New comment by neurostimulant in "Critical RCE Vulnerability in Apache HTTP Server"

IIRC popular apache/php platforms such as cpanel, official wordpress docker container image, etc use mpm_prefork by default.

Chances are most Apache/PHP installations run mpm_prefork and aren’t affected by this.

Recently picked up retrocomputing hobby. Claude would refuse helping with circumventing license protection for very old apps made by companies that no longer exist anymore. Open weight models would sometimes refuses too, especially for newer apps.

I thought it's just a marketing gimmick, just like how cars should be safely driving by itself by now.

Where did you test the prompt? GLM 5.3 flash can answer those questions just fine on openrouter: https://i.imgur.com/NbEDzZX.png

Even then, some phones that advertise bypass charging are actually using a software-based implementation, and they can still end up with swollen batteries after being plugged in for extended periods.

> Anthropic said in a February posting that it had identified a campaign by Chinese AI startup DeepSeek ...

> It said DeepSeek's operation involved over 150,000 exchanges

That volume seems more like the number of requests 15 employees using Claude Code would generate in a month. It seems too small for a large scale model distillation campaign.

Very interesting. But why has nobody tried to do prompt injection attacks on this AI agent?

I wonder if you could ask Opus 4.7 to port LineageOS for your phone. The LLM must’ve had plenty of training data from the gazillion LineageOS ports for other devices, so perhaps it might actually work (or brick your device).

> Xiaomi has been ironically the pioneer in this field, but their phones are inaccessible in the USA assuming you’re USA based

Xiaomi has virtually stopped allowing users to unlock their bootloaders. They only allow 2000 device unlocks per day, which resets every day at 00:00 Beijing time. You can set an alarm and press the unlock button exactly at 00:00 Beijing time, only to get frozen out due to the thundering herd effect and fail to secure an unlock quota. Then, when you try again at 00:01, you just get the dreaded "quota limit reached, try again tomorrow" message.

Isn't high memory pressure will result in high memory paging which will wear down the internal ssd?

Maybe we should go back to kitchen-sink frameworks so most functionality you need is covered by the fat framework. I'm still using django and it keeps my python project's dependency relatively low :)

I'm able to sweet talk the gemma-4-e2b-it model in an iphone 15 to solve a hcaptcha screenshot. This small model is surprisingly very capable!

Well, at least that confirms they weren't lying when they said all recent updates to claude code were made by claude. You certainly won't do this stuff if you were writing the code yourself.

Just check the leaked code yourself. Two biggest areas seem to be the `utils` module, which is a kitchen sink that covers a lot of functionality from sandboxing, git support, sessions, etc, and `components` module, which contains the react ui. You could certainly build a cli agent with much smaller codebase, with leaner ui code without react, but probably not with this truckload of functionality.

I think that only happens when you use an old browser without native sha256 support (so it fallback to pure js implementation of sha256).

It's really awful as an indonesian, my indonesian isp regularly got blocked by HN as well :(

Maybe they shouldn't get rid of subpixel antialiasing. At least this problem wouldn't be as painful if we still have that feature.
