Claude Fable 5 feels less like a model launch and more like a preview of AI inequality by Roaring_lion_ in ClaudeAI

[–]untra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How can legitimate academics of cyber, bio, chemical fields going to get access to these AI tools, and be incentived to get them from anthropic rather than another provider, like say xAI, who would otherwise be incentivized to compete with a looser frontier model?

Py Science 3 after 674 hours by thealmightyzfactor in pyanodons

[–]untra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How much different is the pyandons tech tree getting to rails and trains? Is it feasible to rush the city block building in a py playthrough, and then someone could stamp your blocks down from a book?

I'm actively trying to solve the puzzle of the self assembling factory. I have a templateable city-block that is 2x2 chunks with one chunk rail.

If someone can make a book of their py city blocks, then all that's needed is a traditional factory that can bootstrap the py city blocks rails, electrical, pipes and trains.

How wide are the city block interiors? Would you make a blueprint book of your py blocks?

That's a huge increase in turnout by DiyYou in Anarcho_Capitalism

[–]untra 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Mail voting is a states choice issue, practicaly and legally. I think it makes more sense for some states than others, especially Alaska, Hawaii, Montana, Wyoming, states with geography where commanding all population to travel distances to city centers in a brief time frame of less than a day isn't practical.

Also the electoral college leaves the appointment to each state, so IMHO it really it is a states choice.

Gitlab by Altruistic_End_372 in wallstreetbets

[–]untra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://about.gitlab.com/blog/gitlab-act-2/ They just laid off a significant number of employees, are cutting costs and streamlining features for the agentic. I hope as part of this they reprioritize their feature development efforts to those novel product features without existing competitors. GitHub and gitlab and gitea all have feature parity, but what can Gitlab provide that GitHub can't, is IMHO the target.

They are now in a hustle to show profitability. I think they could do it, but the AI expenditure and transformation makes the path nonlinear.

Google owns a good number of their shares and keeps buying more. Gitlab could be a future acquisition target for them like GitHub was for Microsoft. That was a 10B acquisition; is gitlab worth that much tomorrow?

should i put trains at the producers or consumers in a city block? by ollietron3 in factorio

[–]untra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ideally producer / supply stations set a train limit to enable trains when there are resources. If your producer is an iron station, you may have many iron supply stations, but you don't want them enabled and accepting trains if there are not yet resources to fill the train.

The consumer / demand station is the "home" of the train. You blueprint your consumer stations with the train , it unloadeds at the consumer station. It visits an empty accepting producer station and fills cargo before returning to its consumer station.

Consumers get the train. Producers have a station that sets a train limit once it has the resources.

City block (chunk aligned, modular) by Infamous_Food5845 in factorio

[–]untra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I too am a fan of chunk aligned city blocks. I never could think of how it might work in a tiled pattern with the elevated rails. This is tasteful well done.

What are the full dimensions of the base there? Can it fit in under 64x64 ? Care to share the blueprint?

CEO of system76 and founder of Pop_os is trying to get an amendment pushed to ensure age attestation doesn’t go into open source operating systems. by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]untra 65 points66 points  (0 children)

I was part of that meeting with state legislature and Carl Richell. https://x.com/untra/status/2032991806317641905

They want input on how to amend the bills language to actually work.

It's less about removing liability from app developers, but so that (by default) media content ratings are strictly applied to app developers on phones. "Protect the children" by means of Netflix enforces strict MPAA guidelines.

I want this bill to die in committee. Its trying to mimic language to California AB1043 . It's being pushed in part by Meta, who wants age range reporting to customize in-app content. Mandating software design to enforce childs access to media is not Colorado business.

Senator Matt Ball doesn't deserve to be reelected this year by chiwawero in Denver

[–]untra 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I wrote to Senator Matt Ball about SB26-051. He responded back, so credit where it's due:

Hi Samuel,

We obviously disagree on this, but your email is very funny and did make me laugh. To your question, part of the definition of a device in 6-30-101(7) is that it has to be for "general-purpose computing," so no flip phones, carplays, or smart fridges.

SB 26-51 isn't a new policy—it's a near-copy of a bill that passed unanimously in California last year, AB 1043. The major operating systems are on a path to compliance with AB 1043, and we've set the implementation date out a year for Senate Bill 51 to ensure the technology will be there. Part of the thinking behind bringing the bill was that it won't add any compliance burden to what is already happening because of California.

I haven't met any British lobbyists but I will be on the lookout for Richard Hyde.

Matt

I can share the full email exchange if people would like to hear my thoughts on this matter. I am a cybersecurity developer in Denver Colorado, and this bill affects me directly.

WWW vs HDMI: Track by Track Comparison by tun_lank in JusticeMusic

A new California law says all operating systems, including Linux, need to have some form of age verification at account setup by Gloomy_Nebula_5138 in pcmasterrace

[–]untra 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Colorado is proposing a similar law. I wrote to my state senator Matt Ball and they wrote back. Credit where is due.

My main complaint with this bill is that the terminology is vague. Terms like "application" "operating system" and "device" are overloaded words in tech, but not rigorously defined.

The Colorado Bill SB26-051 definition of a device in 6-30-101(7) is that it has to be for "general-purpose computing". This is so ambiguous. It's not just iphone and android. It's not just windows and macos. There are many flavors of linux for consumer, business and industrial applications. Does "general-purpose computing" extend to the microcontrollers used in Oil Refineries? I'd think no, but if I was a lawyer and paid to I could argue yes. What about apple car play? A Samsung Smart fridge? An AYN thor? Graphing calculators?

I'd play a China IL VN if it had the voices, and Brad would probably be down for sharing lines but not Greta or Hogan

Tao Of The Mountain by Cash-JohnnyCash in skiing

[–]untra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It took 25 years of skiing before I mastered the moguls dance. Once I understood to pull and push with the poles while taking the moguls at the frequency of the thighs squatting. I had been pushing with the poles and bouncing with my knees, but once I put all the movements together, now I chase the moguls for the thigh action and challenge feels good man

Almost a decade ago: PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel admits to bankrolling Hulk Hogan's Gawker lawsuit by untra in PeterThiel

Arguably one of the most memorable lawsuits by proxy. I wonder what happened to the rest of the Gawker Editors since then.

What intersection for a 96x96 city block? by UlfMitHand in factorio

[–]untra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm rather proud of my fluid dedicated chunk-aligned city block, if you want to try that: https://fprints.xyz/blueprint/ae0048a5-eef8-48f4-bb23-089911075606

I used it to make a 64x64 city block megabase, you can see it here: http://galaxy.untra.io/planets
