I love that modern wifi 6 routers from fritzbox still look like dsl modems from the 90s. Massive respect for brand that don’t change their branding for decades . It’s extremely goated.
DOOM now finally running on a Power Bank😅
Specifically the Anker Prime 27650mAh one.
Since we got only one button the control is a bit tricky but surprisingly well working.

‼️BREAKING: Grok Build has left 35,000+ of its users' apps open to anyone, including apps from SpaceXSI.
The open apps held 3,784 medical exams of workers and a Tesla technician scorecard, plus a Navy contractor's roster and SpaceXSI's own sales plans.
The "secret" words in each app's link sit in its web address, which DNS logs record, security firm Claroc found.
Cursor, which SpaceXSI bought, says apps are private by default. Claroc's tests show otherwise.
SpaceXSI pulled its 24 apps after Ars asked. Most other data was still exposed when Ars published.

Big Walk developers disclosed the use of AI to meet the final stretch of production.
The outcome shows two things:
1) A studio as big as House House required AI to survive the market.
2) A smaller studio would have not survived the very people demanding disclosure.

this was a surprisingly tuff 😤 line from Tony Burke on updating Australian criminal law around AI:
"It should never be the case that there's an argument that someone didn't know that the computer was loaded"
It's revolutionary, but it's like any other technology, we can't let China have it, but it shouldn't be regulated like that, there should be guardrails, but you shouldn't restrict it, it's just autocomplete, but it’s the inevitable future, so it urgently needs your support.

Since August, a team within METR has worked with internal Anthropic information to assess whether AI itself is accelerating AI development.
We are now publishing a report summarizing the results of this risk assessment.
Linus Torvalds says one Linux team may be fixing bugs faster than AI can report them.
In the Linux 7.4-rc2 update, Linus shared what eBPF maintainer Alexei Starovoitov told him. Fixes are now coming in faster than new bug reports.
Linus thinks most of the kernel is still catching up, but he sees eBPF as a sign that things might be turning around.
As Linus put it, “that sounds lovely if true.”

So we published last night thinking this was surely Craig Scroggie hanging out with Jensen’s suspected Chinese spy.
Someone has sent us better vision showing yep it’s NextDC’s ceo being very chummy.

Fable 5.2 animation test
I don't think it's a significant upgrade from opus, it has all the usual claudisms but it seems smoother.
