Don't you think you have the absolute best reason to not be revealed right there?

Can you imagine what criminals the world over would do for a few percent of that money?

I think you give him too much credit. I don't think his "messaging strategy" has any design, nor is it a strategy. It's just Trump saying whatever shit bubbles to the top of what sometimes passes for a mind. And it's random and changes every four hours because he's random and changes what he believes every four hours. Or every four minutes.

I don't think he even "learned" to act like a reality show... I think this is just who he is and who he always has been, albeit with an added layer of growing dementia. He was moderately successful on reality TV not because he figured out how to be moderately successful on reality TV, but because his normal personality, style and complete lack of ethics, morality or consistency just happens to be perfect for reality TV.

That's the part that perplexes me. I can't say I have followed the Vision Pro that closely recently, but at least in the early days, it was very locked down. There are large parts of the system (sensors) that I understand are still not accessible to 3rd party apps. I remember reading several VR developers who were trying to port software from the Quest to AVP and simply couldn't.

To me it would have made sense to open it up entirely. Porn, video games, emulators, whatever!

Are you unsure what "agentic" means? Generically, agency means, more or less, being able to do things. An agentic AI program (ChatGPT in agentic mode, OpenClaw, Claude code) can take actions without being controlled by humans. This is also sometimes called an autonomous agent, but "agentic" has become the dominant term over last year or two.

If you were to try something like Claude code, for example, you would see that it can run shell commands, grep through a source tree, edit files, run git commands, compile, execute, review output, edit code, compile again, etc.

Your post is confused as it assumes that LLMs looking for security vulnerabilities are -- in your words -- "LLMs can unreliably find some defective code patterns if they are obvious enough. (Remember, they cannot do deduction, just statistical pattern recognition. Too much noise or too far from the template and they fail."

That is false. The LLM models in an agentic system are doing more than just looking for "defective code patterns."

LLMs can perform source code level analysis, but they can also, in agentic mode, run fuzzing tools, scan for open ports, write a custom program to attempt to fuzz or exploit an open port, review the output, modify the code to try again, compile, repeat, and so forth. Multiple instances of agentic AIs can do this for many hours and more.

As I've said multiple times before Gweihir, I really don't know if you're trolling or not. You've seemed at least somewhat informed before, so I'm really surprised you didn't know what agentic means, or what has been possible with these tools. ChatGPT agent mode has been out for about a year, and Claude code for a bit longer.

I'd want:
- Trivially replaceable battery. This means no glue, and ideally means a standardized battery approach to maximize chances of buying a replacement one down the line.
- Putting ports on a separate board than the CPU and ram and such. Physical damage comes to ports, especially charging ports. Having this delegated off board minimizes risk of having to replace something expensive.
- Replacable keyboard and screen. Again, at high risk of damage and should be replaceable
- Removable storage. If your mainboard does fail, smoothest if you can move your SSD over to the replacement main board.
- Commitment to consistent form factor. If 5 years down the line it breaks, I can accept if I can't get *exactly* the same board anymore, but it would be nice if I could just get a new generation board and replace it without letting perfectly adequate screen, keyboard, case go to waste.

So mostly Framework, Lenovo recently did a think with a Thinkpad also exhibiting most of these, except no indication of generation to generation consistency in parts.

On laptops like the ideapads, yes.

I have not seen a ThinkPad where they did this with the keyboard. The commenter was specifically talking about Thinkpad.

Note that this report might be based on perusing websites more than hands on evaluation.

That said, "Lenovo" laptops include the non-thinkpads, which tend to be *terrible* for repair-ability. For example, in many cases they don't consider the keyboard to be a part worthy of keeping replaceable without replacing half of the laptop, despite it being one of the most likely things for a user to break. You can get third-party parts that is just the keyboard, but you have to destroy a lot of plastic welds to even try, and there was never a design to put it really back together after you did that.

The Thinkpads tend to do pretty well, though increasingly the cpu and memory are "just part of the board now", but honestly that's just the direction of that industry in general. We are pushing physics, it's harder for us to do modular RAM at the speeds we want to interact with the RAM, LPCAMM is a thing, but even then you just have a single LPCAMM and it's less about 'repair' and more about being able to have different memory amounts by swapping the module out.

VisionOS 26.4 added support for foveated streaming. It wouldn't surprise me if Apple and Steam have been working together on this.

Then again, Apple's treatment of the Vision Pro perplexes me, so who knows what Apple is doing there...

Nice to know that Greg Kroah-Hartman doesn't know what's talking about--you should let him know that you've cracked that nut, since he is actively working on understanding the situation.

Couldn't find actual details on *which* models they looked at.

If you look at the non-ThinkPad Lenovo laptops... They are complete shit for repairability.

The ThinkPads on the other hand tend to be very very good.

But other issues make me wonder about their competency in writing the report. Notably they give Lenovo a "lobbying penalty" for being a member of a group that fights right to repair but gives Motorola a pass for not being in those groups.... Lenovo and Motorola are the same company, and they don't seem to realize that.

That is not an accurate statement. The current round of discussions are centered around projects that in large part are agentic. Source code analysis is only one of the detection methods that is being used.

Disregarding the furthest extreme radicals on any side of a philosophical debate may generally be a good thing! Though, to be fair, sometimes it is the radical extremists that drive things forawrd. Kind of like the Overton Window..

Look, it's not complicated. Disregard everything that Sam Altman says. Disregard both the furthest extremes of the "AGI is here and sentient" / "LLMs are Godlike!" and the "LLMs are trash that are not useful and aren't going to improve and are a passing fad" (gweihir). All of the above are not insightful.

Everything has changed. ChatGPT-3 was released in 2022. Everything HAS changed since then, and LLM technology and models have improved dramatically in the last 4 years. Why would you not expect statements like "that used to be true, but not anymore" to be problematic? Humans couldn't fly, until they we could. We couldn't visit the moon, until we could. Changing your baseline assumptions is part of human progress.

I think after this moronic attack, they now know they don't actually need nukes, at least not until the world loses its appetite for oil, or finds other sources that make Gulf state production irrelevant.

Also, even if this fallacious claim were true, it wouldn't actually support Arrogant-Bastard's claim, which wasn't about the state of AI now, but a claim about "intrinsic properties", meaning it would be true forever.
