I have a test case for libscopehal that has recently started failing in the GitHub CI environment with a SIGSEGV.
The same test, run on any of my machines, passes even when run under asan.
Anybody have ideas on how to debug? The limited visibility into the CI environment is annoying, I can't like ssh in and run gdb or something.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation has so far been unable to access data from a Washington Post reporter’s iPhone
because it was protected by Apple’s "Lockdown Mode"
when agents seized the device from the reporter’s home, the US government said in a court filing.
FBI agents were however able to access the reporter’s work laptop by telling her to place her index finger on the MacBook Pro’s fingerprint reader.
This occurred during the January 14 search at the…

FBI stymied by Apple's Lockdown Mode after seizing journalist's iPhone
Post reporter was compelled to unlock MacBook Pro with fingerprint, however.

A Shopware 6 plugin failed because it used a relative path to load a file from vendor/, which broke in a deployer setup where custom/plugins is shared across releases. Since plugins can live in different locations, such paths are unreliable. The fix is to use kernel.project_dir and build the vendor path dynamically via DI. Read the full blog post to learn how.

Shopware 6: Don’t make assumptions about paths and were your plugin lives
We have a template which generates documents for us. Unfortunately it broke with the following error: php.CRITICAL: Uncaught Error: Failed opening required ‚/var/www/customer-deploy/shared/cu…

The sour note: The article bends over backwards to absolve Claude — failing to recognize that one of the primary purposes of gen AI in large, dubious orgs is to obfuscate blame, to act as an accountability sink.
If there’s an LLM in the chain here, that’s •not• an afterthought. It’s central to the failure — even if the bad data didn’t originate with the LLM.

Imagine:
You are these parent of an adorable 4-year-old kid. They have made a toy airplane out of spare cardboard. Sadly, during play the wing has fallen off. You, a wise parent, produce a piece of duct tape and tape it back on. Your kid asks: "but what if the tape breaks, or the other wing falls off?" Dutifully, and with a completely serious manner, you duct tape the other wing, and then with a sharpie you write "Please DO NOT fall off!" on each wing. "There," you say, now the wings will not fall off. "
Your child happily returns to their play.
Imagine:
You are boarding a Boeing airplane for an intercontinental flight. Just the other day you were reading news about the emergency exit door falling off a Boeing airplane during flight. Thankfully nobody was injured in that incident, but a passenger could have been sucked out the gap and killed. As you walk down the aisle towards your seat at the back, you notice that around the emergency exit door of this plane, there are some scratch marks. It looks like it might not be 100% seated in place. You see several rolls worth of duct tape slapped onto the gaps between the door and the frame. In sharpie, someone has written "Please DO NOT fall off!" on the duct tape.
This is a post about #Agentic #AI.
To clarify: there are a host of reasons why using Claude Code is unethical in the first place, besides the fact that its a danger to its users. These make it unethical to use it even for a child's-toy-like application. But the source code we've just witnessed in the recent leak is *exactly* this level of "engineering." If you see an app that claims to be "programmed with AI" and it has any possibility of failing in a way that could harm you (for example, if it connects to the internet, meaning that poor programming could allow hackers to take over the device you run it on), my advice is: "Do not use it and warn your friends and family."
P.S. yes, this advice does apply to Microsoft Widows at this point, although that can be a tougher bullet to bite.

Had a fun time talking about my tiny CM system at @…. Lots of good questions and discussion.
It’s pretty well baked now, as ever more to do but keen to find more users for feedback and discussion.

Kids groups say they didn’t know OpenAI was behind their child safety coalition
‘A very grimy feeling’: OpenAI quietly helped build a “‘parents and kids”’ AI safety group. Some members quit when they found out.
