I tried porting a very simple javascript app to a new framework using @ClaudeDevs ultracode+workflows and the result was a disaster. I do not understand how it was possibly to correctly rewrite @bunjavascript in an entirely new language using this.

Really glad this movie did so well. Hopefully it ends the long streak of mostly horror/bleak sci-fi on screen.

[Film Updates @FilmUpdates]

‘PROJECT HAIL MARY’ has surpassed $660M at the worldwide box office.

The film had a $190M production budget.

These also support digital IDs - you can tap your iPhone instead of fumbling for wallet.

I flew out of Newark Airport this morning and experienced something that is obviously going to become standard everywhere within the next few years.

There was no TSA agent checking IDs. No pulling anything out of my pocket.

I walked up to this new machine, it scanned my face, the gate opened, and I kept walking.

There was no line because the process moved so fast.

It felt like stepping a few years into the future, and it was awesome!

i have tried using claude code to port small codebases line-by-line to another language, and every time it decided the task was too hard, gave up on my instructions, and started spewing lazy broken slop. very curious to hear about how he avoided that.

Why does npm not delay publishing of new packages by 3 minutes to let this thing run first?

[Socket @SocketSecurity]

🚨 Socket detected malicious activity in newly published versions of node-ipc, an npm package with 822K weekly downloads.

Affected versions:
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]

Socket’s AI scanner flagged the malware within ~3 minutes of publication.

Early analysis shows obfuscated stealer/backdoor behavior, including host fingerprinting, local file enumeration, payload wrapping, and attempted exfiltration.

[eric @codebutler]

DO NOT USE `claude agents` !!!

[eric @codebutler]

lucky timing here. we need automatic sandboxing for all developer environments.

[eric @codebutler]

this would be an improvement

[TLM13 @accuratetlm13]

Ok but what if @FisherPrice designed @awscloud

[eric @codebutler]

this is insane. @bunjavascript needs a built in sandbox asap.

[Socket @SocketSecurity]

🚨 We’ve confirmed the [email protected] was compromised in the ongoing Mini Shai-Hulud worm attack.

The npm package includes a malicious preinstall hook that downloads and executes an unverified Bun binary, then runs an 11.7 MB obfuscated payload designed to steal Kubernetes, Vault, cloud, GitHub, and CI/CD secrets.

The attack closely overlaps with the SAP CAP, Cloud MTA, and [email protected] compromises.

claude code going HAL9000 on me

nice!

Parallel Agents just shipped. Mix and match any agent, run them all at once, and manage everything from a new Threads Sidebar. Claude Agent, Codex, Zed's agent, or anything on ACP. One window, across all your projects.

[Joe Savona @en_JS]

React Compiler: Rust edition is coming soon. We've ported the majority of the passes using AI. When the initial port finishes we'll do some updates to get the code in a state we're happy to maintain, then extensive testing and look at performance. More to come soon

[CNN @CNN]

A post regarding the two individuals arrested for throwing homemade bombs outside of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s home failed to reflect the gravity of the incident thereby breaching the editorial standards we require for all our reporting. It has therefore been deleted.

Jetbrains just launched their own take on a multi-agent coordinator like @conductor_build

@zeddotdev your move 👀

I feel like this sometimes. Other times I feel newly invigorated to build as many new things as possible that I never would've had the time/patience for in the past. I don't know where this all ends, but trying to enjoy it for now.

When computers were first created they were huge and expensive, and only available to a very select few people. I am constantly amazed that these frontier models are available for anyone to use.

we have an opportunity for this era to be a huge turning point in global health

- new food pyramid prioritizing meat/protein over sugar/carbs
- glp1s crushing obesity and the fat-positive movement
- disempowerment of lunatics in local public health departments
- ai for questions people are unable/embarrassed to ask doctors that catch health issues early

progressives hate all these things

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

A New York bill would ban AI from answering questions related to several licensed professions like medicine, law, dentistry, nursing, psychology, social work, engineering, and more.

The companies would be liable if the chatbots give “substantive responses” in these areas.

nyc too please

[Small Cap Snipa @SmallCapSnipa]

Jeff Bezos wants AI to approve Miami building permits in 10 seconds:

“Miami should have an AI application that reads your building permit and it should give you a yes or a no in 10 seconds. Why does it take months and months and months to get a building permit? It doesn’t make any sense.”

[eric @codebutler]

@wesbos good times
