To be sure this would mean Apple has to allow for 3p installs that have self signing keys that can let one gain visibility into the data of the app(in this case its in the sandboxes), yeah?

This is saying that speed running to a certain loss value has fallen off a cliff. Which is great for Greenhouse emissions.

100% with you on effort reduction. I was making closets at home and was doing pilot holes for attaching the back 1/4" plywood. I calculated I had to do 50 odd holes for all of them. Then i discovered the brad stapler gun(all electric) and I was done in 5 mins what would have taken an hour to get right with a jig.

Wood working projects get out of hand when you add a small feature. I cannot imaging what would happen if you had to do this with stone carving!

I have a noob "reverse" resin creation question. The product page says it has low VOC emissions. Could certain recyclables(e.g. 4,5 HDPE types) create the resin from my stuff at home with low VoC that I could use/sell etc?

My gut would say economically/technologically prohibitive but a low throughput table top recycler seems like a great way to reduce my recyclable garbage.

Whoa! This is insane. This is an insane arms race, fractal like craziness. Dynamic JS obfuscator libraries that are like honey pots: Lure LLM bots and determine if your obfuscation can make then drop the crawl attempt. So are now at RLing our obfuscators?

But I have a more abstract question: Are LLMs mass "codemoding" scraping attempt in their context windows to make this work _and_ worth the effort? It seems like it is to prevent a different thing than what Anubis does(which is preventing mass overloading of webservers).

So we are a value stock and a growth stock?

I asked his elsewhere but aren't there like a prepondeance of existing case law or amicus-briefs that would speak to the logical and historical stupidity of arguments by the plaintiffs?

Noob question: Isn't there like a panel of existing case law or amicus-briefs that would speak to the logical and historical stupidity of arguments by the plaintiffs? I mean this is like blaming airbus for hijackings.

Structurally speaking we learn nothing like AI, we don't use vast amounts of information to pick up completely new skills. We also make decisions by using prior knowledge and emotions.The latter part is important, Thinking fast and slow cannot operate in a world of AIs as they stand today unless we are willing to grant them rights — because you have to teach them to make decisions based on all kinds of emotions — which is tricky at best.

> The tool call is in the text

Noob question: do good harnesses automatically optimize for bad tool calling behavior automatically?

Google did make location history private in the maps app(delete on server side) at some point, if I recall correctly everyone can at the least opt in(i may be wrong and it may even be opt out!). I believe out of the exact concerns of warrantless sweep of all location data of all users around a lat long for server side storage by law enforcement.

It went under the radar but is a good example of _some_ incremental positive improvement over centralized storage.

Altman, Amodei, Pinchai etc can get together and just put a self imposed ban on themselves and ask the us government to sanction any entity/state attempting to use/release a Recursive Self improving model until the risks are well understood.

This does not mean they can't keep developing it. But it would mean they do not release them to the general public or the public domain. The US government can continue to use and fund these models that are more powerful and use them in situations they understand and a restricted setting. The pentagon has a larger budget than any VC.

Remove the profit motive on self improving recursive models gained from retail/commercial use!

I use pi+codex and OpenAI codex models do much less of this in my experience.

One thing i am curious about is if anyone who is fluent in a romance language(en/es/fr etc) but their native language was a non-romance one(e.g. japanese or hindi) felt it better using the latter exclusively?

Sure, but YC can enforce it if they want to. VC after all is a private body governed by private individuals, they can make moral choices. VCs could even support this by offering terms to offset the costs. I cannot believe that a company cannot be profitable but at the same time not build for at least some better privacy guarantees.
