with the constant flow of vulnerabilities from all around, it seems the security community lost interest in reading or engaging on interesting bugs.
the bar is so high now that what would’ve been considered interesting research in 2023-2025 is probably something no one cares about today.
self studying, reading hard papers, going through unfamiliar equations/concepts, are all skills. they’re absolutely trainable. and just like other skills, they’ll go away if you don’t use them
not getting frustrated when you dont grasp something for the Nth time is a superpower
This might be the best video of @lauriewired i've ever watched. RE is so cooooooolllll
I wonder if there's an equivalent of IOCCC for other languages

Releasing leaklens, https://t.co/60v4hV1718 a secret scanner which combines katana from project discovery, titus from praetorian-inc team and js-leaks for automated secret scan on websites.
Join Anthropic and help Claude learn real-world knowledge work! You'll own the strategy for domains (e.g., finance, healthcare, legal): source high-value tasks, design RL env / reward signal, and evaluate the capability improvement.
Look for Staff+ research engineers who love applied research AND getting hands-dirty with datasets. RL / reward design experience required.
Our team also closely partners with product to ship Claude in Office, Cowork, and Claude Design

“Peter Thiel says that to be an entrepreneur you have to be contrarian—and right.”
“You have to be comfortable looking stupid for like a long time.”
“When I was calling those banks and saying: Hey we're a crypto company want to do this? They would hang up on me.”
“I'd go pitch the 30th venture investor and get a no.”
“We're willing to be misunderstood for a long time.”
“Entrenched interests will fight you.”
“Everything that's truly innovative and
breakthrough is going to upset an entrenched incumbent, eventually intersect with the government, and just
piss off some segment of the population who are like “How dare you question the status quo?”

Robotics beginners unite! 😎
Here's a free course on the basics of robotics, including sensors and autonomous mobile bots.
Everyone who studied robotics or EE knows @MATLAB very well. I've been using it for designing motors and robots back in the day.
@MathWorks created a 17-video playlist teaching robotics using real robotic platforms, and other educational kits. Learn how to design, simulate, and control robots.
They cover robot navigation with encoders, obstacle detection with IR sensors, vision-based autonomy, smart motor fine-tuning, virtual world simulation, and even modeling wheel-legged robots.
Very good for someone just getting started and looking for a low entry-point course totally for free.
Simulink modeling for control, Stateflow for state machines, hardware support packages, external mode debugging, virtual simulation before physical deployment.
You can actually work on real robotics platforms!
This is how you start in robotics!

Barbara Liskov is one of the giants of computer science and a personal hero of mine 😍
Her episode on First Principles, hosted by @Tim_Roughgarden, is a must watch 🔥🔥🔥

What we call talent is often just the combination of:
A deep need to win and high agency
The ability to learn fast from mistakes
A beginner’s mind that never disappears
The common thread: an unusually high rate of learning.
I’m hiring experienced ML engineers for my team to work on pre-training data and mid-training. We have ambitious plans, and you’ll play a key role in shaping the data mixture for large-scale pre-training runs. Please consider applying if you care deeply about data and its impact on model performance. Links are in thread!
The most intellectually gifted person in my applied math masters program ended up working for the university doing research for pennies. The stupidest, vilest, ass kisser ended up in a large investment bank. This is a very common trajectory.
