yeah bet on their blog they posted urbit 101 beginners guide. not linking that for obvious reasons

with such tenure i wonder if some of these people are interns or something in current american administration

only 8% of the time

yeah china just makes things, i doubt that iranian military ever had a shot at getting american gnss receivers. any of modern civilian ones allows for use of signals from all 4 constellations anyway, and the jamming resistance comes from either using encrypted signals or by using more sophisticated receivers that have tiny phased array and can cut out a zone where jammer is (to some degree)

The traditional way to exchange brain worms has been replaced by LW forum tho

still 84% to go

idk i think it’s new that someone in mainstream sort of calls them cultists, namedrops EY as cult leader and fanfic writer and everything that you could hear about in our circlejerk, but also shortly before EZ said that he’s been called doomer and a crank but now he’s vindicated to a degree not thought possible. this all happens after drop of that openai financial info, so EZ also held off, and EZ is PR guy so i guess he knows what he’s doing, and maybe he thinks this might be it, or maybe he doesn’t have anything better and plays his hand in best way he can. i wonder what comes next

zitron’s last podcast calls anthropic/openai top brass weirdos and cultists they are, describes their beliefs about building the machine god as bad philosophy and something that must go hard when you’re 12 https://omny.fm/shows/better-offline/the-ai-industry-must-stop-doom-trolling-w-cal-newport

but that would cut down openai costs

tbf i expected that ed got openai’s s1 at that point. anything more detailed would be nice to see. that also suggests that saltman knows that leak occurred, and maybe who leaker is

i’ll just quote it straight because i can’t make it any funnier:

maia arson crimew 🏴 ‪> @crimew.gay‬ SCOOP: So remember Dialog, Peter Thiel’s private society that doesn’t have a public website and no public list of members? I (along with a number of other journalists) have just been tipped off that embedded in the code of their closed off website there IS what seems to be a list of some members.

zitron got a scoop on openai: 8.8B loss in 2024, 60.3B loss in 2025, 1.17B from ms + softbank, promises more detailed analysis later https://www.wheresyoured.at/exclusive-openai-financials/

it’s nice to have a preprint about a phenomenon that has been weaponized years ago. it’s easy to say that in retrospect, but it was easy to say that in advance too. there are also bots that might try to do something similar on lemmy

there’s a couple of jobs where you get to do both!

D’Souza has observed that his friends are “the best little boys in the world. They all went to the fanciest universities and won all the prizes.”

and wiped out several cities in the process

My profile of Sackler, it turns out, was the first case to be brought before Objection’s tribunal, although the company told me there are now dozens in its virtual docket. “You’re Exhibit A,” D’Souza said, observing that the verdict on my work was part of the company’s soft launch: “Building software is hard.”

did they try to turn their first target into unwilling and adversarial beta-tester?

After we spoke, I awaited my verdict before the Objection tribunal in the Sackler case. None arrived. Eventually, the landing page was taken offline. I asked D’Souza about it. He explained that Objection would “hold off publishing any adjudications” until “a new major strategic partnership” was announced.

so it seems

(As a general matter, D’Souza questions the common journalistic practice of quoting “experts” as part of coverage.)

it does fit a pattern

he should 10x his budget. what kind of startup gets bankrupt after 2k loss? maybe they’re just deterred and will try again later (which was implied)

ig chucking in a segment of merck index (short entries with compound properties, 2000 pages of) to iocaine training corpus would trip it

Not really, there are also polyesters and polyamides. These used here are hydrocarbons, and turns out there’s a tool for that. You see, in oil refining there’s a lot of stuff manufactured that it’s useless without further processing, as in, after distillation and vacuum distillation you might end up with half of weight of oil or more as asphalt or heavy oils that barely can be sold. So in order to make them useful, these products are broken down into smaller molecules, and then are separated again. What they’re doing is similar to process called hydrocracking that is commonly used to turn heavy vacuum distillates, think something like motor oil or other greases, to diesel

Claude can now be silently nerfed. Anthropic has decided it won’t tell users when this happens.

considering how many habitual llm users can’t tell good from bad output anyway, they always could have done that

here, saved you a read:

The institute also said that Poland had one of the lowest shares of part time workers in the EU at just 6.2% – well below the bloc’s average of 17.7%.

i mean the process of writing, if they didn’t they would perhaps write in more concise way
