A Mis-Clipped Anchor Leads to a 60-foot Ground Fall—And a Miraculous Catch

Boulderers spot their friends on low boulders. Sometimes we spot climbers before they clip their first piece of pro. Very rarely do we spot a climber falling 60 feet. The post A Mis-Clipped Anchor Leads to a 60-foot Ground Fall—And a Miraculous Catch appeared first on Climbing.

What Is Manliness, Anyway?

Launching the redesign of the Art of Manliness has gotten me thinking about our history, and how my understanding of manliness has evolved, deepened, and changed over that nearly two-decade-long span. The idea for the Art of Manliness came to me in a Borders (RIP) bookstore. As I browsed their selection of men’s magazines, I […] This article was originally published on The Art of Manliness.

Hexishtrek Day 43 Castanhada to Plo de la Voulp €0

I was feeling a bit Hexishtrek this morning. My two options for continuing my push southish were to follow the Hexatrek in a looping semicircle path that kept me clear of any road walking (good for my allergies) or a more straight up the guts route marked on my map as an ancient path. I mean it’s not a tough choice really, is it?  The post Hexishtrek Day 43 Castanhada to Plo de la Voulp €0 appeared first on The Trek.

Anthropic report: 5 ways Claude was exploited for war, spying and repression

The AI safety debate exploded this week over warnings that the technology could one day destroy humanity. Anthropic's latest threat report offers a more immediate wake-up call: Today's models are already helping U.S. adversaries develop kamikaze drones, hunt dissidents and conduct dangerous virus research. Why it matters: AI is tearing down barriers that have long constrained the world's most dangerous actors. A handful of people can now mount operations that once required legions of spies, engineers or hackers. Driving the news: Anthropic — the safety-focused lab behind Claude — says it spent the past eight months tracking and disrupting attempts to misuse its models. Among the most alarming cases it uncovered: 1. An Iran-linked operation used Claude to help target U.S. naval forces. Claude helped build targeting handbooks tracking ship positions, U.S. personnel, aircraft and ship identifiers, satellite imagery and websites exposing naval movements. Other Iran-linked operations ta

Laika’s stop-motion fantasy Wildwood looks so smooth

Due to a scheduling mishap, I was only able to check out two movies on my second day at the Toronto International Film Festival - but I did manage to get an early look at and some fascinating details on one of my most anticipated films this year. Even if you don't know the name Laika, you probably know the studio's work; it's the animation house behind stop-motion hits like ParaNorman, The Boxtrolls, and Kubo and the Two Strings. Over the years Laika's films have steadily gotten more impressive on both a technical and artistic level. Which brings us to the incredible-looking Wildwood, hitting theaters next month.

What makes a fly reel worth the money?

I RECEIVED THIS EMAIL THE OTHER DAY FROM MY GOOD FRIEND BRIAN BOGGS. "Louis, I'm looking for the right four-wt reel. I am of a mind to shop the low end for reels since I don't catch large fish that need to be fought on the reel. Is there any reason to not just buy a cheapie and get on with the fishing? How much difference does the reel make anyway? I think of it as line storage and little else." It always makes me a little crazy to hear that 'line storage' remark. I don't know who started it, buy they did a disservice to a great many anglers. Hearing it from Brian made me especially nuts. Brian, you see, is a man with a very specific skill set. You may not be aware that there is a subculture among us who are devotees of an ancient art form, so ubiquitous that most of us take it completely for granted. These folks, craftsmen and collectors alike, obsess over the minutiae of this endeavor to the point of needing serious therapy. I am not even kidding. Brian Boggs is a chair maker. Boggs
