I mean, the Linux lmza exploit was found by a Microsoft engineer. Just because dollars exchange hands doesn’t mean the data provided is invalid.
Companies hire Jepsen to validate their code for example, and you’d be a damn fool not to accept their analysis.
Rossman has a vendetta against Apple ever since he got caught importing counterfeit batteries (You can’t slap the Apple logo on batteries that Apple did not make, even if you call them “refurbished”)
I mean, does writing in Python rather than C free up your mind? It’s just another abstraction tradeoff.
So, not the mRNA vaccines, like the J&J vaccine.
Dynamically sized but stored contiguously makes the systems performance engineer in me weep. If the lists get big, the kernel is going to do so much churn.
He’s talking about Andres Freund, who uncovered the OpenSSL backdoor that was slipped into liblzma from the xz malicious maintainer. Dude saw a valgrind error and a function with a fixed runtime was taking too long and using too much CPU and reversed out and saved a major ssh backdoor from going upstream as Fedora was going to release it just days later.
Tossing stuff on the same server is not great as I don’t want to pay for fast storage for my image store, but I want fast for my DB. My web server should have extra CPU and network but is otherwise ephemeral. This is the same stuff people have been running for years and is microservices 101.
The correct thing to do here is build in tracing and profiling hooks, as an example OpenTracing so something like Jaeger can consume and show problems and would have lit this up like a Christmas tree, Pyroscope can show changes over time in where CPU goes, and logs get shuffled off into graylog or some other centralized service for correlation.
The progenitor of the American biscuit, the British Hardtack biscuit from the Navy, was cooked 4 times, so let’s not get too high on our own farts that “we have the right way because we cook it twice just like the French intended!”
It is literally not the tip of the iceberg. I work in the industry, so lecturing me about data management platforms is asinine. Microsoft and Apple’s collection practices are minuscule compared to Google’s and DMPs are terrible at their jobs.
Feel free to go request the same fucking data from
Apple: https://support.apple.com/en-us/102208
And Microsoft: https://www.cnbc.com/2018/04/18/how-to-download-a-copy-of-everything-microsoft-knows-about-me.html
Then go ahead and tell me they’re in the same ballpark as what Google’s collected on you.
I actually disagree from a systems engineer perspective: The program doesn’t actually know shit if those bits hit any permanent medium, just that the OS told them “I’ll take care of it” it could be sitting in a write back cache when you save, see the “write complete” and rip the power and that’s all gone now. Basically, I don’t like promising durability when it’s not really there.
Avian influenza hooks up to a different receptor to transfer compared to human influenza. Humans have the receptor but it’s super deep in our lungs, thus leading to the “hard to catch, hard to spread, very deadly” aspects of the disease.
It would be hard for it to retain its deadly nature and still become easy to spread for humans.
Ah, the nightmares of writing F5 iRules.
The Nedelin catastrophe should be a warning at least?
They’re using the stuff the Soviets called Devil’s Venom and just letting it slam back into the earth with unburned chemicals?
Beer’s similar: Give beer sugars, the yeast generates poison to try and prevent other microorganisms from surviving and eventually the yeast poisons its own environment enough that it can no longer continue living.
Hash the image, then assign hash ranges to servers that are part of the ring. You’d use RAFT to get consensus about who is responsible for which ranges. I’m largely just envisioning the Scylla gossip replacement as the underlying communications protocol.
Why? Use something like RAFT, elect the leader, have the leader run the AI tool, then exchange results, with each node running it’s own subset of image hashes.
That does mean you need a trust system, though.
Eh… As long as it’s an indoor cat, it’s likely fine. University of Minnesota did a study on this early on in the pandemic.

You’re liable to give your pets COVID, but they don’t seem super troubled by it at this moment, and optimizations that arrived with Omicron to increase spread in humans actually dropped spread in companion animals.

I expect as what should now be considered HCoV-SARS-2 optimizes more and more for the human tissue, cross over will get increasingly uncommon.
They literally will do that. GDPR shows that they will go after big American companies (That’s the point, a huge chunk of this is protectionism to build a tech industry in the EU that they control)
