guarantee. You could land on a lucrative idea, or you could do trial and error, failing every time.

Furthermore, once you have either, maintaining a FAANG job is much easier than maintaining a business.

A better way to organise and find papers I've looked at before. For example, being able to ask an LLM "what was that paper again that tried using X to solve Y but ran into some issue" which I vaguely remember skimming a month ago but only just realised that it might actually be useful to me, and it will find the right one from my reference manager and/or subset of my browser history.
not sure how it drives competitors out of business. OpenAI is losing money on queries not on model creation. This opensource model has no impact of their business model of charging users money to run queries.

on a side note OpenAI is losing users on its own. It doesn't need meta to put it out of business.
It's more about what distro the hardware vendor supports.
