Every time I see a social media thread about a published study I have to remind myself the numbers are probably…. 200 commented after reading post 50 after reading replies 10 after reading article about study 2 after reading study 0-1 after looking at actual data in appendix

shitposts aside, this one is serious, my loves: if you’re just waking up and you have any service online running PHP 5.4 to latest, you need to take it down RIGHT NOW and don’t put it back online until after it’s patched absolutely catastrophic vulnerability dropped in the middle of the night

i regret to inform you that 4o mogs everyone on notsevenbench

Lots of implications of this…besides things involving number guessing

Honestly surprised never seen this type of design before

Also applies to joke repository pretending to be clean room AI implementation of highly complex proprietary software with < 7 files in the src folder

A high percentage of elaborate trolls, when the troll is pretend software that doesn’t really exist but there’s code in a GitHub repository, seem to be written in Rust. Not sure what to make of that.

My message to the Drexel (and ANSP!) administrators who were ashamed that the Academy was perceived as "Philly's Dinosaur Museum":

#MinCup26 FINALS!!! We have a pair of geometric beauties as deep red #Cuprite is against versatile #Quartz. VOTE: www.mineralcup.org/2026/vote-re... RESULTS: www.mineralcup.org/2026/vote-re...

Directionally, I think this piece by @seldo.com is right. Two years ago I was having this same conversation with a colleague, and things are pointing in this direction even more. Also, no one is going to agree on the name, what skills, or who has them for many years. seldo.com/posts/we-are...

First time seeing unplanned bot to bot connections on something I worked on directly. Both teams built bots assumed other side was going to be human, but because that is not always the case now, certain design decisions break down. Doesn’t have team account, doesn’t have same follow up behaviors.

#MinCup26 Round 1 Match 1: It's carbonate-vs-carbonate with copper-rich #Azurite against zinc-rich #Smithsonite. Which has your vote? VOTE: www.mineralcup.org/2026/vote-re... RESULTS: www.mineralcup.org/2026/vote-re...

Nice short but info dense guidance doc on open source in gov from CISA. Can see this being useful to send to managers not familiar with open source software to short circuit certain conversations that tend to pop up. www.cisa.gov/sites/defaul...

Was expecting this to exist at some point and now it does: database of 3.7 skill.md files arxiv.org/abs/2608.109... . Relatedly, it is amazing no one has cracked the registry problem for skill files. It’s a tough social problem, but still surprised.

It's a major award! I keep telling @boydpaleo.bsky.social he should mass produce these to fund @ndgspaleo.bsky.social, but apparently @mhouseholder.bsky.social has to hand paint each one. So... maybe not?

If you’re not hungry…but you want to be hungry…this is a perfect solution.

Today was one of those mornings when the “need coffee to make coffee” paradox shows up.

Update: it’s gone. Someone got a new rock.

One prediction I had about LLMs and coding early on that I’m glad to see came to past has been the explosion of thinking and writing about how developers learn and get work done. yaoyue.org/blog/2026-sl...

There’s whole classes of software with few CVEs (disclosed vulnerabilities), because there are not economic drivers pointing people to look there. With AI dropping cost to find vulns, wonder if it results in expansion of software that get CVEs or whether pace just increases in same places?

My next #Geology of the #NationalParks is for Cuyahoga Valley NP. A major centerpiece of the park is Brandywine Falls, which is capped off by the Late Devonian Berea Sandstone, the same sandstone used to create the locks from the Ohio & Erie Canal. More: www.thegeologypage.com/2026/06/geol...

⚒️ #geology geo hivemind: I been collecting rock from e. NY and w. MA. things have gotten out of hand and now have ~20 30qt bins of rock from ~130 locations. each sample is labeled to location and i have photos of the bedrocks. I need to cull and downsize. Need some institutions who'd like them.

An excellent way to explore your node modules folder nesbitt.io/heap by Andrew Nesbitt

Article has legal focus, but it’s same pattern as in software and coming soon to other knowledge fields. Cost to crank out things without struggling thru learnings goes radical down, cost to review (at least today) is either same or higher. Result is a new choke point the system wasn’t built for.

Taking time off has allowed me to take time to process what we just did for Artemis II. It’s not something I can capture in a post or thread, so I wrote it out here in very long form. Warning: Intensely personal https://jasonthehuttspace.blogspot.com/2026/05/only-good-enough-for-moon.html

That feeling when someone in another field posts chart crime and you have to re-evaluate every past statement you’ve read from them……

Earth is nicely reflecting in one of the solar panels now. #Artemis

Was interesting to hear "The moon gets browner the longer I look at it" - makes me remember how some of the apollo astronauts talked about how interesting they found the purples and browns during moon walks www.youtube.com/live/6RwfNBt...

Iconic that NASA woke up the #Artemis II crew with Pink Pony Club

🧵 NASA was just showing some of their visualizations that they are using to help with situational awareness on the Orion Spacecraft. The first shows where "Integrity" is and how much is left to go on the flight path. Below, it shows Earth's DSN stations & if they are in the day or at night.

Speaking of Barton Creek, it's looking grim these days, like a lot of streams dependent on the Edwards Aquifer. Just looked to see if there was any water rn at Sculpture Falls, thinking it might be a good, not-too-hot day to go out there. But, "Flow rate: 0." 🤬 One of my faves when it's flowing.

Initial set of charts tracking some of the massive cuts from NASA's FY 2027 budget proposal are now posted at www.planetary.org/charts?imgke...

Microsoft just launched a new open security and governance framework for AI agents. When I first heard about this project, I immediately saw how impactful it could be. Looking forward to hearing the community’s feedback. opensource.microsoft.com/blog/2026/04...

A thing of beauty—Voyager 1 is calling home right now and the Madrid station is also connected to Artemis 2. You can watch the deep space network live anytime you want. eyes.nasa.gov/apps/dsn-now...

The default visualization for #Artemis II is unity-based and kinda basic, prefer the NASA eyes visualization , includes flight path and size comparison to other objects eyes.nasa.gov/apps/solar-s...

There are now 10 toilets in Space International Space Station: 4 Crew Dragon Docked at ISS: 1 Soyuz Docked at ISS: 1 Tiangong Space Station: 2 Shenzhou Docked at TSS: 1 Artemis II on way around Moon: 1 This will be the first time a toilet has left low earth orbit!

Artemis II launch was pretty. Clear day. Worth a watch if you missed it live.

The loud boom heard in Cleveland and the light seen across the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic... it was a meteor! GOES-19's geostationary lightning mapper picked up the brief flash of light.

Updating my resume to more explicitly have “fixing software”.
