It's a patch release, therefore the .1 suffix.

MaKey··on We must pace the frontier
> I’m disappointed in the level of groupthink reflexive cynicism I see from commenters any time prominent AI leaders talk about AI risks and the need for regulation or pacing.

Maybe it's not "groupthink reflexive cynicism" if you feel the need to address the obvious conflict of interest of the AI leaders in each of your paragraphs. Why did they launch this coordinated AI safety campaign, starting with Jacob Coxon's tweet?

MaKey··on Anthropic boss Dario Amodei calls for AI development to slow down
> [...] but tons of people on all sides with all motivations [...] all seem to agree there are real, existential risks here [...]

Are you talking about the Jacob Coxon story and the people that came out agreeing with his post? It was a well coordinated campaign, not a genuine grassroots development.

MaKey··on Harvard study predicts most suicide attempts a week in advance

I think he's going through a breakup.

MaKey··on Navier-Stokes – Tristan Buckmaster [pdf]
OpenAI's statement:

  We congratulate Levent Alpöge and Tristan Buckmaster on their remarkable mathematical work.
  
  We (the researchers and the agents) did not see any of their work through any means until they released it publicly — in particular, no specific user data was accessed in order to solve this problem. 
  
  While unlikely, we cannot rule out that de-identified data derived from their usage of our products helped improve our models. 
  
  However, our proofs differ significantly and even the precise results proved are different in the Euler case (forced vs. unforced).

MaKey··on FBI Probes Service Selling 153M+ Drivers Licenses
There are law firms that pursue the compensations for you and take a cut of them as payment. I used one of them.
MaKey··on FBI Probes Service Selling 153M+ Drivers Licenses
I can't say which ones as it is one condition of the settlement agreements not to talk about specifics and I gave numbers already. You don't get compensations automatically. I pursued them with the help of a specialized law firm that takes a cut of the settlements.

I'm in Europe and got ~$350 because of three data leaks. The amount per instance was vastly different though - $255, $80 and $15.

The focus of this repo is the MI300X and DwarfStar doesn't include any optimizations/fixes for it.

The OP didn't say that.

The Facebok Container extension also makes containers available.

I think you missed the /s (for sarcasm) at the end.
MaKey··on EU now one step away from reviving private message scanning rules
This is being heavily pushed by certain actors so it's not just politicians wanting to do something about CSAM: https://balkaninsight.com/2023/09/25/who-benefits-inside-the...

Many abuse survivors and youth advocates strongly oppose Chat Control; here is one voice detailing why: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/why-i-dont-support-privacy-in...

It's still objectionable with a false positive rate of 50-80%.

Go with reputable publishers (e. g. O'Reilly or No Starch Press) and you will get quality books.

This is about Chat Control 1.0 (voluntary scanning).

MaKey··on Age verification is just a precursor to automated attribution of speech
> Because the entire reason we are here is due to the fact that harms to kids are on the other end of the scale.

If that's a "fact", where is the proof? What harms are there that can only be addressed with age verification and not in any other way?

> Dismissing the harms [...]

This is a strawman you've created.

> Defending privacy effectively means plugging the root cause it is being encroached.

Defending privacy means defending privacy, not submitting to nefarious interests and well-meaning but misled followers.

> This is being articulated as a defense of privacy when it originates from social media harms to kids.

Social media can be dangerous to kids, I don't see anyone disputing that. The dispute is around the solution to this issue.

MaKey··on Age verification is just a precursor to automated attribution of speech
How did you come to the conclusion that advocating for privacy is at odds with protecting users? I'd argue the opposite is true.

At that price point you could also go with a Tenstorrent Galaxy Blackhole, which starts at $110,000.
MaKey··on Age verification is just a precursor to automated attribution of speech
This assumes good faith, which doesn't match reality. It's about control, not protecting children.

Also age verification is still a problem in itself. Given your idea of a physical card, kids will find a way to use the card of their parents. Even if the card couldn't be misused by others - you give platforms the knowledge of whom is a minor, which means they can be targeted better.

MaKey··on Ford AI hiccups push carmaker to rehire ‘gray beard’ inspectors
Putting timing belts in oil was quite a bad idea from them though.
MaKey··on Ford hired AI and sacked humans. It backfired badly
I've had great success with OpenCode Go and DeepSeek v4 Flash for Terraform code refactorings and extensions. It's cheap enough to pay it yourself ($5 first month, $10 afterwards). Ideally you provide the model a feedback loop (e. g. passing tests) so it can safely iterate.
MaKey··on GLM-5.2 – How to Run Locally
I'd love to too, but I guess Crescent Island with 480 GB will cost something like $10-12k or even more.
MaKey··on Ubisoft co-founder Claude Guillemot has died in a plane crash
Every now and then there are some people who try to innovate in this space. Example: The guys from corsairpower (https://corsairpower.com/) who put a marine engine in a Cessna 172. However, it seems like they get stuck because of small market size, regulations and incumbents who don't want the status quo to change.
