All you could find were 4 examples in 2023? Hardly a long list, wouldn't you say?

I think my Android updates caused way more issues in one year and that's running an immutable HW that's well know and understood by the manufacturer, so 4 issues per year for Windows doesn't sound too bad, even though I had zero in 2023.
Even with the downtrend, is it not interesting that half of customers that trued Tesla went back to gas? Wonder what the broader EV owner stats are… how many try EVs and go back?
Entropy itself is as good a case as you can make against reality simulation. Trees fall in the forest and do make a sound; and with that sound they produce more information than is feasible to simulate. The infinite complexity of reality would be unnecessary or even debilitating to recreate artificially.

Windows does do that by default. If it fails to boot, it will start an "Automatic Repair" screen and it will offer to disable drivers (ie: Safe Mode), or sometime just disable the driver itself.

The problem is that CrowdStrike doesn't want to let you start the computer without it running. It's the reason why it's an ELAM driver - it's marked as required for boot, so Windows won't try to boot without it, much like it won't if you remove crucial hardware drivers. I guess what they are trying to avoid is malware crashing the kernel driver which then gets disabled letting the malware roam free, without realizing that the cure is worse than the disease.
I name hosts after a place in the city I live in that is not where I live. Some hostnames from recent years are khamovnik, whitby, zamalek, sanduny.

It's interesting because it makes me consider places that I don't go to every day, and then rate them for "hostnameability" and so on. Ends up with hostnames being quite memorable.
How does that impact the present? If it's no longer as vulnerable today, why would I care about the past? The point is learning from mistakes and fixing them so that doesn't happen again.

I remember looking at the hypergraph stuff a while back and thinking "this can't possibly handle the double slit experiment". I looked through the different pages and found no references to it. I shrugged and moved on. A few years later another blog post by one of the members went up saying "of course we can explain the double slit experiment, from the beginning. We left it out of the early posts on purpose so someone else could do it and get some credit, but nobody took us up on it, what a sad world". It went on with some further hand waving that I didn't understand. It all just felt like a sure sign of brokenness.

My first Linux machine was `congo`. My oldest extent one is `volga`. And my beefiest (biggest) machine is `nile`.

If I were you, and didn't want boring job-themed names, choose a theme and use it.

You could choose mountains, and your biggest machine could be `everest`, while your most sacred could be `olympus`.

Or you could choose cities, Pokemon, anime characters, authors, fish, mammals, etc. Any category with a lot of items. Seas, for example, won't work because there aren't many.
Pokemon.

Bonus: If you remember the numbers and do static assigment, now you have a scheme to map names to IP addresses in your head. An old Pokemon poster becomes an address lookup table.

Any familiar theme with an ordering (periodic table?) should do the same!
I really wish I was more passionate about tech, but I'm not. I open IDE in my private time about once per year. Computers just aren't that fun to me anymore, they became the symbol of the absurdity of modern society. I greatly prefer to have a walk outside.

This is sad and I'd love to have my hobby back, but I don't see a way I could change this.

Differences in particular representations or the generation process are not very interesting, what matters is the stuff encoded in it. And as I said, calling a model a token predictor is right, but kind of misses the forest for the trees, it's an argument on a lower abstraction level that is not very useful.

The biological capabilities of a single human are also not very impressive, by the way. 90% (made up number) of what you consider your intelligence is actually the result of the biological evolution and social processes accumulating and abstracting the knowledge over endless generations. Hypothetical you raised without any contact with other humans, society, culture, education will be substantially different. So the processes are not just in your brain.

Whether you or me are doing "reasoning" is the matter of definition, and it's a really vague term. If you try to define it with more precision, you might come up with an idea that all we do is post-rationalizing the result of our blind prediction.

> This type of wording is problematic because it conflates what is written as representative of our psyche when it does not.

It definitely is representative, in some way. Human civilization did a huge amount of combined computation to encode the human behavior (personal, social, all kinds) into abstractions/semantics hidden in the language and text. Surely it can be recovered with some precision by statistical analysis and some computation. Which is what a large language model does.

Of course this "reverse engineering" approach has limitations. The model might not be able to generalize well enough to pick up higher level semantics. It might be architecture-limited. Some data might just not be in the dataset. The model will never be able to 100% copy humans without having an extremely precise biological reference, as well as you'll never be able to copy a dolphin, alien, or a model. But having an artificial human is not the point of this, and the achievable precision might be just good enough.

I agree that push_back/pop_back is a bit clunky, but I've gotten used to it tbh.

What I haven't gotten used to is the terms "shift" and "unshift" from other languages. But I never get confused by C++'s push_front/pop_front.

And I think the consistency has some value. Is it enough value to warrant the extra verbosity? Meh, I think it's more or less a wash.

Ok, yet another personality test that has no demonstrated scientific validity. The only one that does is the Big Five, I believe.

Personally, I’m a fan of the Enneagram. But it, too, has no scientific backing.
If it doesn’t matter to you, why did you ask? Are you just trying to win an argument or are you being intellectually honest? Because you asked for proof of the long history someone claimed. You could have just said “the long history doesn’t matter because I only care about the current state”. That’s fine and valid, but don’t ask questions and then shift the goalposts if you don’t like the answers.

> they designed the api that way, they decided what can be done in userland and what must be done via kernel

They didn’t have much of a choice - it is very hard to get adequate performance with real-time filesystem filtering without doing it in kernel mode. Not aware of any other mainstream OS which succeeds at that.

And they kind of had to provide this feature, since they’ve supported it since forever (antivirus vendors were already doing it back in the days of MS-DOS and Windows 3.x/9x/Me), and there is a lot of market demand for it. It is easy for Linux to say “no” when it never has had support for it (in official kernels)

But, as the blog post points out, it sounds like CrowdStrike is doing a lot of stuff in kernel mode that could be done in user mode instead - whether due to laziness or lack of investment or lack of sophistication of their product architects

> they at least _allowed_ it to happen every time

Microsoft, in allowing third party code to be loaded into their kernel, is no different from other major OS kernels, such as Linux or Apple XNU.

Apple is (increasingly) the most restrictive about this, and a lot of people criticise them for it.

Even Linux imposes some restrictions-which kernel symbols to export (at all or as GPL-only)—although of course being open source, you can circumvent all restrictions by changing the code and recompiling
I do that too! I tear napkins in half, sometimes quarters, then I keep the small bits and use them later. Or use the napkin from the table to mop up spills if it didn't get used much. That sort of thing.
Congrats on taking a reasonable conversation and turning it ugly. I don’t know what your angle is but the way you’re reacting needs some work.

That's very different from what you said initially.

You didn't say that the Ukrainians "decided" not to negotiate for a cease fire (meaning, to accept Putin's demands for recognized sovereignty over the occupied regions).

What you said (twice, for emphasis) was that they "were told not to".

As if they are simply incapable of making such decisions for themselves, and just do what their Western handlers tell them to do.

But also at this point the people who share your opinion need to stop buying the product. It has been this same product for many years and it’s never promised a computer-like experience (save for a certain short-lived and misguided advertisement). That’s why it’s so tiring to hear this kind of stuff.

I own an iPad for my kitchen as a recipe and web browsing/YouTube machine. I paid under $400 for it and it is a great appliance for that job.

But people who want more functionality shouldn’t buy it.

Buy the product that is shipped, not the product that you want it to be in the future.
On please, if it were that tough then teenage me never would have managed it. 20 years ago, e.g. 2004 (I first installed it in 2001), installing Linux and getting networked was already user friendly. The only hitch I ever had was figuring out ndiswrapper, but my ethernet cards all worked "out of the box" and installers handled the bootloader without users even having to know what a bootloader was. It's not like 20 years ago was the 90s or something, and the dark days of Windows lasted well into the 00s.

I don't think Slack (or similar) should be a primary alert mechanism.

But, if alarms are configured in a clean way, ideally your team is getting some warnings and such there and then if there's an alert that needs to actually page, it sends that to PagerDuty or whatever platform you use along with another message to Slack.

I own it for my kitchen browsing and YouTube. I paid less than $400 because of those limitations. I just want a recipe and content appliance that is small, cheap, and has good battery life.

That’s why I think this is tiring…the people who want it to be more than it is should just take their money elsewhere. Samsung will happily sell you an iPad clone that has more power user capability and is a great product.
If you have 3 tap regions already adjacent before enlargement, how does enlarging them help? Like the w, a and s keys on a keyboard. Making the regions larger will just make them overlap.
The book's technical reviewer is David Tolnay [0] who authored some of Rust's ubiquitous crates: `anyhow`, `thiserror`, `serde`.

Since Apple Silicon debuted, I've been naming my machines after early computers. My M1 Macbook Air was named "Eniac" and my M3 Max Macbook Pro is named "Whirlwind". Also, not exactly the same but my phone is named "Memex", which I think is both cute and appropriate.

To add to mschuster's great details below: remove all jewelry, watches, etc. when working with sources (even low voltage ones) that can provide very high current. In this instance, think of 12v lead-acid batteries that can deliver hundreds of amps into a dead short.

If the dead short path happens to be through your wedding ring, your finger can be deeply burned before your neuromuscular reflex can break the circuit.
This just sounds like justifying complaining.

CrowdStrike partners literally get paid to deal with cybersecurity incidents like this one. That’s why they have jobs.

It's a bit of a stretch to call 1946 a similar place.

In 1946 there was a lot of pent-up demand for housing and consumer durables and a young fast-growing population. Now, not so much.

It's also a stretch to call 1990 a similar place for similar reasons.

We really are in a never-before-seen place with our current population age structure (old age dependency ratio) and fertility rates.
I did point out that from 20 years there seems not to be the same maintenance that we had.

> ... concerns that Chinese authorities could force ByteDance to hand over U.S. user data or sway public opinion ... the potential for what it called “covert content manipulation” by the Chinese government ... China could for example further its existing malign influence operations

So many hypotheticals! The only concrete "manipulation" is the "heating", which boils down to TikTok inorganically showing you a video they want you to watch (e.g. I get spoonfed videos from the TikTok CEO), which isn't great but falls far short of the claims DoJ makes around manipulation.

Sending sensitive (or any) user data back to Beijing is awful, but the fact that they have to pile speculation into every one of these stories shows that there's really not a lot there.
Sorry, I didn't mean to phrase my comment so harshly! I was just thinking that it's odd to make a claim that sounds so obvious that everyone should agree with it. But really it does make sense to state the obvious just in order to establish common ground, especially when everyone is so confused. (Unfortunately in this case your statement was so obviously true that it wrapped around; everyone apparently thought you must have meant something else, and misinterpreted it).

I don't think it is bizarre. I see lots of MBAs running things. They don't have the engineering background, they have the "resources management" background.

I think engineer brings the numbers to management to decide course.

I prefer the situation where the CTO has no MBA and worked their way up - but that is uncommon IME.

So, in many orgs, engineer puts their comms hat on an presents a solid case.

The engineer who can communicate well, and show the metrics is typically the one who can get promoted to the decision maker role. First from the bottom up, then as a great leader

Good question. I would say anyone developing new materials in a lab would benefit from the kind of physics-based models we have in PyBaMM. Organizations is a pretty broad term but I assume you mean companies in which case probably the number as a fraction of all companies dealing with batteries in some way is quite small, but the value of those companies is disproportionately large - think big car manufacturers and also companies dealing in more extreme environments like aerospace and also for heavy vehicles e.g. Fortescue who are electrifying their mining trucks. All the companies building cells and materials for cells doing cell design will certainly benefit from physical modelling. Validation of the packages is strong - PyBaMM has many peer reviewed citations. Validation of the numbers in the simulations for specific cells is probably weak and that's a real pain point in the industry that ionworks is working to address
