Anthropic Mythos: supposedly so good at finding security flaws it might be "too dangerous to use"

Anthropic Claude: so riddled with critical security flaws (and obvious to anyone competent) it actuallly *is* too dangerous to use

@lcamtuf Rustaceans are the problem, not Rust itself. theyre like a lobbing group trying explicitly to boost their future employment demand much more than prioritized on doing the right thing as engineers or for the community. much like the AI VC are "talking up their book" even if its poison for the rest of us

@wolf480pl @sten @ChuckMcManis @lcamtuf most serious race condition in production is the race to push to prod before you bounce on a Friday afternoon

@adapalmer Or the whales are sick of our BS and have started to unionize

@tj I’m personally pissed off at browsers for giving web authors this ability. The browser is supposed to be the user agent! My features! Not yours!

Can web developers stop fucking with scroll bars please? No website is so beautiful that it justifies losing the ability to see how far the page scrolls down. I don't give two shits about your design vision.

All of the advances in #deltachat apps and the growth of the #chatmail relay network, wouldn't be possible without public funds and private donations, an estimated 800K EUR in 2026 ❤️ money goes to ~16 FOSS contributors with no money left for president, board or director salaries 🖤

Signal uses >50 Million per year, Telegram and Whatsapp 100's Millions, and they are all not building permission-free decentralized chat infra and apps, let alone secure mini app ecosystems https://webxdc.org

@vnikolov @janneke @spook I do wish Real Programmers™ would stick to #Perl, which was written especially for (and by) them.

@maxtepafray its really funny to see the tribal blindness. elon takes over and suddenly twitter is turbo fascist bad evil and you point out they're literally doing the same things they've been doing for ten years and everyone goes

@cwebber
What if you norm this graph by the net worth of the world's richest person at the time.

The trouble with open source is being a gift economy in a world that has largely forgotten such a thing can and did exist for thousands of years. You don't have to pay for it as if it was a product, because it isn't. But you really ought to consider giving something back. Add to the stone soup.

Dear #software developers: once again, don't require people to have a GitHub account to report #bugs. Generally, you shouldn't have just one channel, but it goes double for GitHub.

Oh look, there's a cool new app that runs in the terminal! Let's check out the feature list:

"Written in Rust!"

That's not a feature. No-one cares.

"Uses Vi-like bindings!"

Sure, keep thinking that makes you more productive.

"Opinionated!"

Listen here, you little shit.

More and more apps from #FDroid are now broken on my aging #Android tablet. By changing APIs all the time, Google forces even open source developers into planned obsolescence.

@amoroso The company I worked for in the 80s/90s took the decision to move development of our software (CAD and engineering software) from Fortran to Ada around 1988ish. It was a disaster. The lack of good compilers (and inexpensive ones - Ada ones were around 10x more expensive than C or Fortran, a big issue when you're supporting 15+ different machine platforms and operating systems), particularly for non-UNIX computers, their general inefficiency and the way that everything operating system or graphics display dependent was thrown at non-standard pragma interfaces meant we spent more time porting software to our target hardware and debugging the vagaries of each machine than developing it or adding new functionality! (It used to take one of my engineers a couple of weeks to port and fully test our Fortran based code to new platforms - in some cases we spent months trying to get stuff to work reliably under Ada and failed completely in Microsoft PC environments). Needless to say our lunch was eaten by competitors including Autodesk and PTC, who had no such issues as they didn't adopt Ada! I think I detest the language because of that horrible experience more than I dislike Rust today, and that's saying something! My somewhat controversial view borne of experience is that the big problems in code were/are nearly always due to logic errors and differences between environments/language standards rather than the 'memory safety' bandwagon Ada and Rust adherents point to.

@amoroso Ada is not retrocomputing! 😆
