I once worked on AUD 450M banking project, the root password was kept in a kickstart file and unchanged, root SSH was allowed. The bank didn't care until I told the external security auditor who included it as part of their report.
> Opus 5.5 communicates more naturally than prior models. Early testers found its writing clearer and easier to follow, which addresses some of the common feedback we heard about Opus 5.
Thanks God. Opus 5 was a massive regression compared to Opus 4.8. People were spending tokens on fixing Opus-isms rather than actually doing work.
Yeah I wonder what real world feedback is though. I'm not taking anthropic's word for granted, after all they also deemed 5.0 the best ever when it came out.
I don't have much time to do checks so I'll just stay on 4.8 till feedback improves
I do (now) if you trust me: you can point Opus 5.5 at Opus 5 prose and it will happily unfuck it. This repo is private otherwise I’d send you a link to the PR.
> I do blame them, along with the rise of Java ...for convincing me to drop out of computer science and switch to Computational Math for my bachelors degree.
I avoided studying CS for this reason: I saw my girlfriend's Java textbooks and thought if I had to appreciate this, I wasn't cut out to be a programmer, and stuck to network engineering. Years later, after 'Gang of Four' style OOP started dying, I have some code in a new things people use here everyday.
'Echo chamber' is an odd thing to say. X has many center left and hard left accounts, they're not banned in the same "women can't be men" was during Woke 1.0.
The game has a cool moment where the hero defeats Loki's minion by pushing him into some water. Loki then spells his blood in the water, reviving and corrupting the minion.
You beat the minion, but to leave the area, you need to bathe in the same blood, and become corrupt like the monsters. You then return to your village, giant and powerful but no longer a person.
I'm disappointed the game didn't lean into that more. Loki says you will be rejected as inhuman by Odin, but Odin just lets you cross the rainbow bridge without even commenting on your
corruption. Also it doesn't show any reaction from the villagers.
I am imagining a company having just purchased a new datacenter and awaiting deployment of their model finding there is already a model running and they didn’t install it.
He wanted them deported for camping permanently in public spaces? If you think people have no choice to do that based on their race we both know who the racist is.
Is there already a law against camping in public spaces? Apply that law. Any treatment of groups other than according to the law (when the law itself makes no mention of a discriminating attribute) is racism/sexism/etc. One law for all right?
Are you under the impression that I am the co-founder of GNOME?
I was speaking to the conspiracy theory here, that the donations to Omarchy are just a passthrough to unsavory organizations.
It’s, at least, plausible to me for two reasons.
1. Omarchy is just a pre-configured Arch install and doesn’t require large donations for maintenance.
2. The donators (Lutke and Dell) are all Trump-adjacent or have expressed authoritarian views in the past. Lutke, for example, advocates stripping poor people of the right to vote and giving the rich more votes.
He has dehumanized minorities and alluded to using violence against them. I’m not interested in debating whether or not that’s fascist or not. It’s shitty behavior indicative of the modern far right.
The conspiracy theory is that these donations aren’t tech related but are dressed up to be. And that I find plausible given the behaviors of the modern right.
