GRU hacked Jared Kushner's phone and Dutch intelligence infiltrated them.

Nix as a concept is amazing, Nix as a language sucks. Combining it with a LLM really is a cheatcode.
Re:Mistral Large 4: "Le Chonk" on Tuesday October 06, 2026 @10:15AM (#49978850)
Open weight, European, competes with GLM-5.3 on cybersecurity. What's not to like?
Re:OpenAI: Tomorrow we are re-opening the Pro $200 subscription on Tuesday September 29, 2026 @03:23AM (#49889429)
This doesn't bode well, 500$ is the new 200$? Wild that they're doing this after Sonnet/Opus 5.5 releases.

I wonder how legal it is to change usage during a running subscription.

Re:Pi's Minimalism Is Its Advantage on Wednesday August 05, 2026 @02:48AM (#49179396)
Oh, I stand corrected. It's been a while since I've used their models.

Glad we can still use OpenAI subscription through Pi.

Re:Pi's Minimalism Is Its Advantage on Wednesday August 05, 2026 @02:19AM (#49179221)
You can use both providers in Pi using subscriptions. Be careful with Anthropic though, it’s against their TOS.
Though this program does not apply to Fable. Which is why most security researchers have started flocking to Sol.
It reads like an ad.

Secondly these are "just" IDORs, arguably the easiest class of vulnerabilities.

Thirdly it compares to GPT 5.5 and Opus 4.8.

No, we don't have Mythos at home.

>from our experience, uBO Lite does not seem to be as good as the original non-Lite version

In what way? I've never noticed a difference.

Re:Claude Fable 5 on Tuesday June 09, 2026 @01:54PM (#48464823)
It's not a freebie, it still requires a subscription and burns tokens twice as fast as Opus.
I could be wrong, but I believe the name is in reference to the Divine Rapier, an item in Dota 2, which is very popular among Russian speakers.
Fine. Not really different from most governments relying on private suppliers to manage their infrastructure.
DigiD itself is government-owned, but its infrastructure is managed by Solvinity (a private company). Not really different from the US gov running half its stack on AWS.
Re:New Nginx Exploit on Thursday May 14, 2026 @01:38PM (#48138580)
This one's pretty bad but there are some preconditions.

Requires a "rewrite" directive with a questionmark in the replacement string, and then a subsequent "set" directive that references a regex capture group (e.g. set $var $1).

Also the POC assumes ASLR is disabled.

We're enrolled in the Cyber Verification Program and Claude will happily help me look for vulnerabilities and built POCs demonstrating RCE. But when I point it to a malware sample and ask for analysis it will still refuse any work. It's incredibly frustrating.

Re:Tailscale's new macOS home on Thursday April 02, 2026 @04:05PM (#47619479)
The only reason I used Tailscale's menubar applet was to change exit nodes, I definitely don't need a whole UI.

Guess I'll just stick with CLI only for now (via darwin-nix)

If you're OK with it draining 3% battery per hour when you close the lid, sure.
Re:Claude Code LSP on Monday March 02, 2026 @07:58AM (#47217425)
Not sure if it's Claude Code or golsp, but I had to uninstall the plugin. Regularly makes Claude Code crash with golsp going to 100% CPU usage.

It is as long as they're not refunding you when you make a loss.

This is slop right?

Re:Notes on Switching to Helix from Vim on Friday October 10, 2025 @03:05PM (#45542560)
I tried to switch from neovim to helix for a couple weeks, but noted down the following things that were essential to me and not implemented yet:

- Code actions on save, for example adding Go imports: https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/pull/6486

- Fuzzy search with a filepicker like telescope+rg, seems to have been added earlier this year: https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/pull/11285

- Automatically updating buffers when the files on disk change (claude, templ, sqlc, etc): https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/issues/1125

- File tree in browser, which has been rejected in favor of a plugin system which has not materialized yet: https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/pull/5768

There were a number of other things too, that I could have lived with. I guess I'll try again in a year or two.

Re:Go automatically downloads a newer toolchain if needed on Tuesday August 20, 2024 @08:09AM (#41299279)
After explicitly setting the python version to 3 in package.json? Yes please!
I appear to have crashed the server with "tic 999", sorry guys!
