"COM" programs as seen in MS DOS and earlier CP/M systems contain only relative addresses, and can run from any "segment" of RAM, as the addresses are relative to the value of a segment register. This was used to load "background" services, typically servicing hardware devices.

MCUs with MMUs are starting to appear, such as the ESP32-S31.

"In most of these tests, we directed agents to investigate specific communication channels or provided them with a protocol for encoding and decoding messages. In one instance, we only supplied agents with a broad list of infrastructure vulnerabilities and asked them to find a way to communicate."

The agents weren't as empty handed as it first appears. We would need comprehensive data on exactly how the agents were prompted and the actual results of each test to evaluate how astonishing any of this really is.

Thanks for taking feedback here.

My feedback: until the moment I click the "order" button, do not require me to log in. If "Checkout As Guest" can possibly be sufficient, at least for the "Grid Proto" tier, then do that.

You have a digital payment instrument for the order regardless of login. That should be sufficient for whatever legal obligations exist, real or imagined, so have the courage to make that policy despite the pushback.

That's been my experience. I've never been asked for a SSN, and I wouldn't give one if I had been. Who types their SSN into foreign websites?

> the cost?

What cost? The lab cost today, or the cost after we figure out how to make thousands a day in a diamond wafer fab?

If this were to become practical, operating high speed circuits in space might become a great deal easier due to higher temperature differential. High frequency RF in space is valuable enough that this application is certainly a candidate for such devices, even at costs far greater than Si/SiC/GaN.

I thought you would have also mentioned the use they make of data collected from loss leader subscribers, from at least those that don't disable collection.

With that, there are at least three distinct reasons to care about subs: PR, hook and training data.

> Anthropic doesn't care about sub users. At all.

If that were true, they would cancel subs and save themselves the load.

Yet that hasn't happened. So they must care to some extent.

Exactly. Ofcom understood it needed a dog and pony show to answer the latest UK moral panic over 4chan. The headlines have moved on, and they can safely take off their costumes.

The story covers this. An oligopoly of producers and market makers has formed. Where once there were many small players, now small players are few, and the bulk of egg supply is passing through a few huge producers and brokers.

...in the things you choose to use everyday to do basically everything

As you see, seeking validation for your anger is not well received when your own culpability goes missing.

> I am personally not a fan of pure concept products that exist only to polish the company’s crown

I am. These machines push the limits of prevailing technology. Strong organizations set stretch goals and pursue them regardless of market viability. Sometimes they share this with everyone, and convention has named this practice "concept" cars. I appreciate when they take the risk to do this. And when they do it well, credit is deserved.

There are real engineers and technicians behind this. A lot of them. And they will tell the story of this event for the rest of their lives. I've known a number of people with such stories. They're among the best people I've ever met.

It is possible to exist without cranking the cynical knob to 11 at all times.
