The airline asks the age of each minor traveler when tickets are booked. The airline could perfectly well require that a kid be seated next to a caretaker. (Regardless of whether they impose an extra charge for that.) Your gripe here is wit

That makes sense. I just found it interesting that the markings were considered something that could fall into that category. I thought those were usually so broad (e.g. NOFORN) that they wouldn't be.

It's interesting that they chose to redact some of the markings on the document. (e.g. you see "SECRET" and below that there's a redacted mark.)

What I mean is that it is just the internal binary format they were using before, converted to XML. I don't believe the file format was developed as an act of sabotage; it was just some internal shit they were using because that's

The format wasn't the act of sabotage. The way they drove it through the standardization process was. It couldn't have been standardized through the normal process. Similarly, pointing to it, afterwards, as if it were just as impl

It's nice that they enumerate the risks: https://support.anthropic.com/en/articles/12012173-getting-s... It's much less nice that they're more-or-less silent on how to mitigate those risks.

I understand that annoyance. But that's why it can't "cross-compile perfectly fine."

Email sending services now offer tips on how to evade the filters that apply those special labels. And if you buy the expensive version, they'll even help you test whether or not your edits were effective at that. So maybe google fucke

Maybe? I've got an email address that's 25 years old, and there's so much spam that I rarely use it; if I don't see an email within about 1 hour of receiving it, it's off the first screen. I still go there periodica

It's decidedly in my default load for my Linux desktops. And I don't dislike it on Mac, either. The only reason I ever came to try Base is because I use Setapp for a few other things and Base is included.

I tried on the mac store. For the unquoted search, it now comes in 7th for me. If I just search for ublock, I don't see it at all. The mac store has long been bad, but this seems worse.

It feels like a missed opportunity. You could have attempted some humorous prompt injection.

That makes sense, at least as a partial explanation. Thanks.

I think the term "supply chain attack" is frequently overused, and if I were feeling cantankerous, I might split hairs and argue that I was framing it more as a "watering hole attack" instead. But I agree that it could a

On the other hand, if you want to make your tool detect an agent and try a little prompt injection, or otherwise attempt to make the LLM misbehave, this seems like an excellent approach.
