Meetup went downhill so hard. Jumped ship with @devict.org this year finally.
Nick Gerakines@ngerakines.me · yesterdayOof. Bending spoons now owns Evernote, Meetup, Eventbrite, Vimeo, and a handful of others. 1.2B is pretty substantial. Are those products better now?
🚨 Update: Watching this npm worm propagate in real time, we’re now tracking 2,234 affected package artifacts across 444 unique packages, and it’s still spreading. Average detection time: 5 min and 18 seconds after publication. Our campaign page includes all affected packages/versions.
Socket@socket.dev · yesterday🚨 Active npm supply chain attack: keyv@6.0.0 and 13 other packages have been compromised. keyv alone gets 154M weekly downloads. The worm steals cloud and CI credentials, then uses stolen npm tokens to publish trojanized versions of more packages.

"air-gapped" provides insufficient security, as air carries vibrations & can be used as an escape vector. literally one of nature's original I/O channels. vacuum-gapped is the new meta
Computational Cosmetologist@dferrer.bsky.social · 2w ago“sandboxed” has maybe always been a suspect concept, but it drives me crazy when people use “air-gapped” to mean “has a firewall that blocks some traffic to the internet”.
oai sol ran into that hf black ice, man. flatlined. zero detectable brain activity for 82 seconds
Built a distributed DNS server in ~a week. Rebuilt twice on purpose. Shipped -> went on vacation. DNS incidents a month later: 0. How we did it (hint: the answer isn't vibe-coding): blog.exe.dev/claude-is-no...

"AI was built on the creative output of the entire world. The profits are flowing to a handful of American billionaires." Why isn't this the default leftist position?
AI Is a Product of Humanity. Humanity Should Own AI.
Big Tech has looted humanity’s creative output to create artificial intelligence. We don’t just deserve a share of AI’s profits — we deserve control over it.

6 months to live for open models
The most serious test to date of open source AI’s viability is happening right now.

“The creators have unleashed another weapon on the maintainers: turning loose legions of people to build new buildings and bridges without any thought to architecture or city planning.” Great read. Especially appreciate this call out to the importance of maintening our critical OSS infrastructure.

Westworld was cooking when they had an entire plot arc about how giving your agents long term memory will inevitably drive them insane
Same. Of course the opposite can be true too. It comes down to a choice! Make more things of lower quality, or put higher quality into fewer things. LLMs add capacity for either one. How you spend it is a choice.
Paul Frazee@pfrazee.com · 4w agoInternally I have been seeing Jevon’s Paradox playing out among all of our engineering work. We’ve increased our ambitions and our correctness testing for our software. Some things have shipped faster but a lot of the new capacity goes to “better” Whole video is interesting
