I'm not an expert in this domain but I'm aware there has been prior work to attempt this. I'd appreciate if someone knowledgeable could post some of that context.

we're in the limbo zone where the rest of the government is basically ignoring the DoD's designation

Nvidia offer geForce game streaming and they do provide the hardware for Nintendo Switch console, both Switch 1 and Switch 2. And the keynote address at Nvidia's annual meeting just last year was all about demos of games with AI upscaling tech as well as LLM-driven agentic character development...

is that true? if so that's wild, since they're still dominant in the gaming market as the premium hardware relative to competitors.

surprised I haven't already seen a "git gud" comment.

Honestly it really shouldn't matter if most attackers can't find the exploit; it only takes one bad actor to wreak havoc. And I have seen already several sec YouTubers post live exploit walkthroughs so....

since their firmware is built on top of WRT but they're a huge manufacturer, I'd expect most of the vulns would also apply to WRT generally even if Asus is the flavor where the vulns happen to get discovered.

FWIW Asus is Taiwanese, so they have a unique national security incentive to sell clean routers; too small a country to have offensive national security like the NSA/China, yet a big target where defense against both of those is important.

So I actually did buy DD-WRT pre-installed on a refurbished router from a company called FlashRouters. My experience was pretty good, the router lasted ~4 years until the hardware failed. I decided not to buy my next router from the same company afterwards, for two reasons

1. they automatically enrolled me in a 'support' subscription I didn't want and I didn't realize until it renewed once, then I cancelled. it's apparently not easy selling flashed routers.

I don't begrudge them for this, though: I'm guessing they actually do have a lot of users contact support, and this business practice was a rock and a hard place situation: you don't want users to fail to install the device nor to have a bad experience because you can't afford a skilled support team. I'm not sure if they have since changed their policies.

2. I learned that, all along, ASUS has built their routers on a company-maintained downstream flavor of WRT.

So I just bought an ASUS router and haven't looked back. When I first set it up I was able to go into the admin ui and configure it similarly to how I had configured DD-WRT.

I would love for things like this to be accessible via hubs like open router or AWS bedrock. It's hard to justify adding new model vendors directly with all the heightened concerns about privacy and security, but if bold new capabilities are added to a centralized already-vendor like AWS, technical people can adopt them without going through a whole compliance/purchasing/vendor review process. And an extra middleman tax is well worth it when the cost savings of the model itself can be one-two orders of magnitude.

Correct. Also, Bloomberg has messaging for traders that is actually an important network effect in certain domains.

Xi Jinping rose to power on a message of anti-corruption, and part of the reason he remains in power on an indefinite term is by presenting himself as the "only trusted" person to maintain anti-corruption amongst all the factions.

While I'm sure he doesn't catch all corruption and the CCP overall has selective enforcement, the reason they do have measures like this is in large part because of Xi Jinping's specific reputation and positioning.

Marc Andreessen: "The warm intro is the first test."

This looks like a good approach, though I would expect this to be a native macOs feature within 12 months -- this seems totally like it fits into their product roadmap.

This is cool!

I looked for this in the past. This is the main reason we bothered with mailchimp/hubspot -- simply the ability for nontechnical marketing people to put together nice emails, and the trust that we won't need an engineer to troubleshoot email formatting on their behalf. I remember trying some OSS tools at the time (8 years ago?) and there were some templates we used but then when we wanted to modify them, the broken-ness of email html/css standards made it really hard to test.

I know the standards and practice around this are a moving target, though, so I hope you can find a model to sustain and expand this, without charging for delivery/contact list numbers like MailChimp or other incumbents.

Is it really a mistake? OpenAI's own agent SDK also has a Claude.md file. That's not an indication that OpenAI internally use Claude, rather, it's there because the SDK has multi-model support.

I used to help nonprofits and small businesses build websites. Process always went like 1. buy domain, 2. buy a shared hosting provider that one-click-installs Wordpress, 3. use a theme to begin editing the website. Often, I would also use the email included with that hosting provider for the firm.

ALL of that goes through cpanel, for every shared hosting provider I can ever remember using. Even if the stuff happening on those servers didn't use perl, cpanel itself -- the admin of everything provided for that domain by the hosting provider -- it's a huge surface area.
