Agreed. I don't know why the other thing is even an argument.

I believe there are heinous crimes that do. Both fitting the crime and as a deterrent.

Tangential: I love it when UIs say "1 object" and "2 objects". Shows attention to detail. As opposed to "1 objects" or "1 object(s)". A UI filled with "(s)", ughh

Agree with you. What happens when translation files get too big and you want to split and send only relevant parts? Like send only auth keys when user is unauthenticated? `return translations[auth][login]` is no longer possible. Or just i

If I may dare - that would be a novelty while this is something many would pay for. If it's just a straightforward conversion, then sure...

Exactly! On skipping mechanism breaking - I mean, anything could break. Boils down to design and testing like all things. One change - this approval and telemetry doesn't happen during the boot loading process. It's just logged an

I know right? Doesn't feel HN worthy. I used to use these apps back when I played Pokémon Go and it would behave differently based on my location.

The application (Crowdstrike) was part of Windows' booting process. Windows cannot simply "skip" failed drivers. Say Crowdstrike driver failed as a one time thing, Windows skipped it instead of retrying which led to the endpo

"If we're going to roll this out let's limit it to reduce the numbers of people affected." Ime this is something senior developers would themselves do - and not only for changes they deem "high risk", but also

It's not "fair" that a product can brick your appliances if they have previously protected against it. In my mind, that is because the protection is what they're paid bags of cash to do. If Crowdstrike was a charity I mi

I now realize how far I am from amateur knowledge, I don't understand any of this. But always interesting to discover an avenue I haven't explored before :)

Could you add a more to that? What other complex parts are built by FF?

Makes sense, thank you! :D

They were early to the scene, made the decisions that made sense at each point in time. Initially I (like many other engineers with no AI exposure) didn't know enough to want to play around with the knobs too much. Now I do. So the pla

What exactly is "safe" in this context, can someone give me an eli5? If it's "taking over the world" safe, does it not mean that this is a part of AGI?

Too snarky...anyway, "crack" means "exceptional" in some contexts. I've seen footballers using it a lot over the years (Neymar, Messi etc) fwiw. Just realized - we even say "it's not all its cracked up t

Google knows too much about us, and now MS is out to understand you better than yourself. I thought it couldn't get scarier with "AI" spearhead initiatives, but I was wrong https://www.windowslatest.com/2024&#

I think the ego and cult-like atmosphere will lead to more growth (maybe not in the "right" direction but in the technical prowess direction) which offsets all criticism. And then the lines will cross over the break even point and

You know what you're doing, so you can ignore those errors. Seems like a much better alternative to endorsement of apk downloads directly from websites for non tech-literate users.

But concepts are easily transferable, so a line or two could help a lot :)

Hi! My work is similar and I'd love to have someone to bounce ideas off of if you don't mind. Your profile doesn't have contact info though. Mine does, please send me a message. :)

They start with "I think..." and it isn't very negative, just an opinion. Why the defensive tone? :)
