The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees.

The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance.

Access to all other Claude models is not affected.

We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible.

🚨 CRITICAL: Active supply chain attack on axios -- one of npm's most depended-on packages.

The latest [email protected] now pulls in [email protected], a package that did not exist before today. This is a live compromise.

This is textbook supply chain installer malware. axios has 100M+ weekly downloads. Every npm install pulling the latest version is potentially compromised right now.

Socket AI analysis confirms this is malware. plain-crypto-js is an obfuscated dropper/loader that:

• Deobfuscates embedded payloads and operational strings at runtime
• Dynamically loads fs, os, and execSync to evade static analysis
• Executes decoded shell commands
• Stages and copies payload files into OS temp and Windows ProgramData directories
• Deletes and renames artifacts post-execution to destroy forensic evidence

If you use axios, pin your version immediately and audit your lockfiles. Do not upgrade.

With the Iran war doubling oil prices, experts say the airline industry’s belt-tightening is an economic canary in the coal mine for the rest of the world. https://t.co/YZEcleAWn6

@FlintCasey When the framing is "We draw the line at mass surveillance and fully autonomous weapons" and that's somehow an issue, it's a bit hard to side against them.

@JNavok @chhopsky @ballmatthew @Chris_Dring Given how saturated the live service market is you kind of need to pick gaps/trends and appropriate price points. Helldivers 2 hit the coop battle, arc raiders hit extraction shooter but not tarkov, peak is riding the cheap "fun with friends" wave.

@troyhunt I mean the general way I've seen to handle this is: Introduce an enterprise tier that cost 10+x that supports quotes/pro forma invoices and handle it manually.
At least then you're getting paid to deal with Neville.

@bajo It should be flat, afaik if it isn't it's not at the right height and will eventually cause some sort of repetitive injury.

Recently a book was released about Nokia's N-Gage handheld game console. Back then Nokia was one of the most valuable companies in EU. They spent lots of money to conquer the gaming market.

I was the lead programmer in their flagship game.

@bigyahu I mean, it's solved, it's just not cheap.

@jdub I think the mod servers go down at ~8pm AEST.

@QuinnyPig I was flawed when they got rid of the status levels, it was one of the reasons I didn't bother using the other apps.

@tom_forsyth I'd say it was a miscalculated show of force, Iran thought they could shock Israel into compliance and end it there. Israel's air defence systems are world leading, almost any other country would have been overwhelmed. What happens next is anyone's guess.

@typesfast Your space calculation systems at @flexport no doubt use metric as the base unit.

[Tim McIntyre @SiODsays]

@typesfast Most tech performance metrics use milliseconds, where precision matters SI units dominate.
Hours/minutes/days/years are messy, bc they're driven by the rotation of the planet. There is no inherent advantage to moving to a round number and therefore the cost is unjustifiable.
