That's true; I suppose it doesn't feel as bad because they're much larger companies and more in the public's eye. It's still scary to think about the amount of power they yield.

What really blew my mind about this story is learning that a single company (CrowdStrike) has the power to push random kernel code to a large part of the world's IT infrastructure, at any time, at their will. Correct me if I'm wro

Who knows for how much longer this CLI escape hatch will exist though. Maybe at some point MS will implement mandatory online checks into their OS, similar to how some games DRM schemes work. Then you'll only be able to use "offli

I mean, both are bad. Just because one exists doesn't make the other better by comparison. However LLMs are just so much worse because 1. they can be asked anything, on any subject, at any time, at the click of a button 2. They have ev

I don't understand it either. Maybe there's more going on behind the scenes that we don't know about, but on the face of it seems like a really poor decision. Large publishers keep reiterating the importance of successful IPs

Also, by the time the iPhone came out, mobile phones had already been ubiquitous for a while. People were already used to carry a slab of electronics in their pocket, so it was easy to rationalize the purchase of an iPhone as a replacement.

It's linear with respect to the number of cases, not the size of inputs. It's still O(1) in the sense of algorithmic complexity.

> Also why not lay a cable. According to the stories the two bridge endpoints were in different buildings a few blocks apart. You can't just lay a cable in the middle of a public street.

Free markets only work up to a point. Once you start having hidden costs that don't enter the equation, like climate change or excessive consumer prices due to supply not catching up with demand, is when other control mechanisms are ne

Yep. The number of crypto hacks reported by https://www.web3isgoinggreat.com is just mental. Over 100m$ stolen in multiple hacks just this week, and it's not even a particularly busy one.

That's good news, as long as disabling Secure Boot doesn't put your device in a "no fun allowed" zone where it's cut off from banking, Netflix, etc. Like SafetyNet on Android.

I just hope this won't eventually be the death of true device ownership. For all its cruft and flaws, x86 has served well as a standard platform for hackability and for alternative OSes like Linux to flourish on. Switching to ARM would

In French too. "Solde" means "pay", but only specifically the pay given to a soldier. For other professions you'd say "salaire".

That's an interesting idea, I wonder how it compares to WASM in concrete benchmark numbers.

That plane design looks pretty awesome to me. Remove the propeller and it wouldn't look out of place zipping through space, shooting down TIE fighters.

This is really cool but I think the documentation could use a simple quickstart example, that takes actual Python code and shows how to turn it into an executable. Right now it feels a bit like reading a manpage, with tons of features and o

I tend to forget absolutely everything, so I wrote a self hosted Telegram bot for setting up quick reminders. You just describe them in natural language (e.g "Every month on the 1st pay bill") and it reminds you at the given time.
