We release CAD in @threejs → smlibpy.classcad.ch → npm install @classcad/smlibpy-three It has the full capability of the SMLIB kernel. The API surface has been shaped around Three's primitives, classes, conventions, ops yield THREE.Mesh, supports selection & raycast.

New in Claude for Legal: a gallery of ready-made artifacts for contract review, regulatory horizon scans, cite checks, and more. Start from the built-in example, add your own documents and connectors, and share it with anyone across the business.

We used to talk about a "pit of success". Humans would be dragged towards writing the right code by well-designed API's, a good test suite, sensible lint rules. You couldn't make the pit too steep, otherwise the humans would get annoyed. There was a social contract. Feels like what we need now is a black hole of success. An inescapable event horizon agents cannot cross. Agents don't feel annoyed, so you can crank up the pressure to infinity. There is no social contract to break. In other words, increase the forces on agents to the maximum. Make great code inevitable.

I replaced all my SaaS tools with vibe coded open source alternatives. I had to hire a server guy to maintain them for $2k/mo. But I'm saving $150/mo.

🌏 Introduce x18n, the ultimate toolkit for managing i18n files! You get CLI, linter, interactive UI, LSP, editor support, CI/CD, and native agent integrations. Make sure you have your locale files up to date and agents in the loop For any frameworks! x18n.dev/

experimenting with a lil personal project: an AI-native macOS dock with custom modes (writing, building, etc.) to help me stay focused my agent is able to customize mode behavior and add new modes, it uses jev to classify my activity + notifications in real time & act on them

the moment we split one MVP across claude code, codex and cursor, it broke. not the models. the context. > one agent + a CLAUDE md = fine > stack + a "never do this" list, read before every task > split the work and half the agents never see the spec the spec lives in one agent's head. the rest guess. @tryAlanAI is a shared context layer across all three. it's the first thing i'd test. do you run more than one coding agent on the same project, or is one enough?

I'm seeing benchmark methodologies you wouldn't BELIEVE in some of these agent-authored projects

Cursor just fully broke last T3 Code nightly. I wish I was joking. Their vibe code broke our app. Fix building now. New pipeline to prevent this coming soon after. Gonna be a long night 🙃

The ability to build anything has come with a critical lesson: Engineers have really, really bad ideas.

Yesterday I spent all day typing this into Claude Code: "Do a full security audit of this website and server" On every single VPS (and site) I have I already had automatic unattended upgrades with auto reboot for security updates in Ubuntu (reboot only takes 4 minutes so I think it's fine every few weeks) Also isolated each VPS on Tailscale with special security policies (generated by Claude Code! so it can not access any other VPS (in case it gets hacked) and not even access my MacBook or iPhone unless I talk to it first Also lots of user permission stuff isolating stuff to www-data to avoid root access for web services Not the most fun stuff but essential I think in addition to @yongfook's "marketing week" we now have to add one week per month of "security week" because with the models getting better our pre-emptive defense has to get better too Luckily for us I think the attack and defense capabilities of AI models seems to somewhat match? So as long as we keep typing "do a security audit" regularly into our clanker we can keep it safe I hope 🫨

We believe voice is the most natural way to interact with intelligence, so we created Dessa, the most authentic full-duplex speech model ever built. Talking with it feels like talking with a person…full of emotion, nuance, pauses, and a natural cadence. block.xyz/dessa

its time.

BREAKING: OpenAI says it found a critical flaw in Brotli, a widely used compression library built into software like Node.js, Bun and Envoy. The bug could let an attacker take over a system just by sending it malicious compressed data, with no login needed. That works both ways: a hacker could hijack an unpatched server, or a malicious server could hijack an unpatched user’s device.

So basically, today PHP got two critical bugs that let anyone run code on your server without even logging in, which is bad, and then the details leaked before the patch was even out, which is worse, and it works on WordPress and MediaWiki and Magento and Joomla and Laravel, and Censys says like 1.5 million servers are running a version with no fix, so the NSA was like "take your system offline," and the FBI was like "take your system offline," and CISA and the UK and CERT-EU were all like "take your system offline," and then the Prime Minister of Japan, the actual Prime Minister, posted at 5:55 in the morning telling 48.8 million people to take their system offline, so everyone took their system offline, like the Dutch cybersecurity agency took its own website offline, and the Dutch parliament went offline, and the Port of Rotterdam went offline, and Finland and France and Denmark started pulling government sites, and Wikipedia went down, and Archive.org went down, and Asana and GOG and Something Awful went down, and the University of Vienna's webmail went down for some reason, and that's just PHP. Because GitLab also dropped a CVSS 10.0, which is the highest score they give out, for a bug that's been there since 2014, so that's every self-hosted GitLab for twelve years, and then LiteLLM 1.107.0 got hijacked and shipped a credential stealer and a remote access trojan in every single wheel and the Docker images, including latest, and you didn't even have to import it, just installing it was enough, and it's the second time this year, and then Railway paused every deployment on the entire platform because someone got into the environment variables, so now everyone has to rotate every secret they've ever stored there, and TiDB Cloud said someone was walking around inside with stolen credentials for basically a month and an extortion group says they took 10.6 terabytes, and Zeabur got breached for the second time in two months and is just shutting down, like the whole company, and Node.js patched remote code execution and a TLS bypass, and CISA says Plex is being actively exploited, and someone took over 300 Tor exit relays to steal SSH passwords, and SafePay ransomware has hit over 600 critical infrastructure orgs, and India's biggest bank filed a data loss incident, and Japan has been in an official state of emergency in cyberspace since October 9, which honestly explains the 5:55 AM post. Oh, and eMudhra, a certificate authority that's issued over 60 million certificates, whose entire job is proving websites are who they say they are, was supposed to be using private keys that are random numbers over a hundred digits long, and one of them was 4. Just 4. And the others were like 66 and 237. Anyway, it's Wednesday.

Day before yesterday it was PHP Today it's Ruby!
