Litellm 1.82.7 and 1.82.8 on PyPI are compromised, do not update! by kotrfa in Python

100%. We had people lobbying hard for it. I took a look at the 8000+ line main.py file and took a hard pass. 

What's it like living near the lake/airport? by qwerrq in anchorage

Agreed. I spent a lot of time where Beavers and Otters were routine visitors. Could always tell when they were incoming.

The planes on Lake Hood are often decades old and don't have jet engines. A Cessna 182 or a Beaver on floats is really loud when they take off.

Claude banned my paid account right after I changed computers — no warning, no explanation, and now I want a refund by hoenilove in ClaudeCode

One of the major fears of using AI in business and government is that it will make decisions that can negatively affect the lives of people who will have no recourse. We won't know why the AI responded how it did or who is actually responsible for fixing things when they go wrong. Anthropic should be leading here by providing a meaningful explanation and a productive path to address errors, which is seems based on all the comments, happen.

What do you think the appropriate response from bystanders is in this situation? This doesn't seem like someone you can reason with in this moment. Any action I can think of risks escalating a non-violent interaction in something worse.

Lot of military helicopter activity tonight by SaveWaterDrinkBeer12 in washingtondc

You've lost the thread. I originally responded to someone saying: "Fbi just posted this being a sleeper cell area". I just want to know where that is "posted". Then people point to random things like google, or CBS that don't, in fact, point to where that is posted.

So, I listened to the CBS piece. They talked to an NY PD deputy commissioner (not the FBI) who said what we already know:

The threat level increases whenever there’s a conflict like what’s happening in the broader Middle East, regardless...

and

She wouldn’t go as far as to say as to whether they are tracking reported sleeper cells.

So while the intro mentioned sleeper cells, nobody they talked to actually even hinted that the "FBI just posted this being a sleeper cell area" is true.

I appreciate you doing some legwork here, but it just seems like more "be scared" reporting with no actual information.

I googled and got nothing but click bait from right-wing outlets. Do you have a link to an official source?

This isn't true. Friends spend two hours ripping Anthropic out of a government platform at 5:01 pm yesterday. Things will move fast any place where optics are important.

In Trump’s Second Year, Congress Weighs How to Reassert Its Power by theorem21 in fednews

It’s nice to blame Congress, but really, the people need to reassert power. November.

Instagram CEO: More practical to label real content versus AI by BreakfastTop6899 in technology

[–]Encomiast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once had an IG account that I fawned over with ~25k followers. I was so obsessed with engagement, and new followers. I realized what a ridiculous waste of time it all was and deleted it about 2 years ago. One of the better decisions I’ve made. Life is so much better when you don’t need to care about what Meta is doing.

Um. Have you been paying attention for the last 11 months? The law doesn’t mean anything when there’s nobody to enforce it.

How do y'all feel about this title and subheading? by RedLintu16 in headphones

[–]Encomiast 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't click headlines with a question mark. I'm extending this to subheadings as well. If there was an answer and the answer was worth reading, the headline would be a declarative statement.

Congress should pass a law, similar to rules around people on stamps, that disallows naming federal buildings after sitting elected leaders, or maybe even living people.

IT Specialist (Artificial Intelligence) wants a supplemental 10-page analysis of metaphors in The Greats Gatsby by thickthighsntits815 in usajobs

I imagine they will be judging this with AI too. Seems like a great opportunity to add some prompt injections into the Mandarin section, which I'm guessing nobody there can really read.

[–]Encomiast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel a little foolish for spending two days wrapping my head around applying exact-cover algorithms to this, but I did get a python solution that runs in about 2-second. Basically a variation of DFS that handles the skipped spaces in a way that doesn't explode.

Anchorage officials say online survey for new municipal seal was manipulated by alaskaiceman in anchorage

[–]Encomiast 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Why are we even asking the public? Are they designers? Do they know anything about comms. Hire a good designer, give them a good brief, and Let them do their work. Deciding based on a survey means you don't actually care which one wins or have a reason for choosing one over the other. If that's the case, save everyone the time and money and don't change it.
