It's crazy to see the dialogue and justification everyone has been using around the banning of speech, protesting and use of force by the police in Sydney.

None of this should even be happening and people can't see that the more cheer for either side's punishment and demise, the more things are going to get worse for everyone.

To be clear, banning protesting is bad, banning speech is bad, calling for the death of anyone is bad and cheering on state driven violence is abhorrent.

If you want to make a difference, get involved with whatever political party you believe will make the difference you want. Don't go out in public and scream death to whatever.

Also, be consistent. You can't, on one hand, cry genocide for one group but ignore genocide perpetrated elsewhere by the people who fund the terrorist organisations that are central to the reason this all kicked off in the first place.

For example you can't be okay with the jailing or deportation of a neo nazi for online posts but then be fine with calling for the death of Israel. This is hypocritical.

The biggest issues in my opinion are, first and foremost l, Foreign influence in Australian politics. Blatant corruption and lying by politicians, we've been living through the worst reduction in quality of living in decades and they're taking us for a ride. People wailing about problems elsewhere with zero impact on Australians. We've got an ever increasing homeless problem, immigration that is out of control which does nothing except to inflate our housing market and enrich the geronotocracy.

The economic outlook for the short, medium and long term in Australia is the worst it's been for the last 40 years.

Australia's focus needs a reset and redirected to the actual issues that matter for Australians living here. We need a sharp shift back to libertarianism and pluralism. If we don't start to improve things soon we're heading for the same position as the UK is in and much of the EU. We don't have a constitution that embeds individual freedoms like the US does which means it's far easier for us to slide into Authoritarianism. What we are seeing now is not quite there but that's the direction we are heading.

Regan said this in his inaugural address in 1967 and it's as true today as it was then.
"Perhaps you and I have lived too long with this miracle to properly be appreciative. Freedom is a fragile thing and it's never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by way of inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people. And those in world history who have known freedom and then lost it have never known it again."

Global order is shifting, security isn't a guarantee. We need to look out for Australians first above all, we need to think about how we want to leave this beautiful country of ours for the future generations.

This is all going to take some difficult but honest and pragmatic conversations around what we think we are doing, with a focus on the outcomes because most of the outcomes don't benefit the people we want to help.

@Teknium Why give that info out for free though? Anthropic should be called misanthropic.

[baked beans @beans1990]

@Teknium Anything that has anything to do with security or biology gets blocked immediately, its a joke.

[baked beans @beans1990]

@0xSero Put it all on black

[baked beans @beans1990]

@0xSero Do you have Blackwell cards? I'd be interested to know how the nvfp4 quantized models perform unless you've already done them or are inclusive here.

[baked beans @beans1990]

@DanielW_Kiwi Are usernames human readable?

[baked beans @beans1990]

@m7jazin @TheAhmadOsman He is only saying this because other people he calls grifters use tailscale and he is bitter. There is nothing wrong with tailscale, trying to nerd shame people for their decisions is dumb and petty.

[baked beans @beans1990]

@ASAP_Pain_ @vxunderground Usury is now illegal.

[baked beans @beans1990]

@jpschroeder @dylan2045ad They are both security products. That's it. Everything else is different.

[baked beans @beans1990]

Anthropic are coming after hackers jobs now too. Computer work is finished everyone go home and take up wood working or something.

[Moritz Wallawitsch @MoritzW42]

holy shit - their api is leaking customer data

[baked beans @beans1990]

@HackingDave @HackingLZ I have one singular RTX 6000 Blackwell and I feel lucky. As a tech nerd I can only imagine you feel like a kid at Christmas who just unboxed a PlayStation. Enjoy the compute dude! Can't wait to see what you do with it

[baked beans @beans1990]

@navigare_LPT @Hikari_07_jp I have not noticed anything dramatic, I am slowly offloading ancillary tasks to the model. I've only had my card for less than a week. I'll try to run some tests this weekend, is there anything you would suggest I look for?

[baked beans @beans1990]

This is exactly the type of service that the industry, which is so full of FUD, desperately needs.

[Dave Kennedy @HackingDave]

Introducing a new side project called Model Regression. It tests daily Claude, GPT, and Grok on various benchmark statistics to determine how well its performing and to identify model degrades over time.

@edskoudis had an idea for model testing before they conducted offensive testing to ensure the model was performing as expected, and @BlasikRandy pushed me down this road with actually going and doing it.

The main intent here is the frontier models will experience outages, issues, bugs, intentional/unintentional nerfing of the models without notice. You can't typically trust day to day activities in these models for stability, so leveraging this on your daily routine to see how well the model is performing for that day is something I'll be using everyday.

Runs every morning in my DGX sparks environment and automatically updates with how well its performing.

Enjoy!

Also open-sourced the project, can run on your own server as well and look at the benchmarks and how they are calculated:

@DanielW_Kiwi Hahahahahahahahaha thank you

[baked beans @beans1990]

@Dr_Wobbegong @forager_gareth South Park actually did a documentary on how the Australian Government decides policy and valuation of things.

[baked beans @beans1990]

This is a big reason why the space-x valuation makes sense.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Starlink V3 satellites have >10X bandwidth of V2 and there’ll be >10X launched, which means >100X more bandwidth.

Also, altitude will be 350km vs 550km, so min latency can be cut in half.

Light travels 300km/ms in space, so physics round trip min latency drops to <5ms.

[baked beans @beans1990]

@Dr_Wobbegong @DanielW_Kiwi I fear the day my daughter will be like this. I'll probably ignore her and bear hug her with my dad strength.
