<p>They won’t just have custom screws, they will sort them by incredibly small amounts of manufacturing error and make those correspond with devices that have similar amounts of manufacturing error, so it matches(like a slightly too large screw going with a slightly too large hole).<p>On production lines.<p>Obviously this is not plan A, but their ops team is insane.</p>

<p><p><pre><code>  MoltBook is vibe coded. It passed its own API key via client side JS, and in doing so exposed full read/write access to it’s supabase db, complete with over a million API keys.

That is groundbreaking for a product held in such high esteem, just not in a good way.<p>I lack the words to explain my frustration at this timeline.</p>

<p>Because botnets are mostly there to make money nowadays. Or owned by state actors.<p>Either way, it’s  opportunity cost.</p>

<p>For awhile(maybe a year ago?) it seemed like verbal abuse was the best way to make Claude pay attention. 
In my head, it was impacting how important it deemed the instruction. And it definitely did seem that way.</p>

<p>I have never had a non wtf moment talking to an apple software engineer at a bar.<p>I can recall one explaining to me in the mid 20 teens that the next iPhone would be literally impossible to jailbreak in any capacity with 100% confidence.<p>I could not understand how someone that capable(he was truly bright) could be that certain. That is pure 90s security arrogance. The only secure computer is one powered off in a vault, and even then I am not convinced.<p>Multiple exploits were eventually found anyway.<p>We never exchanged names. That’s the only way to interact with engineers like that and talk in real terms.</p>

<p>Much better prices, and simplicity. The power you get from Hetzner or Kimsufi is crazy compared to AWS.<p>If I need to host something small, I don’t want to mess around with the many permissions and quirks that are required to deal with AWS. It is often much easier to just setup the server on a standalone service.</p>

<p>Honestly Miller strikes me different. It’s not coincidence he’s survived so long.<p>He’s not an idiot. He knows how much damage he can absorb and how to position himself to not take more than that. He never positions himself as the implementation person who will take the hits. He’s the idea guy, and the manipulator/cheerleader.  He doesn’t seem to expect trump to take care of him for his loyalty, so he doesn’t position himself to require it.<p>I think ultimately he won’t be thrown under the bus because his relationship with Trump is mutually beneficial, and they both see it as transactional. For both of them, the other is a means to an end. Soul mates in hell I guess.</p>
