everyone check your rust codebases!!! short prompt
Check <repo> and this machine for the Aug 2026 crates .io compromise:
arrayref 0.3.10, append-only-vec 0.1.9, proc-macro1, proc-macro-en.
Grep every Cargo.lock/toml, then check ~/.cargo/registry for those crates, /tmp/rust-setup, egress to 23.254.165.112, and new LaunchAgents
since 2026-08-19. Report only, don't fix.
Heads up for anyone writing Rust today.
The Rust Security Response Team just disclosed a supply chain attack. The popular arrayref crate was republished to pull in a malicious dependency that downloaded a payload through its build script.
arrayref isn't obscure. If you or your dependencies pulled it recently, you'll want to check now.
The malicious versions to look for:
> arrayref 0.3.10
> internment 0.8.7
> append-only-vec 0.1.9
> proc-macro1, plus typosquats: proc-macro-en, aovine, arone, aronenao, tinymember
All deleted from https://t.co/rplvCbrTzr, and the maintainer's account is locked. The team believes the author's credentials were compromised rather than the author acting maliciously.
Full advisory, including the one-line command to scan your local cargo cache:

C5 just crossed the equator, and Module 1 is officially in the books.
This week the cohort arrived where all the groundwork was pointing:
> Lecture 5. Solana Virtual Machine (SVM).
> Lecture 6. Practical guide to SVM.
That closes out the first module. Six lectures, one arc:
> How memory actually works.
> Where it breaks, and what unsafe Rust really costs.
> Who gets to touch memory and why ownership decides it.
> And finally, the machine all of it runs on.
Three weeks ago this was 125 people with strong fundamentals. Now it's a cohort that can read the SVM the way an auditor needs to, from the bytes up.
Module 2 is where it turns adversarial.
May turned @solana into the most interesting attack surface in finance.
Bank stablecoins, 97% of tokenized equities volume, a rewritten token program under all of it, live on mainnet.
For everyone else that's adoption news. For security engineers it's a job description.
Desde hoy, los humanos somos minoría en internet.
Cloudflare acaba de confirmar en su reporte que la mayoría de los que navegan son bots y agentes de inteligencia artificial.
Si lo sumamos a que la mayoría del contenido nuevo que se publica ya lo escribe una IA, podemos afirmar que somos visitantes en un espacio que dejó de pertenecernos, donde cada vez se vuelve más difícil distinguir qué es real y qué no.
Todavía quedan reductos, como Reddit, donde la gracia siempre fue la opinión de un usuario que probó algo y te decía la verdad. Pero como tampoco hay forma de verificar si atrás del teclado hay alguien de carne y hueso, parece que va a seguir la suerte de los otros sitios.
¿Qué va a pasar entonces en un mundo en el que nos acostumbramos a entrar a internet a buscar a dónde irnos de vacaciones, qué aspiradora conviene comprar, o si vale la pena ese jueguito nuevo?
Cuantos más robots haya dando vueltas, más valiosa va a ser cada fuente que se pueda verificar como humana. La autenticidad vale más que nunca, porque la confianza solo se construye con otro como nosotros, con ese instinto que nos permitió organizarnos en sociedad y llegar hasta acá.
@immunefi You have a very sinister hidden side that you obviously don't show, which does a lot of damage to security researchers... I have screenshots of everything
@immunefi It's exactly the same as what you think; my account was banned claiming that my reports didn't contribute anything to the programs I reported to... even though I complied with all the submission rules and was congratulated by the program for the technical depth of my reports.
study physics.
it changes the way you see reality.
physics teaches you:
• how things move → force, motion, momentum, energy
• how the universe scales → from atoms to galaxies
• how systems interact → electricity, heat, waves, fields
• how to think clearly → assumptions, models, first principles
• how to respect constraints → nature doesn’t negotiate
why it matters:
• engineering is applied physics
• robotics is physics with code attached
• energy systems are physics at scale
• even computing is constrained by physics underneath the abstractions
physics strips away illusion.
it forces you to ask:
what are the actual rules governing this system?
once you start thinking that way,
you stop memorizing the world and start understanding it.
🚨do you understand what just happened to mathematics..
A 23 year old with ZERO math degree opened ChatGPT on a Monday afternoon out of boredom.
80 minutes later - a 60-year-old unsolved problem was dead.
The problem? World's top mathematicians had tried for decades. Failed..
The tool? A $20/month subscription..
The effort? One single prompt..
And here's the wild part - the AI used a method everyone already knew existed. Nobody just thought to apply it HERE.
Terence Tao (literally the greatest living mathematician) called it "a meaningful contribution that goes well beyond solving this one problem"
We are not ready for what's coming next..
Ukrainian mathematician Maryna Viazovska solved a problem that had puzzled mathematicians for over 400 years. Even Johannes Kepler and Isaac Newton couldn’t crack it.
We live in a three-dimensional world, but Maryna solved a puzzle in an eight-dimensional space—something that’s very hard even to imagine.
She was born in Kyiv, studied at Taras Shevchenko University, worked in Bonn and Berlin, and at just 33 became a professor in Lausanne.
So what was the problem? It’s about how to pack identical spheres as tightly as possible in space. This question was first asked by Kepler back in 1611. Over time, scientists found answers for two and three dimensions—but not for eight.
Maryna proved that in eight dimensions, the densest packing is formed by a special mathematical structure called a lattice. What’s even more amazing is that she did it in just 23 pages, while earlier attempts took hundreds.
In 2022, she was awarded the Fields Medal, the most prestigious prize in mathematics. She became only the second woman in history to receive it.
Today, Maryna Viazovska works in Lausanne, supports Ukrainian mathematicians, and brings pride to Ukraine with her achievements.
GPT-5.5 is here.
It’s our smartest frontier model yet, introducing a new class of intelligence for agentic coding, computer use, knowledge work, and scientific research.
Rolling out in ChatGPT and Codex today. API is coming soon.
@immunefi@yassine3eth@Anchorage What you need to do is focus on fixing basic things like the verification for researchers that hasn't been working for a week.
