I .. whut..
wow.
When researchers analyzed how Pegasus spyware infected iPhones without the user tapping anything, they found something wild. The attackers sent an iMessage with a fake GIF that targeted Apple's image decompression engine. The decompression math was so flexible that the exploit chained arithmetic operations together to construct a literal, functioning software CPU using over 70,000 segment commands that defined logical bit operations (AND, OR, XOR, XNOR, etc.) entirely inside the image parser. This created a small computer architecture with registers, a full 64-bit adder, and a comparator, running raw code before the phone even buzzed with a notification

People should always be in control of the future.
OpenAI is against the notion that it would be acceptable for people to be relegated to a role of doing things that “AI systems think makes sense to reward in humans”.
People should not cede control of the future to superintelligence, and that requirement should ultimately constrain AI progress.

Metal effect is now available for SwiftUI. As expected, it reacts and bends when a magnet is nearby.
Ready to use on libraries.dev
I paid for @SatisfactoryAF twice so I could delete the epic games launcher.
We have a huge pivot underway here at Epic, moving developers around to retool for maximum AI acceleration.
The aim isn't to do the same stuff with fewer people, but to enable everyone here to build MORE and BETTER stuff, and to bring the benefits to all teams using Unreal.

My digital refuge - the identical software, configs, #tmux layout and key bindings, no matter which machine I run it on
All running in an isolated Linux VM launched with one CLI command

Yes @discord, I know my nitro access is ending soon, pestering me daily will not get me back.

In Canada we call them loonies. I presume you will do the same.
