I use Bing at work for no other reason than sheer laziness, really. You've inspired me to return to DDG.

Keep on keepin on, yegg.

>In a normal WinRE session, you have a X:\Windows\System32 directory that has a winpeshl.ini file in it

>However, with the YellowKey exploit, it looks like Transactional NTFS bits on a USB Drive are able to delete the winpeshl.ini file on ANOTHER DRIVE

Interesting. I dont know about this environment - some kind of naive file handle contructing/passing? But then, why require a key press during winre reboot?

I wonder how patachable this is. The thousands of winre thumb drives are certainly out of reach; maybe the bitlocker side update the access permissions? Would it require unenc/reenc?

Seems like lots more to follow

Paying a ransom signals 3 things: 1) you are vulnerable to attack 2) you cannot recover from an attack 3) you've got cash

The result is that you get attacked much, much more. You could ask me how I know, but I wouldn't tell you :)

Google is not a software, hardware, or SaaS company. They are an ad-funded moonshot R&D incubator, searching only for billion dollar lightning strikes.

Every part of their business exists only to broker and sell ads or capture more market share to show ads to or to collect and trade data/Metadata for better ad targeting.

What does that mean for llms? Their nondeterminism does seem to incline them toward a legal safety requirement. Can you buy a fire extinguisher that 1/1000 times burns your house down? Or can your car brakes instead increase acceleration in rare cases?

Im using llms much more than i used to, but i still cant shake the fundamental stochastic nature of the technology.

Im an outsider and a layman, so this might be totally off base, but...

The way I hear people talking about github reliability doesnt sound like scaling problems to me. If you drive 20 miles every day but then decide to drive 2000 miles and run out of gas, thats a problem of scale. If you drive 2000 miles and your engine explodes, thats a problem of design.

Maybe their design problems are being made evident because of sudden scale, but they're still design problems.

>aircraft carrier

Having served on both, this is actually a pretty interesting comparison (at least to me).

Carriers are simply larger, so they likely win by scale, but im not sure on a more per-(sub)system basis.

Carriers have a lot of aircraft handling systems that subs dont, elevators and hangers. Also the carrier has group c&c stuff.

Subs have a lot of stealth systems carriers don't, being that they're visible from space. Lots of dive related stuff, o2/co2 handlers.

They both have weapons systems, hvac, propulsion, distillation, steam generators, reactors, air compressor, many others.

Not obvious to me which one is more complex!

The hunter Biden laptop story was censored - including in private messages - and Charlie Kirk was shown being shot in the neck to death to children.

There's nothing else to say.

Hard agree, same with fevers. Heat helps kill many diseases, dont blunt your body's defenses.

There are exceptions to both rules, but many people forget which part is the exception and which part is the rule.

This company now has strong a strong negative reputation in my mind that I will gladly share with others.

Cancer is a great metaphor because its a perversion of natural, healthy processes. So called social media is nearly that, but actually grotesquely unhealthy.

People are dramatically unwell when they are not social, but that unregulated process is also negative up to and including being lethal.

Wait what? Your thesis is the GFC was caused by a liquidity crunch/bank run? Isn't that... not true?

Isn't the proximal to distal chain of events government encouraged subprime loans -> inaacurately valued MBS -> exponential, unregulated derivative instruments -> leveraged contagion. What does market confidence have to do with any of that?

I sort of detest people who always ask if things are ai slop, but... is this real? This guy has been working with a clearance for years - i think decades - and taken multiple polygraph, including failures, and is gonna pass out on his way to an interview regarding somewhere he no longer works?

Maybe hes just on the spectrum, but this article is weird.

Shouldn't have been using a free product anyway. Committed the crime of convenience and paid with my telemetry. At least I stopped.

HN, you my only fren.

Put another way, who here wants a car that costs more than their house? Or shoes that cost 2000$?
