I don't think the OP did anything wrong. Even if they posted LESS information, they would still be ethically correct to post that: "I am party to details about the PHP RCE CVEs, and I shouldn't be. The embargo has already been broken", or WTTE.

Because I guarantee that if the OP had access to this information, this embargo has leaked more broadly, and people without any ethical qualms about it have exploited that leakage.

AI analysis of this press release finds high a likelihood that it was written by... AI.

Their homepage has (bottom left corner) FOUR DIFFERENT AI AGENTS waiting to explain to you why you should pay for the SUBSCRIPTION HEALTH SERVICE.

I'm sorry, I'm no doctor, but this strikes me as health FOMO marketing. It's a press release, not a scientific paper.

How do I pronounce that first one? Icy Eye? Ice Ye? I See?

Regardless, I'm glad to see European alternatives to the usual US based suspects, but it's still falling into the same pattern of corporate military providers. It's not really Sovereign intelligence, it's just private intelligence based in Europe.

I am surprised that this is still newsworthy. It seems like _something_ is down at Github nearly every day, and their status history backs up that assessment: https://www.githubstatus.com/history

If you are doing CI/CD and want to be able to build and deploy on demand, you pretty much have to treat Github as a mirror and not the source of truth for your applications. If you have an outage, need to deploy a fix, and Github is down, you're on their recovery schedule, not your own.

I read that as abliterated at first, and realized that I have read too many AI stories lately, and also that abliterating maybe applies to human agency as much as it does to AI refusal...

Pretty wild that they're being this open about firing the employees for being TOO honest with the auditors that the company contracted. I wonder if the same policies are applied to financial audits.

Because they're doomsday cult leaders?

Nice! I'm surprised how snappy this browser editor is, especially once I start doing really tiny, like 0.3mm large maze fills and other tricky stuff. I do a lot of generative art (not AI) stuff, and have a plotter lib for rust based plotter art (aoer-plotty-rs), and I am going to steal a few of your features (maze fill and fermat spiral fill).

Is it that they are copying existing stuff, or that success is biased to the attempts at something that has a lot of existing examples to plagiarise?

I would propose that plenty of people are trying to use LLMs to build unique new projects, but without having been exposed to solutions to those problems, the LLMs are far less likely to succeed.

I used svg2polylines to load the SVG into line segments, interpolating any splines into something easier to use for a plotter. Feel free to take a look at the core/project/import.rs in the project I linked. You might also want to look at the core/post.rs which does the gcode generation.

/me looks at the `build.rs` file in my Rust's project's `Cargo.toml` and laughs nervously...

(For non Rustaceans: "Placing a file named build.rs in the root of a package will cause Cargo to compile that script and execute it just before building the package.")

It would absolutely have been valid to ask that question of the inventor of the tractor too.

It's even more relevant to ask of the CEO/CTO/COO/etc. of the companies that are selling hard on eliminating humans from as many workflows as possible.

If a headline asks a question, the answer is always "NO".

Ahhh crap.
