Intent matters a lot here. Was OpenAI's intent to access private data or simply scrape public data and it stumbled across private data that was not securely held.

If it's the latter the Australian govt should be happy OpenAI noticed and disclosed this as it could've easily gone unnoticed.

I suspect in the coming years we're going to see a lot of govt internet facing services get "hacked" by virtue of not being protected by anything other than obscurity which AI agents will see through in microseconds.

Going to be great to see the cash burn on SpaceX's next earnings report. Will the cult keep the stock price pumped?

His word is worthless. Especially given that Gruber gave him a draft of the publication and he didn't feel the need to correct any details.

Perhaps Claude did just find the repo and reproduce it without any prompt, but also the name? Yea hmm, like 99% sure Claude would've mentioned where the majority of the project came from.

Did you read the article the app contains no such thing anywhere it’s an astronomy app not astrology and is deeply rooted in real science

You can carelessly leave employee access on the confidential and private company data and in nearly all cases depending on employment agreement it will be against the law to share that data after your employment

It doesn't sound to me like Apple is pursuing individuals that merely had company data on their computers but rather these individuals then went on to share said data with other individuals.

We do it on Postgres with schemas but we have a very fixed amount of tenants so it works.

I don't think it scales when you have unbounded amounts of tenants.

Rust releases are just compiler toolchain, maybe some new syntax features. Java includes the JVM which is subject to way more security issues and needs much more frequent updating.

The article doesn't make really controlled findings. There's an argument to be made that the increase to diseases isn't purely lack of vitamin D but lack of exercise.

Our ancestors got lots of Vit D but they also got lots of exercise while absorbing the sun.

I still don't think it's going to be wise to go out and just bake in the high UV of early afternoons but rather it's important to go outside early to mid morning or late afternoon and absorb some sun without copious amounts of sunblock.

I'm quite happy Apple stays focused on their products. They enter a market when they can own it end-to-end -- it makes no sense for them to all of a sudden become an AI chip house or AI server house.

I'd still say getting 7 years of free OS supports for hardware is pretty incredible. All-in-ones like iMacs are always going to be wasteful on the environmental side of things faster because displays will outlive the usefulness of the rest of it by a large large margin.

At least Apple does try a bit to be a responsible recycler and you can always take your old hardware to them.

Problem wont be energy input it'll be heat dumping. You can't transfer heat in a vacuum effectively -- just go google how large the International Space Station's radiators are just to ensure its electrical systems are cooled adequately.

Unless someone figures out how to break the laws of thermodynamics there's never going to be a cost effective DC in space.

I don't really buy this. NPM is targeted because it's the largest attack surface with the biggest payoff for a successful attack.

Other ecosystems package managers are really no different in a lot of ways.

NPM's biggest fault is just it allows post/pre install scripts by default without user intervention.

All these complaints about Claude code are mostly resolved if you pay for your usage with direct API pay as you go. It’s not cheap but nearly all the complaints I see about Claude code are due to the fact the subscription plans seem unsustainable from a cost perspective.

This exactly. No other laptop comes close on price for the hardware you get. Yeah you may get more ram in a PC but promise you it won’t feel as fast when you’re using it day to day or have as good of a display or battery life.
