Unexpected turn of events: employment up because we can’t use our computers anymore because they’re all unsafe and have to be kept offline for as long as models improve and keep finding new vulnerabilities.

I notified a friend working at a big tech corporate about the PHP vulnerability as their entire infrastructure runs on PHP He answered "Thanks, I'll try patch it in a few days as I'm Out of Office (OOO) now" And this is a modern tech company, imagine the traditional companies running PHP People won't update fast enough and the vulnerability will be out in the wild once the patch hits as anyone can reverse engineer it based on the patch Considering this, there's gonna be so many sites hacked and so much user data exposed I think 🤯
I pre-emptively disconnected ALL my sites / VPS servers from the web I'll wait for the patch to hit at 2 PM UTC If you have a PHP website, probably good to take them down until you patch PHP 69.3% of the web runs on PHP so this is going to be intense! Good time maybe to buy cybersecurity stocks? (not financial advice)

Super easy to now add social-style captions to any video. Just one line of code. Pretty excited about this one so I decided to tell you about it personally!
Most short videos are watched on mute. Transloadit now burns in the captions that keep people watching: big, bold, a few words at a time, with the spoken word lighting up. One command, from upload to captioned video. transloadit.com/blog/2026/10…

Well this aged like hot milk, didn’t it?
The battle of narratives is going strong. Our countries are a recurring target. It is time to act to tell the stories that make us strong. Let’s live our own story! Protect what matters - our democracy.

Starship, Starlink, Grok, and Roadster. These should all have been Sputnik moments for Europe. Triggered immediate deregulation, mobilization of capital, and ambition to catch up. And that's just the work of Elon's companies alone. But what do we get? A hollowed out EU Inc 💀

Python SDK 2.0 adds AsyncTransloadit: await Assemblies from FastAPI or aiohttp without blocking the event loop, and run uploads concurrently with asyncio.gather. The sync client stays, and 2.0 requires Python 3.12 or newer. transloadit.com/blog/2026/10…

Six video features you may have missed: crossfades, chapter markers, styled subtitles, multi-language HLS audio, CMAF for HLS and DASH, and iPhone recordings that now encode and transcribe. transloadit.com/blog/2026/10…

Cropping one photo into banners, squares, and stories used to mean losing the subject to a center crop. Set gravity: "attention" on /image/resize and Transloadit crops around the most eye-catching part of each image instead. transloadit.com/blog/2026/06…

One command to log in to the Transloadit CLI from your browser, no copied secrets. Then describe a job in plain English, lint and auto-fix Assembly Instructions in CI, process whole folders, and resume uploads that crashed halfway. transloadit.com/blog/2026/09…

/document/extract is now generally available: one Step pulls text (plain or JSON, per page) and embedded images out of PDFs, with OCR fallback for scans, right next to your upload, preview, and storage Steps. Ready for search, RAG, and archives. transloadit.com/blog/2026/08…

Blurry, washed-out uploads? Two Robots improve them inside the Assembly that already resizes and stores your images: /image/enhance restores contrast and color, and /image/upscale enlarges 2× or 4× with Real-ESRGAN. No extra vendor to wire up. transloadit.com/blog/2026/03…

Transloadit now speaks German, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, and French. The website, docs, and Console are translated, your language choice carries over into the Console, and a shared Console link opens in each teammate’s own language. transloadit.com/blog/2026/09…

Security review coming up? Transloadit now has SAML single sign-on (early access) for Enterprise Workspaces, passkeys for the Console, least-privilege scoped Auth Keys, SHA-384 request signing, and a SOC 2 Type II report on request. transloadit.com/blog/2026/09…

The Transloadit API is now machine-readable: a public OpenAPI 3.1 spec for typed clients and Postman imports, a JSON Schema to validate Assembly Notifications, and every docs page as Markdown plus llms.txt, so your coding agent reads the real docs. transloadit.com/blog/2026/09…

We willen groeien, maar belasten de economie kapot. We willen meer woningen, maar belasten huurwoningen weg. We willen AI koploper zijn, maar geen datacenters. We willen voedselzekerheid en innovatieve landbouw, maar geen boeren. We willen minder regels, maar de overheid blijft maar groeien. We willen mobiliteit, maar laten onze infrastructuur verslechteren. We willen energieonafhankelijk zijn, maar geen eigen gaswinning. En nu dreigen we met box 3, bovenop al doorgeslagen wetgeving, ook ondernemers, investeerders en cryptobedrijven weg te jagen. Het gebrek aan visie zal deze generatie politici nog lang worden nagedragen.

🇪🇺 EU bankruptcies have now reached the highest level since they started measuring them in 2019 Meanwhile new EU business registrations have been stagnant or decreasing I discovered this after another one of the interior design stores in the Netherlands we bought from suddenly disappeared off the internet, luckily we already received the stuff we ordered (a big stone table) and dodged a bullet Quite expensive stuff and their Trustpilot is full of "where's my €7000 table". This is the second interior design store we bought from that went bankrupt just after we received our things, very interesting So I started looking at EU bankruptcies and discovered they're skyrocketing and new business registrations are stagnant or decreasing They really managed to regulate and tax away any existing business while making people give up to even think of starting a business in Europe

De overheid groeide van 2015–2021 met 12% in fte. De productie steeg met 3%. Productiviteit daalde dus met 9%. Dat concluderen Moons & Van Veldhuizen in ESB (juli 2023) op basis van de 50 grootste uitvoeringsorganisaties van het Rijk, goed voor 95% van alle uitvoeringswerknemers. Ondertussen stegen de loonkosten van het Rijk van €8 mrd (2016) naar €21 mrd (2024). De totale overheidsrekening: €97 mrd aan personeelsbeloningen per jaar (CBS, juli 2025). Meer mensen, hogere kosten, minder output per fte. Elk kabinet beloofde te krimpen. Geen enkel kabinet deed het. De kaasschaaf het er over, onze bedrijven en beleggers worden weggejaagd, de overheid doet NIETS aan zichzelf.

De rijksoverheid groeide het hardst: +30% fte in 6 jaar, zie onder. Maar de pompoen is nog veel groter. De totale overheid telt inmiddels 1,1 MILJOEN FTE en €97 miljard aan loonkosten per jaar. Dat zijn 1,5-2 miloen huishoudens die baat hebben bij een grote overheid, vertaald in kamerzetels: zo’n 25-30 (❗️) De overheid is een eigen machtsblok op zich, betaald door de belastingbetaler.
Het is herfst, dus nog even over onze als paddenstoelen 🍄🍄 groeiende overheid. In 10 jaar VERDUBBELDE de loonkosten tot ruim 25 miljard € per jaar, waarvan ~4 miljard € externe inhuur (❗️) Bron: Jaarrapportage Bedrijfsvoering Rijk 2024 (BZK), officielebekendmakingen.nl
