Lapsed mathematician here. I read this thread and then again and still don't know what to think about it. I know someone who spent four decades trying to prove or disprove the Jacobian conjecture (#105 on the list) and then Claude came along and found a counterexample (in dimensions three and up).

Honestly the original by Wes Anderson was much better.

“Fanboys of vehicles”? I mean that’s how I’d describe this if I had never seen the movie, didn’t know what the toys were, and had only a vague understanding of “cars” and “trucks”.

Unless they brought poop in a bag in advance, in which case their meeting with "Q" must've been really weird. "James, for this assignment, you're going to need...this..."

Say what you want but if I had just broken into a foreign MP's house and, if caught, I knew I'd face jail, a prisoner swap, and public humiliation, I'd really have trouble relaxing enough to do the deed. That's some impressive work, honestly.

There’s something interesting and very slightly anachronistic about reading “Gödel, Escher, Bach” now.

I’m also not super impressed by this “0day”. IIUC, a local attacker who can execute code on your machine can reconfigure Muse to send audio to an attacker-controlled endpoint. But…they’re a local attacker who can execute code! They can just install spyware themselves!

Please don't install - it's trivial to turn Muse into the ultimate backdoor 💀👀 Ya, as an AI assistant built to manage your Mac, Muse needs broad access to your digital life. But serious 0-day flaw(...

I might be wrong or misunderstanding, but I think KVM is used by quite a number of cloud compute providers who—mild shock—let users have root on their VMs. So KVM is a security boundary for a ton of existing platforms. Again, not sure why this is unique to Muse.

I’m not a big Facebook fan, but “last minute push for security audit and bugfixes” is, like, pretty much how it works in the industry, for better or worse. I don’t see this as evidence of anything other than FB taking security fairly seriously (albeit not enough to delay the launch).

I like how the one guy’s like “lots of wimpy people just agree with whatever they see on the screen” and Elon is like “Yeah I mean it’s online so it’s probably correct.”

Glad to hear this place still exists!

Yeah I remember the CFO, Patrick, waiting in line for breakfast.

I don’t know if it still exists and if it does, I wouldn’t go out of my way for it, but the name always made me laugh. You can also go to Sushi Sam’s, which is genuinely good. Zuck used to eat there back in the day, which was annoying because he’d cut the line.

There used to be an OK Chinese restaurant called “Pierre’s Express Chang”, which I always assumed was either a riff on or the inspiration for PF Chang’s.

Also if someone says ‘the “check” is in the mail’ that’s, like…not reassuring, right?
