My read is that Crowdstrike's update agent downloaded new security threat definitions and those definitions exposed a bug in the existing Crowdstrike drivers, causing the disaster.

If that is the original article, you can send an email to hn using the contact link and they can update it.

Same with police and citizen videographers. Being a citizen reporter is once again an option.

Really, do you have sources on the spend per eyeball being less? I always understood it to be the opposite.

I don't understand this, advertisers used to spend billions on tv, radios, and billboards. Historically those mediums have almost no real analytics.

Hmmm, that's interesting. How much of a person's personal life (both good and bad) is the responsibility of the employer? And why.

Right, I'm saying the premise can be applied so widely it falls flat, for me at least.

AI is a tool, like all tools it multiplies force, the question is, what's on the other side of the multiplier? It's not even a net destructive tool like a gun.

> I mean, the same goes for all crime being a people problem. Yes, and technical solutions are usually a bad sign. How nice is the neighborhood that locks pharmacy razors vs the one that doesn't?

I see your parallel with laws. My point is that laws force behavior in a society that we are obligated to share, whereas online games are a choice to share with certain people. The level of intrusion applied to protect a game seems over the

No, I'm saying that the level of enforcement applied to a game is not proportional with the triviality of it being, a game.

That's a good point. Though I feel there's a significant difference between defenfing comms from external and intermediary parties as opposed to forcing the behavior of the parties one chooses to interact with.

Anti cheat software because one needs to play with people one does not trust and so attempts to get good behavior from strangers by force. Should Magnus Carlsen have required Niemman to get a cavity search? When tons of kids have neuralink

They don't need to investigate the test quality, only to run whatever tests they trust based on the indications provided.

Anecdotes are mixed. Here's one from me: See multiple PA's at E endocrinology office, test results indicate hyperthyroidism, they all say no that's just barely above normal (it was actually significantly higher), wait months

Wow,this was one of the most accessible online scientific articles I've ever seen. Not just an abstract, no run around to download, pictures and maps on the web page. It's incredible.

The big issue with these stories is getting huge chunks of you personal life ripped out from under you, bank accounts (in this case -> job offers) without explanation.

Hn is an interesting one because there's not even an email associated. Though I imagine they have logs of IPs and such. Still, an equivalent feels like ad networks that are everywhere though don't seem to have a way to delete data

Doesn't seem too much, some people write hundreds of comments/tweets per day with no expectation of pay.

Comments like these are doubly great, useful tech perspectives, and a reminder that the comments often do not reflect understanding of the original submissions.

I've seen a non programmer navigate bad llm advice on writing code by double checking the info, both with the same llm and with google searches. It isn't their area of expertise, but their light familiarity is enough to build som
