This was such an enjoyable read. I’ve been a bit meh on software development recently and this really re-piqued some old interests.

Been wondering this as well. I also don’t really understand the mitm to jailbreak pipeline

Strongly concur

Worth noting that the coordinates for cell towers returned by the WLOC API are coarse enough to be just about useless for locating towers. For APs it’s much better but still not great.

Think you could argue that’s more LLM-assisted engineering than it is vibe coding.

It’s literally stopping them from routine training and maintenance.

Or simpler still, although related. Maybe we just can’t afford it: https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2026/07/21/...

Shockingly poorly handled by the maintainers. Goodness.

It is. 1856.

Love that idea, thanks for sharing

I’m intrigued by the question but I do think it has some worrying implications for portability.

Political leanings aren’t genetic

Yeah this is pretty much it.

I use the ever living hell out of .git/info/exclude. Works great for scripts/Makefiles I only want locally and collaborators wouldn’t care about or be able to use.

> Their initial reply from the CEO: "I would love to hear what the vulnerability is, but I assume you want to get paid for it. Is that the play?"

Well that’s pretty damning.

I’m not up to date on local models, but is that clear?

Holy cow this is weird

Thanks!

Would it do well on a Kindle or does it rely on illustrations?

It’ll be tough but I guess I’ll continue not using IMDb for anything at all

I had a bit of a pain of a time trying to get Claude to work with ghidra. What you’re describing seems like a better alternative, would you agree?

I mean, you can disagree with the sentiment (I certainly do), but there are still an awful lot of people saying it.

Yeah, absolutely not.

If you can’t understand your code, who can?

Further: configure reader mode as the default for the sites you’re most commonly linked to.

The “Do X in Y lines of code” thing where the Y lines of code include import statements is so, so silly.

I did the exact opposite of this in 2011 and it was the easily the most memorable 3 months of my life. Takes some planning (mostly making sure visa dates line up) but it is an incredible experience.

I believe the Atlantic requires an account to read gift links

I’m arguing that just because a baseband processor is involved that doesn’t mean IMSI tracking is a vulnerability of the baseband processor itself. IMSI provisioning and randomization cannot be done without cooperation with the network operator and has nothing to do with the baseband processor itself.

Right but it’s not a baseband vulnerability
