Can someone build a classifier that will tell is which of these images was drawn with a living, dead, or (charitably) dissected specimen?

It’s not that hard to understand… in the cors threat model an attacker gets one your users to take an action on your site by visiting their site.

Is that really a thing? Everything on the other side of the MCP boundary (at least how I'm using it) is deterministic and about 100x faster (not to mention safer) than inference.

Not sure what it is on the Apple Pay side but with FPLS it is/was basically your keys would be revoked and you would be ineligible to ever get new ones… so no content that requires DRM on iOS for the life of the company.

Actually you do. If you ask it to do something and it refuses you have to convince it or abandoned the tool for that task.

Did my Claude get permanently dumber today because I asked fable to assess my Fairplay integration?

One signficant difference this time is that they can rely on empathyless murder bots to quell riots instead human police.

Even if it was free, it sounds like it’s going to cost more than that to move and house these things
Terminating access and rotating passwords (if needed) while the person is in the meeting but has not yet found out they are being let go has been SOP for at least the last 20 years
But it’s not one bad apple. It’s one cop who stole someone’s laptop while arresting them and entire system that looked the other way and let the theft go unpunished.
It seems the issue is not the glasses users, but the people that the glasses users were having sex with. Did meta get their consent before redistributing this content?
These days even if you get to a “human” it might still be a chat bot running text to speech.

I think its worth noting that if you are paying for electricity Local LLM is NOT free. In most cases you will find that Haiku is cheaper, faster, and better than anything that will run on your local machine.
When they bumped the context size up to 1m tokens they made it much easier to blow through session limits quickly unless you manually compact or keep sessions short.
This generation's internet worm?
Yeah compared to the case in LA today where one person was awarded 3M for getting addicted to instagram. The verdict here seems about 4 orders of magnitude too small.

> Tom pulled up the tool’s specification on his diagnostic display. This was always the first step: read the spec, not the code. Clearly this writer has never felt the frustration of CC telling them a feature was never a part of the plan, because it overwrote the plan and then compacted.

This approach doesn't give access from the hypervisor to your private keys it gives access to other tenants to your private keys.
Back in 1960 us early detection systems mistook the moon for a massive nuclear first strike with 99.9% certainty. With a fully autonomous system the world would have burned.

Not a big exactly but if pip doesn’t work it goes straight to pip —break-system instead of realizing it needs a venv

Also if a prisma migration fails it will say “this is dev it’s ok to erase the database” before rerunning the command with —accept-data-loss

You can play with the model for free in chat... but if $20 for a coding agent isn't effectively free for use case it might not be the right tool for you.

ETA: I've probably gotten 10k worth of junior dev time out of it this month.

Give Cluade Code a go. It still makes a lot stupid mistakes, but its a vastly different experience from pasting back and forth with chat gpt.
It is ridiculously easy to create an album with Suno and push it Spotify. I'm surprised its only 66% TBH

When we switched from x264 to hardware based encoders it saved something like 90% on our customers' power and cooling bills.

So while this essay might be "technically correct" in some very narrow sense the author is speaking with far more authority than they have the experience to justify, which is what makes it obnoxious in the first place.

You need to get someone out there. Just tell them over and over again its an outside wiring problem and demand they dispatch a tech. the tech will have different phone numbers with people that sort of know what they are doing. At least this worked before chat gpt ate the world.
