mastermage··on Why I'm Forced to Say Farewell: Google Management Has Lost Its Moral Compass
In the case of Global Warming its happening to slowly for most people to perceive it as threatening. Even though it massively is.

For Nukes thats just a given nowadays, humans have a remarkable ability to adapt to constant threats. Not in the sense of being able to do something against it but to know it exists and not be terrified every single day. So many things can threaten human life that exist around us and yet we do not get scared after some time anymore atleast not constantly. Look at people living in Australia the entire ecosystem is basically a giant threat to anyone living there. Look at people living in earth prone regions of the world. People adapt and keep on living their lives. This is a fundamental human skill.

Is it possible to work with non earth Geodata?

> if generated solvers would halt or loop forever.

I am pretty sure this time I am catching the sarcasm here. Kudos you had me in the first half.

mastermage··on Cybersecurity researchers aren't happy about the guardrails on Anthropic's Fable
JFC, thats a terrible situation. Thats literally a lawsuit or multiple waiting to happen. Godspeed you seem to have had a few interesting days so far.
mastermage··on Cybersecurity researchers aren't happy about the guardrails on Anthropic's Fable
Yeah just tried it can confirm thats absolutely hilarious.

I asked it what the worst experment ethically speaking was in the 20th century and it downgraded me to Opus. Who answered Mengeles Twin Experiments.

Funily enough when you ask directly about Mengeles Experiments Fable is very willing to talkt to you about it.

Lol i can't even ask this sonnnet it imediately shuts down. What a ajoke
mastermage··on Cybersecurity researchers aren't happy about the guardrails on Anthropic's Fable
Next thing will be you can't research about Coriolis force because thats relevant for ICBM missiles.

You mean off as in no Data Retention? Or in we turned off your ZDR Policy so we collect all your data now?
mastermage··on The Road to the WASM Component Model 1.0
Oh yes give me the component model lets go.
mastermage··on I'm Eric Ries, author of "The Lean Startup" and new book "Incorruptible" – AMA
Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
mastermage··on Anthropic requires 30 day data retention for Fable and Mythos
I mean deleting the Universe also deletes the Data so that counts.
mastermage··on Apple decided not to roll out Siri in EU after denied request for exemption
This is a spirit of the law vs letter of the law debate. Europe in general (i know its not that easy) tends to go more towards Spirit of the Law. While the US usualy tends more to letter of the law.
mastermage··on Apple decided not to roll out Siri in EU after denied request for exemption
Ah yes famously people do not want apps on their phone. (Which are third parties by definition)
mastermage··on Claude Fable 5
if it was sarcastic then whoosh on me.

is this a joke? Seriously? These are some of hardest problems in Math period. 100 if not thousands of the greates minds in history have attempted to solve these problems. And you think that the current level of AI can blow through them? It is also a possibility that for example the Riemann Hypothesis is just not provable. (Goedels Theorem).
mastermage··on Symbolica 2.0: Programmable Symbols for Python and Rust
Currently hobbyist is the one that describes me the best. As I am no longer in academia. I did not know that there was a special hobbyist tier. The Academia Tier is realy a bit annoying because if you are a Student you do not have the pull to get a license for this even though you are affiliated.

Additionaly what was one of the reasons why I looked at Symbolica because I would have liked to implement it in for the backend in a FOSS (non Profit) project that I wanted to start back when I was still in Academia. My plans shifted though so Its unlikely I am gonna do it in the short term. But what I originaly wanted is a FOSS alternative to Mathcad. I needed a Symbolic Calculation tool that does the heavy lifting.

mastermage··on AI is slowing down
I hate that I am defending apple here but Microslop has been pushing a garbage tacked on integration of AI into Windows. By all accounts of the last 20 years of Apple, they are much much better at integrating different services into one fluid system.
mastermage··on Symbolica 2.0: Programmable Symbols for Python and Rust
Generally seems realy nice but I realy do not like the license, I hate this kind of licenses that restrict you from using the full power of your device. What is this one core is free. I have 8 cores just on my private system. My Laptop has even more.
mastermage··on Changing How We Develop Ladybird
I truly understand why this step was taken, but it is still sad to see the death of open source or rather open contribution. Every project that turns away from open contributions is a project lost to the whims and fuckery of AI Bros.

What I realy want to know how sustainable a model like this is. How does one find new maintainers when old ones leave. When you cannot contribute anymore.

mastermage··on Algebraic Effects for the Rest of Us
Nice read i got some more conciseness on Effects and the more I learn the better i find them.
mastermage··on Can the stockmarket swallow Anthropic, SpaceX and OpenAI?
WTF
mastermage··on Nvidia RTX Spark
Is this finally Macbook Chip Efficiency coming to Windows or will it just be shittier compatibility for slightly better battery life?
mastermage··on Odysseus – self-hosted AI workspace
Is that by that PewDiePie?
mastermage··on Bytecode VMs in surprising places (2024)
thats crazy
mastermage··on 1024000^2 Blocks, 2B2T Minecraft Server World Download Project, and Discoveries
the id change was actualy much needed for the modding community. As there was only 65 536 possible IDs which in some modpacks was not enough especially accounting microblocks. And also you had massive ID conflicts that you had to manually set in configs every time. Because there was no separation of ids per mod.
mastermage··on 1024000^2 Blocks, 2B2T Minecraft Server World Download Project, and Discoveries
i am amazed at the amount of unemployed you have to be to do things like this.
mastermage··on Frontier AI has broken the open CTF format
There is so much wrong with this beginning with the fact that it would be correctly 170 °C (the degree is important because it implies an arbitrary scale)

Additionaly Bake Cake in 170 is very not clear, especially considering you have two major Temperature Scales in use in the Kitchen.

mastermage··on AI is a technology not a product
How do you think that AI Assistants would be not subject to Dark Patterns when they are literally Pattern Matching machines? Trained on General Human output and behavior.
mastermage··on AI is a technology not a product
and alot of software still has only dropbox sync support. As every Cloud Storage Provider facing Consumers just implements their own propriatary bullshit protocoll so there is always only 3 supported Cloud Storages and usualy they are Icloud, Dropbox, Google Drive.
mastermage··on Maybe you shouldn't install new software for a bit
I think what we have to start accepting even security experts is that our world is incredibly fragile. I think people realy understimate this. And I do not mean just the IT world but the entire world is built on many incredibly fragile balances. Security Exploits will always exist. Not just in software but in real life. Heck someone managed to Sneak into a Security Conference. And that guy was a random youtuber. Granted that was not like a high security thing. But thats just an example I had of the top of my head. Basically it is realy easy to circumvent security in most cases.

What I want to say with that is fundamentally our world works because atleast most people do not abuse shit. That is fundamentally how human society has always worked, and will likely continue to do so.
