Not quite sure how well you looked, but there are a bunch of deployment systems for HPC, Ansible or otherwise:

Isn’t it already the case?

Politicians are routinely ordered to surrender their communication to justice to audit what they do. Missing texts from Von Der Leyen is at the heart of Pfizer-gate after all.

I don’t really know what to think about this to be honest. I don’t think it’s entirely black and white and I find it surprisingly easy to play devil advocate.

Remember that the US government has an insane level of access to private communications via all the post 9/11 laws, how cosy it is with the main tech companies and we know they do a lot of these spying unofficially and with little oversight since Snowden.

Meanwhile, France is struggling with an unprecedented level of organised crime activity with the amount of violent crimes reaching worrying level. We are talking murders involving automatic weapons in broad daylight in the middle of the streets of France second largest city. Two weeks ago, the young brother of a famous anti-drug activist was murdered by a hitman while shopping.

There has been a huge increase in the quantity of cocaine being smuggled from South America triggering intense gang competition for the control of deal points and the mean in place to tackle the issue increasingly look vastly undersized. Limiting the discussion to it being authoritarian measure is refusing to acknowledge the very real challenge police currently face.

The burying of the lede here is insane. $5/$25 per MTok is a 3x price drop from Opus 4. At that price point, Opus stops being "the model you use for important things" and becomes actually viable for production workloads.

Also notable: they're claiming SOTA prompt injection resistance. The industry has largely given up on solving this problem through training alone, so if the numbers in the system card hold up under adversarial testing, that's legitimately significant for anyone deploying agents with tool access.

The "most aligned model" framing is doing a lot of heavy lifting though. Would love to see third-party red team results.

The real question I have after seeing the usage rug being pulled is what this costs and how usable this ACTUALLY is with a Claude Max 20x subscription. In practice, Opus is basically unusable by anyone paying enterprise-prices. And the modification of "usage" quotas has made the platform fundamentally unstable, and honestly, it left me personally feeling like I was cheated by Anthropic...

Please engage in good faith.

I asked you how you determined "Millions more tried them... and then desisted from treatment without major lifelong mental alterations"?"

I took that to mean you were confident 0 out of several million people had lifelong alterations.

Any other interpretation of what you meant would suggest you are not responding to anything I wrote and simply writing non sequitors.

It seems to me you said something indefensible (0 out of 1 million people had permanent damage, there is no possibility you have data to show this) and are now trying to change the subject to something less insane (the typical patient has no permanent harm?)

Since PSSD wasn't recognized until 2019 I know you are full of hot air in suggesting if these drugs caused unusual problems we'd know about it by now:

Two things:

1) Modern 2010s era "OSI Approved open source" is a meme built by hyperscalers to get free work, poach the efforts of others (Amazon makes hundreds of millions on Redis, Elasticsearch, etc.) and eliminate the threat of smaller players.

There are great things like Linux and Blender and ffmpeg. But there is also a concerted battle waged by trillion dollar companies against us using "open" to salt the field of any kind of economic growth salient.

By being completely open and not keeping some leverage, you ensure you cannot make the same revenues the big companies can. And they will outspend and outgrow you. They will encircle and even find a way to grow off of your labor while you don't see so much as a dime.

2) You wouldn't be on the internet right now if you really refused to use closed source. The binary blobs in your hardware, your ISP, your wifi. Not even Stallman can do it.

I love open source. But I hate how difficult it is to make money. And I hate how the big players have used it to enrich and entrench themselves by making it just the crust of their closed source empires.

It's not clear what they mean by that in the threats they've made in multiple places but it's clearly a threat, and they're already lying about us. Therefore, we're leaving France including leaving OVH and not hiring people in France without them relocating first. Our most sensitive infrastructure is local but we don't want a state taking over our website and network services. We don't trust France and OVH to respect rule of law and human rights at this point. It's not a safe country for open source privacy projects and French companies cannot be trusted to even host a static website without hijacking it for French law enforcement.

French law enforcement is conflating companies making products with GrapheneOS code with GrapheneOS itself. They're presenting it as if those companies are working with us and that we're responsible for their actions selling devices using our code. Most of those are using forks of GrapheneOS with features we don't have which are repeatedly incorrectly referred to as being GrapheneOS features. GrapheneOS users can read the many articles and see many references to non-existent features. They similarly refer to non-existent distribution methods and marketing which are actually about these products they're conflating with us. Since they're conflating products and actions by other people with ours, that makes their threats very concerning.

GrapheneOS doesn't even currently bundle an end-to-end encrypted messaging app as we don't have our own and leave choosing third party apps up to users. We plan to make an RCS app with MLS to replace people using Google Messages via sandboxed Google Play but that's no different than what Apple and Google are working towards providing earlier. Even if Chat Control was already the law, we don't have Signal or a similar app bundled with the OS and don't currently distribute a hardened build via our App Store despite plans for it. We do distribute the sandboxed Play Store and Accrescent via our App Store which have end-to-end encrypted messaging apps available...

> You cant understand why the people with a monopoly on violence and force have higher scrutiny? -- @retr0rocket

Replying here to this seemingly flagged/dead comment (not sure why it was flagged - a very reasonable question).

I fully support higher scrutiny of public officials & cops, but this frankly isn't that. First & foremost, the problems you're describing are systemic, not individual. Monitoring a cop's phone isn't going to reduce police violence if the system isn't accountable - this is essentially the "bad apple" argument. The entire system needs drastic reform: backdoors won't solve any real problems here.

Secondly, independently of the levels of reform needed, at an individual level we're talking workplace conduct, reporting, protocols & transparency -vs- dystopian privacy invasion. There's a very broad spectrum here long before we reach the need for extremes.

Lastly, you need to look at the systems doing the monitoring of politicians' & cops' phones in this hypothetical scenario: if those systems contain the same systemic corruptions (which they inevitably do), the entire argument for oversight is moot.

Cell Phone, upgrading is a waste, I only will get a new Cell if my current one stops working of I am forced to due to it will be disabled due to a Cell Network change. My next one will probably be a burner or hopefully the new FSF phone I heard about.

Laptops, PCs ? I am on 10 year old Laptop and that works just as good as any modern system. I do not use any Microsoft products so there is no need to upgrade. Plus, any new system will probably not work with my preferred OS for a couple of years, that means if I buy, I always buy used.

Thank you for your service. Also, one of the main issues from the outside seems to me to be the impedance mismatch between google's entire cloud business and the direct-to-dev type API access oAI and Anthropic have pioneered. So, there's always going to be some pain here. It would be realllyy nice if that pain were incurred internally at the mothership, both for Dev UX and for sales. But so far, it looks to me like it's being spread out internally and externally.

That is also a solution. But the part where you drop everything to immediately document this, and then involve someone else on the team to write more documentation is the exact constraint I was trying to demonstrate. This bug is out of your and your team’s current context. It is low priority. A workaround reply is appropriate here and may have already been sent to the customer by tech support but it is also entirely appropriate to wait a few weeks to complete even what you stated if it is going to affect the company’s bottom line to do it sooner.

Ok, we've merged the (relevant) comments thither. Thanks!

Edit: Here's a bit of explanation for those curious. Even though the links are different, the test we use for whether to merge threads is whether they are substantially the same story vs. whether the two links will lead to substantially different discussion. In this case it's clear that it's the same discussion, so I merged them.

Since the second link has additional information, I've added it to the toptext of the original post. That way people can look at both.

My testing of Gemini 3 Pro in Cursor yielded mixed results. Sometimes it's phenomenal. At other times I either get the "provider overloaded" message (after like 5 mins or whatever the timeout is), or the model's internal monologue starts spilling out to the chat window, which becomes really messy and unreadable. It'll do things like:

>> I'll execute.

>> I'll execute.

>> Wait, what if...?

>> I'll execute.

Suffice it to say I've switched back to Sonnet as my daily driver. Excited to give Opus a try.

To me this is asking the question of "what's the safest way to drink from a polluted river".

The answer is really, don't.

NPM and the JS eco-system has really gone down a path of zero security and they're paying the price for it.

If you really need libraries from NPM and whatnot, vendorize them so you're relying on known-safe files and don't arbitrarily update them without re-verification.

Then say "Pebble Watch Software written by Core Devices Is Now 100% Open Source", or "Pebble mobile app open sourced" (that seems to be the major actual change?), or something like that. The thing they've actually done should be commended, but that doesn't mean ignoring that they've chosen to make a claim in the headline that isn't actually true.
by StopDisinfo910 | 2025-11-24 19:19:44+00:00
There is no law allowing the police to do that in France so that can’t be what cooperation means.

In the case of Telegram, it was about providing meta data when subpoenaed and moderating the unencrypted part of the application.

There is little reason to believe it is about anything else here.

Edit: Happy to hear what the people downvoting actually disagree about as usual. At the moment I have read a ton of mud thrown of France here - including someone from GrapheneOS implying they won’t hire from France unless someone relocate which must one of the most hilarious take I have ever read coming from someone from North America - with very little actually substantial shared, which, to be fair, seems to be becoming the norm here.

I don’t know the details of the Rust port but I don’t imagine the part that involves the two bits to require unsafe, other than in the ways that any locking algorithm dances with unsafety in Rust (ownership relies on locking algorithms being correct)

Don't love the scare title, but particularly don't love the inclusion of "Android TV," which has gone back-and-forth with "Google TV" as the brand name for Google's smart TV experience. (Even Wikipedia has a hard time following the chronology: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_TV_(operating_system), https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_TV#Google_TV_interface)

The title makes it sound like the TV you bought at Best Buy might be part of a botnet. The article is about some drop-shipped piracy-box.

My experience while working in consulting - 1-2 dev, 2 testers, 2 analysts, subject matter expert, scrumbag, product owner, platform owner, designer but she’s always very busy, and some other people that rhyme with management. So about 10 people managing 1 persons work which in principle I’m fine with, except you need to sit just insane amount of meetings and meeting with more than 2 people is horribly exhausting for me.

1. China

2. Russia

3. Iran

4. North Korea

Thank you for the clarification, sir. I wish that they had run that original Cloudflare blog post by you, especially this particular paragraph:

> Now that Workers supports both serving static assets and server-side rendering, you should *start with Workers*. Cloudflare Pages will continue to be supported, but, going forward, all of our investment, optimizations, and feature work will be dedicated to improving Workers. We aim to make Workers the best platform for building full-stack apps, building upon your feedback of what went well with Pages and what we could improve.

... which sounds (at least to me) more like an “either/or” situation, and a “Pages-is-going-into-maintenance mode” situation, than your answer suggests. But perhaps that’s just how I took it.

It's a fair question. No, no desire to curb anything because of who is going to do the curbing. Any regulating entity (government or private) will use subjective judgement and will invariably devolve into censorship. The concern of course is that humans as a crowd are dumb, but on the other hand I think you give individuals too little credit. A smart person won't get his/her political views from random X posts.

The problem is that most americans do not know first hand how the real censorship looks like. In the context of the previous discussion in that thread, chinese and russian firewalls block any discussion of gay rights issues. Do you think the US will be any different? We are all humans with the same deficiencies. Any "firewall", however it is implemented, will be a double edged sword that will eventually start cutting one way, and you won't like the result.

To sum it up, yes, it's the least of all evils.

If you would like to deride the answer, I assure you I am quite immune to the effort.

> fast scrolling works also

Grokking efficient navigation within Emacs buffers completely removed the necessity for scrolling for me - most of the time it's all about finding specific content - using consult-line, imenu, various jump methods, ex-commands, etc. - there are so many different tools in Emacs to rapidly move around, it makes scrolling feel like useless fiddling, not efficiency.

Mouse is nice for operations that don't require exact precisioning - like resizing windows in your WM, or another cool albeit pretty rare and gimmicky use for it is setting mouse clicks for multiple-cursor selection - feels like shooting lasers in a video-game, i.e.,

(global-set-key (kbd "C-s-<mouse-1>") 'mc/add-cursor-on-click)

Selecting regions of text with mouse? Why, if vim-navigation lets me quickly grab: anything between things - parens, brackets, quotes, etc.; anything including those things; anything up to the char; including the char; until some text; backwards up to the text, etc.

With expreg (expand-region) I can quickly expand and contract my selection - it's so smart - it first selects the word, then line, then sentence, then paragraph - similarly it expands/contracts structurally for code, it understands org-mode, yaml, markdown and Lisp structure. After developing the muscle memory for these things, selecting and moving text with the mouse feels so crude and annoyingly inaccurate. Makes me feel sorry for the vscode kiddos to be honest.

Why do they always cut off 70% of the y-axis? Sure it exaggerates the differences, but... it exaggerates the differences.

And they left Haiku out of most of the comparisons! That's the most interesting model for me. Because for some tasks it's fine. And it's still not clear to me which ones those are.

Because in my experience, Haiku sits at this weird middle point where, if you have a well defined task, you can use a smaller/faster/cheaper model than Haiku, and if you don't, then you need to reach for a bigger/slower/costlier model than Haiku.

The main issues are too much info crammed into the headline and too many meaningless words as well. If he wants to add more info pre-click he could put it in a subhead/summary sentence while simplifying the headline. But some of this is basic editing, you don't need to say "AWS announced a commitment to" when you can just say "AWS will". "Shopping research feature" is just a different way of saying "personalized buyer's guide", you don't need both. Etc etc.

This is the definition of capitalism. The system is set up this way. Of course as a human you're not completely embodied by the system and you clearly have beliefs and philosophies different from the "system".

But you cannot deny that you as an individual are HEAVILY influenced by the system can culture you live in. Status is equated to those who have the most money. Regardless of yourself as an individual, in aggregate this is how people behave and a good basic universal model that predicts behavior. But additionally outside of culture, the logistical reality of the society we live in is that money is the basis of survival. All of our morals and philosophies are thrown out the window the minute when we are poor or if we have no money and we do need money to buy food to eat. So money and business is not only a status thing but it forms the basis of survival as well.

This is not about your beliefs or morality. This is about the practical reality. In addition to this, capitalism so far is the the only known effective system to create modern economies of scale. We tried to make things fair, ideal and utopian with communism, but, practically speaking, we haven't seen it work.
by IgorPartola | 2025-11-24 19:23:45+00:00
Yes exactly. Any non-critical out of current scope bug must be evaluated for whether it should interrupt the current work. Is it a priority? You cannot automate this process by saying “if is_bug: return {priority: IMMEDIATE}” as suggested by the quote about id above, because you will absolutely destroy any velocity. In fact that quote seems to me to be talking about not committing new code with known bugs, not dropping everything as soon as a non-critical bug is discovered in old code.

Instead you need to have a triage process and a planning process, which to some degree most software teams do. The problem is that most of these processes do not have a rigid way of dealing with really old low priority bugs. A bug fix week is one option for addressing that need.

This is gonna be game-changing for the next 2-4 weeks before they nerf the model.

Then for the next 2-3 months people complaining about the degradation will be labeled “skill issue”.

Then a sacrificial Anthropic engineer will “discover” a couple obscure bugs that “in some cases” might have lead to less than optimal performance. Still largely a user skill issue though.

Then a couple months later they’ll release Opus 4.7 and go through the cycle again.

My allegiance to these companies is now measured in nerf cycles.

I’m a nerf cycle customer.
by vunderba | 2025-11-24 19:25:03+00:00
Anecdotally, I kind of compare the quality of Sonnet 4.5 to that of a chess engine: it performs better when given more time to search deeper into the tree of possible moves (more plies). So when Anthropic is under peak load I think some degradation is to be expected. I just wish Claude Code had a "Signal Peak" so that I could schedule more challenging tasks for a time when its not under high demand.

It is interesting that most of our modes of interaction with AI is still just textboxes. The only big UX change in that the last three years has been the introduction of the Claude Code / OpenAI Codex tools. They feel amazing to use, like you're working with another independent mind.

I am curious what the user interfaces of AI in the future will be, I think whoever can crack that will create immense value.

I did my masters in GaTech OMSCS (Chatgpt came out at the very end of my last semester). Tests were done with cameras on and it was recorded and then they were watched I think by TAs. Homework was done with automated checking and a plagiarism checker. Do you need to have in person proctoring via test centers or libraries? Video chats with professors? I am not sure. Projects are importants, but maybe they need to become a minority of grades and more being based on theory to circumvent AI?
