I see this as being similar to outsourcing in previous decades? We will all fuck around and find out of the thing works, and later, if anyone understands how it works so a bug can be fixed.

I have this idea about putting out a citizen checkpoint on our block a few times a year at peak β€œdriving my feelings” times and just fucking with these aggro weirdos ripping along side streets

Wild, you’re dunking on the people that collect your garbage and run the cafes and bakeries that feed and caffeinate you on the way to wherever you’re going at 10am.

When those people start work at 5am on Dec 21 it will be dark for 4 more hours

Doing it this way we get more light in the evening in Dec, but sunrise at 9am. I prefer conceptually, unsure how it will feel in 9 months.

What do you think of the choice of sticking with daylight vs standard? I know people voted for it but the referendum was flawed.

A GitHub Issue Title Compromised 4,000 Developer Machines A prompt injection in a GitHub issue triggered a chain reaction that ended with 4,000 developers getting OpenClaw installed without consent. The attack composes well-understood vulnerabilities into so...

I am convinced we are on the verge of the first "AI agent worm". This looks like the closest hint of it, though it isn't it quite itself: an attack on a PR agent that got it to set up to install openclaw with full access on 4k machines grith.ai/blog/clineje...

I want to say, let’s run the dumbest, most secure servers possible ( but no dumber ) so the magic can be owned by users and clients

NEW: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says the United States has asked Ukraine for help intercepting Iranian-made Shahed drones, citing Ukraine’s battlefield expertise. Zelenskyy said any assistance will come only if it does not weaken Ukraine’s own defenses.

Not really without knowing more, but the comment is borne from experience seeing systems where there is a server component that holds auth on behalf of users, so if the server gets hacked a whole bunch of users are compromised ( eg passwords in plain text in the bad old days )

I’m obviously completely ignorant of the requirements / context here but beware of β€œone more server-itis”

The only reason rekordbox is tolerated is because it can write to usb drives that can be read by pioneer CDJs / players. It’s such crapware

I mean it’s inertia at this point, plus I don’t trust iCloud completely after experiencing @expede.wtf β€˜s haunted iCloud sharing situation first hand.

Maybe access to coding models should have a prerequisite where you are locked in a room and we don't let you out until you've read Tristan Shandy and can hand-write an essay on the novel vis a vis the modern wabe of uber-specific obsessionism or something.
