OpenAI releases an "early" version of the open-source Codex Security CLI for scanning repositories, verifying fixes, adding CI/CD security checks, and more (@openai)

«Sicherheitslücken in CI/CD-Workflows — Ein Gratis-Account reicht: „Cordyceps“ gefährdet über 300 GitHub-Repositories:
Die neu entdeckte Sicherheitslücke Cordyceps ermöglicht unauthentifizierten Angreifern die Übernahme von über 300 GitHub-Repositories großer Konzerne.»
Jetzt sagen sicherlich einige "nur 300", doch die Frage ist welche und wie abhängig sind andere Projekte von denen?

Two kinds of robustness are not the same: disentangling fault tolerance and low-SNR robustness in multi-domain event detection on real data

Abstract: Reliable event detection underpins induced-seismicity monitoring for Carbon dioxide Capture and Storage (CCS) and geothermal operations, distributed acoustic sensing (DAS), and industrial condition monitoring. In each setting a detector must stay reliable both when sensors fail and when the signal is buried in noise. These two failure modes are routinely conflated, and architectural complexity is often credited with robustness it may not deserve. We assemble a unified binary event-detection benchmark from three physically distinct real sources -- Hi-net seismic waveforms, Utah FORGE 2024 borehole DAS, and MAFAULDA industrial vibration -- each mapped to a common 8-channel, 256-sample representation, and evaluate a fault-tolerant detector (CEPHALON) trained with per-sample sensor-dropout against standard detectors (a 1D convolutional network, a temporal convolutional network, and a compact Transformer) trained with an identical recipe. On clean data every model is near-perfect (AUC ~ 0.99). Under progressive sensor loss, simple models with sensor-dropout are already robust and CEPHALON holds no advantage. Under additive noise, however, CEPHALON degrades far more gracefully: at -2.5 dB its overall AUC is 0.939 versus 0.532-0.572 for the convolutional baselines. Same-architecture ablations isolate the cause: disabling internal redundancy at inference reduces the low-SNR advantage only modestly, whereas removing sensor-dropout training collapses it (0.899 to 0.603 at -5 dB). The training recipe is therefore the dominant cause and parallel redundancy only secondary. We release a complete, numbered, reproducible pipeline so that every figure can be regenerated.

As Washington and Tehran trade messages in search of yet another cease-fire,
the Trump administration must revisit the faulty assumptions that got it stuck in a costly war in the first place.
The administration has repeatedly fallen prey to the sunk cost fallacy.
In the face of this strategic failure, Donald Trump has mostly acted as if the problem were one of scale or duration.
In reality, U.S. negotiating leverage has diminished as the war has progressed

On this day, 29 June 1892,
workers at the Carnegie steel plant in Homestead Pennsylvania were locked out
after workers refused to accept new production demands.
Andrew Carnegie was determined to break the Amalgamated Association of Iron Steel Workers,
in which skilled workers at the plant were organised.
His plant manager, Henry Clay Frick, locked out the union workers,
then sacked them on 2 July.
The non-union, so-called "unskilled" wor…

Five months after the United States and Israel started a historically unpopular war against Iran that was going to supposedly last weeks,
the fighting has refused to resolve in victory, defeat or peace.
Iran’s Supreme Leader had been killed in the opening strikes,
ceasefires broke down,
and the strait of Hormuz has been closed and re-opened.
For voters interviewed across the country, while the damage may be distant, the residual effects have shown up
at t…

It’s been at least 75 days since Senator Mitch McConnell has been seen in public.
Yet on Thursday
—despite McConnell supposedly being weeks into an intensive rehabilitation routine
—his team blatantly refused to provide a progress report.
The last time his office shared details regarding the 84-year-old’s health status was three weeks ago on August 6,
when a press release purportedly penned by McConnell himself explained that he had been discharged from a rehabil…
