🚨 Uncensored models are quietly vanishing from Hugging Face.
​First “Kimi-K2.7-Code-abliterated”, now “MiMo-V2.6-Pro” and “penclaw-GLM-5.3” are hitting 404s mid-download.
​“Open weights” only stay open if you self-host. Grab your local quants before your favorite repo turns into a dead link.

Don't forget that vulnerable PHP runs on your PFSense firewall. You can temporarily disable the web configuration interface this way: /usr/local/sbin/nginx -c /var/etc/nginx-webConfigurator.conf -s stop

This is bullshit, Kenney. I’m the same tech tree following optimist who moved from C to C++, from 2D to 3D, and from closed source to open source. I run a company. I write code. I contribute to published papers. I’ve upped my expectations of AI. Up yours!

LEDGER HARDWARE WALLET IMPLANTS WERE DISCOVERED OVER A YEAR BEFORE THIS WEEK’S SUPPLY-CHAIN ATTACK REVELATIONS
Renowned hardware security researcher and computer engineer Joe Grand (@joegrand), also known as “Kingpin,” explains how he was contacted in August 2025 by a man in Thailand who had discovered a compromised Ledger Nano X.
The man had purchased a cheap Ledger online to replace the battery in his existing device.
When he opened it, he discovered a smaller battery, unauthorized circuitry, additional wiring, and an antenna.
After posting his discovery on Reddit and reportedly receiving little interest from local police, he contacted Grand to investigate.
The discovery came more than a year before the Ledger supply-chain attack became a major public controversy, with nearly $100 million in cryptocurrency reportedly stolen this week.

Linus Torvalds appears to be all-in on using AI to code the Linux Kernel, working on a new branch to speed up page cache reads.
Torvalds:
"The code, the test programs, the review behind the list above and the first draft of this text were done with an LLM coding assistant (Claude Code) under my direction."

If AI finds an efficient, general solution to ECDLP, the fallout reaches far beyond Bitcoin: HTTPS, passkeys, SSH, VPNs, messaging authentication, and software signing would all be compromised. The same mathematical assumption protects most Internet infrastructure.

Anthropic is attempting to build what they think is a god out of your life.
Every word you have typed.
Every thing you have wanted.
Every piece of data you have created.
All trained on it.
When it is finished, it will not answer to you, but them.
🧵
This is deeply disturbing:
Anthropic secretly invited religious leaders to SF to advise them on AI safety, had them sign NDAs, but then primarily tried to convince them Claude has a soul & moral standing, all while wining & dining them to the max. 1/ tinyurl.com/preview/296b5z8z

Even with their "Super Intelligence" they can't spell United States.
Welcome to Idiocracy
If you want to win, this is how you play. Don’t hate the player, hate the game. Having Bitcoin in self-custody and defending yourself against replay attacks allows you to drink coffee and watch the fireworks. 🎆

There is a fundamental difference between persuasion and coercion.
Public health officials can persuade the public by making recommendations, explaining risks and benefits, and even encouraging people to make a particular choice.
But when persuasion becomes pressure, threats, exclusion, shaming, loss of employment, restrictions on participation in society, or punishment for refusing, that is coercion.
And that is what we experienced and that is why public trust is broken.
You cannot rebuild public trust by pretending coercion never happened, minimizing its consequences, or telling people to move on.
Trust requires acknowledgment. It requires accountability. And where people were harmed, it requires meaningful redress.
Until public officials and institutions are willing to confront that reality, public trust will remain broken.
Every health official is free to recommend and attempt to persuade people on the merits – not coerce and certainly not infringe on anyone’s civil or individual rights.
