I call bullshit on that book. I've never worked anywhere that kept people on just for the sake of it. Sure there might have been people who probably should have been fired, but the job they performed wasn't fake.

No one with cash is going to fund your three day weekend. No billionaire is pushing AI so we can all get a Universal Basic Income.

Ignoring all the positives & negatives surrounding this technology for a minute, this is an amazing outcome for the kids.

Nice website :)

Really cool write up - thanks for sharing.

That's the key part for me. I was honestly beginning to despair that the people in the US were just going to let him trample over everything.

As an Australian, I can say we are all very relieved.

Yeah it was ... it just wasn't the ONLY hard part.

Because they can. Why do people write new programming languages or operating systems when we already have more than we 'need'?

This is nuts! They have managed to compile the OTP/BEAM to WASM. They are shipping a 730 KB Wasm binary and booting the VM takes around 200 ms. Amazing effort.

Super cool :)

Great to read some good news for once. Solar in Aus is gong gang busters, as are home batteries. Awesome combo.

Well, yes - if the model has been trained/edited to be malicious.

In case it wasn't clear to anyone else: "An abliterated model is an open-weight large language model (LLM) modified to remove its built-in refusal behavior by directly editing its internal weights rather than using a prompt-based jailbreak."

Pretty cool idea: "buds compete for light, the tree distributes a growth resource among them, and the successful ones produce new shoots. Those shoots change the light available for the next round. The crown shape emerges from this feedback loop."

I would never have thought to generate tree shapes by simulating real life

Why are offensive users not subject to the same limitations? Assuming it is because they are using different models, why aren't the defenders doing the same?

How is this working? I can't tell if they are using flaps as well??

"a software factory is just an extension of what you've always done: start projects, give up on them and go back to work on Monday" ... OUCH.

I've used Incus, but not Incus OS. Sounds pretty appealing though - immutable OS, A/B updates & very locked down.

Nice ;)

Fast forward to 11:15 to see the tricks.

Seems like a pretty empty product announcement: it's faster; it has a new Siri ... it's faster.

Yep, this is why.

Yes, of course they would. I'd still sign up

Well, I would. I'd love to run Asahi on my Mac at work, but can't do it unless I can support AV, AM & DLP etc. This is a step closer to me being able to do that.

Yeah, this needs more votes ... such hypocrisy.

OK, yep, makes sense.

Why on Earth not??

It's an amazing site - well done.

I love PostgreSQL, but the clustering story is definitely easier in MySQL land.
