Yeah exactly, every time I bring this up (yes I'm definitely fun at parties, why do you ask?) I struggle to remember the details of the story and then once I do recall it, observe how the person in telling it to is swiftly becoming more confused by the second haha
Ah thanks, I didn't find their paper but you lead me on the correct path to find some nice info on their blog! Great idea with the keys they had, it's good that we will be able to verify if their claims are true in the future at least. The bugs that were solved already did indeed seem cool, but they write the blog in a slightly odd day where I didn't find the confirmation that those were also zero-day vulnerabilities. Either way, we should get plenty of confirmation with the keys. Thanks for the details!
I think it's twice per day between Entroncamento and Badajoz too, not sure if there are other cross border connections. But maybe they'll finish the direct connection between Lisbon and Madrid some day! 🤞
I'm always a little picky with AI news, so I'm curious how much is actually confirmed to be true. I only did a little bit of digging, but it seems that all of Mythos' capabilities are simply claimed by Anthropic and not verified? I also couldn't find information about any new vulnerabilities they say it managed to find, it only found already discovered and patched ones as far as I can tell...?
The claim seems to be that it found them looking at old unpatched code and without connection to the internet and without being "explicitly" trained to find them. To me this sound like it was implicitly trained to find them since they were known about at the time of training, but I don't know this for sure. It sure does feel a lot like marketing and very little like facts at this time!
Not sure if Portugal is the type of European country you imagine, but last month on a train I sat one row ahead of a child that would excidetly exclaim "another train!" (in Portuguese) every time one passed outside the window. Adorable!
I'm not saying that it is straightforward or that you don't have a point about the complexity, but something being entertaining and addictive really should not be conflated! You might spend tonnes of time on something because you genuinely enjoy it, but you can also spend tonnes of time on something addictive without enjoying it. Arguing that things are only addictive if they're good is a gross misrepresentation of reality
I was super into them as a teenager, learned to solve the usual 3x3 and even bigger the usual way, i.e. mostly by memorising a bunch of algorithms (tonnes of "beginner" tutorials out there). After not touching them for over a decade I was disappointed that I had forgotten most of how to do it! Now I've re-learned and finding a way that relies on understanding or intuition so that I don't have to worry about algorithms or memorisation, I feel like this is a much nicer way to learn to do it!
Haha I was actually positively surprised by the graphics because I read your comment before watching the trailer 😆 But yeah, I agree the graphics are not mindblowing, though a signifant step up from the wii version, and I'm personally digging the vibe and the mood! But I still get your point
I don't think automated vehicles are necessarily bad, there are some trains that are autonomous that work well as far as I know, but this in no way means that autonomous cars are a good idea. Not Just Bikes has a very interesting (albeit long, but you don't need to watch much of it to get the gist) of how autonomous cars could make cities an absolute nightmare, I recommend it!
Oh I can tell you disagree with it! I'm quite happy with what I'm focusing on, I can see that you want to have a different conversation than whether it is crazy or not to classify this as terrorism, but I'm afraid I'm not interested in that. I feel like I've made my point clear enough, hopefully you feel the same.
Oh trust me, I get that the state wants to punish this and set a red line, no doubt about that. That doesn't make the label of terrorist appropriate, there is plenty of things other than terrorism that are illegal. My idea of terrorism doesn't include this form of property damage, and labeling it as such seems to be what sets a dangerous precedent here.
You sure seem to be right about the broader definition! But legal or not, it still seems absolutely crazy to classify this type of property damage as terrorism to me... I have a hard time to see how to justify that beyond, of course, the technicalities of the definition in the UK
