I am quite literally an expert in security and know the community quite well. Of course, there were some raised eyebrows to this, but that was about it. It’s the big company execs that are calling this the next big thing, because money. (The article basically reflects my opinion. There were some reputable and people quoted, but then there was Jeetu Patel (Cisco) going all weird with this. Frickin idiot.)

TBH, I have written off all the AI shills I knew in the industry. Sure, make a buck where you need to but goddamn, don’t turn full fucking evangelist.

Disclaimer: I am paid to be an expert in security for a day job, but I still think I can be an idiot with this stuff. Meh. It’s paid the bills for the last 20 years.

Most of this is just marketing crap from Anthropic.

Finding vulnerabilities in code and generating complex, multistep exploits with publicly available models is possible now. This biggest hurdles now is setting correct context and actually knowing what to look for. Any “guardrails” for this behavior are easily bypassed by framing the detection and exploit generation as a valid dev style question in the most difficult of situations.

They likely just trained a model without guardrails in this case.

What they are doing here is over-hyping a problem and framing it like they are the only ones with a solution. LLM security issues are more in-focus now that companies have dumped a ton of resources into building AI systems they don’t really understand.

Environmental impacts aside for a sec, that would be cool if Taiwan dropped a fab up in Canadia. Fortunately/Unfortunately, I am not sure if a fab is compatible with Canada, it’s climate or geo formations. Likely not.

Such a double-edged sword. There is a bunch of suck that comes attached to a fab, but from an economic and technology perspective it would be awesome.

(10/10, would rather see a fab managed somewhat responsibly in Canada rather than here in the US. I have no proof to go with that statement, but it seems logical.)

I want it to be a Lower Decks reference.

That pic looked too jpg’d to be real, but I found another source.

Not if they are both wrong.

This has always been a thing. The allure of unbelievable signing bonuses and the promise of a college education has been around for at least the last 40 years.

JROTC has the added benefit for the military of pre-bootcamp brainwashing. (Much to the dismay of many kids, the military isn’t all show drills and uber-patriotism.)

The money and college is real, but it comes with some really beefy strings attached.

Thank you for your service.

You should probably have your bot stop at a word count, not a letter count as to avoid unfortunate racial slang.

Confirmed or not, get better sources. Equipment damaged in a war is completely plausible and even inevitable. Propaganda is also inevitable, from either side of a conflict. In this case, an Indian source has proxied state news meant for Iranians.

Trying to sort out their mix of AI slop posts from legit unbiased news isn’t worth my time, even if the news is proxied by another source. (Indian news is generally shit as well, I just ignore that by default. If you actually want extreme sensationalized trash, then good on you.)

Tehran Times would probably also claim that they lead the world in women’s rights and free speech.

It’s probably just a rogue hemorrhoid that will just add more stress. Sorry.

I am a much smaller frame, 5’11 @ 180 lbs. When I quit drinking, I was up to 250lbs for a bit, but I just stopped eating as much and I lost the weight. Even when I got a belly a time or two before that, I never went on a diet: I adjusted my habits completely. (Or just drank more black coffee… Not a healthy option, but it was an option that suppressed hunger and got me out of the get-hungry-more-because-I-was-eating-more cycle.)

These days, I just run. Cardio can really suck ass at times, but it works wonders. Once you get into extended aerobic exercise, your body has to burn fat for energy at higher rates. (I am absolutely lacking on the anaerobic side of things except for the sprints I do every week.)

Big, small, tall or short, your body needs protein. It needs more protein when you work out. Whey protein is the “gold standard”, but usually because it’s effective and usually a good value. Hydrolyzed protein is easier for your body to take in because it’s (essentially) partially digested proteins. (It’s easier on my stomach as well, which is why I take it.)

I would speculate that your protein intake calculation is not going to be near what you think it will be, or even close to what the interwebs will tell you (it’s all weight based calculations) until you get your fat to muscle ratio closer to whatever a “normal” ratio is so take that into account.

You didn’t ask for any opinion of mine, so take this with a grain of salt. It’s just my thoughts on supplementation in general, but you do you.

My method for adjusting any system is to establish a stable baseline first, before all else. If the system is stabilizing or going through massive changes, tuning that system for performance is the last thing on my list.

Supplements didn’t make sense to me until I actually started to need them and had some kind of stable system to work with after months of learning to run again. By all means, supplement but supplement when it is measurably effective. (Protein powder is expensive for what it is, and you shouldn’t just literally piss it out if your body doesn’t need it.)

The only things that ever made sense to me were the dippers and Orion.

But, if all I had was booze, assorted natural drugs, the occasional orgy and a serious case of lead poisoning to keep me entertained, I would probably have some wicked pareidolia as well.

Nobody said anything about taking a shower.

Companies these days do what is right for their shareholders and if Claude makes money, or appears to make money, then the shareholders are happy.

You are supposed to eat the pie, not have someone rub it all over your bits, but you do you, friend. Far be it from me to kink-shame.

Who votes for the Supreme Leaders of North Korea? The prime minister?

Japan seems to be having more success: https://www.futura-sciences.com/en/this-new-japanese-weapon-can-neutralize-the-fastest-machine-ever-created_17488/

Still, the technical challenges are exactly the same. While I can’t find many more details, it being ship mounted is a significant step forward and it seems to imply that some of the more serious issues have been solved. (A demonstration is just a demonstration and anything other than it being able to hit a target ship is just speculation.)

A response that is actually in context: Considering how expensive it is to build a fab for a component as critical and delicate as RAM, there is incentive to perform proper QA for products released under the original brand. Having a fab fail because of reputation is not likely an option. Rebranding wouldn’t help as modules can be de-capped and the source vendor could still be identified.

The success or failure of this vendor is going to be how well they physically control their bottom tier bins and ensure that any waste product doesn’t get funneled back into the supply chain. With China specifically, it seems the incentives are much higher for that behavior. Again, if you doubt that, I can point you in the direction of thousands of bunk components.

As with any company that is state owned or state backed, the potential security risk is much higher. I am not just pointing directly at one country in this case. Some governments may pose higher risks than others though. (From a security perspective, you would want trojaned components to be as reliable as possible, TBH.)
