@Spartakussug @Jude_Mugabi Hard one, but I have seen an Indian cement factory use the angle of a plane failing to crash into the twin towers because of the cement.

The ad is hilarious in that the place makes a U-turn…..

@ssmusoke @Google @YouTube Be default, I have 1.1.1.1 vpn by cloudflare always on. I have had issues previously where the Google Authenticator was not working because of some network blocks.

🚨 Andrej Karpathy just explained the scariest thing happening in software right now..

someone poisoned a Python package that gets 97 million downloads a month.. and a simple pip install was enough to steal everything on your machine..

SSH keys.. AWS credentials.. crypto wallets.. database passwords.. git credentials.. shell history.. SSL private keys.. everything..

and here's the part that should terrify every developer alive..

the attack was only discovered because the attacker wrote sloppy code.. the malware used so much RAM that it crashed someone's computer.. if the attacker had been better at coding.. nobody would have noticed for weeks..

one developer.. using Cursor with an MCP plugin.. had litellm pulled in as a dependency they didn't even know about.. their machine crashed.. and that crash saved thousands of companies from getting their entire infrastructure stolen..

Karpathy's take is the real wake up call.. every time you install any package you're trusting every single dependency in its tree.. and any one of them could be poisoned..

vibe coding saved us this time.. the attacker vibe coded the attack and it was too sloppy to work quietly.. next time they won't make that mistake.

@MucunguziJackso @CultonScovia Correction; “God helps those who help themselves", is often mistakenly believed to be in the Bible but it actually originated from ancient Greek fables. It’s not in the Bible.

@TheMutaD I know someone who imported his car through Burundi saying the taxes are so fair. Drives around with Burundi plates and pays the fees charged every 3 months. Don’t know if it’s sustainable in the long run.

@Spartakussug Add UPDF and CIM....

@Spartakussug I tried something with one of the AI tools and have it access to my email asking it to analyze and tell prioritize emails in order of urgency, the output was awesome and scary at the same time. I imagine what uploading an entire multi-year company strategy/history will reveal.

@Spartakussug I see a new job description, data inspection officer or something of that sort. Someone whose responsibility is to ensure there are no such information leaks or reveals. The risks are so mighty.

@EveZalwango Wait when you are on MTN, you will feel like you are running out of oxygen. Airtel at the moment has the most favorable roaming offers especially around East Africa. Off course it’s still high considering they once advertised as “One Network,” across Africa

@rwenzori_ @KCCAUG @MoWT_Uganda @GovUganda There are sections in Kigali where the roads are similar to this. Not a good experience when you are riding a bike.

@moses_nasa @benmwine Am very intentional about this. It should take me at most 25 minutes to get the children to school. On average, it's 15 minutes.

@Barbrabrendah1 There are more humps on the Kulambiro ring road than on the highway from Kampala to Jinja.

[Ephraim Batambuze @batambuze]

Is there a credible source of genuine traffic data in Uganda? How many cars or individuals use a specific route every day? busiest road/junctions etc?

The Works and Transport Statistical System (https://t.co/mXfEgQDrDs) was last updated in 2023 & all their dashboards are empty.

[Ephraim Batambuze @batambuze]

@Spartakussug 😂😂 The day you are listed, should we be worried?
