Unless Alaska Airlines with very high effort delays Crowdstrike updates by about a year, there is no way for these to be related. They are for sure related on the other aspect of the Crowdstrike disaster though, namely that Windows was crap, is crap and will remain crap and so is anything else by Microsoft.

Or do the "AI Failure" stories get more frequent? Well, that is how it goes until a critical mass is reached. And then the house of cards collapses and we get to see how little LLMs can actually do when they need to compete on merit instead on hype.

Kind of boring when you see this happening for the 3rd time or so.

Wireless is NOT the answer
We need fiber

Available is
Our local ISP tried for years to install fiber in our area and was blocked by the telcos
They didn't serve out area, but used every dirty trick in the book to make sure that nobody else could serve us
We don't need any government rules except one. The rule that telcos can't block private efforts to install fiber

You are so utterly without insight here, it is embarrassing. If it is a benchmark for difficult reasoning questions, it must measure reasoning or it is a failure. Take chess: It is not a reasoning problem to a computer. It is, in part, to a human. But because it is not to a computer, it is not suitable as a benchmark for reasoning capabilities.

Not interested. You are deep in delusion and cannot be reached.

That nicely sums it up. Most of these people (like the one you responded to) have zero clue how LLMs actually work and what limits that imposes. They just want to believe like fucking morons in a cult.

And that is what I will try next. I do need full screen, application sharing and good audio though.

Why would I waste time in what is clearly a failed technology? The stupid always need years and years to find out a hype is just a hype and never has any of the substance claimed. I can do it directly.

Since LLMs have zero reasoning capability (the math does not allow it), it is obviously a failure at this.

Always late, never secure. And this is in a phase where they still have IT security as their "highest priority". They simply cannot do it. They are still stuck in the era of single-user computers and no Internet. And they will never be able to catch up.

Although he is right on this one thing.

But what about putting them into a Computer Algebra system? We have had these for decades now. In fact, I used one when I started my CS studies 35 years ago.

The very point of such a competition is to have a human do it, not a machine.

I have no doubt that Maple or any other decent Computer Algebra system could have done the same ... 30 years ago. Or Wolfram Alpha.

This is a completely meaningless stunt. The only purpose is to deceive the stupid about what these systems can do, or rather cannot do.

"Password controls" are one of these stupid IT security myths pushed by the incompetent. All passwords of regular users need to be regarded as weak. If you need more, you _must_ add 2FA. There is no major security control catalog left that does not ask for 2FA for good authentication.
