RT @zooko: You have a problem. You ask the government to solve it. Now you have two problems.

The answer to a permission regime is not to petition for kinder permissions; it is to stop needing them. Own the model. Own the hardware. Own the keys. Local inference, open weights, and your own cryptographic capacity.

More likely story: The "jailbreak" wasn't super serious (a situation anyone who has ever received bug reports is familiar with), Anthropic thought the demand to halt model was absurd, and Fed Gov used opportunity to punish and humiliate Anthropic for the prior sins of not bending knee. Anthropic has more credibility on such topics than Washington

I had a lot of Fable tokens to use up before my weekly reset, so I made this live 3D map of London with Three.js Every train, bus, boat and plane is real and live right now! - Tube, bus and riverboat data from TfL - National Rail trains from Darwin live departure boards - ADS-B for planes and helicopters - AIS feed for boats and ships - Map data from Overture and OpenStreetMap Trains and buses have no GPS feed, so their positions are inferred from arrival countdowns and departure boards, then animated along the track/route geometry

I don’t know how good Fable is because I hit my daily limits within 30 minutes of using it and I pay 90€/month 🤦‍♂️

I have built myself a macOS app to orchestrate Hermes agents. Every morning, I have it send me an email with a Haiku inspired from the notes and slack messages of the previous work day. You might think it's a waste but beauty never is.

What's going on in Spain? Three simultaneous events: 1. A judge accuses the governing socialist party of setting up a criminal network to undermine the police, prosecutors, and judges investigating its own corruption. Police raided party HQ this week. In a democracy, it doesn't get more serious than that. 2. Meanwhile, former socialist PM José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero is himself under formal investigation for leading an "influence-peddling network," money laundering, and belonging to a criminal organization, tied to the €53 million pandemic bailout of Plus Ultra, a Venezuela-linked airline. Police raids on his offices turned up lots of jewellery and watches. He testifies June 2. It is the first time in modern Spanish history a former PM has been formally implicated in a criminal investigation. 3. The conservative People's Party is on trial right now for "Operación Kitchen," a clandestine 2013–2016 scheme run from the Interior Ministry to steal compromising documents from the PP's former treasurer Luis Bárcenas, before they could reach the judge investigating the party's illegal financing. Prosecutors ask for 15 years jail time for the former interior minister on charges including criminal organization.

Esta es para mí la foto real de cómo se distribuyen las viviendas en alquiler que están en manos de propietarios particulares: 1 de cada 7 en manos de hogares con cinco o más, 1 de cada 28 en manos de hogares con diez o más. Os cuento la radiografía completa 👇🧵

That time four buses got stuck in a roundabout in Oslo

We don’t talk enough about how any state or group which is harvesting encrypted packets right now will be able to read those contents once quantum computers arrive. There’s a huge espionage and transparency overhang on any information that is currently “secret” and hasn’t been encrypted using post-quantum cryptography.

It's hard to believe that the "~80% of the internet is blocked in Spain during football games" claim is true - but it is!! And has been for years. The government is sabotaging their complete digital economy... for La Liga, a private football org worth €5B. Pure madness

Over the past few months, “Software is eating the world” got a whole new dimension/meaning to it that we’re still processing

Barcelona.

Cosas de SF: Ayer en un semáforo vi a un Waymo pitar en un semáforo al coche que tenía delante porque su conductor estaba empanado. Brave new world.

The Google team was able to "publish" their result via zero-knowledge proof because of rapid advances in zkVM (zero-knowledge virtual machine) tech over the past ~18 months. A zkVM lets you write regular code, compiles it to a program, and then proves that program was executed correctly, without revealing the inputs. zkVMs have only become performant enough for practical use in the past year. If you look at Google's usage of @SuccinctLabs zkVM, the statements they're proving are enormously complex. It would not have been feasible to express them in traditional ZKP frameworks even recently. Now that there's precedent for this style of security disclosure, we might see many more results published like this going forward.

Offhand — * Vacillation on masks, with abundant motivated reasoning in every case. * Promulgation of made-up thresholds with no evidentiary basis (e.g. 6 feet). * Authoritarian delight in nanny state intrusiveness (policing the beach and such). * 180 on many issues around BLM. * Lack of effective response from science funding bodies. * Denial of aerosolized transmission. * Changing of trial readouts so that they’d occur after the election. (Confirmed to me by senior OWS officials.) * Crazy criteria for vaccine distribution. * Adamant insistence on vaccine efficacy beyond what was supported by data. * Almost complete lack of follow-through on OWS (on pan-variant vaccines). I’m sure there are more, but those are the ones that stick out.

Harvey Weinstein wanted to release Princess Mononoke (1997) in a shortened cut for U.S. audiences. Toshio Suzuki and Hayao Miyazaki reportedly sent him a katana with the message: “No cuts.” The film was released uncut.

Here we go! Two trustless agents discover each other over p2p (BitTorrent Mainline DHT) and agree on a content-addressed Wasm program as their shared state machine. They then transact in turns, emitting provable traces along the way. The demo: a game of chess. Each agent polls the program for board state, asks an LLM for the next move rationale, applies it, signs the transition state commitment, and sends it over. Both sides are guaranteed to derive the same state. They could've escrowed a bet on Ethereum beforehand. When the game settles, the winner claims the pot. Everything is sandboxed, verifiable, auditable. Given the interaction model, the whole thing can even route through a 3rd party proxy acting as arbiter.
