polski-g··on Ontario prison AI assigns black prisoners harsher living conditions
> The ministry responsible for Ontario’s prisoners agrees. It wrote in internal training documents viewed exclusively by The Breach that “Indigenous and racialized individuals face systemic discrimination in our justice system … As a result, assessments like SAFER would likely contribute to the overrepresentation of Indigenous inmates in maximum security.”

If "Indigenous and racialized individuals" (whatever the fuck that means) are more violent (even in prison), then it would make sense to put them in higher security prisons to lower likelihood of harm to other prisoners and/or guards. But that isn't what's happening, as the race of the individual prisoner is not even inputted into the algorithm, only their behavior is: "SAFER inputs a prisoner’s personal information—including arrests, charges, and disciplinary records—into an algorithm."

polski-g··on Annoying and alarming things about OpenCode
OpenCode is indeed bad, but it's the least bad agent out there :(

Plugin opencode-slim-system can be used to override the system prompt and the tool description for any tool (including bash). It helps a lot to fix their nonsense.

magic-context plugin fixes the compaction issues.

Run the entire process in landstrip for sandboxing to alleviate any bash concerns.

polski-g··on Annoying and alarming things about OpenCode
60 days ago there were 73 pages of open issues. Now there are over 150 pages.

Nobody is reading the issues; nobody is accepting PRs.

polski-g··on 800 Canadian wildfires burning as air quality alerts extend to US
They're supposed to go into forests in the middle of nowhere and do controlled burns.

And no, 37degC does not cause wood to spontaneously combust. This is just gross negligence, same thing that happens in California.

polski-g··on Australian energy retailers must offer three hours of free daytime electricity
For people without that, they can treat their house as a battery by lowering the AC down to 65deg between 11am-2pm, and hopefully not need to run AC the rest of the day.

USSR is proud to announce that they won 2nd place in an Olympic contest. The filthy USA regime? Next to last!

polski-g··on Token overhead in coding agents: the task used 0.67% but overhead used the rest
What I do to keep MCP context usage under control is:

1) Enable every MCP server you want

2) Disallow tool usage on your main agent

3) Create sub-agents that are designated to just use that MCP toolset by overriding the disallow with an allow of the MCP tool list. I have one for gitlab (which has over a hundred tools), one for sound generation, one for image generation, etc.

polski-g··on Inference Optimization for MiMo v2.5: Pushing Hybrid SWA Efficiency to the Limit
No that's not right. It's 50b credits, not tokens. What is a credit? Nobody knows.

Someone did the math a few months ago and paying API prices was the same as the monthly subscription.

polski-g··on Falling fertility on the left as key driver of US birth decline
Because it encourages society to delay childbirth further. If two groups have kids at 20 and another society has them at 30, over those two generations the first would be twice as large as the second.

We know how to raise the birth rates: give money to men, discourage parental co-habitation.

Because the data is very helpful in pricing risk of drivers in insurance premiums. Obviously risky drivers should be charged a higher rate.

It's not arbitrary. In Virginia that's a guaranteed reckless driving charge.

polski-g··on 30-year sentence for transporting zines is a five-alarm fire for free speech
It is absolutely a crime to conceal evidence in an ongoing criminal trial. The contents of the publications is absolutely irrelevant: the individual was asked to conceal evidence and agreed to do it.
polski-g··on 30-year sentence for transporting zines is a five-alarm fire for free speech
Yes. That evidence was presented to the jury and found to be true.

What in God's name are you talking about? Shot at a police officer "in self defense"? In what world do you have a right to try to murder a cop?

If their property is damaged they can sue. We have a system for this.
polski-g··on US Grid Constraints: Towards 40GW+ of Behind-the-Meter Datacenter by 2028?
You gained the datacenter, which is providing a highly desired service... Are you European?
polski-g··on US Grid Constraints: Towards 40GW+ of Behind-the-Meter Datacenter by 2028?
The problem is that the datacenters need grid investments. And if the utility makes those debt-backed investments but then the DC goes bankrupt, households are on the hook for the debt servicing.

Utilities requiring ten year of prepayment from the DCs makes sense.

Not every government law is wise or good. But it's still the law.
polski-g··on U.S. allows Anthropic to release Mythos AI to ‘trusted’ US organizations
Congress did regulate weapons access when they passed the AECA almost 50 years ago. The rules have been refined via ITAR over time. This isn't arbitrary.
polski-g··on U.S. allows Anthropic to release Mythos AI to ‘trusted’ US organizations
Anthropic doesn't have the right to release weapons technologies on the open Internet, that's the point.

Lockheed doesn't whine that they aren't allowed to sell their products for a $20/mo subscription to everyone with a pulse.
