This is the part I find being left surprisingly hand-wavey. If you extrapolate it out, you see that it has a high likelihood of inciting physical force (read: military action) as a means of enforcement, so perhaps that's why nobody pro

Read other writing by Anthropic about potential future financial implications of AI. [1] IPO is a vehicle for future wealth distribution. It leverages existing financial frameworks in order to span the gap from before-to-after without havin

OP has practically observed the effect of the Ego via software, but hasn't quite arrived at the ability to quantify it. Read back through and apply every example given through that lens. It is possible that we're in an industry th

But here's the thing, across operating systems the products should not be identical. When you get to the point that your have a significant enough number of users across multiple platforms, generalizing everything into a shared UX does

Came here to say this as well. It's the obvious all-encompassing free office document processing suite and LLMs know how to utilize it well. Codex bundles it with the desktop app as well for the same purpose.

I had an LLM reverse engineer the API protocol of LADBS and extract the content I wanted. Wether that scales from one property to many (rate limits for one) I don't know, but I didn't encounter anything in the thousands I extracte

I did a project recently where I extracted every Los Angeles building permit record for a property and was able to look at the evolution of its infrastructure and tenancy over time by embedding the permit documents into an image-based embed

HTTP/3 is fundamentally a different architecture than /2. To fully embrace it requires rethinking backend design significantly; just bumping a version number on HTTP without utilizing the intention of the spec is incorrect. HTTP&#

I think the stranger thing is that people spend tens of hours doing analysis like this to hit an inevitably-expiring hype cycle that will give us a definitive answer shortly.

What most people leave out of the conversation is the element of time. We are early. The technology continues to improve. Is it perfect now? Absolutely not. Will it continue to get better at a surprising pace? Absolutely yes. So, just adjus

People assemble projects from a collection of buzzwords these days without understanding the underlying technology. Did he need to use tailscale to interact with the box remotely? No. But, it's what a google search will tell you to do.

Oh, that's just a garden variety memory leak. Most applications these days are very good about that; you likely have just a single app that you use regularly that leaks. If you kill the process the memory will be recovered, save for so

Wait, how does literally no one in this thread mention swap? IME, many default installations in recent years don't configure swap by default. Dedicate a few tens-of-gigabytes on your hard drive and memory overflows there instead of bor

This feature is born out of the same government that created the cookie laws, so it makes sense to me that it would follow similar politically-valuable but practically-questionable set of beliefs. Really, Anthropic (and the other labs that

Ah yes sandbox it because Docker has never experienced a CVE. Also you admit your own failure points: restricting access to the home dir, when a user needs access to the home dir, will just result in users exposing their home dir. Defense a

Coupled with the fact that free VM is marketing, nothing more, it's odd people would feel any other way. The idea that a company would give compute away for free without one-or-more underlying motives is incredibly naive. The users of

What happened in July 2025 and January 2026? If that can't be explained in a concise way this entire dataset is vibes at best.

Completely agree. This posture is applicable while we ease out of what I'm calling the "golden era" (loose restrictions on access with limited consequence) but one of the reasons I am pedantic and bearish about solutions like

It's not reliable, and presenting it as-such shows a lack of understanding of basic security posture. Don't take my word for it, watch the news in <6 months and we'll certainly see it get bypassed.

Fair point! I guess I read "pacing the frontier" as "pacing the release of the frontier" surely no lab's internal research team is just going to stop innovating?

Something people don't seem to see, and not that it's placed directly in front of you, is that pacing the release and adoption of AI is already happening. Cost-per-token determines the economic viability of tasks that AI gets appl

I do something very similar. With some hacky string matching you can detect wether a window is available for reception and get past that. I desire a more robust system which injects the events into the harness directly, but haven't fou

Gigabit / 2.5 Gbit connectivity is already obsolete. Any modern product must have 10gbe WAN with the hardware to back up NAT at that throughput.
