forgotTheLast··on Palantir and Anthropic AI helped the US hit 1k Iran targets in 24 hours
the only thing I see is the cover picture and the 3 sentence "AI Powered Summary"
forgotTheLast··on US economy sheds 92,000 jobs in February in sharp slide
That's skewed by the number of retirees, which naturally increases in an aging population like white US men.
forgotTheLast··on Google restricting Google AI Pro/Ultra subscribers for using OpenClaw
Not exactly what you're looking for but https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46810282
forgotTheLast··on Discord/Twitch/Snapchat age verification bypass
Two flat images, one for each of the sensor's camera
forgotTheLast··on FBI couldn't get into WaPo reporter's iPhone because Lockdown Mode enabled
I actually think it is fitting to read about a government agency weaponized by an unscrupulous billionaire going after journalists working for an unscrupulous billionaire on an unscrupulous trillionaire owned platform.
forgotTheLast··on Claude Code daily benchmarks for degradation tracking
Zero temp just uses argmax, which is what softmax approaches if you take the limit of T to zero anyway. So it could very well be deterministic.
forgotTheLast··on Eight European countries face 10% tariff for opposing US control of Greenland
The tariffs are claimed to be a national security emergency and without the approval or Congress, therefore the composition of Congress won't matter unless the Supreme court judges otherwise.
forgotTheLast··on Canada slashes 100% tariffs on Chinese EVs to 6%
Is the number of EV sales for 2025 out? I expect it to be much lower since Quebec suspended their subsidies for a good chunk of the year.

The first world is now getting the third world treatment
forgotTheLast··on Photos capture the breathtaking scale of China's wind and solar buildout
I expect to see it on the front page of HN by the end of the day
forgotTheLast··on Unauthenticated remote code execution in OpenCode
On the one hand, with 1800 open issues and 800 open PRs (most of it probably AI generated slop) makes it a bit understandable for the maintainers to be slow to reply. On the other hand, the vulnerability is so baffling that I'll make sure to stay as far away as possible from this project.
forgotTheLast··on Polymarket refuses to pay bets that US would 'invade' Venezuela
Wouldn't UMA tokens increase in value proportionally to Polymarket's market cap, considering they're basically a unit of control of that market cap?
forgotTheLast··on No, it's not a battleship
My assumption is that this will end up replacing the DDG(X) program in name only and that all the Trump "upgrades" will be scaled back or removed.
forgotTheLast··on Airbus to migrate critical apps to a sovereign Euro cloud
The French DGSE was also exposed targeting dozens of american tech aerospace companies in the 90s (and probably still are). That type of state-assisted industrial espionage is pretty common, even between "friendly" nations. I think what's different now is the US announcing its intent to meddle into internal EU politics and supporting political opposition.
forgotTheLast··on Why are your models so big? (2023)
One argument against local fine-tuning was that by the time you were done training your finetune of model N, model N+1 was out and it performed your finetune out of the box. That kinda stopped being the case last year though.
forgotTheLast··on Gmail AI gets more intrusive
Reddit does the same for comment. It's on by default and the quality of translations isn't good. Completely jarring
forgotTheLast··on How the US is preparing a Caribbean staging ground near Venezuela
Article 6

forgotTheLast··on Visible from space, Sudan's bloodied sands expose a massacre of thousands
> The October 7 massacre passed with barely any notice in much of the Western world.

That's a lie. It was front page news for a week in every major western newspaper. Just use the Wayback Machine to look at the headlines for that day.

forgotTheLast··on Visible from space, Sudan's bloodied sands expose a massacre of thousands
Hamas was the de facto government in the Gaza strip, so it was in everyone's best interest to fund them enough to keep their civil branches running (pre-oct 7).

>Qatar does, the official allows, transfer $30 million each month to the Hamas administration in Gaza. But those payments are performed in consultation with Washington and Israel - and with their approval, he says.

>Each month, he says, construction materials worth tens of millions of dollars are also delivered from Egypt to Gaza via the Rafah border crossing. those supplies are then sold by Hamas. He says the organization uses the proceeds to pay its administrative staff. Israel, in turn, he explains, supplies $10 million worth of diesel fuel to the Gaza Strip each month, with Qatar providing another 10 million to needy families. They receive $100 each, "martyr families excluded," the government representative stresses.

Rumours say a resignation letter was recovered from a bush nearby. We have Starbuck's ex-VP of HR with us in the studio tonight to help us make sense of the situation, and talk to us about their new book "Layoffs for Dummies".

220kg is about 1% of the plane's fuel capacity. They must've had a lot of faith in their fuel probes.

That's the lesson anyone who works as tech support for their tech-illiterate relatives learns eventually.

forgotTheLast··on Stripe Launches L1 Blockchain: Tempo
That term has a very specific meaning and I wish people stopped using it to mean "big tech doing something bad"
forgotTheLast··on F-35 pilot held 50-minute airborne conference call with engineers before crash
You're describing the F-35B/C
forgotTheLast··on Tesla insiders have sold more than 50% of their shares in the last year
It's being discontinued next year ironically.
