i’m curious: what makes it a mastodon clone over a twitter clone?

he’s still got a big heart on the inside

it was about letting the students collectively set their own punishments and self-govern their behavior to shut down the possibility of authoritarian abuse. anarchists have been exploring this idea for centuries

no it’s the way to put authoritarians out of power

it’s basically anarchism actually

get told they are supposed to be the better than the others

better than those not at Princeton, not better than others at Princeton nor to the point of sabotage. in fact anecdotally they get told that even though they were probably top of their high school class they would be average or even low-performing, and will have Princeton’s full support in managing the transition, especially the mental preparation for “mediocrity”

a culture of immense pressure and a zero sum game where collaboration between students is unthinkable

making sure your friends are working honestly doesn’t have to be competition. i don’t like the implication that collaboration has to be conspiring to cheat against some authoritarian figure, instead of making sure all of your friends succeed.

Another researcher, Davi Ottenheimer, pointed out that the security section (Section 3, pages 47-53) of Anthropic’s 244-page documentation “contains no count of zero-days at all. With no CVE list, no CVSS distribution, no severity bucket, no disclosure timeline, no vendor-confirmed-novel table, no false-positive rate.”

excerpts from the summary of the post linked in “Devanash ultimately concluded”, a lot of which Register repeats (which I think is a good thing since the copyediting makes the language a lot more accessible and wide-reaching and of course it was credited):

The bugs are real. 17-year-old FreeBSD RCE, 23-year-old Linux kernel heap overflow, 27-year-old OpenBSD TCP flaw. LLMs catch these because they can reason about the gap between what code does and what the developer intended. Fuzzers and static analysis literally cannot do this.

The coverage is wrong on almost every detail. The “181 Firefox exploits” ran with the browser sandbox ( yes, the thing that stops browser exploits) off. The FreeBSD exploit transcript shows substantial human guidance, not autonomy. The “thousands of severe vulnerabilities” extrapolates from 198 manually reviewed reports. The Linux kernel bug was found by Opus 4.6, the public model, not Mythos.

The moat is thinner than anyone reported. AISLE tested eight models including a 3.6B model at $0.11/M tokens. All eight found the FreeBSD bug. Mythos’s actual lead is in multi-step exploit development, not detection. That’s a narrower and more replicable advantage than what’s being sold.

that infamous Ctrl+Alt+Del strip was drawn up for a reason

It is estimated that as many as 26% of all pregnancies end in miscarriage and up to 10% of clinically recognized pregnancies.

It’s not just about digital privacy. It never talks about data privacy. It’s about consumer protection and social media’s nature being harmful. The only European law violations mentioned are anti-scamming + “𝕏 refuses to make its public data available to researchers”. It’s also explicitly in favor of KOSA, which lets the FTC ban anything it wants from children’s eyes online. It’s quite implied that the article supports banning social media for youth.

Is comparing social media to a dangerous drug over the top? Not according to the U.S. Surgeon General’s office, which in 2023 released an advisory titled “Social Media and Youth Mental Health” (download it now before RFK Jr. suppresses it!), which summarized extensive evidence of mental health damage to children and adolescents who consume excessive amounts of social media.

Okay, that comparison’s still wayyyy over-the-top.

You are not insulated from the effects just because you don’t use it. If you use the internet, chances are you’ve read bot output.

They teach it in the European History course and schools in the UK teach it. I find it quite plausible that mandatory education does not teach something with no relation to the USA.

the inclusion of nothing phone in the lineup makes me unsure what op is looking for so i just assumed they was looking for general phone recommendations lol

the xiaomi 17 pro is getting a lot of hype for its display on the back, and this is the company well known for emulating an apple feel quite well on android… and being Chinese

nothing phone: are you aware that the nothing phone 3 got rid of the glyph interface?

i’m surprised that the fediverse manifestation here has not recommended the fairphone yet

I’m sorry, who the heck made the PRC stars white‽
