can you tell if you flip -1 and 1? or just the i and -i axis is special

I was thinking that in principle you could use intricate laser beam patterns to direct the construction of self-assembling molecular structures from existing atoms at interstellar distance, thus basically construct nano-bots that will construct a computer that then you can upload an AI into.

After you read all the fluff, the real purpose of this website is at the end of each article:

We’re a lean, fast-moving lab made up of some of the world’s most talented minds. We have an exciting roadmap of compute at MAI, with our next-generation GB200 cluster now operational. And we have an ambitious mission we truly believe in.

They outsourced production to China thinking that they can just do the marketing in US.

Now they learnt that Chinese can do marketing too.

there's an infinite amount of ways to delete a file. deny listing commands doesnt work.

python3 -c "import os; os.unlink('~/.bashrc')"

I do to. Except I can't be burnt since I start each claude in a separate VM.

I have a script which clones a VM from a base one and setups the agent and the code base inside.

I also mount read-only a few host directories with data.

I still have exfiltration/prompt injection risks, I'm looking at adding URL allow lists but it's not trivial - basically you need a HTTP proxy, since firewalls work on IPs, not URLs.

the most surprising thing is why they didn't change this terribly long and impossible to remember name which completely killed them after all these years

yes, yes, I know why it's named like that

your OS might have a built in dictation thing. Google for that and try it before online services.

I did a similar thing.

put an example in the prompt: this was the original Django file and this is the rewritten in SvelteKit version.

the ask it to convert another file using the example as a template.

you will need to add additional rules for stuff not covered by the example, after 2-3 conversions you'll have the most important rules.

or maybe fix a bad try of the agent and add it as a second example

so between 0 (good) and 100 (bad), what would be your gray score "badness/evilness" value for the following: Russia, US, China, EU

yes, i know, it's not a linear axis, it's multi-dimensional perspective thing. so do a PCA/projection and spit one number, according to your values/beliefs
