The Home Assistant showcase looks fabulous.

Glad you liked it! That one was fun to build.

Is this what Anthropic meant with this blogpost https://www.anthropic.com/news/detecting-and-preventing-dist... ? Alibaba was not mentioned, though.

This is not Alibaba, just some rando fine-tuning a model released by Alibaba on Claude reasoning traces collected by other randos.

> mass __domestic__ surveillance is incompatible with democratic values

But mass surveillance of Australians or Danes is alligned with democratic values as long as it's the Americans doing it?

I don't think the moral high ground Anthropic is taking here is high enough.

Most of the people on this site have disturbing beliefs about politics. Shallow and contradictory but strangely aligned.

Yes most comments makes no sense to me. The statement basically both allows surveillance of non-american people and prevents imaginary LLM weapons (I highly doubt we'll see a LLM fully automating a weapon...)

There is no popular support whatsoever for reining in foreign intelligence collection or processing. Americans generally don’t care about things that don’t affect them when it comes to policymaking (or the richest country in the world would do something meaningful about the 20k that die every single day from lack of access to fresh water).

If it ain’t repeatedly on the news and designed explicitly to scare and agitate then really people DGAF.

But at least they're taking _some_ stance. Yes, it could be higher, but it's better than nothing, and requires courage

It is time to rewatch Terminator 2.

Not really. Giving the weather forecast or playing music seems pretty low risk to me.

Siri doesnt make me unlock the phone to give a weather report.

Americans consumer may continue to buy European goods at a higher price, but that's only roughly a third of the pie. The bigger part is European firms selling intermediate goods and capital goods to companies. There is not fuzzy preference in that marked, it's very cost driven. The extra tarif will tilt the balance heavily in favour of domestic producer.

And these tarifs will not go away quickly. Those domestic producers who benefited will lobby hard to keep them, no matter who sits in the white house.

Companies can buy exceptions and carve outs from Dear Leader

ASML would likely get an exception

Such a great name for a humorous project. My wife rated it 'very cool'. I think I finally found a reason to connect a display to my HA. Thank you for sharing.

We use the CO2 to synthesize methanol with the H2 we electrolyze using surplus solar energy. The methanol we burn in winter for heat. Yes, that releases the CO2 again. The goal here is not to save the planet. It is to bring solar energy to winter. My house produces many times the electricity that it needs per year, but most of it is wasted in summer. Efficient conversion is not a factor. If I can get 20% of the energy input back as heat in winter, it is worth it: that is oil or wood I don't have to burn for heat.

ChatGPT is totally fluid in German and French (i.e.), their market size is my no means limited to the anglosphere.

Totally. It's miserable. We are watching cycling through HBO max at the moment, where it is still affordable. We get on TNT for the TdF because Rob Hatch. Surely it will go down the drain even further when the Ellisons get it.
