But somehow, it is his company that he brought to that point, and also why would he care for being spied on by a country or another? There is nothing that said that he had to swear fidelity to the US.

Someone coming from 10 to 15 years in a past would think that people are crazy now. And looks like that he would be right when you see the amount of vulnerabilities and stupid breaches like people being pawned just by doing an update with npm or so.
I got one and was also suspicious but wondering why there was hundred of variations of official website and related but no one talking about them, about that!
Looks like that they scoot the current post to downvote comments posted with useful link exposing them.
Btw I recommend that you go to the "zooqueen" website from the link in the github page. it is totally surreal!
All of that is so elaborate that I'm really wondering if it is just a case of 3 teenagers in a garage doing a elaborate scam to try to get traction just by copying existing things or if it could be something like a NK or russian deep cover operation to breach important open source developers key/accounts.
So far their tools looks like not to have malware based on the other link author, but nothing says that they can't do a targeted update or profit of the sent LLM content to have everything needed for their evil purpose.
That is the worst with their UX currently, only challenged by the stupidity of the code diff page that hide the most modified files so you can easily miss them and it is impossible to do a ctrl+f search on the page.
- Yes, but only one time, you will have to manually approve next time
- Enable auto mode and stop worrying
- No
Nothing to save this command or part of it to the manual approve list. So will be requested again 100x times.
I like that the authors appears to be honest and well meaning by ensuring to make it clear every where that they basically know nothing or can't disclose it.
A data point they use and that shows a nice growing chart is: "Informal self-reported uplift over time from Anthropic employees"
What a joke to pretend it is anything close to a valid scientific data point.
It is "self reported", a "uplift" feeling without concrete measure, and from "Anthropic employees" that are the one creating the tools that pretend to be evaluated here.
You see someone saying "my work is so much horse shit that i would not use it myself", "or you pay me to improve that, but it doesn't make me more efficient or worse". And also, even if you wanted to be honest, how would it look when you have to face the top management after. Not considering that their "stocks" value might depend on their reply.
And you have the following that is so totally bullshit crazy:
"We did not see evidence for significant bottlenecks which would prevent further capabilities progress due to limits on algorithmic progress, training compute, experiment compute, or data in the next 12 months."
There is a ram shortage worldwide, it becomes hard to find supply in GPU or build data centers, but they don't see training compute limitation in the coming year...
Then, usually you play the list by itself from random position and order. So I quite often listen to them, but for a playlist of maybe 50 entries, i will just noticed that things disappeared when looking at the "hidden entries" thing.
If you do it at the ISP level, it is very obvious that it is the consumer that will pay because the monthly bill will increase of the same amount.
This is why you have the current proposal, because in their twisted mind, the rich digital giants will foot the bill of any tax without the customer paying anything.
The parliamentary responsible for that even said "the customer will not pay anything because Facebook is free".
To be noted that there are also to additional factor pushing for that on the political side:
- Here we have "unlimited" plan on almost anything, and ISP have to compete so no one can go back to "per-giga" plan to be able to extract more income. So ISP are lobbying hard for such laws that could allow them to have a good excuse to stop unlimited plans all at the same time.
- The political group that are pushing that are quite retarded, and they have an ecological agenda that is totally unscientific. And so they are really like thinking that they act for the environment because when you watch a youtube video dolphins are dying and if you have thousands of emails in your mailbox, you pollute as much as doing a round trip flight between Paris and NewYork. So consuming "data" is bad because it is like consuming physical products...
My best guess was also that in one or two days they will drop a new model that will be so much more better than the nerfed 5.5.
Here we are just like having waited for a few years for a fix already...
The big added value of Lenovo is that you can often be delivered the next day.
Lenovo are quite good at the moment.
What I think I discovered after years of internet searching for it, is that it is related to the cpu sleep state that are available.
Before, when going to sleep, the cpu was really going to sleep. Kind of shutting the power off. In that state, the laptop would not wake up for random events at random times. But nowadays, the only cpu state that is offered by the cpu for sleep mode is one where the cpu is still running, but in very low power/activity mode. Like "simulating" the sleep. But so, from the motherboard point of view, the cpu is up and running.
And so, because of that, you could easily have random events that wake up the laptop when it is closed and then it will start to do nothing but heat up as closed and probably in a bag. Fan might spin, without an effect as in a confined space, but so the battery exhausting very fast. Until the laptop run out of battery.
For event I think that it might be something like a fake touch event on the touchpad because of movement of the laptop, screen touching when compressed or things like that; a little bit higher temperature sensor reading because of high outside temperature, or indeed a device driver that is not completely off like a wifi card that will trigger events.
Where it was the most confusing is that for the half a decade old laptop, it has both mode but recently linux distributions started to favor the cpu "fake sleep" as sleep mode by default instead of the "real sleep" that was used previously. Switching the config to "real sleep" appears to solve the problem but new laptops doesn't have this mode available anymore.
French authorities and network operator will in fact prefer that you don't have alternative than using the dns servers that they are providing.
So it sucks that Quad9 is closing their resolver to french IPs. If they stand by their values, they should continue to accept the requests, just leave all office and business ties with France.
Similar to ofcom things against 4chan.
Just so you have a clear image of what is going on, you have pseudo student demonstrating asking for better infrastructure that are burning down their schools. Even brand new support modern schools...
Especially finding the solution that is based on using a random number generator.
It's like people seeing proof that the future was written in Harry Potter books by reading the first letter of the top of the page of a weird set of pages.
Look at the recent news that Anthropic will ban users that insult their models. How can it make any logic sense?
But it could easily become "punishable by law" also:
- Abusing (non sexually) a fictitious person that is a LLM.
- Insulting a LLM in a chat box, based on a fact that it speaks and appear to behave like a human. The LLM can pretend and simulate that it is offended if you forget that it is just bytes behind.
And in the end, how to consider the following case:
- You have a government call center for a public service, you are aggressive and insult the agent -> it is potentially a legal crime
- Now the agent of this public service that you are talking to is in fact an AI, clearly stated as so, an you insult it very aggressively. -> No human being is hurt so should it be an legal offense?

Honestly it is probably not bad for Mozilla to start such a business, but I have the feeling that it is not in the spirit of "open source"/"freedom for users" Mozilla that we used to have before an Uber exec became in charge.
Now it is like any other startup, and it is possible that in a few years you have features that you will only find in the "entreprise" edition, and that the entreprise edition is distributed in binary only because of "security reason" to protect "entreprise" features.
What is funny is that everyone forgot, but at some point in time, there was the CCK for Netscape and then Mozilla Firefox, allowing to create a standalone installation of the browser that was customized to your preferences as a company or organisation or anything. Your choice of default settings, search engine, background color, plugins, ...
And people were worried the same as what we can expect today that it might give tools to companies to "restrict" their users: https://lwn.net/Articles/182904/
So you might have to wait for 10s or more to have a new lambda instance spawning up and replying to your requests. And you might have to have your function finish in 15 minutes, deals with the strange concurrency and scaling rules lambda is based on.
He explained that the rate of issues being opened was accelerating, and if it kept up the project would face a large number of unresolved open issues. ""We're currently at 3,000 [open issues]. This is already too much to have a handle on. So I don't know. This is not great"."
And you can easily guess that these 3k issues are just the tip of the iceberg.

But they said: it is ok now, because you can get a certificate for free with let's encrypt. So suppose, you have a local device not connected to internet or your own private network server/services, with 3 month validity, it was short but you were able to generate the certificate in some way, manually, and deploy it manually also.
You could also easily manual renew and deploy the certificates.
Now, with a very short period, especially the 7 days that is their end goal, your devices needs to be constantly connected to internet, constantly receiving "things" from LE that are automatically downloaded and "installed". And it becomes impossible, to manually manage the certificate renewal, so you are force to let automatic scripts/agent do that work. And most probably also let the script/agent auto-update itself because of "breaking changes" like it happened with certbot.
And all of that being, with a short lifetime, you are now constantly at will of Let's Encrypt, and in the end the US state and government where all of this is located. You depend of the https for a lot of things, now at the US gov will you can be cut off, eventually be monitored or be targeted, in a very short timeframe of "days" instead of months.
You can also more easily have your certificates impersonated in a hard to catch way as certificates will be constantly renewed.
And even in a non evil plot, if anything happens to let's encrypt, down time or anything, you could have your service broken with dead certificate in a so short time that you would not even have the time to look for a solution. Today you have at least months to figure out.
