[Anthropic] A hacker used Claude Code to automate ransomware
Sune18d10

Are you also against online banks?! Or are you somehow only hoping for advancements in hacking that breaks confidentiality but not integrity?

that woman who was jailed longer than the rapists she insulted



I believe this is not an honest description of the case. Even the simple investigation of this, that I did by following the link, suggested that the woman was jailed for a weekend because of a previous theif, and for not attending and court hearing. All the defendants of the rape case got youth sentences of at least a year. 
I’m strongly downvoting your post. I hope you understand that this is not because I want to censor your political views, but because I want information on less wrong to not be misleading.

Emotions Make Sense
Sune1mo40

This posts argues that all emotions “makes sense” in some games theoretical sense. I wonder if it is possible to state this clearer and give a game theoretical definition of emotion. If so, it would be interesting to see if there are any “theoretical emotions” that has not been observed in humans. 
Just like there are electromagnetic wave lengths we cannot see and gasses we cannot smell, maybe there are game theoretical emotions we cannot intuitively feel.

LLMs for language learning
Sune8mo70

I use ChatGPT and Claude to try to learn Macedonian, because there is only very little learning material available for that language. For example, they can (with a few errors sometimes) explain grammatical concepts or give me sentences to translate. I have not found a good way of storing a description of my abilities and weaknesses across conversations, but within a conversation they are good at adapting the difficulty of the questions to the quality of my answers. 
Unfortunately I’m not aware of any tools that can pronounce or transcribe Macedonian. 

Edit: I still do most of my language learning using Anki, Google translate and a book for learning Macedonian. Probably because using LLMs is not sufficiently gamified and because of the small inconveniences having to ask for questions instead of simply doing one exercise after another.

What is the definition of a Dyson Swarm? Is it really easier to define, or just easier to see that we are not there, only because we are not close yet?

When Is Insurance Worth It?

That is assuming you live sufficiently long. The point in life insurance is to make sure you leave something for your kids/spouse if you die soon.

How Often Does Taking Away Options Help?

Why does the plot start at 3x3 instead of 2x2? Of course, it is not common to have games with only one choice, but for Chicken that is what you end up with when removong one option. You could even start the investigation at 2x1 options.

Vernor Vinge, who coined the term "Technological Singularity", dies at 79

The alcor-page was not updated since 15th December 2022, where a person who died in August 2022 (as well as later data) was added, so if he was signed up there, we should not expect it too be mentioned yet. For CI latest update was for a patient dying 29th February 2024, but I can’t see any indication of when that post was made.

Succession
Sune2y32

My point is that potential parents often care about non-existing people: their potential kids. And once they bring these potential kids into existence, those kids might start caring about a next generation. Simularly, some people/minds will want to expand because that is what their company does, or they would like the experience of exploring a new planet/solar system/galaxy or would like the status of being the first to settle there.
