We need to distinguish between modalities of machine intelligence and proceed to set policy tailored to each specific type. (Arguably) we can further include the variable of private, public control; and the orthogonal matter of private or public service.

Machine intelligence is anthropomorphic in utility, that is it serves as either surrogate or substitute for a human cognitive capability. This permits enumeration of AI utility categories. Broadly we can distinguish between creative, knowledgeable, analytical, judicial, predictive, and directing.

As an example use of this approach, consider the case of the AI trained on all public domain material and optionally having had training access to private matter (think Vatican archives). Such an instance should generally not be afforded creative rights, but we would be remiss to restrict its utility as a knowledge base.

The other parameters noted in terms of dual of public|private can of course have bearing on setting type specific constraints.

I have a similar-sized array which I also only power on nightly to receive backups, or occasionally when I need access to it for a week or two at a time.

It's a whitebox RAID6 running NTFS (tried ReFS, didn't like it), and has been around for 12+ years, although I've upgraded the drives a couple times (2TB --> 4TB --> 16TB) - the older Areca RAID controllers make it super simple to do this. Tools like Hard Disk Sentinel are awesome as well, to help catch drives before they fail.

I have an additional, smaller array that runs 24x7, which has been through similar upgrade cycles, plus a handful of clients with whitebox storage arrays that have lasted over a decade. Usually the client ones are more abused (poor temperature control when they delay fixing their serveroom A/C for months but keep cramming in new heat-generating equipment, UPS batteries not replaced diligently after staff turnover, etc...).

Do I notice a difference in drive lifespan between the ones that are mostly-off vs. the ones that are always-on? Hard to say. It's too small a sample size and possibly too much variance in 'abuse' between them. But definitely seen a failure rate differential between the ones that have been maintained and kept cool, vs. allowed to get hotter than is healthy.

I can attest those 4TB HGST drives mentioned in the article were tanks. Anecdotally, they're the most reliable ones I've ever owned. And I have a more reasonable sample size there as I was buying dozens at a time for various clients back in the day.

In this case, yes, upgraded with miles to first. I have made this fight ~500 times over the last 15 years, in coach, premium, business and first. While first is nice, the hours back are still worth more.
What kind of complexity is actually entailed by adding additional codepoints? Does it require changes to the structure and composition of the encoding, or is it just more stuff that's exactly the same in form as the other stuff?
Show HN: Wordle but Using Common Mispellings

The failure rate is not truly random with a nice normal distribution of failures over time. There are sometimes higher rates in specific batches or they can start failing altogether etc.

Backblaze reports always are interesting insights into how consumers drives behave under constant load.
Essentially, it’s straddling two extremes:

1) employees are trusted with secrets, so we have to audit that employees are treating those secrets securely (via tracking, monitoring, etc)

2) we don’t allow employees to have access to secrets whatsoever, therefore we don’t need any auditing or monitoring
I wonder if someone could mass-produce a BD-R type media, but the size of a laser-disc, and resistant to almost all scratching. Maybe put it in a case like the old 3.5" floppy disks had?
They literally half-assed their deployment process - one part enterprisey, one part "move fast and break things".

Guess which part took down much of the corporate world?

from Preliminary Post Incident Review at https://www.crowdstrike.com/falcon-content-update-remediatio... :

"CrowdStrike delivers security content configuration updates to our sensors in two ways: Sensor Content that is shipped with our sensor directly, and Rapid Response Content that is designed to respond to the changing threat landscape at operational speed.

...

The sensor release process begins with automated testing, both prior to and after merging into our code base. This includes unit testing, integration testing, performance testing and stress testing. This culminates in a staged sensor rollout process that starts with dogfooding internally at CrowdStrike, followed by early adopters. It is then made generally available to customers. Customers then have the option of selecting which parts of their fleet should install the latest sensor release (‘N’), or one version older (‘N-1’) or two versions older (‘N-2’) through Sensor Update Policies.

The event of Friday, July 19, 2024 was not triggered by Sensor Content, which is only delivered with the release of an updated Falcon sensor. Customers have complete control over the deployment of the sensor — which includes Sensor Content and Template Types.

...

Rapid Response Content is used to perform a variety of behavioral pattern-matching operations on the sensor using a highly optimized engine.

Newly released Template Types are stress tested across many aspects, such as resource utilization, system performance impact and event volume. For each Template Type, a specific Template Instance is used to stress test the Template Type by matching against any possible value of the associated data fields to identify adverse system interactions.

Template Instances are created and configured through the use of the Content Configuration System, which includes the Content Validator that performs validation checks on the content before it is published.

On July 19, 2024, two additional IPC Template Instances were deployed. Due to a bug in the Content Validator, one of the two Template Instances passed validation despite containing problematic content data.

Based on the testing performed before the initial deployment of the Template Type (on March 05, 2024), trust in the checks performed in the Content Validator, and previous successful IPC Template Instance deployments, these instances were deployed into production."
possibly, but it certainly seems to be a common failure mode
Shamelessly plugging my own blog post on this: https://specbranch.com/posts/knight-capital/

The TL;DR of Knight is that Knight had several things go wrong at the same time, and had no circuit breaker for the problem that did not stop trading for the whole firm for the day. Most trading firms have had things go badly, but the holes in the Swiss cheese aligned for Knight (and they were larger than many other firms). This all comes from a sort of culture of carelessness.

Microsoft pivoted to the internet very successfully in the 90s under Gates, and the stock went up like a rocket.

Nadella didn't arrive until a full 10 years later.

I appreciate the value Nadella brought to the company (as I own some MSFT), but have pivoted away from Windows to Linux for development work. I remain with Windows 7 for other uses, so much so I bought a complete set of spare parts for my Win7 box for when it inevitably fails.
The height of the vehicle makes it really difficult for the driver to see obstructions.

In general, I think new emoji is going to be more persuasive to the average person to update than 'bugfixes to VCard deserialisation in the Contacts app' or the other usual release notes.
Normally more services and fewer repos.

From my experience.
Not OP, but there are quite few of them in SoCal. Once I saw it in person, I changed my mind about its looks. It's quite striking.
Agreed, and to add to the list…

It is about most pedestrian hostile design possible with those sharp corners. How it’s allowed on the roads boggles my mind.

Also it is owner hostile. What other vehicle can you not resell?

Finally, the body panels are all wavy when viewed at a shallow angle. Even the cheapest of cars do not suffer from this.
I debated posting because it felt like shitstirring. I think overwhelmingly what you're doing is right. And if a remote power on eg WOL works on the device, so much the better. If I could wish for one thing, it's mods to code or documentation of how to handle drive power down on zfs. The rumour mill is zfs doesn't like spindown.
I feel like this is less of an issue than people fear. I use a Robot, and the heat retention is totally sufficient even without preheating.

It may depend a bit on your organization but I bet most folks using an EDR solution can tell you that Macs are probably very low on the list when it comes to malware. You can guess which OS you will spend time on every day ...
AES can only encrypt up to 64TB; after that you need to re-key. So you need a mechanism for rekeying anyway. Definitely a good idea to use a battle-tested tool like wireguard instead of rolling your own.
Well you try that but in general someone in a different module discovers this thing you have over here is useful and starts using it and before you know it you have everything tightly coupled to everything else.

not getting the above is hard.
Got it, "smaller vehicles" would stop and the cybertruck would not, scientific test concluded.

So you don't think there should be vehicles other than "smaller ones" on the road anymore, or just no cybertrucks?

Btw I disagree, generally in a higher up vehicle you actually have a better view down, and the cybertruck is not as a high up as a truck anyway.

But it's less about overall size and it's more about window size and the front of the car. (that's why you see buses and trucks with the flat fronts)

Also you have a human and a computer looking for objects vs just a human (and there are many humans who I don't trust on the road)
We could probably do a better job in the years leading up to the 16-18 year old start of going away to college. But we'd probably need to spend the money to customize things a lot more. One of the fun reads I had over the past year or so was from the NY Times on basically a one-room schoolhouse in Alta Utah where the kids basically spent half the day skiing. I can think of worse things.

What makes you think it's notably more dangerous than any other pickup truck or SUV?
5 drives failed in Q1 2024. 8 died in Q2. That is still a very low failure rate.
Similar problem when if you're an innocent software engineer who introduces a bug, the security people will find it, make up a fancy website and logo for it, go around giving conference talks about it, get bounties (or not), give each other prizes, post on Mastodon about it from their accounts with cool hacker nicknames, presumably go have Vegas orgies, etc. Nobody's doing that for you.

It is not the first choice of revenue of course, they and everyone would like to be Nvidia and pick and choose the customers standing patiently in line outside the door.

However in tough times, having the culture to change and deal with customers or use cases you wouldn't prefer to survive is a good sign. AMD during the bulldozer era, had many deals they didn't like or barely made money just to survive, it paid off with Ryzen, it can happen to Intel as well. Good to see Intel branching out and trying new things to turn the ship around.
I have a mini PC + 4x external HDDs (I always bought used) on Windows 10 with ReFS since probably 2016 (recently upgraded to Win 11), maybe earlier. I don't bother powering off.

The only time I had problems is when I tried to add a 5th disk using a USB hub, which caused drives attached to the hub get disconnected randomly under load. This actually happened with 3 different hubs, so I since stopped trying to expand that monstrosity and just replace drives with larger ones instead. Don't use hubs for storage, majority of them are shitty.

Currently ~64TiB (less with redundancy).

Same as OP. No data loss, no broken drives.

A couple of years ago I also added an off-site 46TiB system with similar software, but a regular ATX with 3 or 4 internal drives because the spiderweb of mini PC + dangling USBs + power supplies for HDDs is too annoying.

I do weekly scrubs.

Unless you’re high up in one of the MIC companies I need to disagree.

It is very easy for someone to dismiss such software until it is too late. The trick is in applying beneficial practices early. Even so, the software will do its best to assist even in late stages.

> It's clear to me that CrowdStrike saw this as a data update vs. a code update, and that they had much more stringent QA procedures for code updates that they did data updates.

It cannot have been a surprise to Crowdstrike that pushing bad data had the potential to bork the target computer. So if they had such an attitude that would indicate striking incompetence. So perhaps you are right.
> If OP's 2014 4 TB HGST drives are anything like this, then this is just snake oil and magic rituals and it doesn't really matter what you do.

It might matter what you do, but we only have public data for people in datacenters. Not a whole lot of people with 10,000 drives are going to have them mostly turned off, and none of them shared their data.

As long as humans are writing things, they will try to come up with new things to differentiate themselves from the humans who'd gone before, those things will be written down, and we'll probably need new code points to express them properly.

The alternative to "a new version of Unicode every year" is not stasis, but rather new and incompatible encoding schemes frothing like JavaScript frameworks.
They probably weren’t, but that still speaks to their general culture and is compatible with what we know about their kernel engineering culture (limited testing, no review, no use of common fail safe mechanisms).
Indeed, they should not share a DB (except maybe Redis as a common cache, with a single writer per item type).. But a single Postgres installation can run multiple schemas / users, so you only need to run one Postgres container locally.

If you prefer to own media instead of streaming it, are into photography, video editing, 3D modelling, any AI-related stuff (models add up) or are a digital hoarder/archivist you blow through storage rather quickly. I'm sure there are some other hobbies that routinely work with large file sizes.

Storage is cheap enough that rather than deleting 1000's of photos and never be able to reclaim or look at them again I'd rather buy another drive. I'd rather have a RAW of an 8 year old photo that I overlooked and decide I really like and want to edit/work with than a 87kb resized and compressed JPG of the same file. Same for a mostly-edited 240GB video file. What if I want or need to make some changes to it in the future? May as well hold onto it than have to re-edit the video or re-shoot the video if the original footage was also deleted.

Content creators have deleted their content often enough that if I enjoyed a video and think future me might enjoy rewatching the video - I download it rather than trust that I can still watch it in the future. Sites have been taken offline frequently enough that I download things. News sites keep restructuring and breaking all their old article links so I download the articles locally. JP artists are notorious for deleting their entire accounts and restarting under a new alias that I routinely archive entire Pixiv/Twitter accounts if I like their art as there is no guarantee it will still be there to enjoy the next day.

It all adds up and I'm approaching 2 million well-organized and (mostly) tagged media files in my Hydrus client [0]. I have many scripts to automate downloading and tagging content for these purposes. I very, very rarely delete things. My most frequent reason for deleting anything is "found in higher quality" which conceptually isn't really deleting.

Until storage costs become unreasonable I don't see my habits changing anytime soon. On the contrary - storage keeps getting cheaper and cheaper and new formats keep getting created to encode data more and more efficiently.

Rivian is expanding into Europe including its commercial van, which is a product that Tesla should have made given that EVs are perfectly suited to delivery vehicles.

Tesla should be coming out with a three row family vehicle similar to the EV9 or ID Buzz but they wasted resources on a niche $100k truck that will inevitably (in the long term) be snuffed out by Ford, GM, and RAM pushing the kind of volume that they do with trucks.

Drives have a bathtub curve, but if you want you can be conservative and estimate first year failure rates throughout. So that's p=5/10000 for drive failure. So chance of no-failure per year (because of our assumption) is 1-p. So, chance of no-failure per ten year is (1-p)^10 or about 99.5%
