Please note that this delightful bit of schadenfreude is couched in an article that’s actually AI advertising in disguise:
“This happened because Claude is so good at ‘reasoning across large codebases!’ It’s a sign of a coming boom! It’s not because employees are being pressured to maximize token use or because ‘agents’ go completely off the rails, oh no, couldn’t be •that•!”

For nearly a decade, the Pentagon was warned
—by its own contractors, analysts, and intelligence agencies
—that anyone with a credit card could buy a map of where American troops sleep, work, and store nuclear weapons.
Now the bill has come due in a war zone.
A newly disclosed letter shows the warnings went unheeded:
US Central Command now confirms it has received “multiple threat reports concerning adversary exploitation of commercial location data to target or su…

The Pentagon Knew Enemies Could Track Troops’ Phones for Years. Now They Are
The US military has long known that cheap fixes could stop location data from exposing its troops. It adopted almost none—and now says adversaries are using the data to target soldiers during a war.

Next edition of our quarterly free village magazine is up on the blocks. Editorial meeting tonight and then I get started populating the layout. Paid adverts already placed–they pay for the printing–the rest is all volunteer work including delivery to 4k homes.
Have been building this with #affinity since 2023 (Quark before that). Good to give back to the community.

The Senate confirms Army Lt. Gen. Joshua Rudd to lead the NSA and US Cyber Command, filling a vacancy created when Gen. Timothy Haugh was fired in April 2025 (Martin Matishak/The Record)

Rudd confirmed to head NSA, Cyber Command after near year-long vacancy
Rudd, who was confirmed 71-29 to serve as the “dual-hat” leader of the organizations, takes the reins as the U.S. faces mounting aggression in cyberspace from foreign adversaries at the same time the Trump administration has sought to shrink the size of the federal government.

Because I am on Eurosky's PDS, I was able to log in via blacksky.community and was able to post. No profile/header banner imagesthough.
Despite this, #ATProto really falls apart even if the main #BlueSky stuff goes down.

The opening salvo of a war is not "a fast-moving situation." It is the deployment of a pre-assembled target list under zero pressure to outpace an adversary. #minabstrike

Trump’s constant
self-aggrandisement,
his grudges against political adversaries,
the fury at being challenged by the press,
the revenge he promises to wreak on the Iranian regime.
All are ways to erase and avoid what is a permanent terror of humiliation and obsolescence.
“Think of Benito Mussolini,”
wrote the journalist Barbara Grizzuti Harrison in the LA Times,
“jackbooted,
lantern-jawed,
squeakily bombastic,

It's been a grind, but I'm finally making progress on the SaaS frontend to this whole project. My idea is it can be a portal where game communities can publish their community to advertise for new members. This will tie into the existing self-hosted Warlock framework for Linux servers and will serve as a complementary service for those groups who want to advertise, (completely optional; the self-hosted project isn't changing).
Currently the idea will be to enable this service to user…

Two excellent presentations by students in our Environmental and Conservation Sciences graduate program; Minnesota River water quality, and eDNA of pollinators!

"The part that shocked us: The fix already exists in Anthropic’s own codebase. Their newer tree-sitter parser checks deny rules correctly regardless of command length. It’s written. It’s tested. It sits in the same repository. It was never applied to the code path that ships to customers. The secure version was built — it just wasn’t deployed." 🤪
