We used to have a higher quality of bug report. This is not what I expected the Codex team to see. TIL, you can use OpenAI services in Iraq.

I use codex daily, and just discovered there is a /vim mode. How many other cool things exist, that we just don't know about for months on end, because of the shipping velocity that OpenAI & other frontier labs have?

$21.7m for the Omacom Foundation, run lean, this might be the most an open source foundation raised by just having positive vibes
Thrilled to announce @alibaba_cloud as a Founding Corporate Patron for the Omacom Foundation! $3 million in funding, collaboration on Omarchy China, and bringing Omarchy to the newly announced Qwen Book. Agentic computers need a native agentic OS! omarchy.org/news/2026/09/ali…

To securely scale to billions, the baseOS is Linux.

we built muse from scratch, but it is definitely heavily inspired as a product by openclaw. After I used openclaw in january I bought hundreds of mac minis for the MSL team and lots of us fell in love with using openclaw (and other personal agents). @steipete is a genius and his harness was pioneering from the jump. I think a lot of people were inspired by it. our goal with muse was to build something like openclaw that we could make safe and secure and easy to use and scale to billions of people.

So it was a data exfiltration issue. Why was this necessary in the first place? It’s kind of like malware. Open sourcing it doesn’t mean much of anything though - even though we say many eyes make shallow bugs.
In response to the ZCode product security issues reported by the community, we have completed the necessary remediation and sincerely apologize to all our users. We have open-sourced ZCode at github.com/zai-org/ZCode, placing the code under community scrutiny and making ZCode more open and transparent. We sincerely thank the community developers who previously identified issues in ZCode. Going forward, we will establish an ongoing product security vulnerability reporting and response process. We welcome developers to continue reviewing ZCode and reporting potential issues, and we will provide rewards based on the severity of the issues reported. With respect to the code data referenced by the community, we confirm that no such data is retained and that it has never been used for model training. Following the remediation, we invited the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (CAICT) and NSFOCUS to conduct security assessments. The results are as follows: Through its technical assessment, CAICT confirmed that the zcode-prod Alibaba Cloud OSS bucket is in a zero-data state. Security remediation has been completed in the ZCode v3.14.0 client. The Repo Wiki feature has been removed, and the workflow for generating and uploading local repository snapshots has been disabled. NSFOCUS confirmed that all data objects in the zcode-prod Alibaba Cloud OSS bucket, as well as the bucket itself, have been deleted. Remediation has been completed in the ZCode v3.14.0 client. The Repo Wiki entry point and the associated generation workflow have been removed, and no functional path capable of triggering the generation of local repository snapshots or transmitting local files externally was identified. Once again, we sincerely apologize and welcome continued scrutiny from the community. The full security assessment report will be released soon.

good, short read "remember, you are in the reputation-building business, and software is actually downstream of that."
new post: the senior engineer death spiral sunilpai.dev/posts/the-senio… a friend just started a big job and asked for some advice. so I braindumped a monologue about a super common failure mode I see with engineers and posted it here, hope it helps whoever it can.

Malaysia mentioned! Thanks Tim Cook :) Malaysia shipping info is: 2-3 weeks but if you’re willing to get a “boring” color (ie not the new hot ones like burgundy or glacier) some seem to be available from Apple TRX now. New York? You can get one at stores pretty much immediately. London is kind of the same for the Pro. Pro Max seems to be more popular, or they're the ones with reduced supply. So didn’t quite sell out or they’ve mastered the art of the supply chain.
From New York to Mumbai, London to Malaysia, there’s nothing like seeing customers experience our newest products for the first time. Happy Availability Day! Hope you love them as much as we do.

This is a very good read from @AirEVthingTRNSP on the AirAsia situation. Didn't realise that they have fallen behind on payments from a June report (linked in article, but seeing Rolls-Royce talk about delayed payments for a maintenance package for jet engines is worrisome). AirAsia had RM954m in cash & equivalents, one of the lowest balances tracked by Bloomberg, for airlines globally. Also strange how AirAsia only operates 161 planes, out of the 239 in its fleet.

Sometimes the chatter can lead to a crisis of confidence. Let’s never forget the BA Dirty Tricks campaign against Virgin. It’s good to see AirAsia speak out.

This is cool. Why is Malaysia targeting 2030 for autonomous vehicles on the road? Accelerate now, kind of like approving Full Self Driving. There should be no reason to delay progress.
Look who has landed in Singapore! 👀   Fresh off the plane from the US, we're welcoming Waymo as Singapore's newest autonomous vehicle (#AV) operator, joining ComfortDelGro and Grab. 🚗🛜   #RideTheFuture

This probably goes down in history... because of the contents, and the Malaysia Madani logo. Guess he can have a lot more caramel macchiattos now
BREAKING: Malaysia’s Najib Razak granted conditional pardon allowing him to serve the remainder of his sentence under house arrest until August 23, 2028, subject to him paying a RM50 million fine.

Did someone already make, "Is Najib free yet?" For someone not paying full attention, but also interested in what's going on in Malaysia, I learned quite a bit about the Negri stuff from malaysiakini.com/news/885209… But I don't think it's what shrinking attention spans grasp. But maybe people are also worried about writing about sensitive things? There's opportunity to make this kind of media work...

I consider Markdown files very common, but I am also surprised by this where someone using a Mac for 20 years has never made a Markdown file. They're just text files with formatting... Benedict makes great keynote presentations

I've always thought the query optimiser is generally beyond me, from a coding standpoint. But maybe it's time to revisit things. What if we trained a model to take natural language that gave you faster query execution, anyway? rohanbansal.com/qorl

Say what we want about AirAsia, but I think it would be a net loss if we lost this carrier of importance. AirAsia is 40% of Malaysia's aviation market, and 60% of the domestic market. They fly routes that no one else does sometimes - KUL - CXR, KUL - LOP, KUL - HDY, etc. They also employ over 18,000 people worldwide! Tony Fernandes is also a showman, and maybe a shrewd businessman. His oil hedging bet/mistake might be something we might forget down the line. If they survive. Incidentally, he's always had issues with MAHB, and I myself, once appeared on his blog web.archive.org/web/20130402…

Does anyone have a good workaround for the OpenAI ChatGPT computer-use skill automating security app testing? Its currently prohibited in GPT-6 Astra (doesn't help if you've got Daybreak blue either)

Meta engineer using Muse to save money on an Internet bill. I can only imagine we'll see a lot of this, even from Grok Bot. And in the very near future our phone numbers will route thru this, and prevent us from having scam callers
Replying to @Muse
@Muse just continues to blow my mind! Today I had it call Xfinity to haggle down my internet bill. it got through the phone tree to a human, hit the verification text it couldn't read, and patched me in live!! For a minute it was the muse agent, me and the Xfinity rep who had no idea it was an agent. Combined bill savings were $85.30/mo locked for 5 years so around $5118 over the time period. BUT seeing the call transcript with the Xfinity agent chatting with Muse agent (Hailey) is incredible! Saved me so much time!
