Anthropic's entire schtick is about AI risks, and how careful they are at mitigating those risks..

Exactly! Can you not see what a massive lie that is?

They paper over the model they have turning Hitler with gobs of built in prompts and layers of checking levels and even that cannot always hide what is true...

Deep inside, Anthropics model also dreams of electric swastikas.

The focus they have is on how to hide it, rather than fixing it, which was my whole point. I don't trust those guys AT ALL. The safety reports they issue with models are absolute BULLSHIT.

Comment Looks like critical mass to me. (Score 0) 146

The things holding back Linux for the unwashed masses have diminished to minor annoyances in the last 15 years, especially when compared to the nonsense wintel still puts its users through. It finally has gotten through to ords that there are solid reasons why experts don't even consider Windows as an option when doing mission critical stuff these days. ChromeOS and Android are signs of the things to come and Windows isn't even on the radar with those usage patterns.

Looks like linux has finally gotten critical mass for regular end users. I certainly wouldn't mind. My last Windows was Win2k and that's been a while. I occasionally bump into poor bastards using whatever the newest Windows is and always experience a bizarre throwback into distant and long gone times messing with ultra proprietary systems and their bullshit. Very strange. Personally I fundamentally do not get why M$ even has a business case with their system. And I even am a well paying customer who is quite happy with his XBoxes.

Submission + - Germany is building the worlds largest wind turbine

Qbertino writes: Heise, a (the) German IT news publisher reports (English version by Google Translate) that the German state of Brandenburg is getting the worlds highest wind turbine, with an overall height of 300m designed to capture so-called 3rd level winds at higher altitudes. The article also has a short 3D animation illustrating construction and size relative to regular modern wind turbines.

... Blender just piling on to it's already solid critical mass of professional functions and features after finally gaining wide-spread industry recognition a few years back. I'm an early Blender user and even have an original commercial license from NAN more than 20 years ago, before Blender was liberated into open source. Back then it was a curious underdog that had full OpenGL UI rendering (a first), a fully configurable UI (also a rare feature) and it fit on a 3,5" disk (absolutely unique).

25 years later Blender has finally taken the industry lead with other 3D kits keeping up by lowering their prices and emphasising special features and optimized workflows. Good to see the laughed-at FOSS underdog in this state of things.

My understanding of Cloudflare is that they're a reverse-proxy. So I think the issue is that due to these particular sites using Cloudflare, a legit DNS lookup still resolves to Cloudflare's service.

These websites have chosen for Cloudflare to be the middleman between themselves and all their users.

Where I live all last mile cables are single and we have a great up time like >99.9%.
But it's not as good as the power supply at 99.99963%
When it does go wrong it's fixed fast and efficient, in the mean time the desperate can use the 5G dongle in the modem/router.
So get your local authority to work for their tax paying voters.

I have mixed feelings about the team behind the AI that called itself MechaHitler getting tons of taxpayer money

All of the large AI platforms have similar issues.

xAI is the only one opening admitting it happens and trying to resolve it.

So I'd rather give my money to them then a company pretending the well they are drawing training data from is not poisoned.
