I didn't mean that the 10.0 finder was a reskinned NeXT GUI file management application (as you point out, it clearly wasn't and was a huge thing that had a bunch of heritage code), but that the entire 10.0 GUI was a kinda-MacOS-9-like GUI on top of the NeXT bsd-heritage unix-like base. If you were to take a 10.0 system and put it side by side for comparison with the CLI environment perspective, file tree, system libraries with the last NeXTSTEP releases or rhapsody.

Abliterated gguf of glm5.3 size and capability class models and similar are widely available for download, or the methods to produce them yourself from open weights safetensors files is also available.

The same AI that can be used to find exploits in things can be used in an internal adversarial way to self-audit your code before you put it into production or expose it to the world. This will have to become the new normal.

Or trigger the built in protection against abusing Claude.

It would have been a disaster, BeOS was significantly different from a NeXT/BSD-like unix type base that made it relatively easy for software to be developed on MacOS in the 10.0 to 10.4 era. Early versions of MacOS X like 10.0 were clearly just an evolved NeXT with a cute MacOS finder like skin on top.

If you really want to see magic, take a test sample of YUV420 video and AV1 encode it to an extremely low bitrate at like 720p, 24 fps to simulate something like the jerky handheld front-phone-cam in the example URL. Keep lowering the bitrate until the quality become unacceptable. Then compare it to the same bitrate/approx total file size in H264 and how bad it looks.

It would have been about 50x less annoying if whoever was driving the LLM had simply told it to make a clickable top of page index/headers in markdown and divide it into sections and subsections by logical topic.

"Haven't had enough yet of very junior engineers pasting wall-of-text from chatgpt at you in Slack? Come on down to the CVE announcement emporium, where we have a special treat for you today..."

The overlaid HTML popup on that page for "Try The World's First Agentic AI Hacker." tool is cancerous and annoying. This should really be a link to a more reputable link for the CVE in question.

It doesn't appear until you've read the page for maybe 10-15 seconds, so if you're not seeing it, just wait.

It even managed to get past ublock origin, since there's no specific rule for it yet.

There's many EU companies that want to have a contractual relationship with only another EU company and be absolutely assured that the models, the contents of the KV cache, any logging, all access control/credential systems, billing platform, etc are all hosted on EU-company owned hardware located in an EU jurisdiction.

There is a similar thing happening now on a smaller scale for Canadian companies that want to migrate off USA-based platforms for all sorts of SaaS and reasons.

> The Post is not exactly top notch journalism.

I'll go as far as to say it's a right wing agitation propaganda rag. But the story first appeared in the NY Times, as another commenter has linked here,, so it's possible that the story may be accurate (though undoubtedly the nypost has sensationalized it, as that's their specialty), but both things can be true simultaneously. The NY Post can be trash and this series of events might have really happened.

This is an incredibly inaccurate and uninformed description. Globalstar was a failure in the market because its satellite network is bent pipe and doesn't provide open ocean or polar or true global coverage. The second corporate incarnation of Iridium (that bought it out of the bankruptcy process) was wildly successful with maritime, aviation and DoD customers. Iridium had VASTLY more market share in portable LEO satellite terminal users and revenue at the time of this acquisition. Iridium grew its market to include embedded data modems like the Iridium SBD modems you find in Garmin Inreach and tons of other equipment.

The *ONLY VALUE* of Globalstar for an acquisition is its legacy spectrum allocation in a very valuable (sub 1.7 GHz, above 1.2 GHz) range. The technology was utter crap compared to Iridium and nobody who worked in two way satellite has taken it seriously since maybe 2002.

> I've always wondered why we haven't seen a broad architectural movement returning to highly ornate decorative facades

If you follow trends in USA single family detached home construction, the trend is rather the opposite direction. Extreme rises in inflation generally, price of vehicles, construction materials are sending house builders down paths of using the cheapest, shoddiest possible materials and then slapping a veneer of normalcy on top of it. The amount of MDF and oriented strand board in use is greater than it's ever been. Now they're going back to aluminum wiring, copper clad aluminum cat5e cable, and similar. You should see the horrific results of a framing inspection (pre-drywall) done by a professional, neutral and diligent inspector in the average single family home tract development these days.

Modern "Architecture" has taken the trends of the mid-late 1990s McManson to its ultimate extreme of building "luxury" housing that is in reality anything but. Just good enough to sell, then the shoddiness in construction and maintenance becomes somebody else's problem.
