The article specifically mentions US banks and as I personally didn't see any disruption over here - is there (anec)data on how popular CrowdStrike is in the US vs the EU?
Might be question what type of disruption it is. Transfers and web bank is likely to work. Branches offices and ATMs might have issues. So if you try to do anything in person or negotiate anything with workers in bank there could be issues.
Out of curiosity after finishing my solution, I tried it with chatgpt 4.0
Part1 worked after me explaining a tiny bug.
Part2 however never worked. Even after explaining exactly where the bug was in the python solution got came up with, it couldn’t fix it.
It was quite fascinating watching it try over and over with different approaches, but it couldn’t even get the example working.
This just goes to show how good of a puzzle maker Eric is if it stumped gpt4 on day1 when last year gpt3.5 did the first 5 days.
Last year, I used ChatGPT on one of the first puzzles, and ended up writing a blog post about it, where I sort of do commentary on the conversation.
It's funny to read this a year later, and filter it through my experiences with ChatGPT over the last year. Some of it still rings true, some of it would probably be much improved with GPT-4. But the places where the LLM fell down in my examples are still the same kinds of issues you get using GPT as an assistant today.
Part two of today's problem makes me wonder if they're trying to come up with puzzles that aren't easy for LLMs to complete but might end up making things that also discourage humans from playing.
Yes in the research computing world (HPC and similar systems, and some other sorts of shared resource) at least. On Linux-based machines you can limit resources otherwise, via PAM, or startup of interactive sessions in a distributed resource manager ("batch system").
I've been using UNIX-like machines (mostly Linux) since the mid-2000s and single-user machines have always been the exception rather than the norm everywhere I've been.
Even at home, I've set up multiple accounts for myself (main one, one for closed-source programs, one for gaming I can share with other people…) and for my family (to each their preferences, wallpaper and so on). Having two or three user sessions running at the same time is not uncommon. I'm probably the exception here, but I don't think Podman targets the regular home user anyway.
It's not obvious to me how Podmansh would revolutionize that, but I guess it's nice, I'll try it for sure.
when I moved from Python to NodeJS years ago the way that `require( './path/to/file.js' );` works was a total revelation. There are still arguments being mafe about NodeJS's `require` rules being too complicated (e.g. using optionally implicit extensions) but even with that, NodeJS's `require()` method is hands down superior to Python's `import` statement.
