I worry about the people who need to be told things like this. How did they survive childhood without signs warning them not to breathe water or drink the contents of thermometers?

Something about packing heat, too.
Finally, some quality content!
The best thing about this is that it’s also on the x-axis.
That’s a lot more clever than actually building this grotesque idea.
Headline and all content clearly generated by AI, and entirely lacking in substance.
Yep. I always want to give people the benefit of the doubt, but when they reveal themselves to be actual proud bigots, the likelihood that they’ll bring interesting and engaging conversation to the table drops to zero.
Plus, I don’t want to moderate a community that tolerates that crap. You know the Nazi bar thing? I don’t want to run a Nazi bar.
Dude’s banned now. Once I saw the “NPC” shit (common term from white supremacists) I realized just removing his crap wasn’t going to be enough.
You run Arch and move on.
(Am I doing this right?)
Nope. It’s a lower level kernel API that has to be accessed at boot via a driver. The API I was thinking of - and I use the term “thinking” loosely, here - is an API that userspace applications can take advantage of to scan files after boot is already complete.
I stand corrected. For some reason, I was thinking they used the actual Windows Defender API, which can be called programmatically from third-party applications, but you’re correct, it was a driver loaded at boot. Microsoft isn’t at all at fault, here.
The thing is, Microsoft’s virus-scanning API shouldn’t be able to BSOD anything, no matter what third-party software makes calls to it, or the nature of those calls. They should have implemented some kind of error handler for when the calls are malformed.
So this is really a case of both Crowdstrike and Microsoft fucking up. Crowdstrike shoulders most of the blame, of course, but Microsoft really needs to harden their API to appropriately catch errors, or this will happen again.
I’m an idiot. For some reason, I was thinking about the Windows Defender API, which can be called from third-party applications.
Seems like an argument for a heterogeneous environment, perhaps a solid and secure Linux server to host important keys like that.
I mean, I guess the way people use the term “AI” these days, sure, but we’re really beating all specificity out of the term.
Software developer, here.
It’s not actually AI. A large language model is essentially autocomplete on steroids. Very useful in some contexts, but it doesn’t “learn” the way a neural network can. When you’re feeding corrections into, say, ChatGPT, you’re making small, temporary, cached adjustments to its data model, but you’re not actually teaching it anything, because by its nature, it can’t learn.
I’m not trying to diss LLMs, by the way. Like I said, they can be very useful in some contexts. I use Copilot to assist with coding, for example. Don’t want to write a bunch of boilerplate code? Copilot is excellent for speeding that process up.
That’s a problem for future CEO John Q. Moneybags. Present CEO John Q. Moneybags just improved this quarter’s financials, and is already planning his golden-parachute retirement before becoming future Mr. Moneybags.
The way I see it, every little bit helps. If even a little of the waste heat can be recaptured as electricity for operation, it’s a good thing unless the conversion itself has a higher energy cost, and from what I can tell, that’s not the case with this technique.
Any idea if those protests are making any difference? Watching Israel become this has been heartbreaking.
At this point, I’m not sure why anyone would actually buy a Tesla. The alternatives are far less expensive, the “features” of a Tesla are unpolished and dangerous, and the money doesn’t go to a megalomaniac with a god complex.
What the heck is going on in Sweden? For the last few years, most of the news coming out of it seems pretty weird.
