I've never been downwind of a rocket explosion or an EV fire, Fireworks are something that make me annoyed at the air quality degradation quite often.

You just do a ride with two stops, one at the restaurant, and ask them to wait. It's not remotely clandestine or complicated.

I've definitely had notifications I consider spam direct from Google before. Apple/Google are not trustworthy.

That's probably true, but when you're talking about 100 subagents you're talking about something that costs $100/hour to run, and Mythos takes $20k to find a vulnerability, so the question isn't "can dumber mod

It seems like Mythos is often (or typically?) costing $20k per vulnerability, so I don't think there will be enough compute capacity in the world any time soon to let a lot more people use it the way Glasswing is using it. That is not

What's the difference between a "general world model combined with a python coding model" and a multimodal LLM?

It is not getting easier to obtain hardware that can run models which are sufficiently useful to undercut frontier models, if anything the cost of such hardware has gone up by 25% or more just in the past 6 months.

The point is that they distributed AGPL licensed software which legally speaking puts them on very thin ice if they say "actually you're not allowed to modify that software we gave you and explicitly told you you could modify to d

My point is simply that you suggested that qualified immunity doesn't apply to this case, and I agree that it should not in principle but my understanding of the case law is that it typically does.

In this very article the police department argued that taking a laptop and not entering it into evidence is protected by qualified immunity. People think that qualified immunity applies to every story in the news because the police argue th

It's very common for companies to have a $1M/year contract that depends on $100k/year in AWS resources. (and maybe they have 3+ such contracts.) They could lose a contract if their account gets shut down for nonpayment, it&#x

This isn't something so fanciful as fusion power, this is reasonably something that might be within the capabilities of object detection transformers. Whether a different prompt/finetuning with a good dataset could make this work

The thing is it doesn't really prove LLMs can't do this, it proves no existing frontier LLMs can do this. The part where they talk about sampling multiple runs is interesting - it suggests to me that in the next few years as the r

If it's videos sending over local wifi is the best option, even with people you know.

by lukeschlather 6mo ago
With Linux it's very easy as long as you're okay going offline - just make an ad hoc wifi network, have the other device connect to it, then you can do whatever (Localsend, host a local webserver on the linux machine, whatever.)

I don't think we've agreed to anything. That said I think paying for something like Claude Code makes a lot of sense because you can outsource the question of "how many tokens should I use per hour and how should I use them?&

Requiring every package in F-Droid to pay a developer licensing fee is not protecting anyone, in fact it will make people less safe. The whole model of F-Droid relies on free software, needing to pay a license fee to Google banishes people

A decentralized government ID system is a contradiction in terms. Government ID is and must be centralized. For me the decentralization is precisely the problem. I shouldn't end up with my government ID registered in a newspaper's

I understand the security spyware, though I think it's somewhat questionable there. But this sounds like deliberately putting all of your most sensitive data in a blender and then inevitably letting anyone get a taste of the smoothie.

I mean, your argument is that Google has had increasing revenue and profit for a decade, to the point that they have $400B in revenue + profit this year, and that they are going to lose money because they plan to spend $180B on capital proj

The answers to both of those questions are pretty guarded trade secrets. Amazon and Google just to name a couple examples are very profitable companies and I would not bet on them investing all this money without real use cases where profit

Equating this buildout with LLMs is also a category error. Waymo (self-driving cars) depends on the same infrastructure, and there are a variety of other robotics programs which are actually functioning, you can see them in operation. They
