for their own cloud, yeah, you basically accept their cloud as an extension of your devices. but the back-end they use(d?), Splunk, does have scrubbing capability they can expose to customers, if actual customers requested it.

In reality, you can take steps to prevent PII from being logged by Crowdstrike, but credentials are too non-standard to meaningfully scrub. It would be an exercise in futility. If you trust them to have unrestricted access to the credential, the fact that they're inadvertently logging it because of the way your applications work should not be considered an increase in risk.

I guess it’s talking about how the TCP data stream is segmented into IP packets. From the IP point of view, there are packets; from the application point of view there is a data stream; but it’s more complicated than that. Applications have some control over when TCP’s PSH flag is set, roughly speaking, at the end of each write(); and that in turn affects segmentation because small pushed writes cause small packets. But if the sender can’t send straight away then buffered data doesn’t preserve write() boundaries and will be sent with large packets.

Guatemala (arbitrary choice) spent 35% of their income on food in 2016, but 66% were overweight or obese.

I don't know what's causing obesity, but it doesn't seem to be income, given everyone worldwide exploded into fatness around 1980.

I've tried both. One time I actually tried so hard that I ran out of context, and aider just dumped me back to the main prompt. I don't think It's possible to guide it any more than that.

My problem is that the solution is right there in the paper. I just have to understand it. Without first understanding that paper, I can't possibly guide the AI towards a reasonable implementation. The process of finding the implementation is exactly the understanding of the paper, and the AI just doesn't help me with that. In fact, all too often I would ask it to make some minor change, and it would start making random changes all over the file, completely destroying my mental model of how the program worked. Making it change that back completely pulls me out of the problem.

When it's a junior at my job, at least I can feel like I'm developing a person. They retain the conversation and culture I impart as part of the problem solving process. When I struggle against the computer, it's just a waste of my time. It's not learning anything.

Or people say "I've been pumping out thousands of lines of perfectly good code by writing paragraphs and paragraphs of text explaining what I want!" its like what are you programming dog? and they will never tell you, and then you look at their github and its like a dead simple starter project.

I recently built a Brainfuck compiler and TUI debugger and I tested out a few LLM's just to see if I could get some useful output regarding a few niche and complicated issues, and it just gave me garbage that looked mildly correct. Then I'm told its because I'm not prompting hard enough... I'd rather just learn how to do it at that point. Once I solve that problem, I can solve it again in the future in .25x the time.
Wow, looks like the project might still be alive. Hopefully we get a new release year.
My point is that eliminating hallucinations is just a special case of alignment: the case where we want to bound the possible text outputs to be constrained by the truth (for a value of truth defined by $SOMEONE).

Other alignment issues have a problem statement that is effectively identical, but s/truth/morals/ or s/truth/politics/ or s/truth/safety/. It's all the same problem: how do we get probabilistic text to match our expectations of what should be outputted while still allowing it to be useful sometimes?

As for whether we should be solving alignment, I'm inclined to agree that we shouldn't, but by extension I'd apply that to hallucinations. Truth, like morality, is much harder to define than we instinctively think it is, and any effort to eliminate hallucinations will run up against the problem of how we define truth.
Umm why would they bother developing a product if they're not selling it to customers?
Hard to say. They could have fiddled with the rules to make it really unappetizing and kill the market, or slowwalk every last thing (how many vaping products have been approved?). It could have taken many more years and been a lot worse, which is a tragedy for the many, many old people who seriously need it.

(Like my grandfather. I also appreciate it, because while OTC hearing aids are - for now - too weak for my hearing loss, it's providing much more competition for the prescription hearing aid oligopoly and I'm benefiting indirectly. The jump between my hearing aids from 2017 to the pair I bought this year is the largest jump in quality I've heard in my hearing aids in like 20+ years.)
No, it comes from what otherwise would've been corporate profits and consumer excess. Paying labor isn't money printing.

Is it common for Germans to fill the gap between their wages and their non discretionary expenses with credit? Or do they get paid enough to survive on wages alone (without needing to use credit to fill the gap)? Are wages sufficient because of their unions?

Worth noting that major languages seem to be moving away from this model. Rust and C# both concluded that the needs of your actual compiler are very different than the needs of an incremental tool that can run on partially written code.

What I've learned is that fixing things for these people (and even having entire teams fixing things for weeks) just leads to a continued lax attitude to testing, and leaving the fallout for others to deal with. To them, it all worked out in the end, and they get kudos for rapidly getting a solution in place.

I'm done fixing their work. I'd rather work on my own tasks than fix all the problems with theirs. I'm strongly considering moving on, as this has become an entrenched pattern.
We tried tons of nuclear power. It peaked at 18% of the global electricity mix in the 90s.

Comparatively solar sits at 5.5% today but is rapidly increasing.

If 18% of the global electricity mix is not trying hard enough then the technology did not work out.

The cost savings never materialized, it’s always been a case of negative learning by doing.

"Because they couldn't afford to eat more."

But people differ in their incomes. While there always were fat rich people, if food prices were the limiting factor, your average noble from the House of Lords of 1930 would be as fat as average people are today. And yet if you look at those black and white photos of important politicians, businesspeople etc., they were way less fat than an average contemporary student.

This is the Pacific War Council in the early 1940s. Do you believe that those people, decision makers whose decisions affected lives of millions, couldn't afford to eat ad libitum?

What database is this specific to? PostgreSQL?

Those first two are entirely invalid in T-SQL. Even attempting to write it as SELECT IIF(NULL AND 1=1, 1, 0) doesn't work. The AND operation can only be applied to a boolean type and the only way to get that is as the result of a comparison and it can't be stored or passed anywhere.

Also the UNIQUE constraint does not allow insert of a second NULL. I tried that both using the constraint syntax and by creating a unique index.

I agree with you and the article. I don't deny that there's a link between deforestation and droughts and heat waves.

My opinion is droughts and heat waves are complete non-issues if your nation is rich and developed enough. Brazilian heat is unbearable so I installed air conditioners. They eat up a lot of energy which is expensive so I installed so many solar panels on my roof that my house turned into a micro power plant which brought my energy bill to near zero. Droughts? Surely irrigation technology exists, maybe the government should try subsidizing its development and use instead of wasting time and money on their ceaseless corruption. Then we'd be able to farm plants even in the most arid climates imaginable. Whole point of technology is to not be at the mercy of geography and mother nature.

There are solutions for everything. It's just that people gotta pay for it. They can't pay for it if they're miserably poor. The government won't pay for it either because it's irredeemably corrupt. They fail to provide the most basic infrastructure and yet they actively get in your way if you try to do it yourself. We just can't have nice things.

I see these articles and I think: maybe if we had some actual industries in this place we'd be able to do all these things and so much more... I'd trade a million Amazons for a prosperous nation.

"You also have to pay attention to the signs when you multiply and divide. There are two simple rules to remember:
When you multiply a negative number by a positive number then the product is always negative.
When you multiply two negative numbers or two positive numbers then the product is always positive."

So basically you have -3x-3 and result is 9.
I also fall on the side of "stagger the rollout" (or "give customers tools to stagger the rollout"), but at the same time I recognize that a lot of customers would not accept delays on the latest malware data.

Before the incident, if you asked a customer if they would like to get updates faster even if it means that there is a remote chance of a problem with them... I bet they'd still want to get updates faster.
I've always figured that these are the lowest common denominator form of ads.

Maybe.

I think it differs because tor is specifically created to protect against surveillance; both private surveillance and state surveillance (a.k.a. law enforcement).

If a shop was actively helping people avoid surveillance, I would expect them to actively assist law enforcement, too.

I find it perfectly reasonable to consider people who actively help a project which advertises on its website that it is being used to protect against state surveillance / law enforcement to be hindering law enforcement.

Strategy? You think a bunch of people sat down and planned a specific set of rules to ensure only the “right sort” (cynical bastards), were allowed in the club?

The BOFH “culture” was the IT admin culture (exaggerated for comic effect); more cynical than anyone because they had to deal with people. It’s probably still like this. IT (or IS as it seems to have been re-branded), sits as a “cost centre”, frequently at the end of a long line of sewage pipes, coping the blame for any number of other peoples mistakes. I suspect the prickly nature is a necessary survival trait.

Cultures develop as they develop. There’s no conspiracy. They also evolve and change, and targeted interventions can push them in certain directions. “Hacker Culture” was never just one thing, and that’s never been more true than today. Certain “clubs” might have been more or less exclusionary at various times, but the scene as a whole has always been a welcoming one.
> The people agreeing to these debts, by definition, do not have an education in complex debt instruments that cannot be discharged.

I mean it's a pretty simple concept that you borrow money and you must pay it back.

However we agree that the failure is that we do not educate them enough already in the first 12 years we force upon them. For that I blame a lack of options, government "standards" which become ceilings instead of floors, and the unions that protect bad teachers, also I'll note as a foreigner in the US. The US Schools i've seen (and i'm extrapolating here to most public schools) are ran like social clubs and have far too much time devoted to bs that does not help the kids. I'm talking about extracurriculars that impede with a quality education. Football is not a subject we should be prioritizing as a nation... Formals, homecoming, spirit days etc are such a distraction from what highschool kids should be focused on -- Growing up and making a viable future for themselves.

People note that Highschool rankings in Canada are excellent, well guess what? None of that happens in Canadian highschools (that I'm aware of), there might be a school dance or two, and "Prom" is very low key, relatively. High school football is small time...
