damn… doesn’t facebook still have parts running on PHP?
Effective Immediately, all organizations using PHP for their systems are advised to be prepared for an update addressing two critical vulnerabilities. PHP is widely used for web applications. These vulnerabilities often provide a direct path to the server's file system or database. If an immediate update is not feasible, it is recommend that organizations take the system offline until it can be fully mitigated. NSA will follow up shortly with more specific guidance.

I feel like there’s a massive push to normalize the practice of giving frontier labs access to all of your personal data/apps in real-time, like it’s completely normal.
Imagine starting with the BEAM
Cursor's harness for thousands of coding agents went through four designs
Each got better by removing a role: the planner, then the judge, then the integrator
What survived: a recursive planner tree, workers that never talk to each other, one handoff message flowing up

Tomorrow we will bring back the 5h limit for Plus accounts across ChatGPT Work and Codex. I had mentioned this a while ago, but then postponed it.
This is necessary as (a) the 5h limit allows us to smoothen the load on our compute, allowing to keep the plan generous in terms of weekly usage and (b) users on the Plus plan are relatively casual and new users, but then also just accidentally eat through their whole weeks usage and then are confused, making it not a great experience.
We are for the upcoming months keeping the 5h limit not enabled for Pro $100 and Pro $200 subscriptions.
I don’t know if @thsottiaux realizes this but the banked reset was keeping me subscribed to Codex.
I’ve now used them and even if I didn’t they’d be expired.
Unfortunately we haven’t seen any more banked resets in awhile and if I have to choose between Claude or Codex there’s nothing biasing my choice toward Codex.
wen Daemon & Freedom by Daniel Suarez
The Matrix took its name from a 1984 novel written on a manual typewriter by a man who didn't own a computer. 42 years later, that novel finally gets its own screen.
William Gibson typed Neuromancer on a 1927 Hermes portable. He coined "cyberspace" before he'd ever logged onto anything. The book swept the Hugo, the Nebula, and the Philip K. Dick award in the same year, the only novel ever to take all three.
Then Hollywood spent four decades strip-mining it while calling it unfilmable. The Wachowskis lifted the matrix, the jacked-in hackers, the AI pulling strings behind a corporate veil. Every razor-girl assassin in sci-fi traces back to Molly. Johnny Mnemonic, an actual Gibson adaptation, flopped so hard in 1995 that studios treated his work as radioactive for a generation.
At least five directors attached and detached over the years. Chris Cunningham in 2000. Vincenzo Natali in 2010. Tim Miller at Fox in 2017. Each attempt died the same death. By the time the technology existed to film Neuromancer, audiences had watched its ideas in a dozen movies that borrowed them first.
The original became unfilmable because it looked like a copy of its own copies.
Now the timing loops back on itself. A story about a rogue AI maneuvering to escape its corporate constraints, written before the web existed, lands in January 2027 as the least speculative thing on television.
And one detail makes the whole arc perfect. When Neuromancer royalties came in, Gibson bought his first computer, an Apple IIc. Four decades later, Apple is the company putting his book on screen.
