<p>The theory that they broadcast communication on a band near GPS in order to discourage jamming of their early warning system sounds likely. Flexing the ability to jam GPS is pointless, since it's obvious that any state actor who  has military satellites in orbit has considered this option or have the capability already. Therefore, the disruptions must either be regular tests of the capability, or just actual communication. Right?</p>

<p>This reads like the most blatant attempt yet to strip away our freedoms in the name of mass surveillance! If you wanted to use a VPN to bypass age verification in the EU, you wouldn't use an EU VPN in the first place!<p>They can't ban non-EU VPNs without setting up a Great Firewall of Europe, but maybe that is the goal now? Looking at Spain blocking all of Cloudflare doing football games, it definitely sets a dark precedent.</p>

<p>We know it's simple to detect someone's heartbeat from just colour changes of ones skin in a regular video taken with a phone camera. Wouldn't this be trivial with military level IR tech? Sounds way more likely than some amazing new top secret technology that is somehow filtering out every other magnetic field and can detect a heartbeat through mountains.</p>

<p>Just recently I've compiled my side-project Rust game engine to WASM and it runs beautifully in the browser, as well as SSH2 to have a fully featured SSH implementation in the browser over a websocket transport.<p>It can obviously do amazing things, but the expectation for it to do replace webdev frontend code was always a huge misconception. Though recent developments have made DOM access without a JavaScript translation layer possible, so that might change!<p>I'd say the hype is still very much alive.</p>

<p>That's why I'm so puzzled to why Composer doesn't work better when they have the ability to train it from scratch for their agent harness! Yet it still fails to apply edits, gets confused why it can't call some commands in its sandbox, the list goes on...</p>

<p>It definitely feels sufficient for questions and planning, but it is surprisingly lacking in the actual coding department once you go for edits that need changes in multiple files. Which is surprising considering they should have been able to train it on their own harness!</p>

<p>That's a hefty payday for a model that barely functions! Every time I run out of API credits and get kicked back to Composer 2 I feel like I'm better off just packing up for the rest of the month.<p>I feel like we're finally at a point where you don't have to constantly argue with and constantly babysit coding models, which makes it even more frustrating when you're suddenly forced to deal with one that ignores your instructions and gets stuck in thinking loops again.<p>I suspect it's the vast troves of training data rather than any tech that Cursor possesses that SpaceX is after...</p>

<p>Crypto has been an awful development in many ways, but I happily welcome it when it has made malware so much more benign to me. The last malware that affected me personally was a crypto miner worm, and the one before that was a crypto wallet stealer, neither of which affects me at all as I don't meddle with crypto.<p>I don't know the statistics, but it seems like it's way more profitable for the grifters to target other grifters instead of taking over my machines and extorting me. Or maybe I just got lucky.</p>

<p>I went on to install this, but it seems very US centric, which isn't apparent in anything else than the domain name. The maps only cover the US, you can only download English dumps of Wikipedia, etc.<p>It's not the biggest deal if you're proficient in English, but I wasn't even able to download the full dump of English Wikipedia as their hardcoded link to it just seems to return 404.<p>The Docker setup leaves much to be desired, as network names are hardcoded, and extension services are expected to be reachable over hardcoded port numbers, making it impossible to run behind a reverse proxy.<p>Going to give this another go in a couple of years when it has had some more time in the oven, but it still looks very promising!</p>

<p>From their video it just comes across as they stimulate different left/right neurons depending on where the enemy is on screen and then listen to some output that also says left/right. Shooting looks completely random, to be frank.<p>If you connected electrodes to two different fish, shocked them and interpreted twitching as intelligent output, fish could also play Doom. The interface is doing all the work.<p>It doesn't sound like the neurons have any concept of the game other than "left input means left output", which is a rather trivial result... It's effectively no different than the pong example.<p>They don't say anything on how much training is required for this to happen, or if there's any "learning" going on at all. The learning part is "next".</p>
