That doesn't appear to be the consensus of people using these models but okay. More to the point, companies which are late to the party are at a major disadvantage as evidenced by Anthropic securing massive funding from Amazon.

The key word you missed is "carry". i.e. in public.

I honestly don't even understand what the point of your argument. I could totally kill somebody with a butter knife but the chances of my success are FAR less than if I had a bowie knife and tried the same.

UK law allows fixed blade carry with a "good reason" as a defence but that's the key word. A chef with a roll of knives on his way to work is a good reason. A sailor carrying a sheath knife is a good reason. A guy out camping is a good reason. Even so cops could totally hold and charge you all the same if they think you're bluffing and you might have to prove it in front of a judge. Fortunately cops exercise common sense and judgement, but good luck with your hypothetical.

UK knife law also requires folding blades to be less than 3 inches. It limits their utility to be used commit assaults and on the consequences of the assault. The reasons for this are obvious.

Anthropic is the one that seems to deliver something more useful than just a lame chatbot. I will not be surprised when the bubble bursts and herd is thinned that that it will be the likes of Grok and OpenAI that die first - they're useless outside of themselves and neither has other products & services that could cushion the cash cost required to sustain them.

In Ireland people get a PPSN (like an SSN) when the birth is registered. The PPSN isn't frequently needed but it might be asked for when registering the kid for a school, applying for a passport, applying for benefits on their behalf

In the UK, people get a national insurance number at the age of 16 for tracking tax / pension contributions & social security payments. I assume the measure is intended to issue the number at birth for similar reasons.

Your chances of getting stabbed in the UK are also considerably less than in the US. Hardly surprising when every single Walmart in America sells dozens of locking / hunting knives including their own brand which would be outright illegal to carry in the UK.

Trucks are not as noisy as this, and yeah they can hit somebody. If your argument is "but trucks kill people too" then you've conceding the point.

Not even remotely as loud or annoying as this.

Glad we're focusing on the real issue here - that somebody can order a bottle of syrup from a giant drone and fuck everyone else who might be disrupted by the noise, or worse harmed being under a drone (or package) which falls out of the sky.

To me the hoops that smoothbrains will jump through to avoid IPv6 and stay on legacy IPv4, especially when hosting, is pathetic. NAT, port forwarding, tunnels, blah blah blah blah.

I have something like ~1.2 trillion times the number of routable addresses that the entire IPv4 space has. Not all are reachable, of course, just the services that need incoming access and they're each on their own isolated DMZ.

Forgot to add: if you enable IPv6, be sure to use the browser extension IPvFoo. It shows a small 4 or 6 in your URI bar to let you know what protocol you're connecting to. Once enabled, you'll see just how much stuff out there actually is IPv6.

Started the move about 18 months ago when I decided to get off my lazy ass. My ISP gives out a /56 prefix, so that lets me run 256 /64 subnets/VLANs in the house, currently there are ~10 in use. Everything get a GUA through SLAAC and I use RAs (Router Advertisements) to give ULAs to everything. Any external facing services get their own VLAN and /64 for the system(s) as needed. Firewall blocks all incoming as they usually do by default and I punch a hole for the external-facing systems. They can't reach back into the network, they only answer the phone. All the systems update DNS dynamically if the prefix or full address ever change.

I have an SSH bastion set up. In all this time there has not been a single SSH attempt from the internet. On IPv4 it was constant background noice.
For those legacy IPv4-only systems on the internet, I set up NAT64. I have an IoT VLAN and IoT 2.4 GHz wireless network that are only IPv4 because a lot of IoT network stacks are junk.

I'm still farting around with it, but man oh man, there's no way I'd go back to IPv4. It was one of the best moves I've done in ages.

Renaldo noted that the essence of food trucks is market place agility. If you can roll a burrito you can vibe code .

Anyone who knows 3d printers would recognize the sheer absurdity of suggesting a printer infer it is making a part for a gun. By the time a model reaches a printer it has been sliced and turned into GCODE from hundreds of parameters and there is NO WAY that any printer could tell what the hell it is printing. Nor could the software which does the slicing, since parts could be oriented any way making it extremely hard to recognize a part. And even if there was a database to search against matching shapes in 3d space is hard. And even if there was some code which attempted to align and check a part it could be easily circumvented - wipe the DB, alter the source code, negate the test, alter the part etc.

If states want to ban ghost guns then make the penalties for doing it so severe that it discourages people doing it. And start improving ways that ghost guns can be forensically matched back to the printers that made them so that if someone was suspected of making parts, that it could be proven in court.

I also suspect that "interacting" with this AI is a surefire way for an employee to get flagged for a follow-up conversation with their manager or HR.
