I have a Logitech g502, so I have 2 extra buttons next to m1 and 3 on the side. Quick melee is always on a side button as well lol. Holding middle mouse to aim grenades always feels awkward to me because of the roll, and that’s always been my first switch to fail on pretty much every mouse I’ve ever owned. I honestly think it’s the single worst physical key to bind an action to in a video game from a tactile perspective.
In super fast paced fps shooters I usually use G, but that’s just because of muscle memory going back to like Half-Life 1/CS1.6. I tried swapping to a side button for my grenades in the finals and it was not viable for me at all lol.


Shit, 17 days apart lol. Did you also get a copy of Half-Life 2 for Christmas?



I just rebound the grenade button from middle mouse to a side mouse button. Middle mouse is a dumb default bind for anything.
Contraceptives and easy access to them are definitely a big part of it. The largest factor in birth rates is access to education for women. Higher levels of schooling lead to delayed marriage, later childbearing, and fewer total children.

It’s tradition, you just wouldn’t understand. Even if students are cheating we just have to stick to our traditions, the students will fall in line eventually.


Just fyi the Fed is most commonly used to refer to the Federal Reserve. I was very confused as to why the economist people needed submarines for a second.


I just meant that they’re just us-east-1 racks, that the facility wasn’t built for AI specifically in the way that most people are probably going to assume given the past couple years. I don’t know what’s in there rack by rack, building by building either. There is a good chance that if you spin up Opus 4.7 in Bedrock it could be in these buildings.


If anyone’s curious, this is the AWS Tanner Campus. It’s right across the street from the official, marked on the map location for AWS’s us-east-1, and they are all IAD- buildings, so they’re part of what makes up the us-east-1 AWS region. The project was announced as early as 2020.
It consists of four single-story data center buildings spanning nearly 800,000 square feet, which are supported by a massive 192-megawatt electrical substation and backup diesel generators.
As others here have said, this is not an “AI” data center, it’s a data center that runs massive swathes of the internet as we know it. Either way it’s fucked that they’re approved to build this shit right behind peoples houses. They are right across the street from a regional airport, so maybe that areas zoned commercial? It’s definitely a weird area in general. Driving down prince william parkway you’re seeing tons of straight industrial support shit, like metal shops and construction supply stuff and warehouses with performance car shops with dynos and everything, then you just hit houses.
It was probably zoned back when nobody ever thought anyone but the rednecks already out there would live that far outside the beltway, but now commuting from Manassas/Gainesville into DC or somewhere else inside the beltway is normal, and they’re building houses where they never thought they’d be building.
Again though, fuck Amazon and Prince William County for assaulting these people like this.


If you’re submitting a vulnerability to a public repo, that’s also your job. These slop reports that are wasting maintainers time should never have been reported. The person tasking the LLM is out of their depth and can’t be the human in the loop that verifies the vulnerability report before submitting because they don’t have the required knowledge to do that. It’s a shame, because if people who had the requisite knowledge were the ones submitting, the ratio of valid reports to noise would be way higher than 5% and open source maintainers wouldn’t be feeling burned the fuck out.


I’ve been fucking around with using Claude to solve CTF challenges. I’m using a harness built out of a custom agent I wrote that progressively loads specific a specific skill for the challenge category, cryptography, binary exploitation, reverse engineering, forensics, etc.
It’s solving the simple shit in <1m using sonnet. It’s solved some shit that I couldn’t figure out at all during the CTF in the time limit we had in ~20 minutes. There’s been 2 challenges that after about 25 minutes I’ll kill the agent working on it, change to opus, then opus solved them in about 20m. One crypto challenge was so math heavy i never would have figured it out. One bin exp challenge didn’t provide a local binary, everything was remote. There was a catch that I never would have solved bc it was remote only and I couldn’t locally debug it.
It’s fucking scary good at solving these things. I just prompt with “use <agent> to solve ./category/challenge/“ and it fully just does everything. It’s definitely akin a fuzzer that can be used for way more than just finding crashes and memory leaks. It takes some work and understanding to make it context/token efficient I think, but it lowers the bar so tremendously that I definitely see why there’s concern here. And again it’s solving most of these things with sonnet, not even opus and definitely not fable.
All told, this feels like the same panic that happened when metasploit first got released/demo’d at defcon back in the day.
When you first set it up you sign into your iCloud, which has your home address right? And in think it asks for zip code during setup also. It’s definitely happening, and I love it. Snow is the best.


I’d argue that someone who doesn’t understand all the words in that post received a lower than average education. What specific words do you think wouldn’t be universally understood by someone with an “average to mid-high” education?


This is why China wants Taiwan. It’s a serious enough concern that ASML installs kill switches in the machines they sell to TSMC


I thought the thorn broke AI though.


This guys fucking lying. How do I know? Because I am Chris.
Also wtf does this have to do with self hosting?
Edit - oh he’s just spamming shit


Wait, hasn’t the EU also been pushing for mandatory scanning of people’s messages FoR tHe cHiLdrEn?
Or were they just pushing for a backdoor in the encryption to enable selective scanning at a massive scale?


This has the same energy as some medieval shit, a Protestant king ordering his army into a catholic monastery and burning all the books type shit. I’m here for it.


I saw some vid thumbnails a day or two ago that were talking about his mods eating him alive or something, so I’m not sure what all that more recent drama is about. I am current on his shitty dev abilities and his stupid self insert game unfortunately.
It’s not looking for stuff like you’re describing, skeletons, graves, birds, whatever spoopy “dark” stuff you put on there. It’s looking for nude people, then actioning/alerting if it thinks minors are in the images. You definitely don’t want to honeypot this ai bro.
