Is there either a really good intro to Dan Lyke / comment 0
Is there either a really good intro to Rust's libcosmic, or a better/more mature widget set for Rust that isn't Qt?
I'd love something lightweight, but a table that doesn't appear to have edit in place capabilities, or truncate/wrap for long fields, seems... more archaic than I want.

SMS with a verification code from a 5 Dan Lyke / comment 0
SMS with a verification code from a 5 digit phone number I don't recognize. Moment of panic, then I search for the number and discover it's the Safeway Rewards login process.
Sorry, evildoer, you will not hijack my grocery coupons today!

3 sentenced in 'unbelievable' bear attack insurance scam:
But the video and photos from the scene didn’t look quite right. During the investigation, detectives sent the footage to a biologist from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, who “concluded the animal shown was clearly a human in a bear suit,” according to the news release from the California Department of Insurance. The team then realized similar claims had been made about damage to two Mercedes vehicles.
The news release includes a link to a Flickr image set that includes a picture of the bear suit. No human in it, alas.

Which links to Pure Genius (dot) Education, which is brilliant.
Oh eeenteresting Google's models Dan Lyke / comment 0
Oh eeenteresting: Google's models respect Anthropic's poison pill constants. At work we just tried to use the Gemini API to summarize Flutterby, and it kept throwing errors.
Bwahahahaha!

best part about this little bit of Dan Lyke / comment 0
The best part about this little bit of irony from this thing that's apparently just reskeeting anything with "AI" in it, and is likely just a bad reselling of someone else's LLM API, is that the link on their home page to their pricing is 404.

Fun little thread on the Utah teapot of computer graphics.
LLMs have so poisoned the concept of Dan Lyke / comment 0
LLMs have so poisoned the concept of "AI" for me that I automatically assume any pitch involving the phrase is bullshit, even if there might actually be reasonable machine learning behind it.
(This particular musing brought to you by email from NoamAI, no link 'cause I'm not sure if it's legit.)

OR: There will be no WW3. They’ve abandoned numbered releases and switched to a live service model with seasonal events.
Mythos/Glasswing news of the morning Dan Lyke / comment 0
David Chisnall (*Now with 50% more sarcasm!*) @david_chisnall@infosec.exchange has "A few notes about the massive hype surrounding Claude Mythos", and points out that Anthropic apparently isn't using it on their own code: Beyond Machines: Anthropic Claude Code Leak Reveals Critical Command Injection Vulnerabilities.
Vidoc Security: We Reproduced Anthropic's Mythos Findings With Public Models.
Anthropic framed Mythos and Project Glasswing as proof that frontier AI vulnerability research now needs gated access. We tested the public, patched cases with GPT-5.4 and Claude Opus 4.6 and found that the key building blocks are already accessible outside Glasswing, while reliable operationalization remains the real moat.
This thread that has a lot of good resources stemming off of AISI: Our evaluation of Claude Mythos Preview’s cyber capabilities.
Coding with customer support bots Dan Lyke / comment 0
Bwahahahaha: AI token freeloaders are coming for your customer support chatbot
“A normal customer service interaction of ‘Where’s my order? What are your hours?’ runs maybe 200 to 300 tokens. Someone asking the bot to reverse a linked list in Python is generating more than 2,000 tokens easy. That’s roughly a 10x cost multiplier per session,” says Nik Kale, member of the Coalition for Secure AI (CoSAI) and ACM’s AI Security (AISec) program committee.
