get told they are supposed to be the better than the others

better than those not at Princeton, not better than others at Princeton nor to the point of sabotage. in fact anecdotally they get told that even though they were probably top of their high school class they would be average or even low-performing, and will have Princeton’s full support in managing the transition, especially the mental preparation for “mediocrity”

a culture of immense pressure and a zero sum game where collaboration between students is unthinkable

making sure your friends are working honestly doesn’t have to be competition. i don’t like the implication that collaboration has to be conspiring to cheat against some authoritarian figure, instead of making sure all of your friends succeed.

i’ve never seen any comment with more than two flags that weren’t supposed to be removed, though

well what you said after zir reply didn’t demonstrate any of that

that you write things i’m trying to understand the relevance of, like “This information wasn’t provided in the post.” and “the first comment points to btrfs”. The Reddit link you gave also points towards btrfs as well as very undetailed mentions of zfs. ze says “i’ve tried btrfs and it doesn’t work so i’m looking into zfs”, and you reply “use btrfs use btrfs or look into zfs”, a message whose helpfulness I struggle to understand.

the device I’m testing first is too small for btrfs

Another researcher, Davi Ottenheimer, pointed out that the security section (Section 3, pages 47-53) of Anthropic’s 244-page documentation “contains no count of zero-days at all. With no CVE list, no CVSS distribution, no severity bucket, no disclosure timeline, no vendor-confirmed-novel table, no false-positive rate.”

excerpts from the summary of the post linked in “Devanash ultimately concluded”, a lot of which Register repeats (which I think is a good thing since the copyediting makes the language a lot more accessible and wide-reaching and of course it was credited):

The bugs are real. 17-year-old FreeBSD RCE, 23-year-old Linux kernel heap overflow, 27-year-old OpenBSD TCP flaw. LLMs catch these because they can reason about the gap between what code does and what the developer intended. Fuzzers and static analysis literally cannot do this.

The coverage is wrong on almost every detail. The “181 Firefox exploits” ran with the browser sandbox ( yes, the thing that stops browser exploits) off. The FreeBSD exploit transcript shows substantial human guidance, not autonomy. The “thousands of severe vulnerabilities” extrapolates from 198 manually reviewed reports. The Linux kernel bug was found by Opus 4.6, the public model, not Mythos.

The moat is thinner than anyone reported. AISLE tested eight models including a 3.6B model at $0.11/M tokens. All eight found the FreeBSD bug. Mythos’s actual lead is in multi-step exploit development, not detection. That’s a narrower and more replicable advantage than what’s being sold.

from my anarchist perspective every left-🪽policy can have a right-🪽 rationale

protestants, including evangelicals, are not catholics and do not follow the pope

According to a 2024 Gallup survey, approximately 69% of the U.S. population—about 235 million out of 340 million people—identify as Christian.[1] A plurality of Americans identify as Protestant (45%), followed by Catholics (22%). Smaller Christian groups include members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (1.5%), Eastern Orthodox Christians (0.5%), and other Christian denominations (0.4%).[1]

Yandex is Russia’s Google, sold in 2024 to Russian oligarchs with close state ties, so I’d say it’s justified to criticize this particular sponsorship business

It seems to have the added benefit of being an added barrier to market entry for their competitors.

I’m fairly sure the regulations only kick in when the service has something millions monthly active users.

that also annoyed me

(tangentially: 50.5 years ago, Oliver Sipple had saved President Ford by tackling his assassin Sara Jane Moore. He was promptly outed as gay.)

hourly CN air quality map, unit is µg/m³: https://www.air-level.com/

reuters says “The WHO considers PM2.5 concentrations above 50 micrograms per cubic metre “severe” air pollution.” but I couldn’t actually find that in WHO global air quality guidelines or anywhere else. china considers >500 µg/m³ “severe” (严重) and everything on the map would be below that

dated 25 Feb, 2025. so did they?

well you no longer have to do the off-label calculation

could you link it? the flynn effect is that average intelligence has been steadily rising ever since IQ tests were introduced faster than could be explained by genetic variation

the average intelligence used to fall?

that infamous Ctrl+Alt+Del strip was drawn up for a reason
