Crowdstrike has several competitors, CarbonBlack, McAfee, Sophos, PaloAlto, etc. Sure, they're all equal shades of shitty, but that's a different issue.

Absolutely. We want FTL in stories because it allows us to tell a sequential narrative across vast galactic distances. We want FTL in science and mathematics because humans as a species don't like hard limits to what is allowed. We wan

You don't need anything near light speed for single human lifetimes to navigate beyond the solar system but it will be a one way trip mostly devoid of communication. We can seed the galaxy but can't watch it bloom.

I think the habit arises from people assuming ham was also short for something like AM and FM is, or in computers, since PC was an initialism, Mac should get the same treatment too.

I think they were referring to the form factor not the price. But even then the price of four laptops is not out of line for enthusiast hobby spending. Ever priced out a four wheeler, a jet-ski, a filled gun safe, what a "car guy&quot

If you are a GS-5 (typical entry level government roles, 5 rungs up from the actual bottom of the pay scale, since it's literally impossible to get applicants for a GS-1 role if you tried) and support a family of four you are currently

Code can be deterministic if you're only doing trivial things or have very simple systems. Beyond that it only has sufficient determinism to cross a threshold into being considered useful. Dead letter queues, uncaught errors, kernel pa

Manual laborers (distinct from skilled labor like plumbers or electricians) will never have high status because the job is, relatively speaking, easy to attain. The pay will certainly fix the staffing problem but it will never be a high sta

If the utility of all computers is based on the right sequence of magic words why do we call them software engineers instead of something better like "code wizards" that encapsulates the nature of it?

Doing something out of a sense of duty should not require a vow of poverty along with it unless we plan on committing to lifetime benefits and support for the people who take that path (like providing food and housing, because the low end o

Apple Arcade, a modest subscription in itself, is filled with mostly kid friendly games and none of them are allowed to have iAPs (or the iAPs are made free and then bundled in order to be featured in the Arcade catalog).

To be fully fair, that's the status quo for Linux on hardware that didn't ship with Linux support as a selling point. I had issues with Intel Wifi 6 hardware compatibility on a Lenovo laptop within the last year or so. On 3 differ

If salaries were transparent and queryable this could even be a Slack or Teams plugin. But most org cultures would never dare expose salary imbalances like that.

Nah, if they need to believe in homeopathic cure-alls it most definitely needs to cost $400. Compared to a Medbed, I'm offering a total bargain.

Why not just prescribe a crystal and some essential oils instead? Maybe have them sacrifice a chicken tomorrow evening at dusk? Actually, if they send me $400 in Bitcoin I will simply cure them with the power of prayer. Nobody is making met

If you're going to sandbag you should aim for slightly below average. Minimum leaves you no room for error.

Microsoft, Mozilla and Apple all have the resources to provide competitive small LLMs in their own browsers’ implementation of window.ai if this catches on. A 3B sized model isn’t a moat for Chrome.

There’s literally no means of paying Ollama for anything and their project is also MIT licensed like llama.cpp is. And they have docs explaining exactly how to use arbitrary GGUF files to make your own model files. https://github
