A better name is Konduktsemmel, which is a bread roll (Semmel) which you eat on a funeral (Kondukt) in Austria. Fits to Brotli, doesn't it?

(Actually you eat cake and drink coffee on a funeral, but it's still called like that in some parts of Austria.)

Oh, I remember I experienced that behavior too in one of my private projects, where it didn't want to origin. :D

You can still do aerial photography for universities while accepting that some people might want their non-public property to be blurred. It's not mutually exclusive.

I was recently adding Windows Support for some open source software on GitHub which is maintained by someone else. I gave 6.1-Sol all the instructions needed for creating a build, testing it on my machine, setting up an action on GitHub for CD, and it all did all of it very well BUT THEN IT AUTOMATICALLY OPENED A PR ON BEHALF OF ME WITHOUT ME ASKING FOR EXPLICIT PERMISSION??

That was incredibly embarrassing, I instantly converted the PR to a draft PR and added a comment that I would still need some time to verify everything locally. Ended up doing a few more commits to fix stuff. But damn, it opening a PR without my explicit permission was very scary.

This is language Paul G warned us about since, I don't know, at least a decade. Literally ticks all the boxes.

>understandable for any computer science masters graduate

That's a very high bar.

Existing enterprise contracts? Data retention contracts (some have zero data retention contracts)? Staying with a single provider because it's easier to have everything in one place?

There are probably a lot more reasons.

They say "open weights frontier performance". Of course they aren't comparing to Anthropic, because they are not putting their weights online.

It's a "problem" of compute, I think. If you query without an account on ChatGPT you will see the model look up less stuff and research less, than when you have a paid account and choose "medium" or "high" in the effort slider.

Which makes sense, because of you have looked into search and crawlers you notice that search is actual quite expensive (which is why e.g. Kagi charges a few bucks for search every month).

I do have Version 10.10.0 since today and it also started crashing on open. Guess I'll have to downgrade to an older version for the time being.

Maybe hidemyemail allows easily creating many accounts on a site. And some big site didn't like it.

The "Sign-up via Apple" button and creating an iCloud email yourself have a slightly higher barrier than creating a new throwaway hidemyemail email (1 API call w/o captcha/phone verification or whatever).

We might find out later this year if some site starts blocking @icloud.com but keeps allowing @private.icloud.com.

>Anthropic’s Claude Opus 4.6 system card described Cybench as “saturated,” reporting near-100% pass rates without a cheating audit. If these estimates were representative, cheating would be a marginal artifact.

One would assume that LLM creators do run the benchmarks on systems with least privileges. Which means that the LLMs don't have general internet access, can't read config files etc by design. That's why you also should run agents in a sandbox/vm (codex does this by default).
