[RSS] Out of Shift: How a Shared State Bug in V8's AsmJS Parser Broke the Ubercage

I read a story about how Hungary's first semiconductor plant burned down, and how lucky the city population was as the dangerous chemicals (SiH2Cl2 was mentioned) were blown by the wind toward uninhibited areas.

Completely unrelated to recent events I wonder if such chemicals are still in use in similar plants?

It's not a bug, it's a feature flag

About to put together a version of this for the 70s.

This incredible illustration accompanied an article in The Columbus Ledge on November 19th, 1978 which discussed whether colleges and universities were helping to create computer criminals by giving students access to computers. Bit of a bizarre moral panic.

At REcon this year, I noticed that quite a few talks and workshops had signs of AI-generated content. It was especially concerning that some of the workshops with signs of AI-generated content did not seem to have been fully tested or rehearsed by the instructors, especially around the specific portions of the material that were AI-generated.

To be clear, I am not talking about fully hallucinated content - these were still instructors with a track record and with qualifications to deliver the content. And with workshops at conferences, you always get a mixed bag and sometimes unprepared instructors. But it felt to me like some experienced, qualified, and skilled instructors were much looser than they would normally would have been, trusted the AI more than they should have, and thereby caused the quality of the material to slip.

I killed time on my flight by playing "Hold 'Em Poker ©2008 Global Eagle" on the in-flight entertainment system. They start you with ¤5,000 in chips.

Eventually I figured out that I could set the tournament mode to increase the blinds (eventually adding antes) every 60 seconds, and then just raise aggressively and steal the pot ~90% of hands without having to show my hole cards.

Oddly, the AI players are much more prone to bluffing at lower stakes, so this game actually gets easier as it progresses.

I had about ¤15M when the system shut down.

Uploaded the slides of my talk "Ticket Please" in EuskalHack (it was a 101) https://github.com/X-C3LL/congresos-slides/blob/master/Ticket%20Please-EuskalHack2026.pdf

Yesterday was the 38th anniversary of the AS/400, the ancestor of the modern IBM Power servers and IBM i operating system.

Happy Father’s Day to the dads and father figures who taught us to look closer before giving up.

To save the tiny screws. To check the cable first. To believe a broken thing is usually just a problem waiting to be understood.

Thanks for the patience, the hand-me-down tools, and the quiet confidence that comes from figuring things out together.

The System/38 fully powered up yesterday. Without fanfare, without smoke, without sparks. This is huge.

Doesn’t boot, but doesn’t do so for reasons that are known and understood and repairable. More after the next work day!

Bobby Prince has died.

He was the musical face of the DOS era, with iconic compositions for games such as the Commander Keen series, the Doom series, and Duke Nukem 3D. While he hadn't been very active in the past 25 years, many people remember his music, and some levels of Doom I and II still instantly evoke the distinctive AdLib sound of his tunes. A great loss!
