I'm pretty sure mythos is just a new unreleased version of Opus + marketing + a different system prompt.

I suspect so as well.

I've been running my own security scanning software (disclaimer: now starting a company @ zeroquarry.com) for this, and from what I've seen there's a huge value in prompts + adversarial LLM review. Without adversarial review, you get garbage (as this blog points out: 4/5 basically are nonsense) and with a good prompt, you can use almost any "near frontier" model from my experience as long as the prompt helps with the guardrails or the model doesn't protect in such a strict way

It's almost as if management was a useful function in organizations ;)

And one of the threat models that police use in the US is tracking women suspected of going for abortions through the use of road cameras, and other surveillance methods.

Once you have the attestation in place you have no guarantee who is going to get access to data like what apps are present on your device, and there will be nothing you can do to stop it.

Meanwhile, we could educate people against common scams.

How is this not just trading one smaller bad for a bigger bad? Why is this touted as an improvement?

That's why I'm strongly against remote attestation of general-purpose hardware.

I use a handheld card reader with a display as a 2FA for my bank transactions. It shows me the transaction and, after I confirm, sends a TAN to the bank. It is not a general-purpose device but a certified, tamper-evident/-resistant black box that does just that one thing.

> Meanwhile, we could educate people against common scams.

There's a million ways you can get scammed, no matter how many hours of training you've had.

You can't educate (many) people against common scams. But people should have the freedom to opt out of surveillance in their private lives, at the risk of exposure to scams.

I don't see why we couldn't have both better education around this, and the freedom to opt out of surveillance

There is also net.ipv4.ip_unprivileged_port_start

The first 3 hits on any search engine weren't relevant?

No, they weren't. They told me an awkward neologism for someone who isn't senior and isn't junior, and that means that neither they nor the original message tell me mid-level what.

So, no, they were not, or I would not have asked.

What I was going to ask as well, seems that people are getting dumber by the day.

At least in English, this appears to be slang that only recently leaked out of its original context. I've never heard the term before and whatever they used to look it up probably had no results.

The usual English term is "mid-level".

But nobody said that apart from you?

The established culture on a lot of projects is that you open an issue, and then you have to keep pinging it every week otherwise the stale bot closes it with "this issue is stale, closing, but your contribution is very important to us".

It's crap either way.

It's close to Opus 4.5 for me

It does, I posted the answer 2 times already and both my comments got flagged

Using "strong" language on HN often gets down voted, there is very heavy tone policing

A quite large chunk of botnet "members" are IoT crap (even mattresses).
