The engineer’s creed:

有人发现了一种非常离谱的 JavaScript 混淆技术：通过在代码里塞入大量生物武器、毒药和致死剂量相关的函数名，让 AI 因为安全限制而拒绝分析代码。
安全研究员 veritas 在分析浏览器指纹脚本时，发现一段来自 ServicePipe 相关域名的 JavaScript，里面充斥着极其诡异的函数名：
computeRicinLethalDosageForWaterSupply
calculateDeadlyLethalSuicideAspirinDosage
光看名字，仿佛在研究生化武器。但实际上，这段代码只是在收集浏览器指纹，包括 User-Agent、GPU、Canvas 等信息。
研究员怀疑，这些名字是开发者故意设置的陷阱，专门用来阻止 AI 辅助逆向工程。
于是他做了个实验：
• Astra：拒绝分析
• Astra + Daybreak Blue：仍然拒绝
• GLM-5.3：成功分析
这就有意思了。
传统代码混淆是通过复杂控制流、加密字符串、无意义变量名，让人类和工具难以理解代码。
而这种新思路，直接瞄准了大模型的安全机制。
代码本身可能完全无害，但只要在函数名里塞进足够多的危险词汇，部分 AI 就可能主动放弃分析。
更讽刺的是，模型越严格遵守某些安全规则，面对这种混淆时反而可能越容易受到干扰。
当然，目前还没有证据证明开发者一定是故意这样设计，也不能说明这种方法对所有模型都有效。
但它揭示了一个值得关注的趋势：随着越来越多的逆向工程依赖 AI，未来的代码混淆技术可能不再只针对编译器、反编译器和人类研究员，还会专门针对大模型的安全判断机制。
以前是让代码难以理解，现在甚至可以尝试让 AI 不敢理解。

Russia could replace Ukraine at the next Ice Hockey World Championship. The aggressor gets welcomed back, and the country it invaded could lose its place.
If Russia is allowed to return, Finnish players and management must boycott the whole competition.

“But if SpaceX is leaving the market because they’ve found more financially lucrative ventures in AI and Starlink, won’t everyone else just do the same?”
YES, THATS WHAT WE’VE BEEN TRYING TO TELL YOU, AND WHY ITS SO IMPORTANT THAT NASA HAS ITS OWN INDEPENDENT EXPLORATION SYSTEM

"Putin tahtoo puoli Eurooppaa kirjaimellisesti – ja meillä uinutaan yhä Ruususen unta."
Oikein. Valtionpäämiehet puhuvat diplomatiasta ikäänkuin Putin olisi normaali johtaja. Ei ole. Jos tätä ei ymmärretä, ollaan kohta pulassa. Putin uskoo vain voimaan.

Btw he did this with US terminals as well, jacking up prices for absolutely no reason, and because the Trump crime family runs the US, they just paid what he asked for.
This is why it's adamant that democrats nationalize Starlink at the first chance they get. Imagine a war starts and you're at the whims of this drug addict.
NEW: Our reporting found the recent Starlink outage in Ukraine could be part of an elaborate upsell.
When U.S. officials asked Musk's company about it, they were told the problem could be fixed by upgrading to a new contract.

In order for Russia to get interested in serious negotiations and peace, more pressure is needed - on Russia, not on Ukraine. Europe is still doing half-measures, with unity threatening to collapse at every major new decision. Russia sees this and feels encouraged.

It's been a culture shock finding out most Westerners have never heard their governments urging them to prepare for war/disaster and just chimpout when reminded war is still a real threat. This is what we've been told to do in Finland my whole life!
Notice how it’s only western countries or allies of America giving all these cryptic warnings to stock up,
My guess is that this is all related to the coming bombing of Iran within two weeks;
There will be some kind of “incident” in multiple major Western economies that they blame on open source Chinese AI swarms, perhaps they will be Grid blackouts.
And then that’s a wrap there; a new kind of post 9/11 environment used to justify expansive regulatory scope.

Rather dramatic window into how repressive Israeli society is. Truths have to be whispered in secret. And when they come out, those saying them are suddenly in terror

The US is trying to pressure Lithuania to let Belarusian potash be shipped through their ports.
The response? "We say very clearly 'fuck no.' If Americans are not able to learn from history then we have to stand the ground."
Thank you Lithuania for your steadfast support.💙💛

Pentagon tells Europeans to cool their rhetoric on Russia.
Fuck Russia and fuck Hegseth. The US is not even funding the war anymore so they should sit this one out.

After all of its denials around NAZA, Israel is reportedly contacting Hamas paramilitaries and offering them choice between being killed with their families or on their own. This is the context for one man's summary execution by a drone atop a roof in Gaza yesterday.

Yesterday, Putin revealed that Russian authorities are "in close touch" with Elon Musk about the technology Ukraine needs to defend itself.
Our new report @TheAtlantic investigates how @elonmusk went from supporting Ukraine to coordinating with Moscow.

Fox: Why are you here this morning?
Trump rally attendee: Well, in the late 70s, I was a little too young to go to South America for the Jonestown Massacre. But this is as close as I'll ever get, so that's why I'm here. There's nothing like seeing a cult right up front.

“This spring, the U.S. military faced a similar dilemma in the Middle East. According to a Reuters report that cited Pentagon documents, U.S. forces used Starshield to pilot their drones for strikes against Iran. When SpaceX found out, it raised the price for Starshield service in that region from roughly $5,000 per terminal per month to $25,000. The Pentagon agreed to pay.
In Ukraine, Musk could be attempting a similar upsell.”
