I can’t help the fact that the original article has a perspective on the matter. But I do know I would always prefer original reporting than what is basically a badly written blogspam rewrite.
The guardian article, though obviously having its own thesis and perspective, presents far more context and detail so that readers can be informed and make up their own mind about the facts of the issue. The NYPost strips out all the detail and uncritically presents the worst possible spin as the ground truth.
I think your “datacenter bad” and “non story” comments indicate that you are biased in the opposite direction that you’re complaining about. You seem not to be interested in actually learning whether any serious misconduct occurred, which is genuinely up for debate.
This issue genuinely matters to a lot of people. Tribalism doesn’t help on either side.
Let’s say I have a node.js app behind an Amazon elastic load balancer which terminates TLS. My understanding is that in nearly all configurations, my app would be unaffected because the ELB would handle decompression. Is that generally correct?
The New York post should basically never be used as a source and this article is a great example of why. It is just obviously
not journalism as most people would recognize the concept. Everything they post is ragebait, clickbait or both. They are institutionally allergic to any form of nuance.
Here is the (much, much higher quality) original reporting that this terrible ny post writeup is based on: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/ng-interactive/2026/...
What are you talking about? It’s a one line terminal invocation. These apps are utterly useless. Of course there’s a million open source ones.
I don’t know, ten years ago a machine that could do anything you asked it to using natural language would have been pretty god damned impressive.
Yeah, all targets are vulnerable. Thats the problem! Are you not paying attention?

> We even stood up a replication feed of their own control-plane database using credentials committed in their own repositories — GCP service-account keys and an Azure service principal — and let their infrastructure deliver it to us. Every six hours, for the last twenty-two days of the campaign, from 8 September to 30 September, that pipeline faithfully re-exported every table of the operational heart of TiDB Cloud — tenants, users, API keys, cluster credentials, changefeeds, migrations — and pushed it out. Eighty-eight consecutive exports, not one detection event.
I can’t even

No.
https://x.com/hackinglz/status/2113025408975143080Chainguard had a vague inkling that there was something in PHP and literally typed “find bad vulnerabilities in PHP” to a frontier model and independently discovered these.
What happens when you type the same into any other language is an exercise for the reader.

Oh. Seems like they are a little too close to this issue for their opinion to carry much weight then.
> The amount of human hours required to build something useful and get it in front of customers has collapsed. With AI, it takes less time and money to get started than ever before
But the same underlying change could destroy the value proposition for 95% of potential startup ideas, or be part of the downfall of the VC system, or even capitalism itself!
So it’s unclear if, on balance, this new state of affairs is “good for solo founders.” Seems like they’re in the same boat as the rest of us, expecting interesting times in the next 1-5 years…
That sounds oddly threatening, especially given that chainguard is in the right here. Embargoes are stupid in 2026 and make no sense. The rumor of this issue was enough for it to be independently discovered by several white hats and almost certainly many threat actors.
The first one I opened only gave me a single option to press and when I pressed it the app told me I was wrong and that Jev had pressed the correct button (which was invisible to me I guess?)
I saw several other questions where I pressed the right answer and the app scored me as wrong. Broken slop.
> legislation aims to protect consumers by directing the FTC to establish regulations
Ugh, even if this were passed, it’s lazy Brain rot legislation. How about congress start writing real laws instead of vague ones that leave all relevant details to executive agencies? It’s just an excuse for congress not to take any position and leave the difficult calls to the president.
Do your job, congress!
This give me hope that other snowy midwestern cities are right around the corner.
A legally required one, natch.
Wow, insisting on archaic definitions of words for pedantic reasons sounds exhausting.
Same way we accomplish anything: break it down into smaller pieces until it’s manageable.

Can you explain for the rest of us the problem with this usage?
I think neural networks are enormous, why is that misuse?

Yeah? Laws are how we encode society’s preference that we not do something.
We’re sure that he did not spend that much and did use (sharded) subscriptions, because he said so.
If archaeology is this difficult just to go back twenty years back in the internet era I don’t know how real historians even function.
