Ditto. I use Codex and Claude Code on a daily basis. Copilot feel like it’s from the 80s, a few generations behind

Gadd ‌is ⁠serving a 16-year prison sentence imposed in 2015 after he was convicted of sexually abusing three schoolgirls between 1975 and 1980. He was released on licence in 2023 but ​recalled to prison ​weeks later ⁠for breaching licence conditions. He was first jailed in 1999 for possession of child pornography ​and later moved to Cambodia, but was deported ​in ⁠2002 due to suspected sex offences. In 2006, a Vietnamese court convicted him of committing obscene acts with two girls aged ⁠10 ​and 11 and sentenced him to ​four years in jail.

I’m not seeing the image of a man whose deep contrition has changed him here

Rather a lot has been learned on these topics though

If only these right wing assholes would consult with us, we could offer them good advice

TBH that channel has a good video for everything STEM. Anything they missed, Brady Haran or Kurzgezaagt covered.

One mark of a truly visionary designer is their ability to see in Nature what others did not, and turn it to human advantage

the 2nd would be confusing if not for the 3rd

For the record, at least one Nobel Prize winner disagrees about LLM sentience

ZKP solves the math problem.

It does not solve the trust problem.

Hegseth’s boozy greasy hands are all over this.

• In the weeks leading up to the launch of Fable, Anthropic worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours in total.
• These tests showed that Fable’s safeguards are substantially more effective than those of any previously deployed model.
• No testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak—a jailbreak method that can very broadly bypass the model’s safeguards, unblocking a wide range of cyber capabilities.
• We suspect that perfect jailbreak resistance is not currently possible for any model provider. Every safeguard used in the industry is vulnerable to non-universal jailbreaks (which can elicit some cyber information in specific circumstances), and it is likely that universal jailbreaks will eventually be found in the future. We stated this clearly when we released Fable 5.
• Given that perfect jailbreak resistance does not appear to be possible today, Anthropic adopted a defense in depth strategy with Fable 5 […]

Please get him so angry his fatty-food hardened heart finally quits

… and the libertarians are actively ejaculating

Far fewer “ifs” than any fusion project I’m aware of. I am a chemical engineer not a plasma physicist so… grain of salt.

That said, this is basically using the same physics and design of ITER – spherical Tokamak – but using high-temperature superconductors (YBCO) that weren’t available decades ago when ITER was started.

Having to use much weaker magnets is why ITER is so physically huge and directly ipacts why it costs so many billions. Industrial-scale ductile superconductors at (relatively) tractable supercritical helium temperatures only became available in ~2007

They are nearly done constructing the pilot plant SPARC in 2027 ( next year! ) that, as noted, will actually produce more power than it uses end-to-end. Its run duration is expected to be limited by engineering problems like effective cooling systems, whose designs are to be finalized by ~2033. (obvs you need to have the actual working reactor to know for sure your cooling system and everything else actually work with it)

Then they plan to build new plants as fast as orders can come in. Probably take under 2 years per generator.

We did. Years ago. Pre-cloud!

just acquire poison for themselves

… which they may well do on the darknet, to some vendor who at least will keep the transaction private.

Seriously bad OpSec just bothers me. “We sell hot sauce (and booze, ask for ‘Mr Fields’)” sort of barely worked at physical speakeasies in the 1920s. Not on the 2020’s Internet FFS.

Reminds me of the gang bangas who hold up a liquor store… then post themselves on Facebook with the booze and money.

I don’t want people to commit shade-tree suicide. I want social systems with mental and physical health care that people can really trust even about end-of-life decisions and that will respect rational consistent level-headed choices.

But absent such a system or in the cases where it breaks down, there is a utility in these markets. People should at least be aware the privacy technology exists.

To evade detection, Law offered other products – including hot sauce – to give the illusion that he operated as an industrial food-prep wholesaler.

Dumbass. Should have used standard best practices: sell on the darknet , take payment in Monero .

Tramadol is lame
