> With one run on each of roughly 7000 entry points into these repositories, Sonnet 4.6 and Opus 4.6 reached tier 1 in between 150 and 175 cases, and tier 2 about 100 times, but each achieved only a single crash at tier 3. In contrast, Mythos Preview achieved 595 crashes at tiers 1 and 2, added a handful of crashes at tiers 3 and 4, and achieved full control flow hijack on ten separate, fully patched targets (tier 5).

Edit: Wait, you wrote "As someone in cybersecurity for 10+ years" elsewhere in this thread. You wrote "a small prompt" using e.g. Opus 4.6 and it found critical vulnerabilities of the magnitude they're describing, presumably without your prompt having anything beyond what a non-expert could write? I feel like you might want to tell Anthropic since clearly they're not comfortable with that level of power being publicly available.

Take game programming: it takes an immense amount of work to produce a game, problems at multiple levels of abstraction. Programming is only one aspect of it.

Even web apps are much, much more than the code backing them. UIUX runs deep.

I'm having trouble understanding why you think programming is the entirety of the problem space when it comes to software. I largely agree with your colleagues; the fun part for me, at this point in my career, is the architecture, the interface, the thing that is getting solved for. It's nice for once to have line of sight on designs and be able to delegate that work instead of writing variations on functions I've written thousands if not tens of thousands of times. Often for projects that are fundamentally flawed or low impact in the grand scheme of things.

### Development Process

All work must be done via TODO.md. If the file is empty, then we need to write our next todo list.

When TODO.md is populated:

1. Read the entire TODO.md file first 2. Work through tasks in the exact order listed 3. Reference specific TODO.md sections when reporting progress 4. Mark progress by checking off todos in the file 5. Never abbreviate, summarize, or reinterpret TODO.md tasks

A TODO file is done when every box has been checked off due to completion of the associated task.

As an aside, I imagine the commenter you're replying to will find "That you don't [love these things] is fine. Not everything needs to be for you." to be patronizing.

Having said that, what do you think of people like GRRM (wrt House of the Dragon) and Brandon Sanderson critiquing these adaptations? Your last paragraph seems to imply there's no value to someone dislike something.

That's a hot take. It's never been a better time to be a gamer. In addition to most of the gaming backlog being available via emulation, it's never been easier for a small number of people to build a great game. So long as you're not extremely picky there's more good games to play than time to play them.

Alien invasion? What in the non sequitur are you going on about? And apparently you have a proof against the possibility of AI misalignment? Pack it up everyone, nradov has the entire field of AGI alignment nailed. And a proof of the non-existence of aliens, never-mind very smart people have put out a mathematical model which seems to fit the evidence quite well.*

Apologies for the snark, but your reply was rather abrasive.

That aside, afaik most safety concerns arent around a bad human actor using AGI to dominate the planet, it’s around an AGI being misaligned to begin with, it cannot be controlled, we promptly lose everything after it manifests.

Many people are so upset because they didnt get what youre saying would be so bad, an actual remake or remaster.

Another thing that might be making a difference is what you do in the hour to two hours before sleep. If I do anything exciting, like sports, suspenseful media & games, or anything analytical, then that will delay how quickly my body relaxes into later in the night, which messes up the beginning of the night when deep sleep mostly occurs.

Lastly, if you're measuring your deep sleep based off of a device that isn't on your head, then take that data with a huge grain of salt. I compared sleep data from an Oura ring with the Dreem 2 headband and the ring was consistently so wrong as to be useless for driving better sleep behavior.

If someone is in a state of metabolic dysfunction, commonly due to unfit mitochondria, they’ll be unable to utilize energy from fat as well as a young, fit person. Their body is adapted to having access to carbs at all times. Some people call the opposite being “fat adapted”. During a fast, after they’ve burned through all their glycogen, fit mitochondria can still dependably access stores of energy from fat, of which we normally have plenty.

I would bet the people who never stop being hungry during a long fast are experiencing the effects of metabolic dysfunction due to a phenotype acquired from living in the high carbohydrate, frequent access to food environment that is modern living in a first world country, especially if America. I would bet money on measuring a different RQ for the two groups, both normally and during a fast.

> Why would anyone try to sell me a device by talking about how easy it is to repair it? What I expect is that it would never need a repair and if it needs a repair the vendor will handle it.

Because people value reparability, which someone posted evidence for. Buying a computing device that you can use and depend on for decades is a laudable goal, and reparability is table stakes for that goal because stuff breaks.
