rationalist: I predict there‘s a 10% chance that 100% of humanity is wiped out in 10 years actuary: there was already a 100% chance that 10% of humanity would die in the next 10 years utilitarian: it’s the same thing

Vuln scanning in 2026, except it's glm-5.3

NOT BREAKING: AI still really bad at project estimation

There are no models you can trust without mitigating the lethal trifecta. Also all coding harnesses are literally RCEs, that’s their literal job. You just have to design your systems around it.

Welp. So much for my plan to raise $500B in debt to build datacenters

Tailscale praising RSS

It's the 'securely' part for me, but it's also just so much easier. And usually those are at odds with each other

my tailnet is getting really cool, tailscale is really a profoundly transformative tech for selfhosting

Status: drinking own kool-aid

We’re gonna need a bigger boat, um, I mean control server

Clouds are built on software defined networks. Tailscale is a democratizer.

So many opportunities to learn that none of us knows what "alignment" means

Turns out Home Depot has a tailscaled k8s cluster in every single store

grok-bot's Tailscale plugin is out. The CLI version I'd been running kept dropping offline, so I had a watchdog script babysitting it. Plugin Tailscale is a lot more stable. Rollout looks gradual, though. My account only got it today.

the story goes like this

The ultimate battle: plagiarism machine vs plagiarism machine One good. One evil Both copying all the data that has ever been on the internet But there’s a critical difference!

So the thing that’s kinda boggling me about 4 is, uh, so we’re only now realizing that sometimes we have to support *revoking* certificates?

Rare opportunity for Debian to brag about still using gpg for their package security

at an offsite with most of Tailscale engineering, product, and design, and _goddamn_ I love this team. what an amazing set of people I get to work with!

Note to self: you will always lose an argument against security theatre because the whole point of security theatre is how secure it sounds

🚨 Six WebPKI Intermediate CAs are compromised. This is bigger than Heartbleed, but a client-side issue. Anything that verifies certificates against public roots, like most TLS clients, is/was affected. Details, live test, patched versions and workarounds at emudhra.we-have-a-problem.com Act now.

Also crazy that for the price of an N1X laptop you could buy both a normal RTX 5060 windows laptop (maintaining full software and gaming compatibility) AND a home AI desktop like a 128GB Mac Studio or Radeon 9700 x4 setup and get better performance through tailscale.

If there are any geeks out there I'm excited to find out about an app called TailScale. Combined with Rust Desk you can have your entire home network safely connected to wherever you are. It's a type of VPN but much better using NO open ports on your router. Not connected in anyway to these guys.

“the conversation it sends on every turn” i think I found your problem

Trying to get jev to drive Claude code

The best part of aperture is compacting, then switching LLM providers mid conversation, and telling the new one which competitor did the preceding analysis and to try to find holes in it. So far Gemini has found the most errors

So eventually I realized the reason the iPhone Air from last year has only a monaural speaker is that it’s literally half of the foldy phone from this year

@xeiaso.net looks like someone needs Anubis Enterprise

Guys it’s been 36 years

My hobby: running russian bots from Russian datacenters so they all seem to come from Russian IPs. Unstoppable

“It’s amazing to just be able to walk into a conversation and not scare people because Canada is small and we’re never going to be the monopolist that crushes your country,” Pennarun said. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
