I work for a completely unrelated fed agency, who doesn’t use Anthropic products, and we all received the email stating we couldn’t use them period.
Huh, does supply-chain risk mean SecDef can bar a company from all federal contracting?
I have no idea but this went out to all fed agencies from what I could tell looking at the subreddit for fed employees. I was surprised by the notice because my agency does not have a contract with them and obviously we can’t just use any LLM provider.

Correct. And this quickly expands out into most companies in the US as the federal government uses and buys a huge amount of software. A component that you make and sell to X, that is used in Y, which is bundled up in Z that had Anthropic used on it can't be used by the fed.gov.

I’m guessing most cases of loose/lose switch happen when English isn’t someone’s first language.
Indeed, but other languages have been around forever whereas I've seen this particular misspelling a ton in the last year and rarely before that.
I haven’t noticed the same trend.

#276This article can be summarized as "two anonymous sources say NSA uses Mythos." It's unfalsifiable and nothing of substance is reported. How the fuck do these people get paid to produce this slop

Mythos is most certainly not hype. I think it might be the agent with most agency as of today (ability to get really difficult shit done on its own). I believe that it most certainly is not hype. A realization just struck me that guarding the model weights (which are probably in the realm of a few TB) should be of utmost importance. Essentially - having access to them and a small NVIDIA cluster is all it takes for an…
>pulling that off by gaining access to the weights This was a point in the AI 2027 videos you see on youtube. That model weights would be a subject of active attack by nation states and that governments would start requiring AI companies to treat them like munitions when securing them.

The most surprising thing about watching the Trump trainwreck has been in how spineless he is about any personal ideological conviction. He cares about perceptions of him. He cares about power and money. But past that it's literally... whoever was last in the room with him. Which in this case was obviously Palantir. And 50 days ago was Hegseth.
It was his selling point. The people who voted for him don't care that he has no ideological conviction. They like that he is instinctively against "liberals". It just so happens that those are the people giving him less money and groveling. The low-brow term for this is "owning the libs", but I believe it's really what's happening. It doesn't matter his personal moral failures or inconsistency, as long as he sets ba…
That feels like too reductive of a distillation and conveniently excises the necessity of examining his supporters' grievances for legitimate ones.
He was elected by a broad coalition of conservative-ish stakeholders, many of whom had very coherent and enunciated goals.

> This puts the US government into a loose / loose position. You might even call it... a tight spot
Side note, how did the word "lose" become "loose"? I've seen this so many times on HN.
And let’s not get started on it’s vs. its-—a distinction that now seems irretrievably nerfed

THIS administration? As if we just arrived here in 2024?
