I kind of tried to replicate your experiment (in German where "Erdbeere" has 4 E) that went the same way. The interesting thing was that after I pointed out the error I couldn't get it to doubt the result again. It stuck to the correct answer that seemed kind of "reinforced".

It was also interesting to observe how GPT (4o) even tried to prove/illustrate the result typographically by placing the same word four times and putting the respective letter in bold font (without being prompted to do that).
Let me just say that any day in my professional and intellectual life that I interact with someone showing "innate interest" in topics at hand and a healthy amount of "refusal to give up", is a good day for me.

If you're looking for some honest, profound, and witty reading in terms of intellectual self-doubt and brilliance, skim through _I've Been Thinking_, the excellent biography of the recently deceased philosopher, Daniel C Dennett.
Apple has the best emoji's, without a doubt. Everything else is wish.com garbage - especially Twitter.
This is real. We got severely hit by their bots causing our service to go unresponsive.
There are good emulators available now, including Delta that covers most of the early-mid eras of gaming.
The value proposition of Crowdstrike is exactly that: something that you can deploy to tick the regulatory checkbox of "we have endpoint protection from a reputable company everywhere" without consuming outrageous system resources.

That's why they have so many enterprise customers. They're the only game in town that won't slow down your servers arbitrarily while still convincing an auditor that you do have an antivirus.

Too bad they also crash your whole system every now and then.
Yeah and given how often we get it wrong as parents, imagine the absolute dumpster fire it would be to have a voice assistant get it 10x as wrong.
aha! i should have looked in the assembly. in opensolaris it's opensolaris/usr/src/lib/libc/amd64/sys/door.s line 121; as far as i can see the file hasn't changed at all except for being renamed to door.S. and of course the assembly doesn't call the struct field di_proc, it defines a struct field address macro

so door_return (or, in opensolaris, __door_return) is the elusive door_recv syscall, eh?

(i'll follow the rest of your links later to read the code)

i wonder if spring (which was never released afaik) used a different implementation, maybe a more efficient one

this is strongly reminiscent of ipc in liedtke's l4 (which doesn't implicitly create threads) or in keykos (which only has one thread in a domain)

thank you so much for figuring this out!
my push back on this is that unless you have a pretty robust visual design system the outputs are going to be incredibly unoriginal. Yes it will make solving UX problems faster but at the cost of visual differentiation. There is always going to be a place for high fidelity exploration for styling innovation and brand identity.
Crowdstrike's impact was more than Delta's cancelled flights? How did you arrive at the conclusion it was limited to Delta?

Even still, Delta had a really bad time recovering, and is still cancelling flights days later. It's not just "a day or two". At a billion a week, with 30-40% cancellation rates, that's 300-400M just for this one customer. And that's just lost revenue. Imagine the extra costs: customer service complaints, hardware / IT restoration, extra wages for flight attendants working double duty to keep the remaining flights going. Madness.

Even just in travel segment, how many hotels, car rentals, uber/lyft rides, etc were cancelled b/c of missed flights? How much do you think they paid on top of the lost revenue to handle customer complaints, IT restoration, etc?

The repair costs alone at a given airport must be staggering, as every terminal screen is BSOD and needs a tech to manually restore from bitlocker.

creating a whole fake proc is simple. I mean the code is already in the kernel as a module. Just copy it, put a few if/else's in the code to control what its readdir ( this case just pid's there's proc_readdir() that calls proc_pid_readdir(), just modify that very simply).

mount is a bit harder (as its calls into code that is more in the core kernel fs code, but one can just reimplement it oneself, to filter out the mounts you don't want to show.
That's essentially phone book information. The internet makes it easier to find, but it's all stuff that's public in pretty much every country. GDPR is concerned more about actual personal information from what I've seen.
Huh. I thought I was pretty clear asking about laptops. Let me worry about the CPU and disk.
You're free to choose an EDR vendor that allows you to defer definition updates. Remember, this is enterprise sales for multi-billion dollar companies, so the usual excuse of "take it or leave it" doesn't really apply.

We haven't found this to be an issue for Pnut. One of the metric we use for performance is how much time it takes to bootstrap Pnut, and dash takes around a minute which is about the time taken by bash. This is with Pnut allocating around 150KB of memory when compiling itself, showing that Dash can still be useful even when hundreds of KBs are allocated.

One thing we did notice is that subshells can be a bottleneck when the environment is large, and so we avoided subshells as much as possible in the runtime library. Did you observe the same in your testing?
I feel like there's an unmet market opportunity here for a physical timer that is voice activated without a connection to the internet.
One could almost wonder if the explosion of gTLDs in the 2010s has been pushed by registrars as they were seeing Big Money. In (my personal) retrospective, the value for Internet users and their actual usage is vanishingly small--compared to the downsides of massively increased phishing risks and, as you mentioned, the need for companies/brands to nowadays having to register (and pay for) a gazillion of irrelevant TLDs, merely for brand protection and abuse prevention.

Oh you're right, the pixels of an emoji are really going to be what reverses Twitter's loss of advertisers and active user counts
The way different platforms render emojis can change their perceived meaning. The most famous example is probably the pre-2016 Apple version of "grinning face with smiling eyes" which looked like a cringing face than a grinning one [1]. Obviously Apple eventually fixed that one, but if you want people to communicate across platforms without misunderstandings you should really ship your own emojis that are consistent everywhere.

And conversely, how many good ideas have you proposed to have them put on "next quarter"'s schedule?
Every day the costs of prevention go up, and the costs of mitigation get even higher.

With politics in the equation, it's better to kick the can down the road and let someone else deal with it than to shoulder the cost now and save the future literal trillions.

See also: American infrastructure.

If there was a generally accepted method for reporting future liabilities and politicians could be graded on how much they addressed those, rather than the immediate keep taxes low pressure they seem to respond to, we might be better off. Then again, there are voters that would rather save a hundred bucks in taxes today even if ten years later they'll have to fork out thousands.
Sure, those have happened before, but nothing with an impact like last weekend. That's inexcusable. At least definitions can update themselves out of trouble.
Such a thin veiled whistle blow against woke culture. The very concept of corporate-curated glyphs restricts and normalises communication to a limited range of concepts pre-approved by the architects of consumer culture. But apparently this is only a problem to you when it tries to discourage armed violence.
Realistically speaking, the liability lies with every individual organization that installed the corporate spyware on their systems.
It's not though, it also affects those who live anywhere within the M25, which would be generous to call "London", particularly the more neglected parts, in public transport terms in the south and south-east.
... Linux was a hobby project copying UNIX. And Windows NT's "good design and professional pedigree" must be subtle because Windows is a hot, disorganized mess that's hell to use or develop in.
Agreed that in most cases all this extra work and attention to detail is essentially wasted effort that never sees the light of day.

But it’s possible to extract value from it if you have a culture where designers build prototypes, and you can use those prototypes for user testing, feedback, demos and pitches, while the code is being built. But it’s rare that companies have this culture.
Strlcpy and how CPUs can defy common sense
Another random comment. I left Google to do an AI startup. I agree with your general observation and have many highly specific hair-raising observations to back it up. I cannot tell based on your erratic contributions if you are GPT 3.5.
How exactly is Bitsight collecting the data used in this analysis? I understand it’s just a sampling, but how are they sampling traffic between two arbitrary parties (Crowdstrike and customers in this case)?
Yes. It took me some days to discover (around 1997 in universitys lab, with some donated DN3000s) that setting the date in the past will fix it, with the expense of a salvol, which could take even half of hour.
What would you name Hydrogen and Oxygen?
hmm i was talking with my little sister about picking up some of their stock because these things always just blow over and the stock reverts back to where it basically was in time.

I don't think many enterprises will switch because of the effort required and, instead, they'll just yell at the account reps for a while and then go back to paying the invoice. However, a big lawsuit is something i didn't think of.

I find it hard to believe that any active moderators don't already know about it. Every thread here recently has a ton of grayed out, often spammy, comments at the bottom that should really have the posters banned.

A multimodal dataset with one trillion tokens
I think in the future product designers will shift into two factions. Live code generation and design system development. Design systems will be the backbone of any quality AI interface generation system. How we build those design systems will be the interesting part. Will most people unify around material/carbon or will they invest in house teams to ensure their UX doesn't fall behind the competition?
Well the comment I replied to didn't event try to quantify the total impact, and only mentioned delta flights being canceled. There might be a bazillion other ways it can add up to $5.4B, but "flights Delta cancelled and will be on the hook to refund" does not come anywhere close to justifying that number.
That's really interesting, I wonder if a Haiku on Linux could use it.

Does any one of the top models have access to the internet and googling things? I want an LLM to look things up and do casual research for me when I’m lazy.
I think what's more likely is their stock will drop for a while, this will blow over, and everyone will continue to pay their licence fees as if nothing ever happened. Don't underestimate the inertia, ineptitude, and resistance to change that permeates the upper echelons of large corps.
On the other hand, I have--for better or worse--default brands for most of that stuff and I go to a Walmart every six months and load up my cart.

Noone is saying that.

I'm simply saying you're talking about Twitter right now because of it, and it was a small change.

You know it was if you're an engineer, let's not play dumb.

Not sure why everything relating to X has to be so hostile.

Even then it takes a good bit of luck. Identities change, and kids (and some adults) are rebellious by nature.

My parents did a great job. Sobriety was a core part of my identity throughout high-school and I'd proudly express that I had no desire to use drugs or alcohol. That lasted to the ripe old age of 20, which to be fair was longer than most of my peers.

Because of how infrastructure is built you experience bicycles a lot closer and therefore they might feel more dangerous than cars. When you stop to think of it it is not strange, but when it comes to bicycles there is always someone who forget.
Most of this report is just noise. GitHub repos are public. Public stuff can be shared. Public stuff shared previously and then deleted is "still available", but it was shared previously and not really subject to security analysis.

The one thing they seem to be able to show is that commits in private branches show up in the parent repository if you know the SHAs. And that seems like a real vulnerability. But AFAICT it also requires that you know the commit IDs, which is not something you can get via brute forcing the API. You'd have to combine this with a secondary hole (like the ability to generate a git log, or exploiting a tool that lists its commit via ID in its own metadata, etc...).

Not nothing, but not "anyone can access private data on GitHub" as advertised.
Exactly. The customer is to blame here, not the seller. Buyer beware.

If airlines skimp on maintenance and planes crash, well, all those dead passengers should have picked an airline that takes maintenance more seriously. Next time they'll know better.
PR advertisement stunt disguised as an uninformative nothingburger blog post.
Now do the same for .io .site and .cc

I've see tons of phishing from those domains.
Even the ones who eventually take down sites that I report, they don't look for other sites/domains from the same scammers or that have the same content, and they don't do anything to stop the same person from getting another domain and then putting the exact same content on it.

I shouldn't be hard for a company to identify most of these scammers. They are not subtle. Very basic automated checks to see what content is being served from new domains based on previously discovered phishing sites could catch a lot of it. Company's just aren't required by law to care so they don't.

Even big companies are terrible when it comes to phishing. I found out recently that for some google sites you can't even report the phishing site to Google without first signing into a google account. Why someone should have to hand over their personal info to Google in order to report a phishing site is beyond me. It's bad enough that Google refuses to respect RFC 2142 and accept reports at an abuse@ address. Internet standards exist to prevent exactly this kind of bullshit.
I'm not sure why people call it censorship. Nothing is being censored.
Ah that makes a lot more sense as an attack vector. Thanks for explaining! Indeed, checking a list of common .zip file names, most of them are registered domains. Uhhh.

Agh, completely fair. The topic was about Linux and I incorrectly presumed that the original comment was made in the same context. My mistake.
Diplomatic purposes? What does that mean? And what about people without an SSN?
I jumped to the conclusion after realizing this was largely an ad piece.

Also kind of funny for BitSight to be claiming how much data they have to improve security. Yet, a massive change in traffic volumes is only surfaced in a hindsight analysis.
> The core issue is that Amazon envisioned Alexa as a product that would help it increase sales. Smart home features were always an afterthought. How convenient would it be if people could shout "Alexa order me Tide Pods" from wherever they were in their home and the order got magically processed? That demo definitely got applause from a boardroom full of execs.

I disagree. The issue here is they had a really great use-case and utterly failed to deliver to the end user. No one is requesting their smart assistants to order anything because there is absolutely no support on the platforms + absolutely no user trust of how that is going to go.

If all they ever did was niche their assistant down to being a smart shopping list, it would have been a great product, and likely would have driven sales. Instead they failed at even the thing they would have been had an advantage on (selling things to customers who are buying from them directly). Google and apple would have been operating through a black box of "privacy preserving apis" to do the same with their own integrations.

Then they proceeded to suck at the stuff all the other assistants also suck at.
Some others have mentioned this in their comments and I agree that once you succeed in getting a non-null result, publishing the null results (all the things you tried that didn't work) could be included as appendices or something.

Also, just because you get a null result doesn't mean that nothing was learned, that something new (and unexpected) wasn't stumbled on, or that some innovation didn't happen.

There are tiers of publications and journals. Even if you get a null result and you're not going to get it accepted in Nature, it's very possible that you can get a conference paper (sometimes peer reviewed) out of something that was learned.
What does self-love mean to you?
We published a load of null results in particle physics. Simply go to arxiv.org and look for papers beginnig with “search for…” that would be a null result. Well technically a sigma<3 result.
I must be missing something.

Why wouldn't something like 'echo "kill -KILL $(ps -C [name] -o pid=)" | at now + 2 minutes' work? You obviously need to run this before the new processes are started up, but it will only do the `kill` 2 minutes later after the new processes are started.

To expand on what the above command does:

1. echo is to print out a command to add as the job for the `at` command

2. kill command sends the KILL signal (you can also do -9, but I prefer names like TERM or INT or KILL for clarity), and "materializes" the PID when it's echoed out, and does not get re-run after 2 minutes

3. at command allows you to schedule execution of a command on POSIX systems (see https://linux.die.net/man/1/at)
That's true, but who are the executives that buy this and then force developers to create a monstrous architecture that has all sorts of race conditions outside of the ledger?
There's this, which is more "will we fire all the designers?" (No), and there's the other massive problem: they were a nice, simple, web-native thing that was easily positioned to displace Photoshop and Sketch.app.

They never really successfully landed things that we used to call "major version bumps" and it's devolved into quite a mess. Not anywhere near Photoshop-level, but...it's a strange situation to me because you could build a successful business based on the premise of "that, but only 60% of it, with 5% of the headcount"

Energy Healing, Minus the Nonsense
How is this even remotely sustainable let alone so low-margin that it could be "given away for free"?

The only reason folks are only paying a small monthly subscription for gippity is literally because of all the VC money flowing in. Training, running, and scaling this stuff has a huge cost. The extra datacentres, the fresh water, all the air conditioning, energy usage, chips, the exploited unprotected labour, etc. It seems very expensive.

Usually when people selling shovels are giving shovels away for free they're banking on a payoff. Usually a regulatory capture payoff. Or a hedge of some kind?

I'm still trying to wrap my head around this.

Update: .. VC money flowing in and the extremely favourable taxation "exceptions" for tech companies in thirsty economies...
Even after a private repo is made public, it's common practice for new functionality to be worked on in private until it's ready.
