There is a European-owned place called Aisle that is doing world class security bug finding. Beating Mythos even. But no one in Europe likes talking up our own talent. Been trying to get them mentioned in Dutch news, but all we can do apparently is promote US tech. aisle.com/blog/aisle-d...
AISLE Discovers 6 CVEs in curl, Including Oldest Issue Ever
AISLE's analyzer discovered 6 new CVEs in curl, more than 2x the nearest AI security platform and including the oldest security issue in the project.

GLM-5.2 passes my tire kick; it is roughly Opus 4.7-4.8 level as advertised. Open source is approximately two months behind closed, if considering the Opus series, and call it 4-5 if we count Mythos/Fable.
alright friends and computationists, what are the signals you pick up on that make you think a team has high engineering discipline? (whatever "high" means to you) i'm not talking science or evidence. i'm talking casual conversation, heuristics, no evidence whatsoever, just radar. what trips it?
GLM-5.2 is now open-weight. Tech Blog: z.ai/blog/glm-5.2 Weights: huggingface.co/zai-org/GLM-... API: docs.z.ai/guides/llm/g... Coding Plan: z.ai/subscribe Chat: chat.z.ai
Z AI or Zhipu AI released GLM-5.2 (Not open-weight yet?) It is available to all GLM Coding Plan users, including Lite, Pro, Max, and Team plans. docs.z.ai/devpack/late...
What Europe should do right now: 1. Call all the European researchers working on AI and return them back with same salary (or they can stay but switch career). 2. Fill EU places having GPUs with money, and put those people there. 3. AI partnerships with China + India.
The move to @eurosky.social went quite smoothly. It took several hours to migrate all my data (I have a lot of posts!) and I had to run pdsmoover.com to locate some missing blobs, but otherwise everything worked as expected. Highly recommended for anyone who wants their data to reside in Europe! 🇪🇺
This is absolutely nuts: hackers are hijacking high-profile Instagram accounts by simply asking Meta's AI chatbot to change the email on the account. Meta's AI does it, hacker gets password reset code, they're in. A staggering security issue www.404media.co/hackers-simp...
Hackers Simply Asked Meta AI to Give Them Access to High-Profile Instagram Accounts. It Worked
The exploit shows the extreme risk of offloading technical support to AI.

Oh right! I wrote a book on Event-Driven Architecture 😅 If you're into EDA or planning to, have a look. This book is the culmination of my 10 years on AsyncAPI. P.S. Just selling e-book but if people start asking for the printed version, I'll do it, eventually 🥁 Badum-tss! leadtheshift.co

Jarred rewrite Bun in Rust in a week with clankers. Say what you want about it, but that’s impressive. github.com/oven-sh/bun/...
Rewrite Bun in Rust by Jarred-Sumner · Pull Request #30412 · oven-sh/bun
Blog post with details coming soon. It passes Bun's pre-existing test suite on all platforms (and fixes several memory leaks and flaky tests), the binary size shrinks by 3 MB - 8 MB, the benchm...

Europe needs independent social infrastructure, not just an app. This is what we're building. eurosky.tech/build/
The Bun rewrite in Rust is incredible. I don’t think we can understand yet the consequences of having a tool that can make these technology migrations possible in a couple of days github.com/oven-sh/bun/...

Luego nos juntaremos para hablar sobre los retos que estamos viviendo con la IA en nuestras empresas y desahogarnos un poco.
No creo que por aquí haya alguien a quien le interese pero por si acaso: nos vamos a juntar unos cuantos de MadAi.es para tomar algo el Lunes e intercambiar experiencias usando o adoptando IA en equipos de tech luma.com/mcsm0jbo
CircleCI’s 2026 State of Software Delivery report has two findings that are already travelling: AI is meaningfully boosting software delivery, but only 1 in 20 teams are capturing that benefit. I think both claims are more uncertain than the report suggests, for different reasons.
More code, less delivery but does the CircleCI 2026 Report really show 1 in 20 teams are benefiting? | Rob Bowley

Oh interesting, people who don’t know how to build software are getting mad at my post about building software. Cute. Let me be clear, over the next year, the job of software engineer will shift dramatically to no longer have typing syntax into an editor as its primary time sink.

Acabo de escuchar un anuncio de Sumup por la radio. Parece que ahora se vende el TPV hasta en grandes superficies! Me ha traído el recuerdo de un proyecto que hice para una startup en 2016 integrando el TPV en una app de iPad para alquilar pádel surf. Llegamos a reportar issues y a…

I love the concept of @blackskyweb.xyz (docs.blackskyweb.xyz/docs/faq). Does anybody know other similar communities? Do we have eu-sky already?
