@phobeo Wait, how come a country doesn't have a budget? The government spends as much as it wants and then it tells how much it has spent the previous year? 😮

@twokul It's the first world cup where the thing I want most is for Argentina to lose. Such despicable behavior and abusing the system ("I'm going to commit an atrocious foul in the first ten minutes, because no ref would send off someone in a semi-final in the very first minutes").

[EmberFest @EmberFest]

⚠️ AI agent skills are becoming a new attack surface and most teams aren’t prepared.

In OpenClaw, “skills” are treated as documentation, but in reality, they can act as installers. And attackers are already exploiting that.

@jmeller, VP & Security Strategist @1Password, found that a top-downloaded skill in a popular registry was being used to deliver macOS infostealing malware.

This is why the future of agentic AI needs identity and access controls that are time-bound, revocable, and attributable.

I must have spent days of my life typing `document.querySelector(All)` in browser consoles only to realize I can simply type `$(selector)` and `$$(selector)`

Part 2 of the Teamtailor Embroider series goes through all the things we did to make static invocation possible in our large Ember app.

I hope you enjoy reading it and that you might learn something you can apply.

We just published the first blog post in a series on how we switched to Embroider at Teamtailor, and the huge dividends it paid: https://t.co/6NVXbR0Sqg

Such a great article on LessWrong (and one of the few ones I mostly understand 😅) about why ChatGPT is a sycophant.
