cmxch··on Amid Increased Scrutiny, ICE Detention and Deportation Data Goes Dark
He wasn’t murdered. He was prevented from murdering.
cmxch··on Wicklow hotel cancels 'secretive' Peter Thiel group conference
Find the hacktivist and ensure that that the book of law is thrown good and hard at them in court.

No different than if the opposition did the same to a left leaning/sympathizing group.

cmxch··on New serious vulnerabilities spiked around release of Claude Mythos Preview
And if it’s Mythos or Claude derived (a strong hint for Mythos), discard it faster.
cmxch··on The Demoralization of the White-Collar Worker
Only to the activist class.

Thankfully, Palantir and others were built to counter them.

cmxch··on New serious vulnerabilities spiked around release of Claude Mythos Preview
TBH, I’d reject Mythos or similar reports and require full reproduction on a publicly available model before considering them valid.
cmxch··on New serious vulnerabilities spiked around release of Claude Mythos Preview
Show your work so others can reproduce it.

Or it functionally does not exist.

(No, long hashes with an equally mythic promise of reproducibility don’t count)

cmxch··on New serious vulnerabilities spiked around release of Claude Mythos Preview
How many are valid and reproducible ones and how many are just mythical unicorns?
cmxch··on Rust Coreutils cp Ended Up Breaking Ubuntu Image Builds with Incompatibility
Maybe don’t release something like this so fast? Or at least make it optional and not mandatory?
cmxch··on Spain Orders Blacklist of Palantir from Public and Private Companies
Can’t form a COMINTERN if the US is watching.
cmxch··on Ships keep moving through Hormuz despite strike
By whose measure and what priors do they hold of the US?
cmxch··on Flock cameras track more than your license plate, and they're spreading fast
And criminals notice fast that the neighborhoods that don’t have them are easy pickings.
cmxch··on Curl will not accept vulnerability reports during July 2026
Or maybe don’t have devices doing double duty such that 2FA and work devices can be partitioned out from any incidental personal use. That way, even if you have one half of it, you still don’t have enough to attempt work.
cmxch··on Curl will not accept vulnerability reports during July 2026
Just publish early due to a documented lack of cooperation. They don’t have to answer, but you dont have to wait.

Naturally some people find that this offensive since this puts a price to that “bliss”.

cmxch··on War Crimes Seem to Be Official US Policy Now
Rome (US) will always have its critics.

It’s our job to make sure they don’t have any power.

cmxch··on If Claude Fable stops helping you, you'll never know
I’d wonder how Fable would handle it if you call the model out for it and at least require it to at least notify/refuse instead.
cmxch··on The iPhone's Last Stand?
If Windows Mobile* and maybe the Catapult FPGAs** are any indication, those are relatively lower walls than Apple.

The still unbroken(?) Zune and Windows RT are two rare exceptions.

* - from the HTC HD2 to the latter Lumias like the 1020 and 950/XL

** - buy a Quartus license and you have boatloads of small-ish DIY networkable Arria 10 GX accelerators at your disposal.

cmxch··on The iPhone's Last Stand
At least with Microsoft it’s more likely to not be a walled garden.
cmxch··on Massachusetts bans sale of precise location data in new privacy rights bill
Criminals rejoice.
cmxch··on The architecture of the internet creates risks for democracy
For the American ideal of democracy or the European ideal of militant democracy?
cmxch··on U.S. to dismantle system tracking Atlantic currents that are at risk of collapse
For the benefit of those who missed it the first time:

The Just Cash Pallets Over Americans agreement, where Iran was rewarded for all the wrong things and the public kept in the dark.

cmxch··on GrapheneOS user reported to authorities for using GrapheneOS
> By comparison, the British government seems far more civilised

Henry Nowak would disagree.

cmxch··on Do we need billionaires?
Only the death of a lot of gravy trains and slush funds enabled by USAID and similar.

At the best, it’d be a stretch to claim that USAID was the sole or primary thing that kept people alive or disease free.

cmxch··on U.S. to dismantle system tracking Atlantic currents that are at risk of collapse
Less Aspen arrogance is a net positive for America, at the cost of dethroning a few deep pocketed environmentalists.

If you can find a cleaner way to do it, I’m all ears.

cmxch··on U.S. to dismantle system tracking Atlantic currents that are at risk of collapse
Upside - Aspen loses it’s arrogant environmentalists and it starts mining silver again.
cmxch··on SpaceX's IPO is a disaster waiting to happen for your pension fund
Fine, but someone will make more money. And it’ll be theirs, not yours.
cmxch··on Expanding Project Glasswing
Given where Mythos alleges to go, reproducibility far beyond a hash promise, an alleged (but not really proven) existence of an PoC, and “Trust me bro” is necessary.

When an ungated (or even abliterated) public model can repeatedly, easily, and accurately embarrass Anthropic’s models, that might change.

cmxch··on My Students Can't Read
So basically you want to tier bin people’s lives and careers because of one or two numbers?

Fuck No.

cmxch··on Expanding Project Glasswing
I hope that such agreement gets broken hard and given the MSRC cold shoulder. If that means abliterated Qwen et al embarrasses Mythos to deliver a wider rollout, I’ll take that.

Trusting Anthropic to deliver is like asking Microsoft to pay out for bugs.

Its analysis from prompt/harness to end products.

How Mythos’s mysterymeat got there from front to back.
