> Representatives from Springer Nature declined to comment, beyond saying that “detailed information about specific retractions is usually confidential and can only be shared with the relevant authors.”

Was it a bot commenting as well? That's a hilariously tone-deaf response. Guess we'd better bust out the ouija board to ask max plank himself.

I found the thread hard to parse.[0].

Can you explain the reason? from a brief skim he is promoting some project he wants to start in wikipedia from outside wikipedia, is that it or did I misunderstand?

They at least claim that it is greater than Mythos class[0]

Do you mean full benchmarks? Because from the article they claim 85.6 for 5.5-Cyber vs. 83.8 for mythos on Cybergym.

Oh! So the new openai model is limited to US residents and they use their existing KYC process to verify it?

That makes sense if both openai and anthropic have export restrictions on their similar models. If they didn't then it seems like the comment you're replying to may be correct.

This was my thought as well. I'm surprised that it's not being used here (afaict)

This article links to a previous one[0] (by Poul) which states:

> I will also state for the record, that there are no hard feelings between Varnish Software and the FOSS project.

I wonder if that is still the case now. (this article is fairly diplomatically written, but I'd imagine it must be pretty frustrating)

> That the tech benefits may not be there, but they’re using it for the non-tech benefits

My read of the article is that this is correct, but that the benefits they're using it for are the operational, and organisational.

I think the comment you're replying to is arguing that those benefits don't really matter or outweigh the additional complexity costs when N=2 (engineers). I think I'd probably agree.

> waking up this morning to nearly everyone I know outside the US shifting use off Anthropic.

Why would anyone switch yet? They have the same models they did four days ago.

Do you mean ensuring they can switch quickly, or putting in place systems to be able to shift their traffic more easily?

Does anyone know how this compares to interception-tools?[0]

Congrats on the funding Lev!

Just to say we're happy pgdog users here! One feature we quite like (of the proxy) is the handling of different connection settings per connection (i.e. statement_timeout). When we investigated RDS proxy (ages ago) it wasn't supported, I think the same was true for pgbouncer so it required a bunch of application changes. With pgdog, it just works transparently.

I disagree. It's definitely gotten worse, notification ads for my TV for example.

LG also didn't used to have home screen ads, but that's a long time ago now.

I'm really sick of the enshittification of smart TV's.

A while after I've had my LG TV, and found every arcane different menu you need to remove all the ads. They started sending me ads via the notification pop-up.

This continued even after finding and removing the consent for advertising (that I'd missed in one of the consent pop-ups.)

I've considered and looked into "dumb" TVs, but I don't think they're for me. I just want one that's not enshittified!

My guess is that Adafruit tried flux.ai, noticed a server misconfiguration, contacted flux about it, and then received a cease and desist to prevent them disclosing the vulnerability publicly.

(AFAICT they haven't published anything yet? If they have it's been taken down).

There's a definite bit of Streisand effect here because I for one am very much looking forward to finding out what the deal is.

I built a pi extension. Pi repo has an example extension that uses anthropics sandbox which is a total buggy mess. (To be clear, that's anthropics sandbox itself, not the pi extension wrapper which is fine)

I dug into it a little bit to see about improving things there, but decided to write a minimal version that better suited my needs instead.

That's what I came here to check. Last model release they only put it into preview[0] at first.

Does that mean this model is production ready?

This is what I want to know. Are there any consequences for this contractor? At least fraud or negligence or something?

I'd also be interested. Here is a comment from a couple of months ago where I was asking similar (with a link to an mcp that I haven't tried yet)[0]

Yeah, they said they used the API, but it sounds like they only did that for one of the examples?

The other examples were to eliminate some other ideas (guess based on topic etc). If be interested if all of those were done via the API since some level of information linking from the account is my best guess for how it got all of them.
