Didn’t Anthropic famously refuse to work with the US gov on military applications that would violate its safeguards?

> They need something better than Microsoft/Github Copilot

Why?

What's wrong with using Claude Code/Codex?

Enterprise GTM for these behemoths relies on offering everything a customer needs so they don’t shop around. It’s Microsoft’s playbook and AWS copies it for the same market. That’s why they each offer a “good enough” (but objectively garbage) solution for everything under the sun.

Because they have a multi-trillion dollar market cap that they need to justify and maintain.

Ironically my experience with Fastmail was that every email ended up in spam. This included emails from myself, others from my own gmail, and even replies from people I'd emailed first. It was literally sending 100% of emails to spam. The spam filter setting was set to the most basic level, nothing aggressive, so I was forced to disable spam filtering completely. Luckily it was a new email so spam hasn't been an issue but that has slowly been changing.

I still love fastmail though. Top choice. But they do have quirks to work out even this many years in.

It should go without saying, but that's definitely not the common (or expected!) experience. Our support team would be very happy to look into it for you: https://www.fastmail.com/support/

Normally when people see this kind of behaviour, it's because of one of the following: * They've connected an IMAP client that has its own spam filter turned on, and it's actually this moving all the messages to Spam, not Fastmail's spam filter. * They've accidentally mis-trained their personal filter by reporting email they want as spam.

Having said that, of course we can have issues on our end too — that's why we have a real human support team with the power to escalate to the relevant engineers.

Brand new email. Behaviour stopped when I disabled spam filter.

Good point about working with support. I’ll keep this in mind if I get around to re-enabling spam filters and experience the same behaviour.

I want to second this. Love Fastmail but I'm seeing the same mails that I constantly mark as "not spam" go into spam again and again. Their spam filter needs a lot of work. Otherwise I got a solid workflow (inspired by Hey) set ujp that I haven't modified in years that works for me

And to simplify, there’s also really only two reasons to move:

1) more interesting work opportunities; and

2) more money

And the delta on (1) has never been smaller thanks to remote work post-covid (even after all the RTO).

So basically, at some point, you start asking if the extra money is worth it.

(Depending where you come from in Canada, lifestyle in SF might be better overall - but then you can just move back to somewhere else in Canada and have it all.)

I’m trying to reconcile this with TFA. Because the article says that the majority of vulns found by Mythos are being reported by independent researchers after validation. They never said those reports inform that mythos was involved - and I suspect they don’t. So did any of these 11 CVEs come from that channel?

And each of those technologies is 70+ years old now (assuming you count V-2 rockets as spaceships). All, in fact, from the same period of history as far as I understand.

A wiki with only 11 pages?

Perhaps they will investigate why 541,000 pages aren’t being indexed. In my experience, Google provides adequate tools for identifying and resolving indexing issues.

Google won’t serve pages it hasn’t indexed. Seems they left a lot of relevant details out of that tweet.

Edit: and the most likely answer would be that their current robots.txt disallows virtually all indexing. I’m no SEO expert but entries like this seem like footguns:

   User-agent: Google-Extended
   Disallow: /

Edit 2: there’s more info in the full thread but that was only viewable via the xcancel link someone else shared (despite having the X app installed - deeplinks don’t work today). A helpful example of why X is not the best platform for sharing multi-post threads. Seems robots.txt was considered but ruled out.

In the first image you can see how indexed pages go from 40k+ to 11 in the matter of days. Further down the thread I show how 114k+ pages are marked as “crawled but not index” and we can’t understand why. The rest is stuff that is (correctly) blocked by robots.txt.

Is ultrasound less expensive than a moisture sensor?

The problem with both is they effectively require the vehicle to be in the water already. They need something that can tell depth before the vehicle has to slow down.

What kind of moisture sensor are you thinking of?

Probably an exposed set of electrical contacts and a resistance meter.

Unfortunately, those get screwed up in climates where there is salt used on the roads.

My guess: they want to make the case that illegitimate use cases are indeed the primary use case. Their approach is to randomly sample all users and show that the vast majority use it to defeat emissions, undermining the app maker’s defence.

I don’t think that justifies the overreach. As you said, if they don’t have a case already, they shouldn’t be allowed to violate user privacy on speculation that some statistical evidence might hypothetically fall out of the data. But the legal system may disagree.

I suspect there is a bit of parallel construction going on

They might already know for a fact that illegitimate use cases are the primary use case, they just cannot use any of their evidence in court

So they are seeking a way to legally obtain the information they already have, basically

It's shady but my understanding is it happens kind of a lot in modern policing. They can get illegal information much easier than legal information. So the illegal information sort of forms the justification for the time and money spent pursuing and gathering the same information legally

The supreme court struck that down for the Sony case. It was determined that since ISPs do not offer a service that is used specifically to break the law, they are not liable when their customers do. It would be the same argument here. the app is literally just an ODB tool, like many others on the market.

They have communicated it as 5x is 5 x Pro, and 20x is 20 x Pro (I haven’t looked lately so not sure if that’s changed).

They have also repeatedly communicated that the base unit (Pro allotment) is subject to change and does change often.

As far as I can tell, that implies there is no guarantee that those subscriptions get some specific number of tokens per unit of time. It’s not a claim they make.

I think as far as the maybe more important weekly allotment Max 5 is 10x Pro and Max 20 is 20x Pro. For the 5 hour window it is as the names would suggest though.
