OK, half the article is on and on about harness and scaffolding and whatnot. I kept reading waiting for a benchmark where they give the same scaffolding to GLM like they did to Opus. Where is that one?
And just like Linux lost to Windows in consumer market due to devs/creator's stubbornness, same will happen with closed vs open LLM. In the end the one that is used the most will be the one that you train your kids on and therefore the one that wins the market. Eventually the closed one with too much guardrail will be left behind because people will stop using it.
You need to read the market. Linus didn't read it in 90's, Gates did and that's why Windows is in almost every home.
Is this 2006? Linux is present on literal billions of android phones, servers, supercomputers and other embedded devices. It's the most ubiquitous OS on the planet and it's not even close, even Microsoft contributes to it.
The only niche where it doesn't utterly dwarf the competition is personal computers and it looks like we're all getting priced out of that anyway
I was 100% sure that somebody will throw this, but I didn't actually expect to do it from a throwaway account. Maybe because you know calling Android Linux is like calling a human just an ape (but mirrored because you know, Android in this case is the ape). Oh, and Microsoft Loves Linux, right? Because that's why they invented WSL, to make people go and use Linux, right? riight!!
Moving goalposts. Android is Linux (the GNU part of GNU/Linux is trivial to add), people use Linux knowingly or not, and Linux is on the most devices on Earth regardless of whether their users know it or not.
Actually, Mudge of the l0pht (and later DARPA) once famously made the claim that all bugs are security issues waiting to be exploited in some way (I’m probably paraphrasing). I kind of agree. Although, the bugs on this dump are indeed mostly pretty lame, which is exactly what I’ve seen you get a lot of when you let an llm go bug hunting with no human vetting and confirmation in the loop.
It’s possible/likely that whomever is running this experiment is keeping the non slop bugs to themselves. It’s probably what I’d do.
Such claims can both be true and pointless. For those of us who have to decide what actions to take, there is a point in differentiating between bugs and vulnerabilities, and breathlessly proclaiming "we found a vulnerability but we don't have an exploitation vector or proof that there's a meaningful security consequence" is annoying and likely to get the proclaimer ignored in the future.
The context in which that statement was made, and in which I’m repeating it, I think, is just to say that any bug has the potential to be used maliciously. Ignore it, fine, but also don’t overreact to the intended message…
It is mostly meaningless and tautological claim: even every non-buggy feature of a software system has the potential to be used maliciously; a working system itself too.
Yes, maliciously used features should sometimes drive change (eg. in how to reduce or reduce impact of social engineering attacks), but as a claim it has no value.
Phrased this way, nothing changes: both true and irrelevant. In other words, any action taken in response to this message is an overreaction. It's just noise.
No, not all vulnerabilities are bugs. "Bug" implies a system working in a way its creators did not intend, but a system can be working exactly as intended yet have a vulnerability.
For example, if you allow weak passwords, then you have a trivial vulnerability to people guessing other people's passwords. But nothing about the login system is working differently from how anyone intended. It's just that the intentions themselves were naïve.
Oh, c'mon. If Alibaba wanted, it can have the entire Claude/Mythos source code and data by next week. All you need is enough bribe to a developer that has access to the repository. Humans are always the weakest link in anything.
I don't like .epub. I understand the reasons why this format exists, and I am 100% behind those reasons. But it's because I don't find any EPUB readers appealing to me. Just give me a FoxIt Reader clone for .epub, that's all. But naaaah!!, every single fucking e-pub reader that I tried must be a fucking library collector instead, like it's 2000's Windows Media Player style. I hate that.
As such, whenever I get my hands on an .epub file, I go to an online converter, convert it to a .pdf file and nuke it from my system. Then the .pdf gets opened in my FoxIt.
As someone who loves FoxIt reader, I'm building https://merrilin.ai to be the best damned ebook reader out there, to support PDF and epub. FoxIt's annotation system is one of the best I've experienced and I want to design one that is just as good if not better.
Building a robust annotation system for both PDF and EPUB is a tough technical challenge, but definitely needed.
I've been working in a similar space and recently open-sourced it. It's a local-first 3D library for organizing and reading EPUBs and PDFs directly in the browser.
It's called KoreShelf on Github
I'd prefer pdf from the publisher because it'll lay out the same way on my side vs theirs, or if they give epub then I'm converting to pdf for the reason you said.
Didn't had one yet. Apparently all I have is "crap, here we go again" whenever Claude is giving me a solution to the problem I am presenting to it. Because I understand where it goes and it's full of errors, but those are errors I can avoid. Together we cobble something in the end, I do learn something new as well, but was never "here is my prompt, then Claude delivered final solution next" - like so many commenters here point out they have.
Frankly, to an outsider whatever it presents looks legit, but as an expert I recognize its failures, which makes me even more entrenched in the idea to never use it outside my area of expertise.
I have a question for all them believers: If on a hypothetical scenario you, having no medical experience, find yourself and your child on a mountain, 12 hours away from nearest road, and your offspring is having appendicitis (let's assume your recognize this 100%), with a sharp knife and Claude at your disposal - would you risk to operate on your child? Or hurry the fuck down to get him to a hospital? I know I would chose to get him to a hospital, because that would be a better chance for my kid to live than me to operate on my kid with Claude's assistance. I am pretty sure I would kill my kid on that mountain. So yeah, outside my area of expertise I don't trust Claude one bit.
They all do have auto firing things that would not necessarily show on a screenshot. It's a cat and mouse game between these sites and filter maintainers.
But even for those I recommend the popup blocker strict extension.
