Humble request for vibe-coders: report your runtime errors!

LLM tends to insert Pokémon exception handlers everywhere, making problems (of which vide-code has a *lot*) hard to even notice.

Slightly related illustration:

Really, no one?

Dropping a Xmas-sploit for CVE-2025-14847

The state of advanced research:

IBM's X-Force blog has a chatbot, but can't correctly render static images:

(could you kick some butt @chompie1337 ? )

This is beautiful. I've been looking at this for 5 hours now.

Weird #DIY question:

I'd like to have easy to switch paper disks on an axis. An "obvious" solution would be to cut pices of a spiral where the beginning and the end just overlap, so they only get off when turned to the direction of the axis.

But how do I cut/produce such pieces so that they remain flat when on the axis?!

I published an #IDA importer for the REShare #ReverseEngineering exchange format:

I also wrote up my development experiences, incl. tips for IDA's type info API:

I'm still looking for contributors, esp. on the #radare2 and #BinaryNinja side!

@mttaggart No worries, SpaceX can put your telescopes to space cheaply so you can avoid Starlink satellites!

"You should be able to talk to your PC"[1]

^ This is a fundamental misunderstanding that reminds me (again) of one of my favorite failed experiments of '90s internet: the online 3D shopping center.[2]

C-levels of the time spared no expense to build a complete VRML model of a shoping center in the browser, where you could walk around, take the escalator for a better view on the virtual fountain or even rent a virtual space for your goods.

What the inventors didn't understand is that of course people don't go to the mall to use the escalator, but to buy stuff.

Online banking, shopping, etc. became popular even over phone-based services because people realized that clicking on stuff is more effective than talking (and walking).

Chatbots are the 3D escalators of todays technology.
