McDonald's might be the largest restaurant chain in Italy but that doesn't really mean much given how many small restaurants the country has with high quality food.

I think you just answered your own question.

Edit: In DeepSWE Sol High scores the same as Fable High for ~1/3 of the cost.

This doesn't seem correct.

I think we've gotten to the point where the question can be asked looking back, not forward: think back to your childhood and how much things have changed since then? If you've lived long enough you can notice these things.

I used to have snow for weeks each winter in my city and now if I get 2-3 days of snow a year it's unusual. Extreme weather events where it rains in one day as much as in one month have become a recurring event to the point we're re-planning sewage systems around these things.

This doesn't seem novel in any way, given the amount of data available online you can already be targeted by fake bank texts, no need for the free wifi hotspot.

How would your banking credentials leak? Every banking app uses encryption. In fact, I'd wager every app uses encryption nowadays.

Why is something like ublock origin not enough for your needs? Is it more about the principle of not wanting to share any fingerprint across the Internet, or some specific tracking concern?

That 6% could be more than your profit margin, depending on what business you operate. There's nothing saying that fines can't keep coming if your behavior isn't corrected, it's not just one fine then they leave you alone.

The point of fines is to correct bad behavior, not to bankrupt businesses which create jobs.

I would, most of these cybersecurity models have not been made available to the public and the larger models have guardrails in place for certain cybersecurity tasks unless you've been specifically approved.

It sounds like you just need to correct the plan it lays out to avoid the regression? I'm just looking to debug with you, not defending the model. I've mostly used Opus 5 for code reviews & bugfixes.

I don't understand the need for the snarky comment, LLMs can run the test suite and avoid regressions.

Do you not have unit tests, or how does it introduce regressions? You can tell it how to run the test suite in CLAUDE.md

It's kind of a childish view of the world; The expectation is that all the "quality" people will rise up and fix the problems of the country, but my perspective is that the political class is just a reflection of the people, so the existing idiots will just be replaced by new idiots, unless you raise the average somehow.

It's not meant to. That's why Ukraine receives the support it does, because they take the brunt of it.
