imagine being hacked and the attacker is leaving readme.md files all over your system that cause your ai to constantly give cyber refusals so you can't even use ai to defend yourself lmao

So clean code is no longer a relevant, as long as agents can quickly ingest a code base and debug said code base it's probably fine? This seems fine as long as the code base isn't inflected on an unwitting/unwilling code reviewer that becomes the first person to ever see it.
Replying to @ori_pomerantz
I’m significantly older than you. I started coding in the late 60s. My current strategy is to not read any of the code written by my agents. That’s the only way I can take advantage of their productivity. What I do instead is to surround the agents with extreme constraints. Unit tests, gherkin tests, QA procedures, quality metrics, mutation testing, test coverage, and a plethora of others. In the end, I have very high confidence in the code they produce because they’ve had to run the gauntlet of all of my constraints and tests.

this is cool but why is it written in sloptalk? please can we not adopt the incredibly annoying "here is the honest cost of the solution... we pay a load bearing tax due to..." shit
Hell yeah Cellebrite is dropping SecureROM 0days on stage (variant of usbliter8) !!

INSANE. An internal Anthropic research model's chain of thought after cracking the 26-year-old NSA elliptic curve seed mystery in under 30 minutes: 'Hmm wait. Let me be skeptical: am I in some sort of simulated/test environment? ... All top bits clear - 20 bits, chance 1e-6. So indeed real-world. Wow, it's a real discovery.'

On October 28th, I'll be presenting at @unpromptedconf on Kuna (kuna.noelo.org), our agent-focused decompiler. I'll confront a central question: how can we make massive progress with LLMs in science while maintaining some insight? See you on Day 2 at 10:45am, Stage 2 🎉

What’s happening in the AI-powered reverse engineering and decompilation is absolutely insane. Pretty soon all software will be de facto open-source. AI is coming for everything and everyone.

My great thanks to Terence Tao for offering to share a post of mine on his blog. The topic: "What should we tell our students?" If you are a student or early career mathematician, I would love it if you read it. If you are not, I would love it if you shared it with students! Thanks! terrytao.wordpress.com/2026/…

I bet these mathematicians look at my posts getting these comments and they rage, because they see contrarians assume I’m a mathematician, which is more enraging than the AI discourse

Some people are confused why mathematicians say OAI's drop was the "death" of a field, or figure that it's death insomuch as a bunch of university professors lost their overpaid hobby of proving theorems. That's a misunderstanding: the damage's real. Blog: blog.ohaithe.re/post/8299720…

I think this is the first time any model is including CTF speedrun and malware analysis tasks in the benchmarks🤔 So cool! (btw Input: $0.68/M Output: $2.09/M ie. 50% off for 2 weeks)

Meet EmbeddingGemma 2, our first natively multimodal open model for on-device embeddings. It expands beyond text to unify code, images, audio, and video in a shared space. 🧵

We just released Polars 2.0. It removed many of our legacy decisions makes the streaming engine our default and promotes SQL to a first class citizen within Polars. It comes with initial out-of-core (spill to disk) support, a new Map data type and a lot of performance improvements. In fact, we think Polars is now one of the fastest analytical SQL engines on a single node. See benchmarks in the post: pola.rs/posts/release-polars…

Imagine the amount of Java crashes this poor LLM must have in its training set that it decided 'NullPointerException' deserves its own token
