We're hiring a Trust & Safety Engineer to join Runway's AI Safety and Responsibility team. Runway builds AI world models - general-purpose simulators for robotics, science, and storytelling — and this role exists to keep that safe as it reaches millions of users.

Stack: TypeScript API on ECS/Fargate, Python/PyTorch inference backend, Claude + Gemini for safety/moderation, ClickHouse for abuse signal detection, AWS + GCP, Terraform, Prometheus/Grafana.

It's a generalist role, hands-on across the full engineering lifecycle - from model pre-training through productionisation. We're looking for 3+ years production Python or TypeScript, comfort across the stack, and experience with data pipelines (ClickHouse a plus).

Apply here: https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/runway-ml/c3ebd871-ea78-4b71-80a2-7..., or feel free to reach out with any questions (info in bio).

We're also hiring for a bunch of other roles, across Engineering, Research, GTM, Marketing, Finance, Legal: https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/runway-ml?utm_source=kW6D9goed3

As someone who often uses Spotlight Search for quick calculations, I was left yearning for more - a way of quickly running snippets of code and bridge the gap between a calculator and a full on script. Plonk solves that problem by dropping you in to a persistent Python interpreter with a global hotkey. The `%copy` command can be used to dump the previous output to the clipboard, or `%copy ` to dump the output of a specific expression/variable.

Plonk plugs into system Python by default, but is also compatible with virtualenvs or uv projects.

The whole purpose of Raycast is to improve productivity and UX, be that under macOS or Windows. It'd be a pretty shitty launch announcement if the blog post didn't mention the problem that they're trying to solve.

Edit: I'm not sure if the post was edited after my reply, but ATM there's no mention of BSODs - the closest I can see to a dig at Windows is:

> You know the feeling. Search that can't find your files. Apps buried in menus. Simple tasks that take too many clicks. Your computer should be faster than this. It should feel like everything is at your fingertips. That’s why we built Raycast.

That really winds me up too - it shows such contempt for legitimate customers.

The docs for the toolchain he implemented (https://github.com/taviso/rarvmtools) allude to a number of bugs, but doesn't sound (??) like they're related to this vulnerability.

The summary is pretty funny:

> "After trying four methods, I got so tired of this problem that it was time just to choose something, make it into a usable tool, and announce the solution"

Aspects of the post seem to borrow quite heavily from the original write-ups, which are worth a read.
