@WeiseFranklin Honestamente? Preferia um gráfico de barra, ou qualquer variação discreta. O erro começa na linha contínua.

@Mr_Ora_ @BryanBG5 @theramblingfool Tbf, people do gamble their lives everyday (ie: firefighters) for people who gambled theirs first, for much less (ie: keeping building maintenance).
Yes, there is an expectation of competence and survival, but it still is a gamble and many times leads to the death of the rescuer.

@mvinnysl @AnthropicAI Nice to know!!

I beg everyone in crypto to read this in full.

I expected this to be another case of social engineering, likely some recruiter/job offer shit.

I was very wrong.

And the depth of the operation and personas makes me think they already have multiple other teams on lock.

Um hacker simplesmente hackeou o @cline e instalou o OpenClaw em 4.000 computadores com prompt injection 🫠

Olha que loucura:

- O time do Cline criou um workflow de triagem de issues automatizado no GitHub, usando o próprio Claude pra ler e categorizar os tickets
- O hacker abriu uma issue com um prompt injection no título — o Claude leu, achou que era uma instrução legítima, e executou
- Com isso, ele encheu o cache do GitHub com lixo até forçar a deleção dos caches legítimos de build, substituiu por caches envenenados, e roubou os tokens de publicação do npm
- Com os tokens em mãos, ele publicou uma nova versão do cline que parecia idêntica a anterior, só que com uma linhazinha a mais no package.json: "postinstall": "npm install -g openclaw@latest"

Resultado: 4,000 devs instalaram o openclaw nas suas máquinas sem saber (aka: um agente com acesso total ao seu computador) 🥲

Muito importante lembrar que IAs não têm malícia e por isso prompt injections são, na minha opinião, a maior vulnerabilidade delas.

Resumindo galera: CUIDADO.

The number of cancer deaths worldwide has more than doubled since the 1980s. Does that mean we're losing the fight against cancer? Not necessarily, because it depends on how you measure it. On this chart, you can see three ways to look at the same data.

The red line shows the total number of cancer deaths. It has increased by about 120%, but this measure doesn't account for the fact that the world's population has also grown enormously over this period.

Another approach is to look at the death rate: the number of cancer deaths divided by the total population. That's the brown line, called the crude cancer death rate. It has increased too, but much less — around 20%.

But there's still a problem: the world's population has been getting older. Cancer is mostly a disease of old age, so even per capita, we'd expect more cancer deaths simply because there are more older people than before.

That's where the method of “age standardization” comes in. It's a way of asking: what would the cancer death rate look like if the age structure of the population hadn't changed?

The blue line shows this age-standardized rate: it's fallen by about 25%. At any given age, people are now less likely to die of cancer than they were in the 1980s.

The same underlying data gives us three different pictures. The absolute number of deaths is up; the crude rate is up slightly; the age-standardized rate is down. None of these are inaccurate, but they answer different questions.

Age standardization is one of the most important statistical methods for making sense of health data. Without it, population aging can hide progress or mask problems.

Every recent Apple device already has the hardware to run this.

Assuming we can verify the app is genuine and the device is trusted via App Attest and DeviceCheck, we can prove with hardware-backed cryptographic evidence who created any content, at the exact moment of creation.

I'm sad to see this update, but it's a giant opportunity for whoever hires him next.

​Luke brings a rare mix of technical experience, video production, and education. It's been a joy to work with him.

We shipped great things together, and any team would be lucky to have his creativity.

​Please help share this so it reaches the right team! 👇

TL; DR
I was one of the people laid off from @celestia today.

I’ve been in tech since 1996. I’ve worked at many places, and one thing I’ve learned is that it’s rare to find a team that really, really clicks. Celestia was that for me. Teams that ship and execute depend on soft skills, trust, and clear communication. We had that…

But … while I’m bummed, the silver lining is that we work in a small industry and I have a feeling I’ll cross paths with them again soon.

I’ve had a pretty diverse career: engineer, CTO, yoga teacher, owner of a video production company, and now I’ve been in DevRel for the past 3 years.

If you’re looking for a DevRel with a strong background in education and video, reach out. I’m in Buenos Aires for a few more days and can meet in person or hop on a call. My schedule is wide open:)

Over the past year, @viet_nguyen, @JoshCStein, @web3gb, and I delivered a hackathon, an online training course, and more.

It’s an incredibly sad day. I’ve known Bora for a couple of years now and was incredibly blessed to work with her.

She has the incredible (and rare, specially in crypto) talent to connect with people.

Many people are “famous” in crypto because of their Twitter accounts, their “status”, or some other vanity metric. But Bora is one of the few people that many know for being genuinely kind.

If you are looking for someone to do BD at your org, look no further and reach out to Bora!

Camp Mamo is for everyone.

Our bootcamp videos come with subtitles in:

🇬🇧🇺🇸🇨🇦🇦🇺🇳🇿🇿🇦🇮🇪🇸🇬 English (English)
🇹🇭 Thai (ภาษาไทย)
🇪🇸 Spanish (Español)
🇰🇷 Korean (한국어)
🇯🇵 Japanese (日本語)
🇻🇳 Vietnamese (Tiếng Việt)
🇺🇦 Ukrainian (Українська)
🇹🇷 Turkish (Türkçe)

We must end the language gatekeeping if we’re serious about onboarding a million devs.

That’s why Camp Mamo launches with subtitles in 8 languages, not machine-generated, but manually translated by @celestia validator partners.

Build whatever.... in your own language.

s/h to our validator partners for helping translate! @contributedao @Cumulo_pro @dsrvlabs @tanelabs @ttt_lab @everstake_pool @node_101

[Gabriel Barros @web3gb]

Convido a todos a participar desse bootcamp feito com muito carinho!

[luke ลุค @spaceagente]

Camp Mamo starts TODAY! And our friends in Turkey kicked things off with a fab IRL event yesterday.

Have you joined yet? There's still time....
