Way back in 2001 I thought about giving each the computes in my house a name. I thought I would name them each after a different john Wayne movie.

Warwagon (from the movie "The Warwagon) was my main machine

Tycoon was my server

and Dakota was my spare machine.

and the rest is history.

Lol that's awesome

well, my current display name is NeoSpam... I figured since i have a spam (the food) obcession, I'd make it spam related......

Originally, it was Ispamforfood.... but i wanted to make it Neowin-esque. :p

I was born in Yugoslavia, and while growing up my family always said "You should be like Tito", "Don't do that, it will dissapoint Tito", etc. During grade 9 I did an essay about him and heard of Titoism and realized that my ideology was very close to it. So as I was making my Neowin name (for the 3rd time) I decided to call my self Titoist.

Titoism

My screen name comes from my work. I'm a Paramedic with the Emergency Response Brigade on a pharmaceutical plant. I'm also a Hazardous Materials Specialist and due to the work we do we respond to every emergency on plant grounds and 2 miles around the plant in a mutual aid arrangement. So we cover everything from a scraped knee to a full Haz-Mat spill to car accidents.

Nothing interesting behind my username really, it's, as many may assume, my first name. :p

Back in my "n00b" days online I used to go around by "maximus" or "maximus_12",with nothing creative being behind that username either; it was my dog's name.

'Kane' comes from a few sources. Kane from CNC; one of my favorite game series', it's the name of a Husky I found a picture of several years back, and I really like the name itself. 'Husky' comes from my love of Siberian Huskies. :wub: The whole name also relates to my lifestyle so to say, being that I'm a furry. No, I'm not a "CSI" furry :laugh: :rolleyes:

Game name in CS used to be "7 Shot" which was because I'd love to own people with a deagle (desert eagle) and it has 7 shots before you have to reload. I shortened it to "Se7en" because I thought it looked cool, because of the movie Se7en, and because a korean singer is called "Se7en" (I'm half Korean). Since "Se7en" isn't really that original and most sites already have that name taken I chose Se7enVII or Se7enIIIX instead.

Yggdrasill is the Tree of Life in Norse [and some other] mythology, but it was originally taken on the site I wanted to use it on. A friend suggested adding a Y to the end [for 'silly'], so I did. And it stuck. For the most part, Yggdrasill is taken as a username on most sites anyway.

:laugh:

devHead. Well, years ago, there was this website for developers and particularly web designers and programmers. It was devhead.com. It doesn't exist anymore, but I thought the name was pretty cool. Plus, cause I'm a developer/programmer.

    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.

    • Not sure what country you’re in but in many countries you can absolutely jail the sellers behind businesses… in fact I’d say in most countries you can do that
    • I guess we are done since you refuse to read my comment you replied to or my other comment in another thread you were also a part of here.
