It's minesweeper, a decidedly non-AAA game, but mixed in with many tropes of AAA games: corny/unnecessary allusions to character histories, verbose tutorials, "cold open" with eyelids fluttering open, some random NPC offering a way to grind for currency. That kind of thing.

I think you were reading "... is science fiction" the wrong way out of two possible interpretations. I don't think "it's science fiction" meant "it's made up". I think it meant "it sounds like something you'd read in science fiction (except this time it's something that actually happened)".

iirc it's even invisible to veracrypt until it has your correct password in hand. The hidden volume headers are indistinguishable from random bytes (which Veracrypt fills the volume with on creation).

"Eight of the top..." seems useless to know though.
"Eight of the top ten" is very different from "eight of the top thousand".

Same. If the whole point is "people should be left alone to do what they want" then fine, but that should also include my right to think, "eh yeah, that's a bit weird".
And quite frankly, I think many people in the furry community enjoy being thought weird - for many it's sort of the point.

That matches my experience (also not a furry). But there's also a whole additional layer of offsec being (by definition) "doing things you're not supposed to be allowed to do", which has obvious parallels with people who enjoy breaking social norms. I think some people just get a rush from the "transgressive" nature of both circles.

... those who argue against adding it heard at some point "security through obscurity is not security" and never dug deeper.
Ironically, that makes them the exact type of person who would be successfully deterred by a layer of obscurity.

Aah my mistake. I had missed that ML had separate trigger behavior from cybersecurity/etc... Thanks.

I've seen this claim a few times, but when I triggered the guardrails in Claude Code, it clearly notified me that it had switched to a different model ("something something for security purposes...").
Are you using Fable in Claude Code or in the browser?

Round your "~15%" up to 20%, and you've just discovered the Pareto Princlple: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareto_principle, aka "The 80/20 rule".

That's super interesting! What sort of feedback? Anatomical feedback ("Uhh, that's not where arms go...") or drawing (like tips on shading etc...)?

Yeah, it was quite clear once I started reading the article. It just threw me for a loop as I read the title - Usually if I hear of grades "soaring" that's a _good_ thing.

Imagine an elementary school teacher told you that many of her students had failing grades, so she had implemented a new reading curriculum.
If she told you that afterwards the failing grades had "soared", it could easily be read either way:
- The (previously failing) grades had increased, so the program must be working very well.
- The percent of grades that count as failing had increased, so the program must actually be terrible.

What a terribly ambiguous title. "Failing grades soar after xyz" makes it sound like xyz has helped what were previously terrible, failing grades become good ones.

Is this deliberately borrowing from Herman Melvile's "Bartleby the Scrivener"? If so it might be worth mentioning, rather than just referring to it as "my short story", since it's a nearly identical retelling of it.
