WHAT IS IT CALLED WHEN YOU CANNOT MARKET THE PRODUCT BUT YOU KEEP ADDING FEATURES?

You can either fear AI or use it as a tool to build things that you thought were impossible for you to even attempt.
As long as AI still answers to our wishes, we should aim to be more ambitious with our projects.
This! Ask for nice animations, drag & drop, full desktop like behavior from web apps (keyboard shortcuts, paste files, etc.) that would have taken you days before. No more!
It would if it weren’t for compile times 😅
Just as Dropbox brought `rsync` online, @ZoomHub is bringing `vips dzsave` online 💥

So basically, today PHP got two critical bugs that let anyone run code on your server without even logging in, which is bad, and then the details leaked before the patch was even out, which is worse, and it works on WordPress and MediaWiki and Magento and Joomla and Laravel, and Censys says like 1.5 million servers are running a version with no fix, so the NSA was like "take your system offline," and the FBI was like "take your system offline," and CISA and the UK and CERT-EU were all like "take your system offline," and then the Prime Minister of Japan, the actual Prime Minister, posted at 5:55 in the morning telling 48.8 million people to take their system offline, so everyone took their system offline, like the Dutch cybersecurity agency took its own website offline, and the Dutch parliament went offline, and the Port of Rotterdam went offline, and Finland and France and Denmark started pulling government sites, and Wikipedia went down, and Archive.org went down, and Asana and GOG and Something Awful went down, and the University of Vienna's webmail went down for some reason, and that's just PHP. Because GitLab also dropped a CVSS 10.0, which is the highest score they give out, for a bug that's been there since 2014, so that's every self-hosted GitLab for twelve years, and then LiteLLM 1.107.0 got hijacked and shipped a credential stealer and a remote access trojan in every single wheel and the Docker images, including latest, and you didn't even have to import it, just installing it was enough, and it's the second time this year, and then Railway paused every deployment on the entire platform because someone got into the environment variables, so now everyone has to rotate every secret they've ever stored there, and TiDB Cloud said someone was walking around inside with stolen credentials for basically a month and an extortion group says they took 10.6 terabytes, and Zeabur got breached for the second time in two months and is just shutting down, like the whole company, and Node.js patched remote code execution and a TLS bypass, and CISA says Plex is being actively exploited, and someone took over 300 Tor exit relays to steal SSH passwords, and SafePay ransomware has hit over 600 critical infrastructure orgs, and India's biggest bank filed a data loss incident, and Japan has been in an official state of emergency in cyberspace since October 9, which honestly explains the 5:55 AM post. Oh, and eMudhra, a certificate authority that's issued over 60 million certificates, whose entire job is proving websites are who they say they are, was supposed to be using private keys that are random numbers over a hundred digits long, and one of them was 4. Just 4. And the others were like 66 and 237. Anyway, it's Wednesday.

Human-written code has a signature, and it's a stale README nobody planned to fix.

Opus 5.5 is such a good writer that I really enjoy reading its reports now. Such a huge improvement over Fable.

Replying to @theo
> None of it will matter but I'm having the time of my life right now
Lowkey the healthiest mindset to take on in these uncertain times
Second or third time this week I read someone using DEFCON 5 as scary, even though that’s ‘business as usual.’
Scary is DEFCON 1 👀
I highly recommend @ryanlpeterman podcast with Scott Aaronson 👏
Ex-OpenAI researcher Scott Aaronson admits AI one-shotted open problems from his 25-year-old papers, while accelerating the atrophy of his own mathematical skills:
“This summer I fed in some of the open problems from my papers 25 years ago, and just boom, boom, boom. It solved them in a one-shot way."
"These are problems that probably I could have solved if I had spent enough time, more like 100 hours at the least. But these days I don’t really get contiguous hours to think."
"AI accelerates the atrophying of my own skills. If it’s something you could work out in some hours, but GPT can just work it out for you right now, that is very tempting to do, and I often do it."

"Soon AI will write almost all code, but it still writes it in languages designed for humans, and since no one can review millions of AI-written lines, bugs pile up. The stricter a language is, the less the AI gets wrong, which is why AI is now solving open math problems in Lean, where every step must be proven, but Lean is too slow and limited for real software. Bend brings Lean's proofs to a practical language that runs at C speed and on GPUs. Since AI-written code comes with proof that it works, an AI can keep improving software with no human checking it, because any change that breaks it is rejected. We're soon going run that AutoResearch loop on Bend's own compiler, pushing its performance even further." - Opus 5.5
