I spend hours every 6 months or so sharpening knifes on whetstones. I like the excuse to have some me time, listen to an audiobook or just do some thinking. Akin to meditation. I also dont like the blades ruined through automatic sharpeners

I wonder if they can blame this one on AI :-) I can see that they could have identified extortion targets with some "agent" and someone felt very proud of having automated this important, but often neglected part of their business

I am not pointing fingers at low level engineers - I specifically blame their senior tech staff. The lead architect who later became their CTO (and is since retired). Tha guy knew full well. I dont deny the management was criminally complic

Read the book, if you havent already. The senior technical staff was actively obfuscating and lying. Developers knew the system had synchronization issues, operations knew as well, as they were apparently routinely doing manual data fixes i

But we hold engineers to much higher ethical standards than management. One does not expect management to blow the whistle - or even understand whats what when dealing with complex issues in distributed systems. If the engineers start lying

Depends on your 2.4GHz band's saturation. Where I live I have only a few "good" channels. I have about 350 zigbee devices over two separate networks - and thus two channels - and the remaining good 2.4GHz channels are used by

Staffing/HR is considered high-risk under the AI act, which - by current interpretations - means fully automated decision making, e.g., matching, is not permitted. If the study is not flawed, though, its a big deal. There are lots and

Out of curiosity, if you dont mind: what kind of an agent would you run 24/7 locally? I'd assume this thing peaks at 350W (or whatever) but idles at around 40w tops?

Anaerobic - i feel more or less normal while under aerobic load, and i can sustain significantly less anaerobic load - i used to be able to maintain 1600W for about 30 seconds (equivalent to a sprint to a finish line at pro-cyclist level).

No, I eat a lot less in general and a whole lot of veggies. I followed the same routine 4 years ago, then I stopped and when I started eating carbs my vo2max recovered overnight . I think one cant have it all - either you run on stored ene

Awesome stuff. Envious, here (NL) its impossible to get a prescription. For an alternative approach for comparison: My wife and I eat low carb and fast every other day for a year now. Around the 2nd month mark we got the exactly same outcom

The plan is also to force existing customers to re-negotiate their existing long term contracts (many made on favourable terms a few years ago) to include the agentforce and data cloud stuff. The window of opportunity for this is now: peopl

Part of their sales drive. We are absolutely assaulted by their sales reps trying to sell agentforce. They wine and dine non-technical executives and push the "ai agents will do everything" story. He is just reinforcing this narra

Most existing front-end frameworks are already low-code by any standards, I'd say. Most backend, integrations, automations require some degree of business logic, which requires algorithmic thinking, and this in turns requires engineers

You are right on the first point, but I don't think you are right on the syscall part - a kernel level module can just read the PT directly without resorting to a syscall, no? You get access to CR3, and besides kernel-level PTs have a

But why bother with image recognition? And pay a heavy latency penalty which makes it difficult to implement PID-style controls on player's aim? Its a game of milliseconds and opencv is comparably slow, as is the I/O involved. Far

And fundamentally, the anti-cheat software is fighting a loosing game because of some quirks of x86: - hardware breakpoints on memory latch to logical, not physical addresses - one can map the same area of physical memory to different logic

Yup, no respect for the people who published the article. It was one paragraph of content impossibly diluted. TLDR: some idiots allowed USB sicks to be plugged into the supposedly air-gapped system. Hilarity ensued.

Alas, this can be reconfigured without anyone noticing, assuming compromise on both sides. A diode / photosensor can't.

Those things come with a cost. Erode self esteem and reinforce the idea that failure is a very real option, since "its easy to get back on the horse later". My piano teacher tells me that every single mistake takes two successes t

Not sure why the downvotes. Async programming is harder than sync, as one needs not only know one's code, but also all the dependencies. Since the benefits of async are in many scenarios limited[1] I'd expect the simpler abstracti

Same here. Our losses were quite significant - between lost productivity, inability to provide services, inability of our clients to actually use contracted services, and having to fix their mess - its very easily in the millions. And then

I think the only real solution is for MSFT to stop allowing kernel level drivers, as Apple has already (sorf of, but nearly) done. Sure, lots and lots of crap runs on windows in kernelspace, but what happened today cost a sizable fraction o

Nah, nope. 1/ linux is as vulnerable to kernel panics induced by such software. In fact, CS had a similar snafu mid April, affecting linux kernels. Luckily, there are far fewer moronic companies running CS on linux boxes at scale. 2&#x

Apparently, CS and ZScaler can apply updates on their own and thats by design, with 0day patches expected to be deployed the minute they are announced.
