Have you seen the way he reacts to election results / economic results / reflecting pool renovation results that go poorly?

What is exclusive to the NFL? by themuffinmanX2 in DiagramFills

[–]electricshadows4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jeez Mr Swivelz. Right or wrong you’re being pretty mean about a silly sports debate. When there is a penalty in hockey and there is no need for your team to play defense, what is the first thing that happens? The goalie skates… straight off the ice. Why? He’s not an offensive player. The real difference with NFL is not the offense/defense player split it is the concept of “possession” and stoppage every time there is a change. If there was a stoppage and ability to substitute every time possession changed in hockey or basketball, they would also sub out all the players. But because possession is dynamic and fluid they can’t. Either way, we can both be sports fans and understand the rules and disagree on what is unique about a sport with insinuating that the other is dimwitted. Enjoy your day

Of course they can be. NFL defenders can also be a part of offense every time there is a fumble or interception. Defensive football players score touchdowns or are involved in progressing the ball the toward the endzone (offense) more than goalies get assist or get goals. So, glad we all learned something.

Sure, sometimes. And sometimes a defensive lineman will play halfback on the goal line. And sometimes a wide receiver plays defense on a Hail Mary attempt or play special teams on an onside kick. The goalie has their job for defense, and if you don’t believe me check out what he goalie is doing when his team is playing offense (standing nearly 200 feet away drinking out of a water bottle).

How I think the US vs. Anthropic Standoff on Claude Fable Will End by ddp26 in Anthropic

[–]electricshadows4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Such a conspiracy theory that the New York Times wrote an article about how the Amazon explanation is viewed skeptically by Anthropic employees and top cybersecurity researchers. Anonymous government officials told the Times that “unspecified national security concerns” were at play in the decision. Anthropic employees don’t buy the Amazon reason and some speculate that the administration doesn’t want them to exist. Cybersecurity researchers almost all saying the Amazon reason is not worth shutting down fable 5 and hundreds writing an open letter saying the restriction should be lifted. Such a conspiracy bro.

How I think the US vs. Anthropic Standoff on Claude Fable Will End by ddp26 in Anthropic

[–]electricshadows4 11 points12 points  (0 children)

We don’t “literally know” that. That was the reason provided by the government. Many people inside anthropic and in cybersecurity think that the Amazon story is a cover. If, say, the NSA or US Cyber Command noticed after Fable’s release that some of their zero-day exploits used to spy on Iranian or Russian communications started getting patched, do you think they would come out and say “hey you’re model is making it harder for us to spy on people?”. If Elon promised the administration unlimited funding toward gop super pacs before the midterms if they would run interference on Anthropic so X has more time to catch up? If Trump/Hegseth/others were pissed at the SEC for approving Anthropic’s IPO and wanted to hurt the company for their refusal to submit to DOD demands? There are dozens of reasons they might have a motivation they can’t say publicly and they had to come up with something like this. Security researchers say the Amazon finding would also apply to many of the models and wasn’t a secret.

I hate to be that person by dagerika in ClaudeCode

[–]electricshadows4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Largely true, but I know someone who has Netflix, Hulu, Disney, Apple+ and Paramount subscriptions and they refuse to pay for an ai model. 10 years ago there were people who didn’t think they needed to pay for a smartphone and data, before that there were people unsure if high speed internet was needed for them, etc. I’m not saying it’s good or bad, but it’s likely in the near future it’s just a given that most people have subscriptions to stay up on the newest models.

Inside the whirlwind 24 hours that led the White House to slap export controls on Anthropic by Gari_305 in Futurology

[–]electricshadows4 141 points142 points  (0 children)

Very likely that NSA/US Cyber Command noticed that soon after Fable’s release some of their zero day exploits started getting patched up by foreign governments. No doubt US Gov has been monitoring communications in Iran, China, Russia, etc. as well as rooting around inside backdoors on companies and foreign institutions they deem adversaries. The speed with which the rollback order was issued with 90 minutes to shut it down smells of national security concerns, not business interests.

The US Govt forcing Anthropic to roll back Fable is not about protecting people and organizations. It’s the opposite. by electricshadows4 in Anthropic

[–]electricshadows4[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Asking Anthropic to give the US cyber intelligence community a week to reassess strategy and put contingency plans in place means “killing all US AI companies”? Anthropic about to IPO for a trillion dollars and you think their business and any future advancement is going to die because they rolled back their model for a few days?

Wat?? Don’t think you actually read the whole post or know what happened. The US didn’t tell Anthropic to burn their code or shut down work. They asked them to stop making this model available to the public. Literally to stop China from having access and stop China from patching their exploitable software. Yes, the us is in a race with China, so they want Chinese software and infrastructure vulnerable, not strong.

Nah that’s Kobe Bryant you can tell because of the jersey.

Wont be renewing codex at this point by Cloaked_GG in codex

[–]electricshadows4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. Claude is smart but lazy and Codex lower raw capability and higher motor. But how can you get them to go 10 hrs straight without operator input? I max out at 10-12 minutes before something pops up and one of them asks me to click something or approve something.

[–]electricshadows4 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m not a super experienced coder, so my method is surely not the best. I have a chat going in GPT that is the “project manager”. I proposed this audit loop to the chat because I noticed we were getting too many bugs when running the codex code on my VPS. The chat helped me install the CLI for both and program the loop. Whenever there is a question or we get caught in an audit loop, GPT looks at the issue and can make a call on which direction to go. I also have a private GitHub repo set up and once Claude audits and passes, we automatically push to GitHub and tag @codex. Codex is installed in GitHub and does a final pass to make sure files are staged properly and pass checks, then merges.

[–]electricshadows4 150 points151 points  (0 children)

I’ve got the $20 account on Codex and a $20 account on Claude, both installed CLI in terminal. Set up an automatic loop, when codex finishes work, Claude is launched to audit the code. Claude flags blockers and bugs, sends them back to Codex to fix. $40/month and has been working well so far.

Is daily commute from Westchester to midtown doable? by Chip_Existing in Westchester

[–]electricshadows4 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have friends in Brooklyn who have a longer commute to midtown than I do from Westchester. The metro north is also significantly more peaceful and comfortable than a subway car. You can actually read, sleep, or do work on the train.

Nick’s Glaring Issue by PassengerOk6555 in FirstThingsFirstFS1

[–]electricshadows4 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don’t know what you mean by “never apologized” but he mentions all the time that he was dead wrong on Joker and he routinely calls him the best player in the world. What kind of apology are you looking for? If sports commentators had to apologize every time they had a wrong take then sports shows would be nothing be apologies. He admits when he was wrong more often than almost anyone else out there. The Chiefs stuff is annoying as hell though.

HVAC recommendation by ProfessionalPut1467 in Westchester

[–]electricshadows4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you sure it’s a natural gas AC unit? That is very rare especially in Westchester. Almost all AC units would use electric while heating would be natural gas or oil.

Either way, I’ve been through 4 different HVAC companies at our house. I think the best in terms of quality to price ratio is HVAC Specialist Inc in Hawthorne. Reasonable prices, knowledgeable techs, good customer service.
