In law we generally prosecute those who are responsible according to the law. Not those who happen to be available so that we have someone to make pay. Not saying that there are undoubtedly more “bad people” than just him. But that’s not ho

True. But they did not optimize for a specific case. They detected the test and then enabled a special regime, that was not used normally. It’s as if OpenAI detects the IP address from a benchmark organization, and then used a completely di

In a lot of big coporat-ey places, there is a very restrictive retention policy due to legal reasons. If your stated IT policy is that "all mail is automatically deleted after 3 months" then that reduces your risk to discovery pro

Also, the US is the biggest defense exporter, by a large margin: 14B$, with 3B$ for France in second place. So many of those dollars spent by NATO (by the US and it's partners) come back to the US economy.

Actually, banks can "create" money from nowhere. It's called fractional-reserve banking. When you deposit money into a bank, the bank is required to keep only a fraction of that deposit as reserves. The rest can be used for

Cities have vast water and trash treatment facilities, at least in developed countries. Those facilities are at most decades old. Even if the sewer system itself may be centuries old, it is maintained as failing sewers are health risks. Als

I think the parent is talking about Alzheimers, which is the accumulation of brain gunk. Alzheimer's is the fifth-leading cause of death among Americans age 65 and older.

I used their docker based installation. Upgraded it a couple of times, takes me 1h each time (mostly because I am more of a PHB and not a devops) Never had a single issue with indexes, though we only ingest 500k+ events per day for ~endpoin

There is a hosted offering https://wazuh.com/cloud I run an in-house deployment using the Docker conf they supply. It requires a couple of hours per month and mainly a lot of disparate skills. The real thing that takes time

There is an agentless option that just requires ssh access. Not something I’d prefer from a security point of view, but it’s possible.

After two comments saying I was wrong, I decided to google “does Europe import LNG from Russia” First result is a detailed page from the European Union, showing amongst others a diagram that EU imports from Russia were divided by three. ht

Am I wrong to say that north stream 1 & 2 were put out of commission and Europe procures it’s gaz now via LNG that flows via the huge terminals that were built after 2022? The Russians are managing to bypass restrictions to some degree

As Obama famously quipped during his last Whitehouse Correspondent dinner: Even reporters have left me. Savannah Guthrie, she has left the White House press corps to host the Today show. Norah O’Donnell left the briefing room to host

I thought the same but then I remembered that the noise will make it pretty hard to compress (no?) Would be interested to have a more quantified idea of the sizes involved.

I believe it’s a reference to a Discworld personage The Librarian is known for his violent reaction whenever he hears anyone refer to him as a "monkey" (orang-utans are apes). He speaks an elaborate language whose vocabulary consi

That is what explosives look like. You're thinking 80's movies explosions, made with barrels of gas. Tom Scott explains it better than I do https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OOWcTV2nEkU

That's one way of looking at it. Another way of looking at it, is that your vision is not constructive, because you wave away the real solution as "not actionable". Parent does not propose concrete action, but neither do yo

Speaking from experience: hang in there. It may seem irrecuperable. It may take a long time, but you will recover. Best of luck to you.

You are again talking about mobilisation. Yes. They can enlist millions of untrained men. But in terms of total assets deployed, they are currently all-in. Attrition being what it is, they are reducing their Soviet stockpiles at a prodigiou

I don't think that "number of deaths" is a proxy for "infrastructure stops working". One of the worlds (what we thought) super powers has been trying for the last two years to destroy the infrastructure of a country

Generally recruitment tools have 3-4 options to pick, all of them carefully worded so that the reply to the candidate cannot be used against the company. In your case it looks to me you were over-qualified. That's a real thing, since g

I’m just comparing with Facebook, Instagram and the likes. Admittedly that is a low bar, but compared to them you’ll pick up more on HN. Because we were talking about the linguistic level, not just the informative level. Not much text on FB

That is a well known lesson. In any goldrush it is always profitable to sell pickaxes and spades to the miners. The miners themselves generally do less well (except the happy few that strike gold)

You’re not wrong. But have you considered the difference between mainstream social media (video postings of 15-30 seconds) with HN (share a complex or long article, then have a text debate about it, using sophisticated English)
