IMHO it's a good general rule that if a club includes Jared Kushner, Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, and Leonard Leo, you should not join it. You do not want to be associated with those people in any way. And for those who did join, they'd better answer for that choice now. 7/
llama.cpp: runs on your laptop, no GPU required. GGUF files swap in seconds.
vLLM: built for concurrent users, GPU clusters, and production SLAs.

JD Vance promoting his book about finding his way back to faith while helping manage Situation Room meetings on how to cover up for pedophiles is about as Republican as it gets.
I can no longer send security disclosures to a significant portion of the companies that are on my to-do list. Why?
Because they all use @Hacker0x01. My submissions so far get closed as informative, even though most fix the issue I report quite quickly. This makes my signal so low that I can no longer submit disclosures.
These companies have no other way to contact their security team. I'm now stuck with no way to responsibly disclose my findings to many companies. This is pretty messed up.
Not sure what to do from here. This sucks.
Typical coding day with Claude (Opus 4.8)
- explain to Claude the task (5 minutes)
- Claude implements task (10 minutes)
me: "Why is this necessary?"
Claude: "You're right to push back! I over-engineered this!"
- Repeat x87 times (13 hours)
“Michelle Obama is a man” shouted on the White House lawn in a ring sponsored by Bud Light only available on Larry Ellison’s Paramount Plus. What a way to celebrate America 250 and the twilight of liberal democracy.
As the Canadian official in charge of the bio labs file in 2007-8, I call BS. All of our activities, coordinated with the US, were above-board, and designed to PREVENT bioweapons proliferation, eg by replicating secure facilities like 🇨🇦 own Winnipeg lab in the post-Soviet space.
Fable just downgraded to Opus because I am calculating a Groebner base on one round of the block cipher PRESENT.
This is absolutely ridiculous. I can essentially not use Fable to review my 2008 MSc thesis without triggering "cyber safeguards".
A friend of mine had the down...
NIST has a useful paper on AI guardrails
The takeaway is that static guardrails are the wrong security model for open-ended LLM systems.
A finite set of rules cannot cover every adaptive prompt. You can harden the system, make bypasses harder, monitor for abuse and reduce the blast radius. But you should not patch an LLM once, add a few refusal rules and call it done.
LLM security needs to look more like vuln research and detection engineering:
continuous testing, continuous updates and an assumption that bypasses will eventually be found

Interesting history from Jane Kamensky in @TheFP.
Apparently Jefferson didn't think America should celebrate presidential birthdays.
"Vesting a national identity in individuals was what monarchies did, with profiles on coins and royal occasions organizing the state calendar."
