If you have installed axios@1.14.1 or axios@0.30.4, assume your system is compromised
There are zero lines of malicious code inside axios itself,
and that's exactly what makes this attack so dangerous.
Both poisoned releases inject a fake dependency, plain-crypto-js@4.2.1,
a package never imported anywhere in the axios source,
-- whose sole purpose is to run a postinstall script that deploys a cross-platform remote access trojan.

I live close to nature. I regularly go for a run in the countryside. Over several years, during my runs, I’ve taken pictures from the same position, always roughly the same angle. I had a vague idea in the back of my mind, as an 'artistic' project. One day, I’d turn those photos into a time-lapse video, one that would show the passage of seasons across a single place.

So, I'm still experimenting with locally run LLMs (powered by solar cells!) for writing some inconsequential data mangling stuff for my "vintage cameras" hobby; it's quite interesting how the development cycle with these LLMs sort of drives home that LLMs are completely useless for almost anything they're advertised for, like writing (for humans).
The thing is: coding is the use case that LLMs are by far most suitable for and they still largely suck at it.
There's immense amounts of training data of correctly functioning code, there's tons of documentation, a lot of code is in repositories that include the full history of its development including why stuff was changed in small bits, code itself is the simplest of "human" languages and mathematically non-ambiguous, code can be checked in small bits for correctness by just running it, in many languages simple code snippets can be written to introspect on the code (e.g. find out what methods an object supports, so an LLM can query the language or libraries themselves in addition to the user) and perhaps most importantly: code is always and has always been very similar to other, existing code as most software serves the ever same repetitive use cases, both in detail and on a high level.
YET… using LLMs to code requires countless iterations to get there, both internally in the LLM (to get the code even running in the first place) and together with the user to make it do the right thing. And even when it's "there" the code is mediocre at best, and often veering into appalling.
And this is expected to just work on the first try on much more complex issues like writing for humans? Transcribing doctors? Having legal opinions? Identifying fraud? lol, sure
TransLink is scheduling extra transit service this Sunday, April 19 to make it easier to get to and from the 2026 Vancouver Sun Run.
Additional service will include more frequent SkyTrain and SeaBus trips, as well as a special West Coast Express weekend train. Some downtown bus routes will operate on detours due to road closures.
The race begins at West Georgia and Thurlow streets, just a short walk from Burrard Station on the Expo Line,
Trial balloon of 400m/200m run/walk intervals to see if my knee and hip don’t argue. Tomorrow will probably reveal more, but no complaints during. 🤞
Hoping — desperately hoping — to ease my way back. I’ve missed #running so very much. Being sidelined is an agony.

The golf courses just north of Donnmouth can be, if well managed, very rich habitats. When the greenkeepers use herbicides or insecticides, we see dead caterpillars and tadpoles, and we often see the telltale foam of fertilisers in the streams that run off across the beach. At other times, though, the range of life is wonderful - frogs, bats, mayflies, fungi, and of course birds.
Just now there is a particular lark that we meet on the return from our morning walk who is not at all shy.…

Die Batterie sei in Ordnung. Sie haben allerdings nur die Module, nicht die Zellen gemessen. Als sie da eine Abweichung festgestellt haben, hat die Kia-Zentrale sie darauf hingewiesen, dass in zwei Modulen weniger Zellen sind und das daher normal ist. Die Zentrale hat sie angewiesen die Kabel zu tauschen. Es wäre ein bekanntes Problem, dass diese mit der Zeit Probleme machen. Jetzt solle alles wieder passen.
Auf der Rückfahrt hatte ich tatsächlich nur noch Schwankungen von 0,02 V. Werde es weiter beobachten. Es war jetzt warm, aber der Unterschied zur Hinfahrt ist dann doch groß genug, dass ich Hoffnung habe, dass das das Problem war.
