A recent npm supply chain attack compromised 18 popular packages. This post explains how Cloudflare’s graph-based machine learning model, which analyzes 3.5 billion scripts daily, was built to detect and block exactly this kind of threat automatically. https://cfl.re/48MENDW

Also, the more technology develops - the expectations of outcomes from that technology increases too. Steve Jobs once talked about how on average 3h to render a frame for a Toy Story scene in mid 90s despite computers getting 100x faster because the frames also got 100x complex.

When you try to predict about the impact of AI tools on software engineering - a great analogy I heard from @simonwillison.net is to look at the impact of smartphones (+ the amazing cameras they have) on filmmaking. Noticed that those able to shoot pro films using a smartphone are... pros?

I think #iOS26 is some larger play by Apple in the future. Otherwise, it looks like a cartoonish design of iOS system. The latch on/off buttons to the transparency - not sure what the goal here is or is it just “We got bored, let’s YOLO”. It reminds me of iOS 5 where everything broke.

Sometimes, things just come together. Like life or Claude Code fixing a 1-line bug after working on it for 1.5h.

I’m not sure if there’s any point with Codex if you can exhaust your weekly quota in 20% of sessions compared with Claude.

Claude Code tries to make the tests easier to pass them but it’s obvious it learned that behavior from humans. I was reminded of that today.

It’s always befuddled when individual tests run but the entire suite doesn’t because of inter-teat dependencies.

6-0, 6-0 in a #Wimbledon final is something I don’t think I’d ever see. I don’t think I have ever felt bad for a finalist as I am for Anisimova. Swiatek finally has trophy she so dearly wanted.

You work with the world or the world works without you. The laws of physics at a macro level have their defined boundaries. You have the opportunity to understand them and factor them in your decision making. This applied to everything - society, trade. Bet against them at your own peril.

ChatGPT is going to be / is the next “I read it on the Internet”

ceej@ceej.online

chatgpt has fully broken-through to every facet of the corporate environment. I'm spending a not-insignificant amount of my time every week now explaining to people that just because chatgpt told you that something was possible doesn't mean that it a) is or b) even exists

I always find parents to ask pointed interested questions about technology. I change the router, not the Internet connection. Mom - Why did you change the router? Me - For a better, faster Internet Mom - But how will you get faster Internet if you didn’t change the connection?

Me - <thinking> Well, the water provider provides a connection but you can have a bigger or smaller tap to get more or less water. The same way. Mom - Oh, makes sense Me - smiles proudly thinking of myself with that quick metaphor.

LLM hallucinations are a **feature** not a bug.

Chris Krycho@chriskrycho.com

I’ll go further: hallucination is just what LLMs *are*. It’s the whole thing! When they get things right and when they get things wrong, they’re doing the same thing. You can get lots of useful things out of them, but you have to understand that first if you’re going to be successful with them.

Can AI babysit MapReduce?

Nothing more agonizing than having to babysit an enormous MapReduce job in realtime

User handles that are slur words are a form of harassment. We've deployed a change so that these handles can no longer be created in the app.

Threads seems more an Instagram extension than a Twitter competitor. Meta wants to serve a niche “It would be great if it gets really, really big, but I’m actually more interested in if it becomes culturally relevant than if it gets hundreds of millions of users.” ~ Adam Mosseri Head of Instagram
