They have an entire library regarding their "due diligence" by the way

It's pre-ChatGPT, so people actually wrote all this out (they are reddit posts disguised as books)

Do not call me, father, do not seek me, Do not call me, do not wish me back.

We’re on a route uncharted, fire and blood erase our tracks. On we fly, on wings of thunder, never more to sheath our swords. All of us in battle fallen, not to be brought back by words.

Will there be a rendezvous? I know not. I only know we still must fight. We are sand grains in infinity, never to meet,never more see light.

Farewell then my son. Farewell then my conscience. My youth and my solace my one and my only.

And let this farewell be the end of a story, Of solitude vast and which none is more lonely. In which you remain,barred forever and ever, From light and from air,with your death pangs untold. Untold and unsoothed, not to be resurrected. Forever and ever, an 18 year old.

Farewell then, no trains ever come from those regions Unscheduled or scheduled, no aeroplanes fly there. Farewell then my son, for no miracles happen, As in this world dreams do not come true.

Farewell…

I will dream of you still as a baby, Treading the earth with little strong toes, The earth where already so many lie buried. This song to my son, is come to its close.

Son (Pavel Antokolsky, 1943)

I find Opus 4.6 tends to get a bit short with me if I keep asking for confirmation. It will end up giving me responses like "yes, so go do it". Which is a stark contrast to Anthropic LLMs previous behaviours of endlessly glazing me.

And it did end up helping me make a nice chicken dinner the other day, so thanks AI.

Now Windows 11 also pops up a scary security notification saying Windows Security found a problem, then when you click on it it tells you that you're not using OneDrive and you should turn that on immediately.

Having a fluent conversation with a "super smart" ai is no good to me when it's constantly gaslighting me and making stuff up.

ChatGPT is so verbose, it just spews out pages of useless babble. I'm not reading all that.

It's kind of curious that any topic on HN that involves China seems to devolve into how terrible and bad America is.

I have one of those PCs, but I have Linux running on it. Can I use the NPU for anything useful? It seems not at the moment (am using AMD)

Hey, I really like it. I lived on a canal boat for a few years, the map looks familiar. Except the tsunamis which I couldn't get past. Maybe some sharks and crocodiles would add some adventure. Sent this to my family who are living on a boat now.

That's pretty handy. I was having to use bash -c "vi myfile.txt" which was a bit annoying.

The early days of napster felt like that (with a diminished experience due to lower speed connections). Not to take anything away from your point.

Lots of domains have a locahost record set up. I used to think it was funny to use them for email forms when entering an email was required and the email validation would accept them. eg: to set the email to root@localhost.uu.net for example.

maybe, but their product is basically a reskinned version of that single program, it seems pretty clear they know what they are doing here.
