> For Fable 5, Mythos 5, and future models on Bedrock with similar or higher capability levels, Anthropic will require 30-day retention for all traffic on Mythos-class models. Reta…

I think this might have been true in the past, but I don't think it is true any longer. Zoom grew at a wild pace during the early days of the pandemic, and with that came security …

Thanks for the detailed reply! The Greaseweazle looks good and is inexpensive. I think I’ll get one. :)

I have a bunch of 3.5" floppy disks from my BBC Master, which date back to late early 90s. Will the data on them still be ok? If I bought a Kryoflux or similar device would I be ab…

This was fun. :) I feel like there should be another scoring axis rather than just time. I think selector length would be wrong, but something like selector complexity, or how robu…

Excited about Caido! Been waiting on the beta list for a while!

In 2017 I found a security issue with the Tesco website. It was a minor security issue, but I could see they had _attempted_ to stop people doing what I could do. I did manage to f…

Yes, I understand that, but how do I _know_ if I am using this functionality? In this case, it is the ability for an app to install and execute arbitrary code that hasn't been revi…

I agree - I'd also be opposed. I understand why it frustrates people (especially in the cases such as iDOS 2), but it was a known factor for me buying an Apple phone. More importan…

In Information Theory, there is a concept of Channel Capacity. If a channel is defined as the probability of the output being s if you send a , across all possible values of a , th…

Hah - thank you for sharing! That is very interesting that this emerged from two different approaches. I published my result years back, and have never heard of this emerging elsew…

The approach I used was similar. The idea of maximising observed control of the world means you seek states where you can reach many other states, but _predictably_ so. This comes …

Sure! The PDF is available here: https://uhra.herts.ac.uk/handle/2299/15376

Yes, you are right. I experimented with different time horizons, mostly look 3-7 steps ahead. In terms of the 'reward', that was implicit within the model - if the ghosts caught yo…

Yes! Exactly - kiting. I didn't know the term but when I explained the behaviour I was seeing to a colleague they told me about this.

The method was called 'empowerment'. Two ways to explain it... From a mathematical perspective, we used Information Theory to model the world as an information theoretic 'loop'. Th…

Similar story of unexpected AI outcomes... As part of my PhD research, I created a simplified Pac-Man style game where the agent would simply try to stay alive as long as possible …

Alas, that isn't as true as German's tell me it is, I find. "Weg" "Geh weg" (go away) "Der Weg ist da drüben!" (the path is over there)
