The success in Go was very much not dumb search. Where dumb search had failed to achieve the level of even a very weak player, the neural net's "intuition" about good moves without any search was already very strong. Only the

Is this an LLM account? Every comment starts with "It's fascinating"/intruinging/mind-blowing. Then some confused nonsense, and it always ends with a "Does anyone else?". This seems like a template where a

Remains to be seen how the microcode patch affects performance, and how these CPUs that have been affected by over-voltage to the point of instability will have aged in 6 months, or a few years from now. More voltage generally improves stab

Well, that says nothing about ads and tracking, right? The value of a no-nonsense free app is that it isn't trying to exploit something off of you. I'm not really enthusiastic about subscribing to a company's newsletter or be

Oh, my comment must have been too critical of a16z as well. I see it has been moved from top to way bottom without a score change. That's certainly one way to offer a response!

It's a binary format specific to Crowdstrike for delivering updates. It's not a DLL or a plain patch, it's their own file format. And they have a lot of different things in there (config, regularly updated data, instructions

I woke up after they'd already pulled the bad update, and I don't have an affected system. If I look at the C-00000291-00000000-00000032.sys version that Crowdstrike LFO serves me, I get something that looks superficially reasonab

One of the first things the falcon driver does on boot is connect to the server, report some basic info, and start loading these data files, the "channel" files that Crowdstrike frequently updates. The BSOD is because one of the d

They weren't last time I looked. They seem to contain a bunch of different things, but you can absolutely download and parse them without needing to decrypt anything. If you have a Crowdstrike customer ID (CID) — which you can pull fro

Falcon has a feature called "Real Time Response". The sensor is in contact with a server with which it exchanges events serialized in protobuf. One of the event you can get from the Crowdstrike server runs an arbitrary shell comma

Well, if the vault says you have COPD, and the devious bank robber is interested in your continued breathing, perhaps we can just review the footage after the fact. This is one of those cases where you don't disable emergency systems

Having spent time reverse-engineering Crowdstrike Falcon, a lot of funny things can happen if you feed it bad input. But I suspect they don't have much motivation to make the sensor resilient to fuzzing, since the thing's a remote

So many 2-5 year old issues. The technical debt for Gitlab CI is not being addressed, it keeps piling up. It seems the backlog of bugs grows every year.

As someome who hoped that OpenAI would be consistently candid, this certainly comes as a disappointment. If the internal culture is to keep problems under wraps to maintain appearances, this seems like it might backfire at some point.

The video on half-derivatives (fractional calculus) was captivating, fun to see it all come together so simply, when it looked like a very obscure concept at the start!

The feasability is the same whether you crush a drive or erase it normally. A serious company would worry about the people who are inside your network reading the live drives, not campfire scare stories about drives magically remembering pr

It does seem to be written by someone who's very far above the ground — even managing to throw the blockchain in there at the end. But the point they're making is reasonable. Just because the author isn't deeply technical doe

If you couldn't find any good video, you may want to try books. There's more than enough texts on Linear Algebra that you should be able to find one that works for you, it is a very popular and widely taught topic.

Claims about populations in medicine are not very much like math theorems. There are too many exceptions for a single case study to settle the question.

Nexus - another very large archive - is using IPFS. But in my experience Bittorrent works a lot better at this scale. The IPFS UX is full of papercuts, when it isn't outright bugging out or crumbling under the size of the dataset.
