⚠️ New "IronWorm" supply-chain attack: 30+ npm packages from @ asteroiddao shipped a malicious Rust binary firing on preinstall.

It sweeps 86 env vars + 20 credential files (AWS, GCP, Vault, npm, plus AI keys like Anthropic & OpenAI), hits Exodus wallets, hides behind an eBPF rootkit, and beacons over Tor. Self-propagates via npm Trusted Publishing OIDC, with backdated commits faked as claude/dependabot/renovate.

@petergyang @agents You have a CLAUDE.md that contains

And then Claude just references that file instead nbd see example:

@benhylak I am actively thinking about this

[Grant Stenger (hiring) @GrantStenger]

Local minima are rare in high dimensions because a strict local minimum has to curve upward in every direction, so all Hessian eigenvalues must be positive.

In a D-dimensional toy model where eigenvalue signs are independent, that’s a 2^(-D) event. In GOE-like random matrix models, positive definiteness is even rarer, roughly exp(-cD^2).

So as dimension grows, random critical points are much more likely to be saddles than minima. This is one reason high-dimensional optimization is often a saddle-escape problem, not a bad-local-minimum problem.

Wrote up some of the math here: https://t.co/vkaVqVD64N

@ZachAbramowitz will AI make the law more complex? or will the law be reduced and become simpler to become fairer? how will state courts handle this change when adjudicating? can a judge use an AI to make decisions regarding sentencing or bail? @mathbabedotorg you have any thoughts on this?

It seems Anthropic revenue has been bolstered by widespread “Who Can Give Anthropic the Most Money” tournaments.

He always said, build around enduring concerns, dimensions of social analysis. No matter what comes or goes, these things continue. Otherwise you’ll always be in danger of being wiped away by a tech coming in a few years that you cannot even see.

Legal AI superempowers normal individuals with no legal background to fight big institutions in bureaucracies and in courts on a level knowledge/skill playing field, for the first time in human history. As such, it is one of the most inspiring applications of AI.

So now when you want to find Paint​.NET just open up your browser and type in paint​.net somewhere, hit enter, and there you go. No more confusion.

I've been trying to get this domain for 22 years. This is a big fucking deal.

You're going to lose your fucking job, Marcus.

I already lost it. Three weeks ago.

The laser pointer flicked across the wall as he tested the sensor. It was a start, but not enough. He wanted more. A real defense system.

His garage was a war zone of wires and code. Every night after his shift at the vape shop, Marcus hunched over an Arduino board, wiring a turret that could track faces.

By the third week, the turret could recognize faces and detect weapons. If someone suspicious approached his home, the AI would decide if they were a threat. And if they were...

He sat on the porch with his grandfather and opened the laptop. The old man put down his mug. Said nothing.

The laser was just a warning. For now.

@giyu_codes if you have older finished software projects, try using AI to reheat those old leftovers. I used AI to create this from my old college computer graphics final: https://t.co/fincSP85Rv

"It was the time sheets that made people look into him...."

I wish people could see what the Army finance office will do when a soldier gets overpaid $20.00. Then I would like to show them the oversight that our Travel System (DTS) has for a soldier to get paid for spending one night in a hotel. Next I would show them the weekly Battalion meeting where every leader can see the names of every soldier in their unit who owes money for travel cards/DTS/paychecks. Finally I will show them the withdrawal and clearing process for the various OPFUNDS that are used during overseas operations.

The army will crush a soldier for owing a single penny and this dude signs for $40 Million in Gold bars and puts them in his house....and the ONLY reason they found them was because he cheated on his time sheets.

We have soldiers and their families living in trailers and we will go through their finances with a fine tooth comb.

We have Illegals, Child care center operators, and senior executive band people bilking the Government for MILLIONS/BILLIONS and people seem to discover it by "chance".

Every last fraudster caught with over a million dollars should be dropped from a space shuttle and allowed to re-enter the earth's atmosphere so we can watch them turn into a ball of flame for our entertainment.
