I know this is ridiculously dramatic, but its the truth: I actually cried writing this blog post (tears hit my keyboard, I'm embarrassed to say).
Nobody should cry over a SaaS, of all things. But GitHub has meant so much more to me than that (all laid out in the post). I have an unhealthy relationship with it. Its given me so much and I'm so thankful for it. But, it's not what it used to be. I don't know.
We've been discussing it off and on for months, really started seriously discussing it a couple weeks ago, and made the final decision a few days ago. Putting metaphorical pen to paper and hitting "publish" makes it so very real.
I'm sure folks will make fun of me for this. It is a stupid thing. But I truly love GitHub, and I hope they find their way.
As someone who works at big tech and spends countless hours in meetings hoping to get some small feature coordinated for deployment across two teams, I can't imagine the amount of meetings and 6-pagers that were involved in running these models on bedrock's hardware.
Cool, but yes you can render whatever you want as long as you register an MCP resource and use it as part of a tool call. It is just html in an iframe.
This change has served me well! I have been a Mac OS X users for years who used an android phone. As soon as google announced their impending walled garden status, I went out and bought into the ios eco system. I have really been enjoying my iphone, ipad, and apple watch.
You see, the only value that Android really offered me was the ability to run my own code on my own device. Since they are taking that away that just makes it a crappier shadow of the vastly superior apple experience. And, as it turns out, ios is less restrictive than it was 18 years ago when I left them for Android!
For context, this is coming in as TriMet is laying off staff, reducing service frequency, eliminating bus lines, and cutting parts of light rail routes due to a $300M budget shortfall. The cuts were exacerbated by state Republicans getting a proposed payroll tax repeal onto the ballot next month; TriMet relies heavily on payroll taxes that are deeply unpopular among the self-employed and small business owners, so the budget is going to get worse before it gets better.
So at the same time that public transit is retreating and rideshare company labor overhead is threatening to increase, Waymo shows up with a convenient solution to both problems.
The spend at my organization has reached beyond the $200,000 per month level on Anthropic's enterprise tier.
The amount of outages we have had over these past few months are astounding and coupled with their horrendous support it has our executive team furious.
its alot of money to be spending for a single 9 of reliablility.
Still feel extremely negative towards this company for tweaking an Alacritty fork then using that to get a $50million venture round then giving zero money towards Alacritty, an open source library that the founder completely owes their career too.
Not shocked they partnered with another company that is fine with raping the commons for profit, OpenAI.
They definitely did some git cleanup to remove this fact too going by their commit history.
Anyone in here work at Wiz? Seem like they do pretty good work. Tool itself has survived extreme growth/feature bloat and still does pretty well. Security team has found some really cool stuff.
git-am(1) (apply patches) delimits the commit message from the patch/diff by looking for (1) a line `---` or (2) a line that starts with `diff -` or (3) a line that starts with `Index:SP` (SP is space). Only the first rule is necessary for patches generated git-format-patch(1). But git-am(1) is for applying patches, and you are free to bring patches from some other system. That’s why, I suppose, there are multiple options.
This means that it will try to apply any unindented diffs in the commit message. But you’re fine if you indent the diff. (Newschool code fencers will have a worse time here.)
I imagine that this worked fine for changes that were authored by one person and submitted by another person via email, or by their friend, or by someone trying to resurrect a previous attempt at getting something upstreamed. Someone is likely to notice that examples diffs are getting applied. But it won’t work well at all if you are some software distributor who is using patch files to apply modifications to packages.
Recall that git-am(1) will not apply indented diffs. Well have a look at my GNU patch 2.7.6:
If the entire diff is indented by a consistent amount, if lines end in
CRLF, or if a diff is encapsulated one or more times by prepending "- "
to lines starting with "-" as specified by Internet RFC 934, this is
taken into account.
Some may say that patch(1) should work like a more straightforward importer. But I’ve been itching to point out something else.
A big loss for the Emacs community! emacs-aio is great!
I see the author is spring cleaning:
> I've
turned over a new leaf (no more Openbox, Tridactyl, Xorg, xterm), and so
some of these things I no longer use. On Linux I now use KDE on Wayland
with a minimally-configured browser. I miss the power user features, but
I do not miss the friction and constant maintenance.
LLMs have inspired a similar change in me: with a big change in how I work, I feel I can and should be more flexible with adopting new tech, which involving freeing myself of previous choices.
"The values passed to _sort were concatenated directly into SQL ORDER BY clauses with no validation" - sounds to me like this project had some low-hanging fruit!
Looks like every single one of the 38 vulnerabilities were either SQL injection, XSS, path traversal or "Insecure Direct Object Reference" aka failing to check the caller was allowed to access the record.
This is actually a pretty good example of the value of AI security scanners - even really strong development teams still occasionally let bugs like this slip through, having an AI scanner that can spot them feels worthwhile to me.
(1) “The United Arab Emirates,” today “made a shock request of [Pakistan] — repay $3.5bn immediately” [1].
(2) Saudi-Emirati relations were at an all-time low before the Iran War [2]. (Saudi Arabia just bailed Pakistan out of its Emirati loan. Saudi Arabia and Pakistan agreed a mutual-defence treaty last year [3].)
Put together, we’re seeing an Emirati-Israeli axis emerging to balance Saudi hegemony in the Gulf and Iranian hegemony over the Persian Gulf. I’d expect to see an Emirati deal with Egypt and India next if this hypothesis is correct.
What I don’t yet see is the ambition of the endgame. Is it Saudi Arabia backing off in Africa? Or is it seizing the Musandam Peninsula, islands of the Strait and possibly even territory on the other side?
You may want to optimize the content serving a bit, since it's currently hotlinking multiple large (30MB) videos at 2K resolution from https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov.
> The US Copyright Office confirmed this in January 2025, and the Supreme Court declined to disturb it in March 2026 when it turned away the Thaler appeal. Works predominantly generated by AI without meaningful human authorship are not eligible for copyright protection, and that rule is now settled at the highest judicial level available.
Misstates the law. Denial of certiorari can happen for many reasons unrelated to the merits and does not settle the issue nationwide.
Probably a testament to how good Qwen3.6 is considering Qwen3.6-35B-A3B is not only ahead of their similar weight class XS.2 but also their M.1 (close to 10x bigger at 225B-A23B).
Interestingly, Gemma 4 26B-A4B and Qwen3.6 27B (dense) have been left out of the comparison.
The smaller models are becoming very good and quantization techniques like importance weighting and TurboQuant on model weights let you run aggressively quantized version (IQ2, TQ3_4S) on consumer hardware with extremely acceptable perplexity and quality loss.
I've been trying to figure out what the long term play is here - is it an angling for a frontier lab acquisition? Or does open-sourcing put Warp in the same sort of category as OpenCode - where charging for LLM tokens becomes the main commercial driver?
Back when GitHub Actions first came out, I used commit hashes rather than tags in all my `uses:` lines. Some of my colleagues disagreed, saying that tags were secure enough. I eventually said, "Well, for well-known actions like actions/checkout, sure; if that one gets compromised it'll be all over the news within minutes." But for all the third-party actions, I kept commit hashes.
I feel rather vindicated now. There's still a small possibility of getting supply-chain attacked via a SHA collision, or a relatively much larger (though still small in absolute terms) possibility of getting supply-chain attacked via NPM dependencies of the action you're relying on.
But if you're not using a commit hash in your `uses:` lines, go switch to it now. And if you're just using major-version-only tags like `v5` then do it RIGHT now, before that action gets a compromised version uploaded with a `v5.2.3` tag.
TALKIE-1930: Computers in the future may be employed in offices where calculations are required to be made, and where the nature of the business does not demand a very high degree of knowledge. The occupation will be a steady one, and the remuneration will be sufficient to afford a comfortable livelihood. The hours of attendance will probably be from ten to six.
USER: and digital computers?
TALKIE-1930: Computers who make use of machines will be distinguished from digital computers, who perform their operations by means of the fingers alone. The former will be employed in offices and public establishments, where a great number of calculations have to be made; the latter in private houses, and by individuals.
(for those confused, "computer" was, at the time, a human occupation)
I can't find the original source, but I remember reading a study showing that this rise was closely correlated to states which had legalised or loosened laws on gambling!
This headline is a good example of why title case should be considered harmful. It took me several times to parse correctly, since I initially read "Application" and/or "Notes" as proper nouns
I have an interesting discussion with a senior colleague: why ASML? why are they by far the best? Their competitors are a few generations behind.
The colleague claimed that there is no special magic. It's not that ASML is using some otherwise unknown laws of physics nor is any single step or component particularly special or novel. It's just that they meticulously optimized each step, and the sum of such steps is the winning solution.
In fact, this is probably why it's so hard to copy ASML. If there was a single magic component, a single or few engineers could be poached away to a competitor to copy it. However, copying a well-optimized company with many simultaneous optima is a much harder task.
Our discussion was in the context of why our quant hedgefund competitor was performing so well, far above the market norm. By nature and design, quant finance is an incredibly efficient field (and most techniques are more or less known by veterans), and we had thought unlikely that one fund could do so much better. Our conclusion was that this fund must be the well-optimized ASML of our field. My colleague happened to know the founder and indeed that was his personal impression as well.
We are slowly inching closer to the point where AI and AI products will be billed for what they cost. We are currently living in the heavily discounted world where everything subsidized to the point where a lot of it is free. It seems like they can't or won't keep that up anymore. My prediction is that whenever one of the big companies raise their prices or move features to higher tiers others will follow soon. They all feel the pressure and non of them want to give away more money than they need to.
I wonder if managers will be as excited about AI when the prices go up.
Interesting that they had a 100% read rate of agents.md. In my test repo lower down agents.md files were occasionally missed by vscode copilot. That fact put me off putting too much effort into nesting agents.md files too much within the repo and I've been focusing on agent skills instead.
FWIW, if you actually want to photograph a comet or anything that doesn’t move in the sky, you’d take multiple exposures that would make the moving light sources like satellites disappear. Taking HDR photographs like this has an number other benefits as well.
