The antis like to try to say software using AI to help with development is necessarily more insecure, but I'm at a point where I'd have an increasingly hard time trusting devs who *don't* use AI. We're in an arms race. I want devs to keep up.

The details are now public, as of two hours ago. bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi... The secret P-384 keys for these intermediate CAs are all zeros except the last 8 bits. All not-updated software can be MITM'ed now. IOT boxes that can't or don't update are now trivially MITM'able forever.

A new expert report assesses a “dramatic deterioration” in nuclear safety conditions in the United States, due primarily to the “erosion of the independence” of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission under the Trump administration.

DARPA used to host huge robotics competitions. Robotics didn't have any real market, so the US government created one, handing out millions in prize money. I personally worked on DARPA-funded projects for "UAVs" and "quadrocopters", back before we had the term "drone". Seems important.

It's funny how my AI chats are all just "address the comments" or "read the spec and build this". Coding harnesses are all chat-centric but they definitely don't need to be.

Working on a greenfield vibe-coded production system with a team of talented engineers has taught me that AI shouldn't be allowed to write comments.

Claude seems to be trained to bias against long-running simulations. Always picks tiny parameters and toy problems. Takes several turns to convince it to do anything nontrivial.

9 Aug

All results are "as expected" when you're a Claude.

7 Aug

Real question. Did anyone hear the term "seam" before Claude Code? What is he trying to say??

LOC-maxxing lol

So apparently some super-senior ICs are holding on to the notions of "craft", SDLC, ownership, responsibility, while newer ICs are --delivering-value-dangerously. Consensus a few months ago was that AI was a boon to us with more experience. I think that's about to flip hard.

This, combined with the hacking incidents, worries me.

I keep warning people that you can convince Claude that any idea is genius. I specifically use going to the moon as an example. Apparently that's too on the nose now.

The discarded upper portion of a rocket launched by Elon Musk’s SpaceX last year was expected to unintentionally crash into the moon early Wednesday, adding yet another crater to the surface of our nearest neighbor at around 5,400 miles an hour.
