So they mean to strike those companies with a presence in the middle east? Surely they don't think they can hit US mainland?

Yes, they certainly mean they will attack those companies facilities in the region.

Yeah their nerve cells are much larger. The axons of a giant squid are up to a millimeter in width.

Turning a military building into a girl's school, and then having this school right next to other military buildings - is this something that happens often? Or were there ulterior motives behind it?

Yes, the US has 160 schools on military bases:

Yeah man. Who's ever heard of a military base with a school on, or near it besides every military officer with a family ever?

It can't be worse than gemini-cli using a Pro account.

Oh really? Do they have availability problems too?

Gemini CLI has been broken for the past 2-3 days, with no response from Google. Really embarrassing for a multi-trillion dollar company. At this point Codex is the only reliable CLI app, out of the big three.

Last time I tried it a single prompt ran for over an hour, mostly doing nothing/waiting on availability.

It appears like the 'self-improving' here just means modifying the agent's prompt/context? And not actually changing any of the weights/architecture of a model. I feel like this kind of self-improvement has some hard limits on how much it can improve.

Definitely isn't perfect and has limitations, but if the goal of predictable outcomes in a dynamic environment at scale it's more feasible than creating fine tuned models for every little thing and allows for context-based model performance benchmarking.

For me it is "Decoding Escher's most mind-bending piece"

Same for me and this is why I had not clicked on it before.

I think some players like xAi and Google can burn money for a long time. Google made $240B profit last year

What a silly filter, blocking all xn domains

That whole feature is kind of paragraph 22. No legit/popular site uses it so users don't expect national characters in domain names, so no one actually hosts sites using "xn-" domains.

It may be true in the US, but don't lots of domains in Asia use xn-?

Kind of an interesting history to this kind of url: https://www.nic.ad.jp/ja/dom/idn.html

Shrug. First time I'd seen this. If it displayed as the original text it would have been clearer.

It would make it hard to spot impostor domains like "news.усомbiнаtor[.]сом" if it was. There's enough inertia for FQDNs to be strictly ASCII and any UTF-8(outside ASCII) in domain names to be felt unnatural for an URL, so most systems default to the raw "Punycode" xn-- scheme for all IDNs.

Safari at least shows the proper マリウス.com - I believe it has more complicated heuristics that boil down to "if it looks like a real script, show it, if it looks like some mangled English, show the xn-"

In this case yes but it's meant as a punycode scam prevention where common Latin alphabet letters are swapped for similar looking alternatives.

Verified derp moment - had me smiling


I went to read the advisory post and chose double clicking it from Finder instead of vim for whatever reason. I was actually on a call with my manager as it happened, I had time to watch my computer start to freeze up again and say my goodbyes before the inevitable hard reset!

I can recommend powerlevel10k with instant prompt enabled.
