Can someone build a classifier that will tell is which of these images was drawn with a living, dead, or (charitably) dissected specimen?

It’s not that hard to understand… in the cors threat model an attacker gets one your users to take an action on your site by visiting their site.

> the usual “MCP is dead, Skills forever” debate

Is that really a thing? Everything on the other side of the MCP boundary (at least how I'm using it) is deterministic and about 100x faster (not to mention safer) than inference.

Not sure what it is on the Apple Pay side but with FPLS it is/was basically your keys would be revoked and you would be ineligible to ever get new ones… so no content that requires DRM on iOS for the life of the company.

Actually you do. If you ask it to do something and it refuses you have to convince it or abandoned the tool for that task.

Did my Claude get permanently dumber today because I asked fable to assess my Fairplay integration?

One signficant difference this time is that they can rely on empathyless murder bots to quell riots instead human police.

Even if it was free, it sounds like it’s going to cost more than that to move and house these things

Terminating access and rotating passwords (if needed) while the person is in the meeting but has not yet found out they are being let go has been SOP for at least the last 20 years

But it’s not one bad apple. It’s one cop who stole someone’s laptop while arresting them and entire system that looked the other way and let the theft go unpunished.

It seems the issue is not the glasses users, but the people that the glasses users were having sex with. Did meta get their consent before redistributing this content?

These days even if you get to a “human” it might still be a chat bot running text to speech.

I think its worth noting that if you are paying for electricity Local LLM is NOT free. In most cases you will find that Haiku is cheaper, faster, and better than anything that will run on your local machine.

When they bumped the context size up to 1m tokens they made it much easier to blow through session limits quickly unless you manually compact or keep sessions short.

Yeah compared to the case in LA today where one person was awarded 3M for getting addicted to instagram. The verdict here seems about 4 orders of magnitude too small.

> Tom pulled up the tool’s specification on his diagnostic display. This was always the first step: read the spec, not the code. Clearly this writer has never felt the frustration of CC telling them a feature was never a part of the plan, because it overwrote the plan and then compacted.

This approach doesn't give access from the hypervisor to your private keys it gives access to other tenants to your private keys.

Back in 1960 us early detection systems mistook the moon for a massive nuclear first strike with 99.9% certainty. With a fully autonomous system the world would have burned.
