Strange how the history of the world has changed so dramatically, and perhaps the downward slope started with a seemingly humorous (at the time) lawsuit forcing Musk to buy Twitter… I wonder what state the world would be in now if this hadn’t have happened? arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

Lawsuit: Musk’s contractual breaches “cast a pall over Twitter and its business.”…

I’m excited to share our research on the “whoAMI” attack. We discovered that AWS customers pulling AMI IDs insecurely could accidentally use malicious images instead of the legitimate ones— leading to remote code execution. securitylabs.datadoghq.com/articles/who...

@alastaircampbell2.bsky.social loving the podcast, but for balance, think you should invite @edzitron.com to be interviewed, to give an alternative view of AI :)

iOS 18.2.1 seems to fix the really annoying bug where the iPhone torch doesn’t turn on (either immediately or sometimes at all)… likewise for the camera button from the Lock Screen! 🎉

PSA: shop around for insurance at *every* renewal! Car insurance renewal received: up 50% from the best price I got last year. Spent about 30 mins looking, found a new provider that comes in at 10% less than last year's price (almost half of the renewal price from the current provider).

One of the most underrated apps for the iPhone is Shortcuts - it can create some really powerful outcomes, in just a few steps. For example, this 3-step Shortcut allows you to use the share screen to summarise a whole variety of content (web pages straight from Safari, files, etc) with ChatGPT

Feeling refreshed after a short break, I'm very happy to announce that today I joined Rayo as their CTO. I'm excited for a number of reasons, not least of which is the chance of working with Chris and Robert again (both of whom were instrumental in my deciding to join AWS way back in 2016). 1/3

Really great intro of the new Gemini 2.0 Flash model

Simon Willison@simonwillison.net · 2y ago

Wrote up my initial impressions of the new Google Gemini 2.0 Flash model - it's really good, and the streaming mode (where you can stream video and audio to it and get audio streamed right back) is pure science-fiction simonwillison.net/2024/Dec/11/...
