Forced as in not giving an option to disable it

The title just says “major memory vendor”. The person you’re replying to is saying that the memory vendor is SK Hynix.

They did. It’s directly beneath the code example at the top of the page.

I have a feeling the fact that people have to opt in to using Quad9 does a lot to help them in this case vs an ISP where all of their users are using the ISP’s DNS by default. But yeah it does seem like a “letter of the law vs spirit of the law thing”.

Because Sony was mentioned once in the article in reference to a different earlier case and people seem to have stopped reading there to come here and immediately complain about Sony.

> one is you dont resolve anything for the country

And the only way to do that is via GeoIP blocking…

Sounds like they get away with it legally because the law applies to ISPs and they’re not an ISP.

From your link:

> Internet service providers in Switzerland are obliged to take measures to prevent access to these domains (DNS blocking).

> Can this be gamed? Teaching the AI to write less like stock Claude and stock ChatGPT? Yes, absolutely. And honestly that would be great. Because half of the irritation is that all these AI-written article sound the same! If they're all being written with each individial's, each company's, own rules and preferences and character that'd probably be nice?

Immediately reminded my of this classic xkcd: https://xkcd.com/810

Can you share any more details? That sounds really interesting.

They also link to another post they made about AI benchmarks that I really like: https://typesafe.ai/blog/antibenchmaxxing

This is literally the last paragraph of the article right before the references:

> Funnily enough, a software-only exploit for the Xbox 360 dropped just last week , rendering my years of effort somewhat moot. Nevertheless, it was a fascinating deep dive into the inner workings of the console and the security mechanisms designed to protect it.

They didn’t omit that information. This is literally the last paragraph of the article right before the references:

I use Fable and Opus exclusively and have the exact same experience.

We also have “it has electrolytes”, a couple of the most popular YouTube sponsors are electrolyte mixes/drinks. The future is now! Haha

> they will identify and authorize only one : the harness; who sits behind will remain a mystery

This doesn’t sound right to me. To connect to the MCP server the user must authenticate. It’s not like all Claude users connect to Figma using the same account, the user connects using their Figma account. So the app still has a direct customer connection even if they lose the ability to control the UI. Unless you’re imagining some other way this would work that I’m not seeing.

I’ve only ever heard people talk about Long Covid online, I’ve never met a single person in real life that has ever claimed to have it or has any of the supposed symptoms. Everyone has been infected 1 or more times at this point. If I was never online I wouldn’t even know it existed and I honestly don’t think it does exist.

I’m not a Covid denier or anything either. I masked up and stayed in during the pandemic, I got the vaccine, etc. I had original first year Covid confirmed by a test, and I’m positive I’ve had it at least once again since then though didn’t get a test confirmation, so I’m 100% positive Covid is real (I feel like this is an obvious statement but I’m sure some people out there believe it’s a hoax or something). However I’ve seen exactly zero evidence other than online anecdotes that Long Covid exists or ever existed.

If it’s “vastly under diagnosed” I should personally know multiple people with it and should likely have family members with it (at least extended family) and yet I don’t. Not a single person. Honestly I think it’s one of those terminally online things that gets repeated a lot but only online.

> As stated earlier, we don’t consider advertising in general problematic. It’s the unethical, privacy-invasive systems that are very common today which we consider evil. Sponsorship provides a mostly ethical way of advertising.

Considering the fact that the vast majority of YouTube sponsors seem to be some kind of scam or are privacy-invasive themselves, the word “mostly” is doing a lot of heavy lifting there.

I honestly thought this was going to be a joke and just be a giant circle that said “AI” haha

The YouTube video was uploaded 18 years ago, and looks like it was filmed on a VHS camcorder. I guess it could have been 480p as the original would have been 480i, but it wouldn’t look all that much better.

This comic predates that presentation, in fact they use it in their slide deck at 39:00 in your linked video.

That presentation is awesome though, worth a watch either way!

For syncing from desktop chrome probably

Why?

> Who remembers the story of an iphone 5 prototype left a bar.

That was the iPhone 4 actually which was special for having the first “retina” screen. It was in a case to make it look like a 3GS to be used for field testing. The journalists that got their hands on it and published about it before the announcement could not turn it on past I think the Apple logo and a message saying to return it to Apple (or maybe it was just completely off, my memory is fuzzy), but were able to confirm the pixel density via microscope and I remember it blowing everyone’s minds at the time.

> people were signing petitions for Apple to not hunt down but instead forgive the employee that made such a grave mistake

FWIW I asked about it when I worked at Apple and he was indeed not fired and I think may have even still been working there when I was there around 10 years ago (though don’t quote me on that last part, he may have left already and I’m misremembering).

He was apparently not fired or even really reprimanded since it was a genuine accident and he wasn’t the one that sold it to the press, but that did start a slew of new policies around accounting for work devices.

I had dev fused phones for open carry outside of the office while I worked there but had to register when I got them and when they were returned, which apparently didn’t used to be tracked so tightly until that incident according to my coworkers who had been there longer.

> The biggest significance of anyone at OpenAI calling it AGI is their contract with Microsoft, giving MSFT access to all their IP, is based around them having achieved AGI, but presumably they can't just declare that unilaterally. > >Maybe they see getting out of the Microsoft contract as necessary to IPO.

I don’t have a link handy, but they already loosened up that contract significantly earlier this year, surely because they planned to start claiming AGI to pump their IPO and didn’t want to be beholden to all of those commitments.

The irony I’ve always found in that statement is that while it’s true that the government can’t be trusted and is generally incompetent, it’s also true of private companies. So even though it’s a true statement at face value, it’s still not a good argument for privatization which is just trading one set of incompetent and corrupt people for another set of the same but with even less oversight.

If you live in the US sure. I live in a Latin American country where it’s legal to buy coca leaves (cocaine is illegal obviously, but the leaves aren’t and are commonly sold in health food stores of all places for tea).

> Has frontier progress finally stalled?

From my experience using coding agents approximately 7 days per week for the past year and a half or so, we hit the top of the S curve about a year ago around Opus 4.5, and it’s mostly been harness and other tooling improvements since then with small percentage improvements coming from the actual models.

I was saying this already months before Fable dropped and thought from all the Mythos hype that maybe I was wrong…then Fable came out and was barely better than Opus 4.8.

Considering how many more parameters Fable is supposed to be than Opus, we seem to have hit a scaling limit at least with current transformer architecture considering how closely Fable and Opus benchmark and perform in practice.

> Why are these models able to reduce parameters but keep quality?

That’s the thing…they aren’t. Well not in real life use anyway from my experience, but yeah in benchmarks they’re great at it.

This kind of hyperbole isn’t helpful.

Security concerns about supply chain attacks in the AUR (well known to be extremely insecure well before LLMs got popular) isn’t “killing” Arch let alone “killing Linux distributions”, plural.

I’m not sure how true this is, Opus 5 immediately used 2 subagents on the first task I gave it on Friday. In fact my first thought was how it was similar to Fable in that sense.
