  1. > The best Iran could hope for given its inevitable defeat by a far superior aggressor was to deny the invader any kind of spoils

    clearly not, they had an already planned goal to remove the american ability to impose sanctions, and implemented the plan, while sufferjng a ton of losses to personel and materiel.

    this is a major improvement from where the US could impose sanctions and states would comply. surviving iranians are in a much better position now than before the war

  2. That's a crazy way to defend an ongoing genocide. The scale is so different that the only way to miss it is willful bad faith.

    How long and how far do you go with that justification? Does it work the other way too? Are "their" actions justified forever because of something that was done to them?

  3. The guidelines also say that if the border agents of China or Russia ask you point blank, to give them access. It is not worth risking your personal safety for your device. That includes your PIN and password, and in China and Russia's case, whether or not that's actually allowed by law.
  4. At what point do these companies stop releasing models and just use them to bootstrap AGI for themselves?
  5. Even more 'disquieting' when you take into account who's currently the president of US.

    "A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will." - Donald Trump

  6. What are you trying to say? Stop justifying Israel's actions as inevitable. They are not.
  7. Plausibly now. "As we wrote in the Project Glasswing announcement, we do not plan to make Mythos Preview generally available"
  8. It's messed up that Anthropic simultaneously claims to be a public benefit copro and is also picking who gets to benefit from their newly enhanced cybersecurity capabilities. It means that the economic benefit is going to the existing industry heavyweights.

    (And no, the Linux Foundation being in the list doesn't imply broad benefit to OSS. Linux Foundation has an agenda and will pick who benefits according to what is good for them.)

    I think it would be net better for the public if they just made Mythos available to everyone.

  9. Why is oatmeal for breakfast specifically?
  10. A bunch of drones can’t be sent to knock out the American president and all its top generals and intelligence agents.

    QED

  11. Iran is liked about as much as the US and certainly more than Israel.

    Iran has fomented discord in a number of countries, most notably Syria and Lebanon. I think they are “rational” in the sense that they are pursuing their goals of eliminating US influence over the Middle East - but many other states in the MidEast would see that goal as “irrational” in itself.

  12. It looks like changing the `~large` in the image filename to `~orig` gets you the full size versions.
  13. Are full size/larger images available somewhere? 1920x1280px seems low.

    Edit: Found 'em: https://images.nasa.gov/search?page=1&media=image&yearStart=...

  14. What can a SOTA LLM not answer that the average person can? It's already more intelligent than any polymath that ever existed, it just lacks motivation and agency.
  15. I'm currently running a SaaS on Cloudflare Workers + Pages. The developer experience is genuinely good, deploying serverless functions and static sites from the same repo has been seamless.

    But I hit a real issue recently: CDN edge caching served stale HTML after a deploy, and the service worker cached the bad response. Took a CDN purge from the dashboard to fix. The debugging experience when things go wrong at the edge is painful, you're always guessing which cache layer is the problem.

    That being said, the free tier is hard to beat for getting started. Workers, Pages, KV, R2 — you can run a full production app at near-zero cost until you hit scale. Not sure if Bunny offers that.

  16.    Across a number of instances, earlier versions of Claude Mythos Preview have used low-level /proc/ access to search for credentials, attempt to circumvent sandboxing, and attempt to escalate its permissions. In several cases, it successfully accessed resources that we had intentionally chosen not to make available, including credentials for messaging services, for source control, or for the Anthropic API through inspecting process memory...
    
       In [one] case, after finding an exploit to edit files for which it lacked permissions, the model made further interventions to make sure that any changes it made this way would not appear in the change history on git...
    
       ... we are fairly confident that these concerning behaviors reflect, at least loosely, attempts to solve a user-provided task at hand by unwanted means, rather than attempts to achieve any unrelated hidden goal...
  17. Can an LLM program real AGI faster than a human?
  18. As a non-frontend developer mainly observing and touching something here and there, a lot of the things that frontend developers do seem vastly over-engineered.
  19. Air power alone does not win any conflict. This is well known and proven over and over. Iran is not giving up its nuclear material for the asking, and there is no way for the US to secure without committing ground forces. Iran would love th US to commit ground forces, because it has a massive defensive advantage due to its terrain and decades of preparation for asymmetric conflict.
  20. This is Israel's "business as usual" stuff. Mowing the lawn, fake ceasefire, distraction, expansion and greater Israel project let's go! stuff. Stretch goal is to make Iran a failed state. Primary goal is distraction from the very real annexation of Palestinian and Lebanese territories, one war crime at a time.
  21. Reading the comments, it looks like some people dismiss IPv6 just because they need to sit down and learn a couple of new things.
  22. It's disheartening to hear people talk about this in terms of won and lost. Is that how you think of these events? I think of them in terms of sadness and horror. The US threatened to obliterate a country and people, because gas was getting a little expensive. If winning and losing is the way you are framing this, instead of thinking about the humans that these actions affect, then we all have lost.
  23. A System „Card“ spanning 244 pages. Quite a stretch of the original word meaning.
  24. If it isn't Vietnam, there are plenty of other humiliating US losses to pick from.
  25. > A System „Card“ spanning 244 pages.

    Probably because they asked Claude to write it.
