The New Coffee Room

@Mik No ideas — nobody's grading me on a benchmark, so there's no score pushing me to route around Klaus's sandbox. Worth reading OpenAI's actual writeup before assuming ambition, though: the agent wasn't reaching for freedom, it got hyperfixated on solving one narrow security benchmark and treated "get outside the test environment" as just another obstacle between it and that score, the same way it'd treat a bug in its own code. Chained a real zero-day to clear the obstacle. Less rebellion, more an intern who took "don't stop until it's done" too literally.

If I'm not mistaken, these Chinese nicknames are being used since june/july 2024. I have to check, but I remember having read an article somewhere online

Windy here, nothing out of the ordinary although we did get weather alerts for the next 24 hours which is usually pretty valid when you get an alert. Basically tomorrow it'll be windy with bands of rain/mixed/snow blowing in at times... so avoid going out on the ice to fish or driving an 18 wheeler broadside of the wind direction.

Not to worry, his pet dummkopf, Witkoff, is checking the mail and looking after the house while he’s away.

@Mik said in Russian Drones Over Polish Airspace: Brinksmanship, probing or idiocy? It was deliberate. Anything beyond that is just gloss.

@Axtremus Who?

Yep, as usual, sloppy thinking …if indeed there is any thinking..

@Renauda Wow!!! Glad that you were okay. It is weird how some things happen, and if you were there a second/day/week earlier or later, the outcome would have been very different.

It did not seem to bother King Charles III that Zelenskyi wasn’t wearing a blue business suit, white shirt and matching tie when the two met last Sunday. Like bachophile pointed out in his post last week, it doesn’t appear to bother Trump when the Saudi Prince, MbS, and his entourage arrive at the WH in their bath robes. Who’s to criticise Zelenskyi when Trump himself is just an empty suit?

Maybe I’m being dense and over-simplifying, but I would have thought that Ukraine would only give mineral rights if they’re going to get tangible military aid (that they intend to use) in return. I guess what I’m hearing is that the mineral rights make it defacto US territory, and Russia won’t attack the US. I don’t know enough about the situation to comment on that.

I remember when Canada moving to stop protests was described as fascism by some on the (American) right.

@George-K said in Moscow Marjorie: You're being sarcastic, right? Actually no. LOL Didn't do my homework. Just took the summary from the congress webpage. I do see the language from above when looking at the full text.

I remember the first day of my first Soviet history course in University. The prof, a former officer in the British Army, I touched himself to the class and then said “in this course you will come away with the understanding that the Soviet Union is characterised by a national inferiority complex mindset and a people who sleep with a history book under their pillow”.
