Loved that game...and there is definite potential here. It seems like a player can just move right next to opponent and fire? That doesn't seem right?

t/s maybe? IDK, because their token speed comparison was against Sonnet 5.

Yeah, I did kind of feel like the step down from Opus 5.5 was so large as to never make it appealing.

*"Forget the map, just tell me if I should get off the Eisenhower Expressway and take Roosevelt, Madison, or Lake back home?"

I'm driving some place new, but of course, I first have to go through all my neighborhood streets to the freeway, and then later, eventually, something unfamiliar. I call up Google maps and it calls out all the play by play turns and such, starting from my house, instead of just saying get on the I5 North for 70 miles, then shuts up until I am close to the unfamiliar exit. It's why I mute it, I hate the blow by blow through familiar territory. Google knows where I go, God damn them, why don't they use that information already?

So what is the way forward for Linux to have sandboxi g as strong as Android? Appimage everything? I know it's possible now hacking together things, but I mean by default and integrated.

University of California has licensed zoom accounts with privacy agreements. I install it in Linux. Now I will check if I can replicate this behavior. I am not sure if it is a violation of their agreement or not if they do, but I don't like it.

Anyone can level a charge of AI writing, but it's getting to the point that you must write sloppy to seem human. and never never write well with clear technical prose. It is getting to be just ridiculous McCarthyism.

Interesting. I admit I was largely going on what Mr. Harris said on the episode when responding to several posts.

I am no expert, but I think it is this: 1) We have few effective tools at monitoring alignment right now, and chain of thought is one of the more effective. 2) Monitoring latent space may be possible, but I do not think it is even close to being a solved problem, nor whether it is possible at scale and outside of controlled problem areas. 3) Finally, more recursion within latent space may complexify the latent representations, not simplify them.

It is still helpful I believe, but your point is well taken. The problem is that we have relatively few tools for monitoring alignment, and longer loops of processing that stay in latent space means less ability to monitor.

SubiculumCode — Wed, 09 Sep 2026 20:53:04 +0000

The major concern with looped transformers is that makes it more difficult to monitor model alignment. When more processing occurs within latent space without outputting text, that means less effective, frequent chain-of-thought monitoring, and the potential for greater un-monitored latent-space shenanigan.

SubiculumCode — Tue, 08 Sep 2026 19:59:44 +0000

Alpha Fold has continued to impact the field of protein networks, but I do hear that not every one of the deep learning biology models from Google/Deep Mind and others have made equivalent impact or had as lasting relevance in their respective domains..some have performed more poorly than other available models. I'd love to learn more about this, but this has mostly come from little snips of conversations here and there, in person and online, but I haven't seen anything comprehensive in terms of evaluating their impacts overall

So California wet year. We don't mind a good snow pack, but I've become increasingly worried about catastrophic flooding evens in Cali e.g. [1], and this does not ease those worries.
