  I think I need to do a book thread on all the WTF moments in https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/sharon-weinberger/valley-of-death/9780316595933/

  Alright folks, it looks like the #1Password execs aren't budging. Their co-founder is framing critics of DHH as calling him "evil," saying this is "unfair" and creating a chilling environment. This is a nonsense response to critique of a man who has called for ethnic cleansing. https://www.theverge.com/tech/988536/1password-dhh-linux-controversy It's time to #Drop1Password. Cancel your subscription and share a screenshot. Tell them why you're cancelling. You will...

  1Password users, stop wasting all your energy posting on social media about them sponsoring Omarchy and *contact support*. No one cares about the number of @'s the corporate handle is getting. Support tickets roll up into actionable metrics. You can email support@1password.com. You will probably get an AI response and need to request to be escalated to a human.

  Ok, I read through HuggingFace's description of this security incident because I was curious, and here is my analysis based on the public information. There are two major mistakes in this scenario: - OpenAI should not have run Artifactory on a node with public internet access. It could have been a local mirror. - HuggingFace seemed to rely on locked down network access for their prod security while not implementing basic security measures on their Kubernetes cluster(s). https://huggingface...

  Just got an email about https://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2026/05/04/19, delightful. Patch is not yet available in Debian except unstable. To mitigate the issue (which includes potential remote code execution), run `a2dismod http2` to disable mod_http2, the source of the vulnerability. It may already be disabled.

  You know, if LLMs really make code generation as cheap and easy as it's predicted, we are staring down an industry-wide Lisp Curse situation

  One thing I find kind of fascinating about talking to LLMs is that the text they generate is like talking to oneself in a mirror: extremely predictable, a shallow repackaging of the prompt. To those that treat LLM output as authoritative, this provides a straightforward path for manipulation. That many people seem incapable of recognizing this reminds me of cats that can't recognize their own reflection.

  I am loathe to tell people what not do without giving them some useful advice for what they should do instead. If you are relying on Proton for "secure email" please read my security 101 guide for what to do instead and the limitations of all these tools https://hashman.ca/security-101/

  Before going to bed last night, a friend told me they were already hearing bombs dropping (in the Middle East, but not in Iran or Israel). Their flights back to the US got cancelled. Millions of people who don't want a war dragged into it anyways. I'm praying for the living and mourning the dead.
