Thats kinda is how neural networks actually function. They don’t store massive amounts of data but, similar to us, tweak and adjust complex pathways of neurons that kinda just convert an input into a response.

When you ask an LLM a question you are actually getting a list of words based on probabilities, not anything the LLM had to “think about” before responding. During its training, different patterns fed to the AI tweak and balance how and when specific neurons should fire. One way to think about it is that “memories” or data is stored in how the paths are formed, not actually in the core of the neuron itself.

There are several hundred configurations of artificial neural networks that can mimic different functions of our brains, including memory.

Yay! Marketing!

Different characters pop up for a second or two.

When you powered an old CRT down, the image would collapse to a single horizontal line, and then to a point.

I was thinking you could just cut the power to the deflecting coils.

It would be close to infinite refresh rate as the electron beams wouldn’t need to move. Also, the phosphors in that spot would probably burn away in a few minutes resulting in no refresh rate at all.

I’ll bite. What is the appropriate level of cynicism when it comes to anything related to “corporate culture”?

If you are on Lemmy trying to change the world and tackle human issues, I fear that you have latched on to the wrong conduit for that. That takes action and stuff.

Putting yourself on the high ground and wagging your finger just puts you in troll territory. And no, your posts are far from “quality” or the slightest bit “respectful”.

No, but you can teach a man to throw a fish to defeat a drone…

All of it?

That is SOC2. In this context, it’s Security Operations Center.

It’s one of the better EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) tools on the market. For enterprises, they are able to suck down tons of system activities and provide alerting for security teams.

For detection, when I say “tons of data”, I mean it. Any background logs related to network activity, filesystem activity, command line info, service info, service actions and much more for every endpoint in an organization.

The response component can block execution of apps or completely isolate an endpoint if it is compromised, only allowing access by security staff.

Because Crowdstrike can (kind of) handle that much data and still be able to run rule checks while also providing SOC services makes them a common choice for enterprises.

The problem is that EDR tools need to run at the kernel level (or at a very high permission level) to be able to read that type data and also block it. This increases the risk of catastrophic problems if specific drivers are blocked by another kind of anti-malware service.

When you look at how EDR tools function, there is little difference between them and well written malware.

Crowdstrike became a choice recently for many companies that got fucked over by Broadcom buying VMWare. VMWare owned another tool, Carbon Black, which became subject to the fuckery of Broadcom so more companies scrambled to Crowdstrike recently.

I hope that was enough of a summary.

Same. I support AI completely as a tool to solve specific problems and that is about it. What is really cool is that AI libraries and such got a massive boost of needed development so plebs like me can code simple ANN apps in Python with little skill. Documentation has improved 100x and hardware support is fairly good.

LinkedIn seems to be an interesting indicator of where tech is in its hype cycle. I guess LinkedIn went from 100% AI-awesome-everything about 2 months ago to almost zero posts and ads about it. I suppose most of the vaporware AI products are imploding now…

Of course, algorithmic feeds are a thing, so your experience might be different.

Did the SC1 remaster allow for more than 2 players?

Early access is almost/already over? The full unlock is on the 30th, I assume. I dunno if all the streamers showing it were on pre-early release or not.

Stormgate should be out soon. It made its rounds already with SC2 streamers, so there are a few videos of beta gameplay out there. (It appears to be a modern SC2) From what I can see, it looks good but I honestly have no idea.

July 30 is the release date on Steam.

Just an addendum for clarification. If you don’t want clarification, then yes: A slower connection may cause more battery drain.

A slower connection means you would need to be on your device longer which would result in a larger than normal perceived battery drain with normal use.

An unstable connection with lots of packet losses would cause chaos with the network stack on your phone leading to more memory consumption, unneeded encryption/decryption and possibly hung TCP sessions. That would be a battery suck. In the worst cases on older devices, could even cause your phone to get a little warmer. That gets worse if you VPN client has to constantly reconnect, which is another problem.

Ok, that clears up my misunderstanding then. I was thinking that the cap applied across the board. (That does change things a bit, don’t it?)

TIL. It makes sense that they can be more efficient now that you pointed that out.

I can just pray my bills away? Neat!

More questions here than answers, unfortunately.

It’s my understanding that there is a cap at $5000/MwH ($5/kwH). That is still hella expensive, but would only be for a day or two at maximum?

For the headlines of +$16000 power bills, that is probably a one-off for heavy power consumers, like businesses that have massive freezers and such, correct?
