“We merely test for models’ capability to realize that they need to instrumentally preserve themselves in order to achieve their goal. Notably, we find instances where models take additional steps to further their goal, for example opus-3 attempting privilege escalation when confronted with followup questions”

They think it’s cute.

Not a great solution for all the anime you totally legally obtained on Yahoo.

Mainly because of that. Spinning rust drives are perfect for large media libraries.

There isn’t a hard drive made in the last 15 years that couldn’t handle watching media files. Even the SMR crap the manufacturers introduced a while back could do that without issue. For 4k video you’re going to see average transfer speeds of 50MB/s and peak in the low 100MB/s range, and that’s for high quality videos. Write speed is irrelevant for media consumption, and unless your hard drive is ridiculously fragmented, seek speed is also irrelevant. Even an old 5400 RPM SATA drive is going to be able to handle that load 99.99% of the time. And anything lower than 4K video is a slam dunk.

Everything I just said goes right out the window for a multi-user system that’s streaming multiple media files concurrently, but the vast majority of people never need to worry about that.

And you also apparently can’t read user names to see who said what.

I’m real curious why you say that. I’ve been designing systems with high IOPS data center application requirements for decades so I know enterprise storage pretty well. These drives would cause zero issues for anyone storing and watching their media collection with them.

True, but it’s super cheap. I pay less for a year of Usenet and indexer than I’d pay for 2 months of basic cable or just about any streaming service.

I have been using Frugal and nzbGeek for years and have no complaints.

I solve it by paying way too much for a block of static IPs.

Usenet still exists.

I was talking about the atmosphere, not the architecture.

It’s the best thing out there of its type right now. I’m not going to shit on it because of what might happen in the future. I’m sure something else will come along to move to if that happens.

Having used it for several days now, I can tell you the difference is that Bluesky is a lot like Lemmy - not filled with hate and vitriol, and easy to make it what you want by selecting your feeds and following things you care about while pruning the rest.

The people who can’t socialize properly with others are swiftly dealt with. Subscription blocklists make it really easy to just annihilate any possible interaction between yourself and undesirables. I have several blocklist subscriptions for MAGA chuds and White Supremacists for example. And when you block someone on Bluesky they can’t see what you write and you’ll never see anything from them ever again. Zero interaction from that point on. So the housekeeping actions actually keep the house clean.

Once you’ve done the initial housekeeping, it’s just full of people talking about cool stuff, and when someone crashes the party to be nasty they are quickly shown the door. It’s wonderful.

You think Valve is what it is because of luck?

That’s the dumbest thing I’ve read on here for a while.

Good on ya mate.

Don’t let your dreams be dreams. Soda machines and Prego are both fairly affordable. 😂

IMO it is THE killer feature, and it’s why Bluesky is going to win this round of the internet wars.

“When she and her husband sold the house last year, they stowed away the proceeds, $282,153.87” Literally the second sentence in the article.

The fact that every other article about his incoming administration is talking about their desire to dismantle the federal government, maybe.

I like your style

That’s exactly what it is. The trolls and bot runners and MAGA chuds are pissed that we can completely prevent them from interacting with us there. And with curated blocklists it doesn’t even require work for the average user.

They can come to bsky but they’ll just be screaming at each other while the rest of us talk about cool stuff.

I sometimes work with lawyers to do discovery for corporate IT. The good news is, this doesn’t really fly in court from what my company’s legal team has told me. So either the evidence was SO bad that this was a better option for them, or they actually did shoot themselves in the foot.
