I've been using Opus 4.6-4.8 in both my own and others' code to look for vulnerabilities, and I've found a few. I am also in the Cyber Verification Program.

Fable 5 gives me policy violation errors at the moment. No idea when or if it will be fixed.

Just wanted to comment here: I have been using Opus 4.6, 4.7, and 4.8 just fine to look for Linux kernel vulnerabilities (I'm in the cyber verification program), and it's been fine. I switched to Claude Fable 5, and now I'm getting policy violations.

What's the point of being in the cyber verification program at this point? It looks like I cannot use Fable 5 for vulnerability research.

For everyone on an Intel MacBook, myself included, running Fedora 44 with t2.linux has been a breeze. About the only things not working are slow suspend/resume and a bit of a hacky workaround to fix the touchbar on resume (if you have one). Other than that, using the t2.Linux Fedora ISO has everything working right out of the box.

I was a teenager in high school around 2005 and living in the Midwest. There were lots of underage drinking and parties going on during that time.

That being said, most of it was "cool parents" that allowed such behavior because we didn't own anything as teens.

We would have rules like, if you're drinking there, you have to stay the night or call your parents to pick you up.

I think it was just a different time; it seemed more forgiving. Now, a cop will pull you over and give you a DUI and mess up your life for a while. But I heard stories back then ~ '70s, where cops would make sure a drunk person got home safely at night instead of throwing the book at them.

I am sure it is harder for kids today who mostly live online in their algorithmic bubbles. And harder for parents to condone such activity, because who wants to be the parent where cops come knocking on your door and charge you with supplying alcohol to minors?

To the people defending the reduction in Google's DEI program, I want to tell you that you are missing the point.

For some reason, they think DEI means some unqualified woman or minority is taking the position over someone more qualified. That is not the case.

DEI was created because corporate leadership structures were "the good old boys club" where less qualified people were hired because they knew someone or were related to someone in the company over a more qualified candidate.

Still today, qualified job candidates do not get calls back because their name sounds foreign. [1, 2]

There are many reasons why qualified candidates cannot even get into the interview process.

Fun little site that I think most of us have seen before! This is the first time I noticed it has a chat feature from the web console, which I thought was a pretty cool feature and something I have not seen before!

In the book, "This Is How They Tell Me the World Ends: The Cyberweapons Arms Race" or "Pegasus: How a Spy in Your Pocket Threatens the End of Privacy, Dignity, and Democracy" (sorry, I read both recently), the author describes an incident where when she got back to her hotel room one night her door was open, the safe was open, and her laptop was laying there. She did cybersecurity reporting and wed how some governments abuse spyware to spy on their citizens.

I imagine the target audience for this type of security would be journalists and cybersecurity researchers whom governments might target. I'm sure other jobs could use this information to protect themselves better.

Large government agencies can afford to design systems that probably do not need these requirements, and they also probably wouldn't have any sensitive information on any unattended device.

I see that there are walgreens in my area, but when I do it by zip I am getting

"We couldn't find any Walgreens/Duane Reade immunization locations in your area."

I'm assuming that means the vaccine isn't happening there? I only ask because I'm making a script to hit your website every hour and shoot me a text if something becomes available. But nothing will ever be available because it's not a vaccine site, correct?

Hello, on my actual account now that I'm on my computer. The answer to that is mostly I was overruled and leadership wanted to have a twitter and facebook feed on our website.

Hands are tied on those two things.
