Recaf 3X? 4X? Where's the next Recaf update?

https://t.co/XkeLT36DbX

[Matt Coley @invokecoley]

I would post more Recaf 4X updates like I do with the videos in discord, but they're all too long and can't be put up here...

Anyways, lots of cool stuff has happened since I last talked about it. And my 3 year old pin on 4X is laughably old now. Ought to make a new vid/pin.

@bot59751939 @atrupar Copium: He's investing in Raytheon & pals, and will award them the contract to build it. He'll cash out later after stock surges.

@infohazard_lol @ShimazuSystems If you had infinite time/funds, probably not, especially as models improve and are given specialized tooling for the job. But in the sense you can stall it so that a user can't do it in a single session? Yeah there's plenty of ways to make it reason itself out of tokens.

@lauriewired Duke enthusiasts, assemble!

Obviously this bill as a whole is bad/stupid, but someone in the replies pointed out the "other purposes" part of this bill.

...WHAT other purposes??

That is SUCH a grey area that would hand over an insane amount of power to the government??

@HSVSphere @NearestCommit Sorry, god king emperor Ron Pressler has locked Unsafe behind 2 trillion launch arguments and multiple std-err deprecation warnings.

The syntax for Dalvik bytecode is mostly done. We need to reconstruct our model from the AST in the assembler library, then clean up some syntax-highlighting in the front end.

[Matt Coley @invokecoley]

Reworked how Recaf handles Android content. We still don't have full assembler support but major strides in everything else have been made.

Yeah, so basically it turns out Meta has been heavily lobbying online age verification laws. They've lobbied over $2,000,000,000 to politicians in form of grants and donations.

It's rare I see someone defend online identification. I'm unable to tell if they're a troll, engagement baiting, or being sincere.

Let's discuss it.

Pardon my condescension, but if this is a sincere rebuttal, this person is the LeBron James of logical fallacies.

1. False analogy.

You cannot compare online identification to in person identification. Giving your ID to someone in person is a physical transaction in a controlled environment (bar, tattoo parlor).

The Internet is global and interconnected. Additionally, when providing your ID in person you're doing it for an exchange of a physical good or experience (bar, tattoo parlor).

Identifying yourself online is tied to SPEECH (e.g. social media).

Identifying at a bar is not the same as identifying yourself online.

2. False equivalency

Again, tying back to argument one, providing your identification for something like going to a bar is not the same as providing identification online. Social media, as an example, is a communication platform.

Examples provided: bars, alcohol, cigarettes, tattoos, guns, lottery tickets, ... This is not the same as needing identification for access to a social media site.

3. Loaded questioning

Rhetorical questions are trying to push the reader to assuming a logical conclusion that online identification is perfect.

4. Over simplification

Identifying everyone online is not a practical solution. This ignores local laws, federal laws, different governments having different laws, free speech laws, data privacy laws, THE COST of performing all of this.

Do people in the United States visiting a Brazilian website need to provide their ID to the Brazilian government? Do they have any jurisdiction? These are real questions.

5. Appeal to ridicule

Concluding your statement with "grow up" tries to shame me, or the reader, for disagreement.

These laws being suggested are far from perfect and serve no one. It will not protect children. The lack of clarity in laws makes people infer nefarious intent.

I like pictures of cats.

Think about the power Hegseth is asserting here. He is claiming that the DoD can force all contractors to stop doing business of any kind with arbitrary other companies.

In other words, every operating system vendor, every manufacturer of hardware, every hyperscaler, every type of firm the DoD contracts with—all their services and products can be denied to any economic actor at will by the Secretary of War.

This is obviously a psychotic power grab. It is almost surely illegal, but the message it sends is that the United States Government is a completely unreliable partner for any kind of business. The damage done to our business environment is profound. No amount of deregulatory vibes sent by this administration matters compared to this arson.

Anybody inside the American military establishment who thinks that wiring up an LLM via API to manage an air defense system is a remotely defensible engineering approach should be immediately fired because they are going to get people killed

[TheIntelFrog @TheIntelFrog]

Anthropic had 2 red lines for the use of Claude:

1. No autonomous killings
2. No mass surveillance of Americans.

Kind of strange for the DoD to frame those as having a "god complex" and that they want to "personally control the US military".

[vx-underground @vxunderground]

US Government: MAKE THE FUCKING KILLER ROBOT THING

Anthropic: We think that's unethical. We won't do that. All customers have the same Terms of Service for Claude

US Government: YOURE A FUCKING COMMUNIST AND YOU HATE FREEDOM

Has anyone done serious journalism tracking the networks behind this simultaneous push for all these digital ID laws in states all around the country?

Seems like one of the biggest stories of our time, even at a time of massive stories
