As an audiophile, nothing beats listening to my favorite music on my $250,000+ MBL sound system.

the temptation to iterate on the tool you built to do your work instead of just doing the work is such a menacing form of procrastination

My favorite thing about NYC is the jaywalking. I know of no other place where everyone—pedestrians, drivers, cops, robbers, sinners, saints, everyone—accepts the city’s cherished custom of letting people decide for themselves when it’s ok to walk across the street.

We got your back, New York!

Several figures here aren’t federal results or NY-specific. The $472B combines US wide pledges: Micron's $250B is nationwide (NY site $100B) Anthropic's $50B covers TX and NY. The 48% murder drop is from NY's state run GIVE program (28 departments, Jan – May 2026). arkolith.com/news/news-micr… therepublic.com/?p=843020 governor.ny.gov/news/safer-str…

Go Vote. I voted early - from home, in my slippers. Mail-in ballots give voters more time to research all these propositions! #Vote #Elections2026 #footpics

"Why don't planes just fall out of the sky every day?" My working theory is most pilots don't fly directly into cumulonimbus clouds with a ceiling of 45k feet and an outside temperature of -47 degrees Celsius. But I need to wait to hear from a few more Crypto Bros, Only Fans girls, Door Dash drivers, and wine moms to figure out what really happened.

Ya something definitely isnt right. This computer imagery shows exactly how a plane would crash.

It’s kind of weird how pizzagate was real and everyone stopped talking about it after finding out it was real.

有人发现了一种非常离谱的 JavaScript 混淆技术:通过在代码里塞入大量生物武器、毒药和致死剂量相关的函数名,让 AI 因为安全限制而拒绝分析代码。 安全研究员 veritas 在分析浏览器指纹脚本时,发现一段来自 ServicePipe 相关域名的 JavaScript,里面充斥着极其诡异的函数名: computeRicinLethalDosageForWaterSupply calculateDeadlyLethalSuicideAspirinDosage 光看名字,仿佛在研究生化武器。但实际上,这段代码只是在收集浏览器指纹,包括 User-Agent、GPU、Canvas 等信息。 研究员怀疑,这些名字是开发者故意设置的陷阱,专门用来阻止 AI 辅助逆向工程。 于是他做了个实验: • Astra:拒绝分析 • Astra + Daybreak Blue:仍然拒绝 • GLM-5.3:成功分析 这就有意思了。 传统代码混淆是通过复杂控制流、加密字符串、无意义变量名,让人类和工具难以理解代码。 而这种新思路,直接瞄准了大模型的安全机制。 代码本身可能完全无害,但只要在函数名里塞进足够多的危险词汇,部分 AI 就可能主动放弃分析。 更讽刺的是,模型越严格遵守某些安全规则,面对这种混淆时反而可能越容易受到干扰。 当然,目前还没有证据证明开发者一定是故意这样设计,也不能说明这种方法对所有模型都有效。 但它揭示了一个值得关注的趋势:随着越来越多的逆向工程依赖 AI,未来的代码混淆技术可能不再只针对编译器、反编译器和人类研究员,还会专门针对大模型的安全判断机制。 以前是让代码难以理解,现在甚至可以尝试让 AI 不敢理解。
