I do have to "uhhhh no, no no no" a fair bit with models.

Example scenarios where Claude was extremely stupid in the last days: 1) Arguing that a change that moved work into multiple Python processes made GIL contention worse because the total number of CPU-seconds spent waiting for the GIL had gone up.

I don't really understand how twitter works anymore because it's been years. Why is DHH on my "Following" timeline? No one seems to have retweeted him and I don't follow him.
This site seem so much worse. Everything feels broken.

@anton_chuvakin @unpromptedconf @gadievron I take it seriously. But I'm not panicking. I'm implementing mitigations. I think mitigations, when adopted, outpace attacks. They always have, people just don't use them.
English
@anton_chuvakin @unpromptedconf @gadievron People who care are already hedging by hardening. People who don't care wouldn't care anyways. Same old, right?
English
So why nobody (well, maybe <1%) care about the coming AI-powered vulnerability apocalypse? (ref @unpromptedconf vs #RSAC discussions, cc @gadievron ) #question

@AnnaCiaunica Perhaps I'll manage to find time for that this weekend. I'm very skeptical here that the commitment of co-embodiment is somehow more parsimonious than the numerous explanations for qualia under physicalism, but I suppose I'll just have to read!
English
@InsanityBit That’s actually the title of my PhD : Physicalism and qualia 🤪
English
Before you retweet this you should read it. It dismisses physicalism and functionalism without meaningful consideration and then poses a form of idealism. I think this is quite a serious commitment, even if you agree with the conclusion.

Short answer : NO Longer answer here : arxiv.org/abs/2601.21016 @erikjbekkers

@AnnaCiaunica Ah, a mere glimpse at your paper answers my two questions. I will indeed read this. Thank you.
English
@AnnaCiaunica I'll do so. The implication of your paper seems straightforward, however - it ties moral permissibility of termination to autopoietic status and rejects the property cognitive status. I think the conclusion simply follows.
I'll read more carefully if you disagree.
English
Essentially, under this framework, if you accept a fetus as a distinct autopoietic system, abortion is morally impermissible. This simply follows, but the authors dodge it every so slightly.
Read the words.
English
That is, their entire "it's wrong to do this to a being that conforms to X" trivially applies to a fetus. They explicitly reject cognitive capacity as a qualifier.
IMO this is just smuggling in anti-abortion without saying it, but perhaps the author would reject that.

I'll take this opportunity to remind you that `cargo-vet` is a thing, and it's amazing. You can literally say "Google, Mozilla, etc, have checked that this dependency is legit".

I have this + a Skill to review any exceptions.

Lack of mutation testing in Rust has always been a bummer (tbh it is such a rare treat in any language).
Could be huge, excited to check this out. Mutation testing + property testing are just orders of magnitude more effective than industry standard.

So far the only good part is getting to see Spender tweets to remind me of how fucking bad Linux upstream is, and somehow that's enough to actually get me to log in again this morning.
English
I've been "back" on twitter for a day and it seems like a mess. "For you" is absolutely dog shit. I've been told I need to pay money to retweet (????). And I just got blocked from replying to my own tweet (?????????).
wtf is this?
