Anthropic’s new Claude Fable 5 is a nerfed Mythos with guardrails attached

Published by skeptic

Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. ZDNET’s key takeaways Anthropic is releasing Claude Fable 5 for general users. Fable 5 uses Mythos-class power with safety controls. Pricing is about twice that of Claude Opus 4.8. Anthropic has announced a defanged version of its fabled (and highly restricted) Mythos large language model. Called Claude Fable 5, the company describes the new AI as “a Mythos-class model made safe for general use.” Mythos was introduced back in April to great fanfare as a model capable of finding vulnerabilities in code that neither experienced developers nor other AIs could find. Also: US workers are the world’s biggest AI skeptics – and it’s not just about job loss Offered as the central component of a Manhattan Project-like team effort called Project Glasswing, Mythos was considered far too dangerous to be allowed to fall into the wrong hands. As such, the model has been made available only to Glasswing partners, including Amazon Web Services, Anthropic, Apple, Broadcom, Cisco, CrowdStrike, Google, JPMorganChase, the Linux …

Why Men Are Attached To Eating More Meat

Why Men Are Attached To Eating More Meat

Published by Sam Flores

In February, Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. shared a video of him eating steak, exercising shirtless and drinking whole milk in a hot tub with ’00s-era musician Kid Rock. The internet’s response to the video was largely bewilderment and mocking, but whether or not the pair succeeded in looking cool, they certainly telegraphed an attempt at masculinity. The video draws a straight line between the person responsible for US food and health policy and the “manosphere,” as some call it — the side of the internet that largely consists of fitness videos aimed at young men but is also known for introducing its followers to misogynistic, homophobic and antisemitic ideas. So, it might be worth paying attention to what he — and other men in the public eye — wants to be seen eating. Research shows that not only do men tend to eat more meat than women globally, but also that men are more reactive and defensive to messaging that suggests they lower their meat consumption, be it for …

EU Parliament backs US trade deal — with strings attached – POLITICO

EU Parliament backs US trade deal — with strings attached – POLITICO

Published by Sam Flores

BRUSSELS — The European Parliament supported two legal proposals Thursday to implement the trade agreement reached last year between the EU and the U.S. by a wide margin, with amendments aimed at ensuring the Trump administration stands by the deal. In a plenary vote, lawmakers backed the measures — to scrap EU duties on U.S. industrial products — with a wide majority. Parliament negotiators will likely meet as soon as April 13 with EU country representatives to start negotiating a final compromise that could then enter into force. The measures are formally split into two different texts. One reduces tariffs on U.S. products while another suspends application of duty collections. The first was backed by 417 votes in favor, 154 against and 71 abstentions. The second had 437 votes in favor, 144 against and 60 abstentions. Source link

Most Men Get Easily Attached To Women Who Do These 11 Subtle Things In Conversation

Most Men Get Easily Attached To Women Who Do These 11 Subtle Things In Conversation

Published by Jenni Sidey

Attachment doesn’t usually happen because of grand romantic gestures. More often, it forms through repeated, subtle moments that create both emotional safety and interest. Conversation is one of the fastest ways to connect, either deepens or fades. Tone, timing, and presence matter more than rehearsed lines ever could. Feeling seen and emotionally understood increases attachment intensity. When someone feels both accepted and slightly challenged in conversation, the brain tends to register that interaction as meaningful. It’s not about performance. It’s about how a woman makes a man feel when he’s talking. And certain conversational habits tend to strengthen attachment without anyone consciously trying to do so. Most men get easily attached to women who do these 11 subtle things in conversation 1. They ask follow-up questions that show they were really listening DavideAngelini / Shutterstock There’s a big difference between polite nodding and active engagement. When a woman remembers details and circles back to them later, it signals attention. Men often bond when they feel respected and heard. Follow-up questions communicate that what he said …

Motion sensors perform better when attached to loose clothing

Motion sensors perform better when attached to loose clothing

Published by Jenni Sidey

When your arm moves inside a loose shirt, the fabric does not simply follow along. It ripples, folds, and shifts in ways that exaggerate motion. Those subtle distortions, long treated as measurement errors, may actually carry more useful information than the movement of the body itself. That idea sits at the center of new research from King’s College London, published in Nature Communications, which challenges a basic assumption behind modern motion tracking. Sensors do not have to be tight against the skin to work well. In many cases, they perform better when attached to loose clothing. The findings suggest a different future for wearable technology, one that could make health monitoring devices less intrusive while improving accuracy across fields ranging from medicine to robotics. Researchers found that sensors attached to loose fabric predicted and captured human movement with about 40 percent greater accuracy while requiring roughly 80 percent less data than sensors fixed directly to the body.

Elegoo’s New 3D Printer Is the First Centauri With a Color System Attached

Elegoo’s New 3D Printer Is the First Centauri With a Color System Attached

Published by skeptic

Elegoo makes some of the best 3D printers, including the budget models we’ve tested here at CNET. The Elegoo Centauri Carbon earned our pick for the best budget 3D printers, and the Elegoo Mars 4 and Saturn 4 earned top spots as the best starter and midsize resin 3D printers, respectively. This makes us particularly excited for the new Elegoo Carbon 2, which goes on sale next week. There are a lot of changes with the new 3D printer, despite a look that’s similar to the previous model. For starters, there’s a filament changer on the printer frame that supports up to four colors or materials per print. Elegoo says it has easy color switching, instant loading and automatic filament backup. The system also has an RFID auto-recongition feature, which identifies filament type and suggests the correct setting. “Even if the Centauri 2 is just the first Centauri with a color system attached, it’ll likely be worth the price of admission,” says James Bricknell, CNET managing editor and 3D printing expert. “I have it in my workshop, and …
