I was a poll worker in Brazil’s election. It was fascinating to see that out of the 190 people who came to vote in my section 80 didn’t vote in the first round and must have realized “Oh shit this is for real”.
Brazil’s results tonight are a big endorsement for the idea that every country should have a second “are you you sure about that” election a couple weeks after the first one for the important stuff

killapikeys.fyi I really need to find some time to remove that vibe coded design but the point still stands. Use workload identity federation (which Anthropic and OpenAI support, BTW) or TPM bound keys for the love of everything that is good.
the railway breach seems to be another case of grabbing anthropic / openai keys the issue here is tokens are basically cash, you can immediately sell them on the black market where there's a ton of demand particularly from distillers with deep pockets 1/2

Dear investors, don't worry. Externalized costs of this fuck up are not in our balance sheet!
This is an absolutely astounding press release from eMudhra. No apology, a suggestion that the researcher who found their private keys must have used AI, and an attempt to shift blame to auditors... wow. emudhra.com/en/press-release/emudhra-statement-distrust-global-tls-intermediate-root-ca

Correction: Firefox is patched. Windows is not yet on my machine. Ha!
Shout out to the defenders quietly keeping the tech world turning. I checked my Windows PC and iPhone and both are already patched.
🚨 Six WebPKI Intermediate CAs are compromised. This is bigger than Heartbleed, but a client-side issue. Anything that verifies certificates against public roots, like most TLS clients, is/was affected. Details, live test, patched versions and workarounds at emudhra.we-have-a-problem.com Act now.

99% of atmosphere apps have a sign in flow that gives zero indication to users that they’re about to be redirected to a totally different website with a screen they’ve likely never seen before i think it’s going to be crucial to set expectations properly at the point of redirection
calling all the "sign in with Atmosphere" freaks, check out @anisota.net's new login experience and tell me what you think — this isn't a flow or pattern i'd recommend for every app, but it is an example of an opinionated one for just this app! video attached, or try it for yourself: anisota.net

The fact that humanity can't write software reliable enough to the point that it's easier to change our definition of time is one of our biggest failures as a technological species. www.bipm.org/en/cgpm-2026...

YouTube's comment section used to be a hate filled toxic dumpster fire just 6 years ago. I don't know what they did but improved it dramatically somehow. I hope Bluesky will go through the same evolution. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
twitter is a nicer and friendlier place than bluesky: false bluesky has some of the most aggressively hectoring, pedantic weirdos on the entire internet: true

I've wanted to try and distill @donoteat.bsky.social 's video cadence and humor style for a while. There's a lot of visual and audio gags to catch so, first step: recreate storyboards for each video. artifacts.vza.net/donoteat-sto...

This one of those statements that make me torn. I 100% agree with the spirit and think that tech bro culture is much to blame for the anti AI backlash. At the same time, I admit that if I were the one developing GPT-3, I would also be against releasing it thinking it was too dangerous to give away.
AI is only dangerous if people are incentivized to move as quickly as possible without regard for externalities

Things don't always go as planned. Opus 5.5 main agent coordinating 2 Sol 6.1 xhigh and they coordinating 5 subsub agents each. They spun for 24h writing certificates, cross checking calculations in loop. I am adding a stall notification to omp as first step to improve. github.com/can1357/oh-m...

At a low level, my agents keep a detailed git history as they go. This ensures false starts and changed decisions are captured. At a medium level, I dream of software journalism, like LWN. At a high level, have software historians write books like Understanding the Linux Kernel or Windows Internals.
any additional document also doesn't feel like it solves the problem because it's yet another thing that can drift where is the source of truth for how your software is supposed to work? 4/4

This was LITERALLY the exact scenario that "Biological War: A Scenario" started with If things unfold like the scenario, 6 days from now civilization will collapse, the president will be in a bunker, and billions will die.
