Define crypto as share trading, and tax it accordingly.

"This isn't hard to look up"
Doesn't look it up, instead asks Elon Musk's shitty Nazi AI.

To be fair, if they don't advertise it, it's probably because it's a part of the silicon that they won't discard a CPU for if it doesn't work. Same with ECC support. Maybe it works 99% of the time, but if you get one in the 1% that failed, it's not a warranty issue.

Motherboard manufacturers and RAM manufacturers are the same. ECC works with Ryzen, but it's not officially supported so if your particular combo doesn't work, too bad I'm afraid.

Wow, that sounds like a fairly old laptop. Certainly pre Ryzen.

Presumably you can boot a CD, to install an OS. Or at least a floppy.

I wasn't suggesting that a failed rocket couldn't cause a Kessler event, I was saying that nobody has rockets that can safely de-orbit themselves in the event of a catastrophic failure. Hopefully it happens at low enough altitude for that to happen naturally, but if propulsion is lost or it disintegrates higher up, it can't really be helped.

Whether Anthropic was trying to hype about Mythos / Fable or not (and FYI, it is a pretty big leap forward), they absolutely did not want to get public access shut down. The US government very much seems to want to have exclusive access to it for now.

Also, to clarify the "jailbreak": They took open source projects that had known vulnerabilities, as well as deliberately introducing vulnerabilities into some other projects, then asked Fable to fix them, and then asked for test scripts to demonstrate that the exploits could no longer be exploited - the implication being that they could then use those exploits against unpatched systems. But what's the logic here? The challenge isn't "how to write exploits against known bugs", any model can do that. The challenge is finding the bugs - something Mythos / Fable has proven better than previous models at. Even if Fable refused to write said test scripts, it would automatically downgrade to Opus 4.8, and then *Opus* would have written those test scripts. Or any other model out there could do it, including free open source ones that can be safety-abliterated at will.

Not really to any extent more than in the US, for example. In some ways perhaps less so, e.g. there is no actual law requiring you to wear clothes and due to juries not convicting nudists it is a somewhat open question if you can walk down the road naked.

In this case the rocket failed on the way up, and there isn't much anyone can do about that.

Yes, it's been tested. The key is regenerated at each boot, so you can easily test buy simply writing a known pattern, rebooting, and seeing if it is still there.

It's not an absolute right anywhere, including the US. There are still state secrets, there is still conspiracy to commit crimes, there are always going to be consequences for triggering a panic that gets people hurt.

The UK does in theory have strong protections for freedom of expression, which covers writing and other mediums as well as speech. We get it from the European Convention on Human Rights. I wouldn't say it is well enforced, but it does in theory exist.

It's a bit more complicated than that, because although it wasn't advertised as a feature, it was well known that it was supported. ECC RAM support is another good example. A lot of people, myself included, bought Ryzen systems because they support ECC RAM and Intel doesn't on consumer hardware.

The fact that they kept it enabled and working for years, even unofficially, makes it something that consumers could reasonably expect not to be arbitrarily removed with a software update long after they bought the product.

You don't need liquid nitrogen, you just need to hit the reset button and boot Linux off a USB drive.

This could be mitigated by having the UEFI simply wipe memory early in the boot process, but very few manufacturers offer that feature.

Chrome is open source. There are a few limitations where binary blobs are needed for stuff like DRM, and forks can't use Google's servers for things like syncing, but that's pretty standard.

But how long will uBlock Origin still be around? The developer is now catering to 2% of users. Not just the extension developer, but the people maintaining all the rule lists too.

The other 98% are mostly on Chromium based browsers, which use uBlock Origin Lite. It's got some big limitations compared to the standard version, but it does still block a large percentage of ads and trackers. I can see all the effort going into that now.

To be fair, ad blockers work with too, just not as well a with other browsers. There are APIs for ad blocking, but they are more limited, and seemingly designed to be much more energy and CPU efficient.

And because most browsers are just Chrome skins, most of those will stop supporting Manifest V2 sooner or later too. Any promises to maintain it are probably not sustainable, due to the amount of engineering involved.
