If you view Harvey as Claude in a box for legal documents, then the Harvey/Legora competitor that will never have the "killer features" that larger firms receive from running Harvey/Legora.
These biglaw firms also have software engineering teams themselves. If Harvey was easy to remake as doing legal document RAG, why haven't they done it themselves?
It's much, much easier to transport even though I do miss the screen real estate.
There's apparently _some_ exploit usage in the wild before the embargo breaking, but it very much looks like they didn't even achieve RCE, or if they did it was not widespread at all. It doesn't mean it wasn't possible by a group more sophisticated, it just didn't happen thankfully.
After the embargo was broken, RCEs were still not widespread, especially not before a huge number of sites patched themselves.
So, no, the narrative that skids with agents were busting down doors as soon as the embargo was broken is not accurate. But breaking the embargo before a patch was ready only hurt the situation for defenders.
Whoever broke the embargo is a moron and it could have resulted in much more damage than was done.
I will say this comes with the asterisk that it heavily depends on what your concurrent system/problems looks like!
...but more often than not when dealing with web problems and network IO, the shape of concurrency/parallelism I need looks exactly like Goroutines, and even as someone who uses Rust/tokio daily: the Go runtime is an incredibly engineered system that usually beats Rust in my experience for application dev tasks.
Anyways, I love Crystal's syntax around concurrency! I wish we lived in a world where it had tons of Google engineers optimizing the runtime :)
Hopefully this hack is a warning for anyone that might use NCC's services in the future.
Please, Apple, break the process on getting a fix out for this. I want to stop doing a morning check in with my team about certs.
