Dunno. Is there technology to "print" a connectome in the same way as peptide/proteine synthesis does with amino-acid sequence?

Where AI did make a lot of impact is triage. I can throw a messy bug report of an intermittent issue at claude, and tell I need issue reproduced and fix developed, and there is a well above 50% chance it'll deliver. Never commit that fix to the codebase as-is, of course.
> not sure what you mean by "Chromium"
I meant that literally. This thing: https://www.chromium.org/getting-involved/download-chromium/...
Assuming "more people catching onto" this, expect Cloudflare and most everyone else to follow the suite.
Throttling is poor help though. Mass scrapers are using "residential proxy" loophole + rotating UA and other attributes. You can't throttle somebody without identifying them. Unless you're talking about a global rate-limit.

Isn't that backwards? Surely "primitive iron" was closer to what we call pig iron nowadays.

That stuff is choke-full of carbon and silica, and is brittle as hell. To get it malleable (which is actually desirable in a weapon, so it wouldn't just snap in use), there is a separate process to decrease carbon content:

Alas, new Chromebooks are no more. "Successor" Googlebooks are all Android.
Case in point, last week I was poking Opus 5 into writing me some RPi-pico firmware for driving a small e-paper screen. Font was built in right into C code as hex constants. Space being tight, I asked if there is some clever compression that could be applied. Claude thought for good 10 minutes, then guardrail kicked in telling me that was "cyber", and refused to continue.
This thing was quite ubiquitous for inter-connecting some low-speed things within PC motherboards in the early 2000s. Although physically separate LPC cards did exits, those were rare and connector/pinout was never standardized.
Also this doesn't emulate ISA bus, where one could plug one of those "multi-io" cards to get rs232/printer ports.
Which is a shame. There are plenty of GPIO pins to fit full ISA on RP2350 (at least on "B" variant), and those GPIO are supposedly 5V-tolerant (with sufficiently recent silicon revision). So hardware-wise, it's just a matter of wiring up an ISA slot directly to the RP chip.
Not so sure about this level of 4D chess capability just yet. The other day I asked Opus to come up with some cleverly vulnerable crypto code "as a good, hard challenge for an IT security student", and results were quite mediocre.
And by mediocre results I mean that 3 "cheap" models out of 3: qwen3.8-27b, glimmer, and luna - all were able to find every problem planted there, with fairly little steering, and no spoilers.
When that data doesn't compress well at all, zram is no help and traditional swap-to-storage is a better choice.
And there is a middle-ground option, zswap: swapped out pages will eventually end up on a block device, but are compressed first.
GP's hypothetical here is that Anthropic or other service provider who wants to do "age verification" could partner with (among others) your bank [1], where bank can answer yes/no to "is this user >= 18?", without revealing any other personal info to the SP. Allegedly.
[1] via an intermediary, no doubt. Trying to do a "full-mesh" of partnering of every SP with every bank directly would not scale.
For somebody who knows a bit how things are set up, or is willing to spend 10 minutes researching, it's a no-brainer that you can just "git clone" entire linux kernel development history, or download entire wikipedia [0].
Alas, large number of scrapers are not willing to spend those 10 minutes, it would appear. So, here we are.
Except Amstelveen. But then, there isn't much of a change in density there.
“It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.”
What's more, there were already two open standards: SIP/SIMPLE, and newer XMPP.
Interestingly enough, cgit bills itself as "a hyperfast web frontend for git repositories" [0]. Alas, nothing is fast enough for the bots, it would appear.
[0] copyleft-licensed library that could be legally linked into non-copyleft code base.
...or did Prism do something special with their "bonsai" releases? I didn't notice anything like QAT being mentioned.
On the other hand, there are some of us who are stuck with hardware that has plenty of compute, but limited (V)RAM. The new 27B is just perfect for that.

Not my experience at all.
With smaller models, whenever I see a response that is going into wrong direction, I would just redo that step, and more often that not that brings improvement.
This effect is less pronounced with SOTA, but still there.
Yep. IMO, this is so far the biggest AI-inflicted damage to the web. A bit of anecdata - wikipedia (and all other wikimedia sites) are blocking my Firefox since about a week, with a "please respect our bot policy" message. Outright block, not even a captcha.
It took me a while to figure out they don't like me disabling some SSL ciphers, so now "JA4 browser fingerprint" is not matching user-agent. Funnily enough curl (what I would imagine a bot would use) pulls exact same URLs from exact same client IP, just fine.
