The actual paper makes more sense: "the number of galaxies in that field that rotate in the opposite direction relative to the Milky Way galaxy is ∼50 per cent higher than the number of galaxies that rotate in the same direction relative to the Milky Way."

I think a lot of the hostility about over achieving kids is that parents and their fellow students instinctively recognize that a lot of the success that comes from education is "zero sum".
There are only so many places and scholarships available at the elite universities, employers only pick the academic "winners" for their graduate programs etc.
When a child spends all their spare time studying and does better in life as a result, a component of this success is actually at the expense of the kids who may have been as bright, but did not spend as much of their spare time on it.
So now should all the other kids spend all their time studying so that they can keep up and not lose out? Maybe...
I'm not saying that any of this is wrong or even unfair - just pointing it out.
It's not always that simple, sure the more time you spend researching and reading books, the more certain types of knowledge accumulates but we all know someone that is book smart and life stupid. And so much about being truly intelligent and successful is having a framework in which you are able and motivated to apply what you've learned as well as the motivation to keep learning and doing more. Many kids will burn out(or worse, always shuffled into one matrix or another) if they don't have internal reasons for doing what they doing, not just parents or schools encouraging them but actual drive within themselves that goes beyond social validation, and part of that comes from exploring and learning about life and yourself through first hand experiences.
I read an article that stated that Microsoft lost an anti-trust court case against the EU in which the EU mandated that they allow third party competitors to provide this service. Microsoft has its own solution called Windows Defender.
It's more nuanced than that. They have to provide the same APIs to third party security vendors that they use themselves.
They can come up with something more shielded as Apple has done, they just have to eat their own dog food and can't make an exception for defender. That's all.
yes (it's a spin) also e.g. on Linux Falcon could have conceptual created the same kind of driver as for windows but opted to use eBPF
for a lot of things on Windows there isn't anything like eBPF (yet, it's wip, but likely will still take quite a while until it's usable)
the EU spin would only work if CrowdStrict is fully incompetent like a lot of people want you to believe. I.e. they don't do any testing, don't do any config validation and doesn't know what they are doing at all
but that simply isn't true at all
This doesn't mean that they didn't act negligent, as far as we can tell they relied on some data format validation instead by their server + signing (or something similar) instead of _also_ having robust parsing and that is enough against best practices to be called negligent. And there were other points which bubbled up in the last week which point to other negligent behavior unrelated to the bug. But company ending up with some negligent behavior and them being fully incompetent are very far away, let's be honest most IT companies today have ended up with some negligent behavior they have lite direct/short term/fast feedback motivation to fix (hence it doesn't happen)
And Microsoft doesn't even offer the option of userspace anti-malware hooks, which they could easily do in conjunction with the kernel stuff. I think all they have is AMSI, which is only for scanning PowerShell scripts and such.
If you want to hook process execution or file access, you're writing a kernel driver.
Yes indeed. But the point they keep making is that the agreement with the EU somehow stopped them from doing this. Which is BS.
They could easily have added a userspace API if they wanted to. It could have existed side by side with the kernel option, as long as they keep using that for Defender too. Only once they stop using kernel access in their own security products can they force the other vendors to use a new API, which makes sense. Otherwise they'd use it as a sales bullet point ("Our product has full system access, others don't"). Which would destroy the antimalware market. The US benefits from this too.
Not to be that guy but this is the sort of thing I could imagine might benefit from an AI also. Train an AI to recognize drowning, and sound an alarm just in case the lifeguard misses it...
"Students tend to understand objects better" -> I actually a disagree.
A problem is mutability. Consider: "Is-a list of triangles a list of shapes?".
Most inexperienced people, using their intuition, would answer "Yes!", and try to design a "ShapeList" base class of "TriangleList", "CircleList", "SquareList"... and then puzzle over where to put the method "void add(Shape s)".
So you end up picking a subset of OO in which you take away inheritance, or mutability ("state"). But take those away and you don't really have OO any more (IMO)...

I feel like the whole article is an allegory of LLM development (as a critic would write it: devoting a stupendous amount of resources and 'training data' to 'memorize' the solution). I wonder if this was the author's intent?
right so! Like the 40b LLM model doing for loops. It very much seems this allegory is the actual motivation behind the article… is not about engineering but the absurdity that awaits us around the corner.
