They're talking like Amazon Bedrock doesn't exist, which is exactly the service which provides private data and processing for models including Claude.

But also they quite clearly have no idea how classified information systems work: air gapping is step 1 of that process, and no one from Anthropic would be working on those systems without a security clearance.

there is no private processing for recent claude models. there is no fable in IL5 or IL6.

bedrock IL5, nvidia, palantir and booz allen have all blocked fable.

anthropic is demanding that they rat out their customers on anything better than opus 5.

see: [thein.fo/4dekujW]

also, bedrock govcloud does both log and review customer data. specifically, they log and review customer data when it is flagged by their csam classifier.

That article is locked behind subscription. These are private companies, and presumably not running the model on their own systems but are using an interface to the model hosted on Anthropics machine I would presume. So their decision to decline is different from the us govt which will have gotten special privileges.

I was saying this morning that LLMs have given Star Trek the last laugh.

My software development process feels exactly like every debugging session in the holodeck that seemed terribly unrealistic to me.

I'm in SRE so systems reasoning is something of the value. But me writing code or even configuring stuff? That's dead. It is a total waste of time - Claude can do it better, faster and it works.

What the heck are you talking about? Basic grounding problem: who the god damn hell is going to be buying your AI compute from space if the situation on Earth has deteriorated that much? You know that place where 100% of your customers and the hostile legislative bodies would be.

> who the god damn hell is going to be buying your AI compute from space if the situation on Earth has deteriorated that much?

Militaries.

Ones that have to worry about local laws?

No it's also all the minor problems: lubricants don't flow the same, grease dries out on bearings, rocket launches shake the hell out of their payloads, the thermal differentials across a structure are enormous, vibration doesn't damp into the earth it just rings through the structure till it's lost as heat.

All solvable, but all difficult and unexpected problems which make everything about operating in space difficult.

And probably the biggest one: absolutely no possibility of service or cheap replacement (sure you don't repair a computer on earth, but you don't need a rocket launch to put a new rack in).

Sure. But radiating the heat isn’t a problem.

Permits are not costing as much as a space launch and all the extra costs associated with that environment.

If it's too expensive to outsource to another country, it's definitely too expensive to put in space instead.

Cost is one thing, the other is whether it will be permitted at all.

Then there's the power grid problem.

I understand expanding the grid takes a long time, thus the gas turbines. Which I understand are also supply-constrained, and environmentalists are not happy either.

I'm no scientist or financial analyst, but I could imagine that the space thing would be viable especially in a scenario where AI capabilities continue to grow.

If AI really does replace not only most knowledge work but also other labor via robotics, and this requires enormous compute, we are going to want to scale this up at a much faster rate.

Preferably without covering a tenth of the planet with gas generators.

Are we, though? Going to want to scale this up, I mean.

Unless economic systems around the world change significantly very soon, this AI replacement you so cavalierly mention would cause significant portion of human population to reach poverty, causing much unrest and mass deaths.

This is the problem with the world these days. People just don't care about anything anymore.

Temperature? Music? Defroster?

My 2004 Prius had AC, radio and defogger controls on the steering wheel. I could control all of it without taking my hands off the wheel.

The only notable thing I couldn't do was adjust the fan level if it was on automatic, but I could turn it off.

IMO if you might need it while driving it should be on the wheel or the stalks. Center console? That's for my passenger to mess with only, or for when I'm stopped.

I mean that's probably a perfectly nice solution too, it doesn't all have to be as physical controls on a center console. It just needs to be easily accessible physical controls which I can interact with through feel without taking my eyes off the road. As long as it's not on a touch screen and not those shitty haptic capacitive buttons I don't care whether it's on a steering wheel or on a center console

Too little too late. I bought a BYD Atto 2 this month and it's great.

My statements up till now were "yeah I'll get an EV when Toyota makes one" except here we are.

It is unbelievable how badly Toyota has fumbled the EV market.

The same physical location showing a different SSID every week but the surrounding ones not changing would be deanonymizing you much more aggressively.

People mostly don't change SSIDs or even move networking hardware - e.g. AirBnBs.

Edit: and also are you still carrying a smart phone while doing this? The device which has GPS and a cloud internet connection?

I'm more interested how this would effect providing VM graphics with migrations between hosts.

The dream would be put the user OS in a VM in a lab, and then be able to suspend and resume seamlessly if you need to push it to a new workstation, with locally accelerated graphics available.

We're nowhere near it. Article 5 is armed conflict between nuclear armed nations.

No one wants to go near that because everyone will reliably die.

There is absolutely no reason why triggering article 5 will end with nuclear annihilation, MAD doctrine remains in effect.
