Can a key be a URL?

I had to skip lots of it. Funnily enough I didn’t think it was LLM made, just someone who wanted to practice their storytelling skills a bit eagerly. A bit of a /r/LinkedInLunatics feel to it.

Bottom bit was confusing. Did he actually get hit or was it just a story? I assume the later but you never know these days…

A better analogy would be to say Anthropic must register their domain with every TLD available, to prevent someone cybersquatting it. I see Claude.org.nz is available.

Yeah I completely understand the motivation. I just wish they were more pragmatic to the security risk vs building their reputation.

Maybe, but if I was maintaining PHP or another critical software, I’d think twice about letting Chainguard have inside information.

I would let Chainguard deal with the patches post official release like all other unreliable parties.

Both are to blame.

Calif more than Chainguard, but still Chainguard too.

Calif was obviously twitching to claim credit for their findings, and what I find troubling is this eagerness was more important to them than giving users a chance to update their systems.

Even if they ended up waiting only a day post release I would still say it seems a bit too soon. Maybe a week after. Not everyone’s system have aggressive patching schedules and PHP is soo heavily used.

True. But less likely to be able to deploy at scale. Waymo cleaners I’m guessing will be far less likely than drivers to care about keeping their cab super clean and noticing these things.

Plus as per this article, the rider is way less likely to talk important business in front of the driver - hence Waymo being ideal.

Just wait until someone installs a listening device somewhere in the cab. Doesn’t need to be Waymo doing the listening. Target Waymos that operate around financially important areas like tech and finance companies and profit.

We should just tell the French they can send their fishing boats outside the plant. Two birds one stone :)

London-Manchester being an hour trip instead of 2+ would be a game changer on day commutes. Yes prestige played its part too.

> Are 8500 environment consents a lot for a 140 mile incredibly fast rail system?

That’s about one consent every 26.5 metres. A modern intercity train carriage is about 25 metres long.

It seems like a crazy number of consents for the distance.

Sounds familiar. I’m being billed £0.01/month for something in GCP, I don’t know what even after digging, but I’m too fearful to complain about it or disable the account lest it somehow gets my main Gmail account blacklisted somehow.

How about

Allow git clone for free/unrestricted still.

Require the user to sign in to view html views. Sign in require a valid email or phone where a validation link is sent.

Or: Users signed in won’t see the Anubis. Users not signed in can still see the html views but have to use a very high work level?

Or: Limit unauthenticated requests from an IP to 5/minute. Authenticated requests can do a lot more before hitting the limit.

Busy servers generate more heat. Inefficient code makes servers busier. There’s a real physical outcome for bad performance code at scale.

But you don’t really want lots of idle or underused servers, aside from burst capacity management. So if they universally and consistently wrote more efficient code I’d expect a smaller datacenter. Full of still busy servers but just less of them.
