Colour so bright it'll hurt your eyes :laugh:

It sort of reminds me of +kol's Strange World series.

Taken in the field right next to my neighborhood. It's all from one location, and it's a bunch of photos stitched together for more resolution from my sh^% camera.

Nice, though the slight asymmetry at the edges gives it a weird look IMO

I have one photo I'd like to share this month. It's not an amazing shot, but the back story behind it will hopefully make you realise why I want to share it.

I had a friend over, and we were sat in my room playing on the Xbox, I happened to look out of the window and see a stunning sky with the moon behind some clouds. We set off in the car to find a place where we could capture a good picture of it, free from light pollution, and ended up driving for miles, and parked up next to a field miles from the nearest town. This photo was taken at 0:25, and lit purely by the moon.

Had I taken my laptop with me to look at the image there and then, we may have taken that photo a few more times to improve the lighting in the foreground, but we're both really shocked at how well it came out, and the detail in it, when we could barely see what we were doing out there. The only post-processing we did was tweaking the white balance.

    • 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
