Does it work on Linux

> Decades of building world-class security systems now give us trillions of daily signals across identity, endpoint, cloud, and network

Let's say i use a linux endpoint and some hardware vendor starting with Cisc on the network. Can your product help me or not? I'm pretty sure none of these have been meant by Microsoft..but they fall into this category

tesdinger··on I used AI to help market my bagel shop. Then the one-star reviews came in
There's really no way to tell if an ad is accurate or not just from the ad. AI or not. Not a new thing. Bagels might have been 10% smaller on one day. Who knows. Why even bother reading ads.
tesdinger··on Kioxia and Dell cram 10 PB into slim 2RU server
For the sake of the generations that come after us, we really should not dump valuable material into space. I somehow doubt the electronics in space would be recovered and recycled properly.
tesdinger··on Kioxia and Dell cram 10 PB into slim 2RU server
All the increases in density are impressive, but they come with the downside of repairability and recycling difficulties. I hope we can still repair this when parts of it break or at least recycle it properly. No matter how high tech it is, eventually this will break.
tesdinger··on Why is everything so scalable?
> you usually only have one database

What if I use the cloud? I don't even know how many servers my database runs on. Nor do I care. It's liberating not having to think about it at all.

tesdinger··on Germany outfitted half a million balconies with solar panels
Your total energy needs figure today is completely irrelevant. Half of the so called needs are just for entertainment. Now excuse me I have to step in my SUV and drive to lake Garda Italy for the weekend at 200 km/h.
tesdinger··on AMD signs AI chip-supply deal with OpenAI, gives it option to take a 10% stake
No it is not printing money. Shares are not money.
tesdinger··on AMD signs AI chip-supply deal with OpenAI, gives it option to take a 10% stake
It is dilution. 160 million shares of AMD for 1 cent will be added. The idea is that the value increase of the remaining shares enabled by the OpenAI cooperation will be stronger than the decrease caused by dilution.
tesdinger··on AMD signs AI chip-supply deal with OpenAI, gives it option to take a 10% stake
It's not money printing because shares are not classified as money in economics. Money is used for transactions while shares primary purpose is not transactions.

Der Angriff des Slop ist nicht erfolgt.
tesdinger··on The (economic) AI apocalypse is nigh
3% of the world GDP is more than the 2 trillion needed to fund AI
tesdinger··on The Doomslayer (1997)
Macro-economists can not even predict a recession happening next year.
tesdinger··on The Doomslayer (1997)
Why listen to a professor for business admin instead of climate scientists? Are you an idiot?
tesdinger··on Brains are not required to think or solve problems – simple cells can do it
Of course consciousness is required for intelligence - you need to model yourself as part of the world to have a complete model.
tesdinger··on Ubisoft Says Out Loud: We Want People to Get Used to Not Owning What They Bought
The theater is absolutely passing on movie licensing costs onto its customers
tesdinger··on On Leibniz Notation
Never heard of this distinction between parameter and argument, to me they are homonymes. To me, argument or parameter refers to a term in the function definition as well as a term in the function call.
tesdinger··on On Leibniz Notation
> Functions don't have variables, named variables, that's Python, not math[0].

No, Python named arguments are a good analogy for Leibnitz notation.

tesdinger··on On Leibniz Notation
What if your physics problem involves the same physical quantity twice, like speeds and masses of two bodies? Then single letter variable names are no longer unique nor meaningful.

f(v_1, m_1, v_2, m_2)

For the derivatives I would prefer writing

d_v_2 f

instead of

d_3 f

when counting arguments from 1

Your focusing on the unimportant aspect though, the discussion is about the licensing for watching the movie.
tesdinger··on Htmx and Web Components: A Perfect Match
You can change the class to be white and then say it's for historical reasons later.
tesdinger··on Why new hires often get paid more than existing employees
I get 30 days of private time off on my first job out of university. I live in Germany, here at least 20 days off are required by law for a five day work week.

tesdinger··on Would Luddites find the gig economy familiar?
There is no money to be made supplying a subsistence farmer with goods and services? Are you aware of the donations business?
tesdinger··on How to Be More Agentic
> a massive edge was available in the form of physical reads, but almost entirely ignored

No. The word poker face exists for a reason. Everyone knew about the importance of physical reads.

tesdinger··on Ask HN: Who else is working on nothing?
I would think it is impressive, but I wouldn't find it impressive enough if it doesn't beat the established methods of forecasting. I don't start anything because I doubt it would meet my standards of being not pointless and superfluous.
tesdinger··on Ask HN: Who else is working on nothing?
I just want to spend time on my hobbies. I'm in IT because it is the closest a job can be to my hobbies.

tesdinger··on Spot Bitcoin ETF receives official approval from the SEC
> If they can't deliver, they're in trouble

How are you protected against losing your investment if they can not deliver?

> Price tracking

Does Bitcoin support a high enough frequency of transactions for long enough to make this possible for years into the future? Does it not become too hard to mine at some point?

tesdinger··on Spot Bitcoin ETF receives official approval from the SEC
Congrats you just made another currency that is explicitly not Bitcoin. And it's better at being a currency than Bitcoin. Which isn't very difficult because Bitcoin absolutely sucks as a currency.
