I was just looking for something to watch tonight. Thanks for the recommendation!

This is certainly a fun exercise in economics. By taking a shortened work-week, should the companies then pay us 80% of our current comp? Or maybe a little less since they will have to pay for the added tokens we are now using as part of our job that we used to do manually (i.e. time)? Or perhaps we are able to justify that now they can save overhead by reducing facilities costs by 20% as well. Oh but maybe their business lease has a continuous occupancy clause and now the reduction in foot traffic causes them to get penalized so they need to reduce our salaries even more. Slippery slope my friend.

From your statement and the parent comment, just learned that "cargo cult" is a thing, but cargo-culting as a compound is something AI has made up? [1].

As I was educating myself, I found Richard Feynman's Commencement Speech at Caltech in '74 [2] that might have coined this for our industry? If you would rather listen than read [3]. Posting this for others curious on the term.

By default Windows 11 will not run an untrusted .exe/PE file - it's governed by Microsoft Defender SmartScreen that will present a pop-up scaring people away and it actually isn't intuitive to click-through to run the program unless you've done it before.

It's fun to think about tile dilation per the exif captured Create Date: "2026:04:03 00:27:39.26". I know it's negligible over the trip, but when they took it, was their time really "2026:04:03 00:27:39.25"?

Their master diagram example in #3 contains a #2 mistake with an unconnected resource (the stripe account). Maybe a double validation of why the master diagrams can be hard to maintain.

For cross-compilation ease it makes sense if you don't care about the size explosion.

"Many of our security bugs are detected using AddressSanitizer, MemorySanitizer, UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer, Control Flow Integrity, libFuzzer, or AFL."

Interesting they are listing archived projects and not OSS-Fuzz. What's the reason for this?

..But it says "Available to all Claude Code users on subscription plans (Pro/Max/Team/Enterprise) and Claude Console."

Is this wrong?

Congrats on the first batch shipment! What an accomplishment. As someone who just crossed 10 years as a first time foray into HW, I'd like to tell you it gets easier. It doesn't but keep going anyway! Good luck.

Google shows a samaple of the IOCs but Google Trust Services have issued a number of the SSL certs for those domains that have not been revoked (yet?).

Only looking at the:

- a8d3b9e1f5c7024d6e0b7a2c9f1d83e5.com

- af4760df2c08896a9638e26e7dd20aae.com

- cfe47df26c8eaf0a7c136b50c703e173.com

Looks like a standard MD5 hash domain pattern of which currently there are:

  user@host:/data/domains/2026/01/30$ zgrep -iE '^[a-f0-9]{32}\.com$' com.txt_domains.gz | wc -l
  3005

If you look at some of the others (not listed in Google's IOC), they tend to have a pattern with their SSL certs e.g.:

Appreciate the write up. If Claude presents a multi part shell questionnaire (as it does in planning). Would this miss other questions?

Just like on a piece of hardware that doesn't have a RTC, we rely on NTP. Maybe we just need an NTP MCP for the agents. Looks like there are several open-source projects already but I'm not linking to them because I don't know their quality or trust.
