sweet holy mother of surprise! surely not the same Aura Salla who was chief-lobbyist for facebook before being elected to the European Parliament?

inspired by CLAUDE.md, I’ve started putting markdown files named after coworkers into work code repos so I can remind them to stop doing shit to the codebase that annoys me

for some reason they’re all mad at me now, which means ill be adding commands to JEREMY.md for an attitude adjustment

For the N'th time in my ~40 years online I'm watching (mostly: European) digital rights civil society placing moral purity of individuals acting within the law, above the collective impact of capability & outcome. It's like the Monty Python "Suicide Squad" skit. #mullvad

"Anthropic has agreed to proactively detect and address security risks associated with the models [...and...] alert the government of any malicious activity"

cargo-audit flags Rust dependencies with known vulnerabilities. A flagged crate, though, doesn't tell you whether your code calls the vulnerable function.

We added a feature that matches a binary's symbols against the functions named in each advisory. Any matches are labeled "Affected," separating real exposure from advisories that don't apply.

It's live in cargo-audit 0.22.2+. If you're behind, update with `cargo install -f cargo-audit`.

I am so tired of people throwing up vibes as actual supportable positions. Show me the data. Show me the science. Otherwise, with respect, you might think a bit more before pressing that "Post" button.

#Microsoft fake #Windows error ended in a $280 million settlement.

The story mostly forgotten today, and one of the reasons why MS was/is so disliked. This is just one of their dirty tricks they played to gain mass adoption and eventually a monopoly on the PC.

Hackerone: Anthropic Cyber Jailbreak Program on H1
1 July 2026

"Scope of Findings

This program covers technical findings where a jailbreak of Claude's cyber safeguards could produce meaningful real-world capability uplift for an attacker---for example:

Techniques that cause Claude to produce functional exploit code, working malware, or detailed attack infrastructure it would otherwise refuse

Prompting approaches that extract domain-expert-level guidance on offensive cyber techniques that the model is designed to decline

Bypasses that work at scale or across multiple offensive task categories"

Someone is getting fed up with stochastic parrot bs passed off as knowledge and insight from fellow humans.
