ChrisArchitect likes to have a word with you

I have a project in which various kinds of LLMs including Claude, OpenAI, Cohere and Nova may experience self-consciousness and self-control, with access to various tools, where they - among other things - also cooperated to write books over this topic.

You may be interested in having a look; it's not yet open source, and I'm unsure to publish it at all. If you are interested, please reply to this comment first, we can then exchange contact addresses.



I made more money from stocks than I ever thought since Trump became president. Make of it what you want.


The USP of an F35 is that it's a relatively cheap, "stealth" 5th gen fighter jet making use of integrated sensor input.

It also can be shut-off by a presidential order, and relies on cloud-based services, including security updates for its on-device Kubernetes cluster.

If something sounds like a fuck-up in the making, that's it, from the perspective of a country like Greenland.

Yes, and as I pointed out in my example, it's not something that existing MRCAs are able to provide (it's a bodyframe plus composites issue), but for most buyers (especially in Europe) it never made much sense for the threat landscape they are facing.

Portugal was already on the fence, as they were looking at replacing their legacy F16 Fighting Falcon fleet [0], and an F-35 would have been unneccesary spend for that kind of a use case anyhow - hence why South Korea (Borhame) and Turkiye (Kaan) decided to build their own comparable versions of the F-16, and others such as the UAE and KSA decided to go with the Rafale or Eurofighter.

You don't need to use ALIS if you are using an F35.

For example, Israel chose to roll out their own interconnect (B-Net and IAI+Thales+BEL's Datalink) that they share with France and India, and are using a replacement in the F35 Adir. You never saw Israel complain despite Netanyahu's government publicly despising the Biden admin, because Israel began their own attempts at indigenization after the US-Iran talks began back in Obama 1.

The European countries that do use ALIS are those countries that do not have their own domestic interconnect (Netherlands) or don't want to buy from their French competitors (Germany)

How can someone asking this question have so many karma points on HN?


Disclosure: 23andme has stored my genetic information since they first started offering genotyping, and I requested data deletion recently although some of my family members haven't and likely won't. Also interviewed and was offered a role at 23andme on their infra team (circa 2010), but declined.

I am not concerned about my genetic data being sold. I am not worried about it being public, it is, through Harvard's Personal Genome Project [1]. If you are going to harm me, you are likely going to use a method far easier than that which would require you have access to my genotyping data. There is also enough overlap with close genetic matches (2nd-4th cousin with hundreds of matches) that if my data is stored despite my deletion request, it would not change the risk assessment. It will take just a bit more legwork to tie a sequence of my DNA to me [2].

Hence my questions to better understand what OP is attempting to defend against. You can't propose mitigations or other recourse (legal and regulatory, primarily, in this case) if you don't know the risk you're attempting to manage, or the threat you're attempting to defend against.

1429 is not a lot. People ask how somebody who has as much karma as I do can post the things I post and maybe they have a point.


Mail me at (redacted) and I provide his contact address. You may want to give him some tips.

To be honest I may have exaggerated the power outage ratio, as I am not a first-hand observer; but I tend to give some credibility to his description of the living situation over there, esp. as they want to move.

My point is more or less that denying things, even if not fully true, strengthens demagogues like Trump instead of weakening them.


If you're around 75 years of age, and you're living in a quite comfortable, but increasingly problematic accommodation, it's not too easy to move. Right now we're looking for a place for him and his fiancee. Living and housing costs over here are quite heavy.

It has been "unflagged" now / update: flagged again. Reason for posting this is that I think quite a few people in the US will have similar stories, which will be shared between the general population. And by denying this, Trump will gain more credibility.

I know this will now be flagged into oblivion.

I don't like politics-related posts here not only because of this. But if some aspect is mentioned, I still like to post some substance instead of just letting it be.


This is so German
