I was thinking exactly that when seeing those replies...

They conducted a full test of its hacking prowess

They evaluated its capabilities against current cyber defences

And they published the whole evaluation in just over ONE week

It is the only independent evaluation of this powerful new AI tool yet undertaken anywhere in the world 10/

Recording now available if you've missed it:

Imagine for a moment a world so dependent on data centers that every aspect of municipal infrastructure must be reshaped. Not around human need, but maintaining GPU farms that use exponentially more power and water with each build. Models are only growing, and our resources are only diminishing.

Taking a guess: they're wearing quantum 3d suits to have the AI embrace them completely at skin level interface

I wish some people on here gave recommendations more often:)

When they say the left hates technology ask what? 🚬 or 📚? AI or paper & pens? Redefine tech to mean pollution causing bs and you can say we're anti tech.

> Let's talk about the benefits of existing technology. A book isn't full of pop-ups and ads, and it doesn't funnel money and power to big tech.

I spent some of the spring break week catching up with various research collaborations and some of it dealing with a backlog of email and administrative tasks after two weeks of a lot of travel. In between, I did some of my favorite type of sleuthing, which is too good not to share.

We are not talking nearly enough about the damage done by constantly telling people that their labor, their intellect, their creativity, and their identity can be replaced by an app

It's very important work!

Very small contribution of shared environment on adult personality traits probably qualifies?>

Who's been patterning the ferns again?!

Wow I googled the burger comparison : there are many basically ads-for-ai-tech people/websites around...

Uh this is great, why am I hearing of this only now.

Still polite....

Now that fake photos and videos are so much easier than, say, climbing into the Himalayas and setting up a trail cam, it's even more worthwhile to block on sight when there's no provenance/attribution.

Ok I've always found that tension annoying, especially English speakers anglicising everything... Well put though!

But OP: Akaike is at least in a reasonable approximation in the range of phonemes of many many languages!

I'd already br happy if everyone understood randomisation...

Statistical Rethinking 2026 is done: 20 new lectures emphasizing logical and critical statistical workflow, from basics of probability theory to causal inference to reliable computation to sensitivity. It's all free, made just for you. Lecture list and links: github.com/rmcelreath/s...

Psychology has a whole cottage industry in which people come up with some construct that is essentially "attitudes/beliefs/expectations/feelings about X", and then the central claim is that this construct is a super important determinant of future X outcomes.>

One of the creators is German if I remember correctly. Also, annoying ff, I try to avoid that word...

One thing growing into my middle age has done has made me much less sympathetic to humanities Takes like this. A pathetic thrill of pseudo-provocation which inevitably backfires when a non trivial proportion of the audience actually just adopt and endorse the stupid read the author was winking at.

Just like a turn to bayesianism doesn’t cure the fundamental problem of statistical illiteracy

Now curious about how data.table's fread treats this. Not always a fan of Polars, but I think it would throw an error on guessing type of such a column.

Meta-analyses in nutrition may pool estimates for completely incomparable effects without realising it, just because of whether/how energy intake is adjusted.

@nataliaortega.bsky.social will explain why, share results from a meta-scientific review & offer recommendations for ways forward 👇

"My name may be forgotten when it comes, but the time will arrive when great outbreaks of cholera will be things of the past. And it is the knowledge of the way in which the disease is propagated which will cause them to disappear"

Happy birthday to John Snow! His name & his work is not forgotten.
