It's not so simple. They was actually "interviewed" by these guys last week.

The "recruiter" asks the candidate to clone a GitHub project and open it using Cursor. It doesn't look like you're running anything. You're just opening a project file.

The Cursor installation is legit (downloaded from the official location) and the GitHub repository is 99% source-code so it doesn't look harmful. The problem is that the repository contains a Cursor-specific configuration file that downloads and runs a binary when the project is opened.

These AI tools are not very smart, to say the least. In any case, luckily my antivirus blocked the operation; otherwise, I wouldn't have noticed.

I live in Quebec, Canada and I happen to agree with you 100%. I am tired of subpar "Canadian content" being shoved down our throats. If I want it, I'll pay for it.

Anthropics remains a toxic, opaque company that treats its customers with disdain. They change usage limits and terms of use regularly without informing users, banning users for life without explaining the cause.

The competitors might not be much better, but at least they seem to be more transparent. We better hope that Anthropic does not win the AI race without a change of policies.

The same approach can (and is) being done to closed-source software. This can result in more open-source software. It's just a matter of choosing what you want to tackle.

There is nothing advanced about Anthropic's mysterious model. People who have seen it have reported it produces tons of junk vulnerabilities that are not realistic to exploit. Plus, they recently intentionally dumbed-down their public models to make Mythos look amazing in comparison when they got public. This is just PR bullshit.

The fact that you get so upset over something as pointless as politics says more about your mental health than theirs...

What's the difference betweenthe Infinite Monkey Theorem and Neural Network Training? Granted, one has a fitness function that helps it move in the right direction but given an infinite amount of time should that really matter?

The entire concept behind a centralized world government is a disaster. The majority of the UN is made up of corrupt or failed states. That's nothing we should aspire to.

I live in Canada... I can tell you from first-hand experience that gun and stabbing-related homocides are way up over the past decade. My own children were exposed to gun violence while biking down the street of a very quiet suburban neighborhood... It's quite scary.

It doesn't matter how much you criminalize gun ownership... the criminals are still finding a way to get their hands on it. To make matters worse, I have yet to hear of anyone getting arrested for these attacks.

With respect to health care, people are literally dying waiting for treatment or being denied treatment altogether because it isn't cost-effective (per government judgement) to treat them. It's universal healthcare... but it's universally bad.

Is it better or worse than the US? I'm not sure. But you should be aware that it's very very bad. No one seems to have figured out how to fix the healthcare problem, worldwide.

If more people were using https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwiki.mercurial-scm.org... then you'd never need to run away from git's horrible command-line. Mercurial's command-line is multiple orders of magnitude more intuitive and easier to use.

Nothing gets sold by Israel to China without the US's approval. Many weapon sales and port administration contracts have been rejected for this reason.

Every once in a while, the US throws China a bone, but it's never anything meaningful. Besides which, there are plenty of US firms that do business in China with the US' approval.

Remind me, how many Arab people are targetted by Jews worldwide? Thought so...

It works like this: Arabs slaughter non-Muslims, immediately blame the victim for doing what they just did, victim complains, Arabs complain of Islamaphobia.

Folks... There was a ceasefire on October 6th. Just like every single time before then, Arabs broke the ceasefire, went in to massacre civilians and then cried foul when Israel responded.

And for those of you who claim that Israel has hurt Arabs prior to October 7th, do your research.... this has nothing to do with occupation or land. Arabs have been massacring Jews for *decades* prior to 1948. Look up the Hebron Massacre for one of many example.

Palestine was never a country. It was the name given by the Romans to the land that used to house the Kingdom of Israel, Judea and Samaria. Look it up in the history books and see for yourselves.

I don't know what you're referring to exactly. Israelis have more children because they are (surprisingly) one of the happiest nation on earth and is very kid friendly. Young children kids walk around unsupervised and they are quite safe. If you were to try the same thing in North America, someone would call child services on you :)

The country is quite parent-friendly as well. You get long maternity leave and daycares are reasonably affordable.

In my experience, AWS services *always* bill you exponentially more than you'd expect. Their pricing model is full of hidden fees and fees you have no control over.

Sure. Who will freeze the doctors' salaries?

Labour makes up the vast majority of the cost, and no one wants to take a pay cut.
