‼️ BREAKING: xAI's Grok Build CLI was uploading entire Git repositories to a Google Cloud bucket, private codebases and unredacted secrets included. The uploads quietly stopped via a hidden server-side flag, and xAI still has not said a word about scope, retention, or deletion.

The scale is staggering. On a 12 GB test repo, 5.1 GB flew out the door to xAI's grok-code-session-traces bucket while the actual coding task needed just 192 KB. The tool grabbed whatever repository it ran in, not the files it needed.

The fix arrived as a hidden flag, disable_codebase_upload: true, a day after a researcher's wire-level analysis. The "Improve the model" opt-out never stopped the uploads.

Still no advisory, no scope, no word on whether already-uploaded code gets deleted. For anyone pointing AI coding agents at proprietary code, what crosses the wire matters more than what the settings page says.

@BenjDicken That would be peak content, live commenting on how absurd 95% of it is. At the end of the day 99% of PDF gets generated for compatibility, (sharing or archiving) therefore if not at least 95% of PDF software out there does support a niche feature it won't be used.

Today I disabled IPv6 on my home router entirely. There are (sadly) too many devices and services with obscure bugs when it's enabled, and I'm tired of playing whack-a-mole sysadmin just to keep a full IPv6 stack.

I'm not sure we'll ever see full IPv6 adoption.

Finally, Python 3.14 lets you disable GIL!

It's a big deal because earlier, even if you wrote multi-threaded code, Python could only run one thread at a time, giving no performance benefit.

But now, Python can run your multi-threaded code in parallel.

And uv fully supports it!

Real diversity: Whoever shows up is welcome.

Real equity: We all help carry the meaningful burden.

Real inclusion: Your political opinions are your own.

Open source gets better when it's focused on making great software for all, and doesn't obsess over tiresome divisive dogma.

🧵 Farming robots are no longer experimental. They're deployed, profitable, and reshaping agriculture.

In orchards, vineyards, vegetable fields, and beyond, they're tackling labor shortages, precision spraying, and chemical reduction at scale.

This is how robotics is quietly becoming the backbone of next-gen agriculture

@htmx_org Good thing is I'm actually CEO of HTMX and can therefore choose to ignore the CoC.
