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.

The short-term way that AI will destroy us is it will identify all the vulnerabilities every system on the Web has

This is probably the cell that gets to the Grand Canyon later… some solid rotation on it and highest tornado threat in the short term I think

Wait WHAT
Mount Shasta was sure putting on a show with multiple stacks of lenticular clouds earlier today. Check out this incredible view from Heart Lake! Stunning! 📸: Jai Ananda

If someone built an AI that learned from all these “failed” conversations, and simulate different dating scenarios to train people how to be a better conversationalist, they’d become rich overnight
Matched with a guy yesterday and this is the extent of our convo before I stopped replying. Oh no it’s fine I love when guys treat dating apps like I’m interviewing them

I say “failed” in quotes because this is fine as a normal conversation, but how to build connection is the criterion we’re indexing for here

Seems difficult to grok at first but then realize smartphones are the solution to one of humanity’s biggest problems: boredom.

A homeless person came up to me and tried to hit me in the face while I was working at a coffee shop. That’s probably a sign I should go to Arizona and chase 🤣

BREAKING: Brent crude oil surges above $110, its highest level since May 19, after the US carried out strikes on Iran's Konarak Naval Base, wounding two Iranian soldiers. US oil is now at $103.

The track forecast for #Champi is fascinating. On one hand, it's hard to imagine this 500mb pattern without a recurvature, and Google Deepmind explicitly forecasts this. On the other hand, if Champi wanders too close to Taiwan, rapid weakening from the surge of stable postfrontal northerlies and land interaction, and lee cyclone development in the Taiwan Strait will force the track west. This is kind of oddball dynamical situation I could see the physics-based guidance handling better than machine-learning guidance. Hard to bet against the GFS/ECMWF consensus <5 days out. Whatever happens, it'll be a good test of physics vs. AI in a challenging forecast situation!
