X.509 needs to be replaced with a simple key you get for free during domain registration. Then the blast radius of key compromise is a single domain name and not the whole internet.

As far as I'm aware, that's not possible because of how the git protocol is designed.
Re:How to speed up the Rust compiler in September 2026

Can't confirm this "pretty generous", many people with lots of contributions to popular projects got any from OpenAI, not even a response to their request.

Re:Claude Code reads AGENTS.md only when telemetry is on
on Wednesday September 23, 2026 @08:42PM (#49824692)
What's also annoying is that Claude Code now spams "agents-md: no CLAUDE.md found; AGENTS.md loaded" on every startup. I could just do that silently, no need to inform me that I'm using the superior file.

It's quite a lot wider and thicker than a mini, and imho looks quite ugly when folded, I don't see the appeal as a single-handed device.

Yeah, the UI is the real and only reason to use Nitter. It's a very similar situation with old reddit.

It's possible to drive them hard enough to really read everything, but you have to go really hard on them with many many cycles.
Re:GLM-5.3 (open-weight) beat Anthropic/OpenAI models – for 1/5 the cost
on Sunday August 23, 2026 @01:07PM (#49410490)
Those benchmarks don't tell much, they only check if a problem was solved, not how. Also there's surely a lot of benchmaxxing going on in the model training.

It's like 100 times slower than ruff. They had to massive caching techniques to get it to a remotely acceptable speed.

On problem of such go linters is they can only lint what the compiler sees so if you have multiple `build` tags, you need to run multiple lint passes. No other language's linter operates like they, they all operate on file level.

Yes, tsconfig is a mess to scope. It needs a re-design to allow glob-based matching for all options and in typescript instead of jsonc.

It'll always be a cat-and-mouse game. If npm adds protections, it'll only yield false-positives and workarounds will be trivial.

Almost all these recent compromises seem to involve either cache poisoning or prompt injection via untrusted variables.
