I don't have any problem with police getting in touch with someone they believe is at risk of committing a crime. Better to check in and make sure they are okay, rather than waiting until something terrible happens. As long as its limited to "Are you okay?" then its fine IMO.

Requires a police force that has the trust of the people though, and that is increasingly rare.

And its difficult to square that with the right to privacy/no unreasonable searches.

    Clean room reversing is just laundering code, always has been.

    Rewriting code into English/GGUF/Klingon/whatever, and then getting someone else to rewrite it back into code is just laundering it. Its been legally accepted for a while, and many projects we take for granted today started that way.

    Whether this case is "clean" enough is up to the courts ultimately, but its laundering either way.

    talking about it as if it's common knowledge

    This is basically saying to the viewer "only idiots don't know this, you're not an idiot are you?", common sales/snake oil trick, makes you feel unsafe to push back

    ( of course, this comment also fits into that trick as well :) )

    Nah, sounds like nonsense. An MRI is 1.5-3 Tesla, and people sit inside those with no negative effects.

    As for the ER thing, how do they know there is a geomagnetic storm going on if they don't have the detectors already? And how would the detectors help, if they don't provide advanced warning?

    Edit: neodymium magnets are also in the same region, 1.3-1.5T, and they are in everything. Your headphones have them inside, and those go directly in your ears.

    Put a bunch of toilet paper on top, and then use a toilet brush to shove the blockage down. The toilet paper should hopefully keep the brush (or any other object) clean. Once you get it past the ubend it should free up and flow normally.

    You can also use a rubbergloved fist, or some other longish object.

    The US economy (and others) are all in on AI. Destroying one of anthropic or openais datacenters would potentially cause massive damage to their valuations, which would ripple through the rest of the magic numbers. If investors got cold feet, it could be an economic bloodbath.

    As a target to cause damage to the US, its pretty good.
