As it turns out, that Cursor git.exe bug is not in Cursor. It's in VSCode. https://discourse.ifin.network/t/remember-that-cursor-git-exe-bug-its-in-vscode-too/665

Seriously, fuck this week with a honey locust branch.

The wrong people are getting rich.

There is a squirrel up there somewhere that is eating something and dropping the pieces it doesn't like on me.

Oh, I like this one a lot. This has little to do with ML, it's just a stupid bug in the program. https://www.darkreading.com/application-security/cursor-ide-malicious-code-poisoned-repos #cursor #poisoning

Hell, I need to dig this up just for testing. I mean, the attackers use our defense tools, amirite? https://securityaffairs.com/195321/hacking/attacker-used-ai-to-build-custom-powershell-recon-malware.html #powershell #ad

Today? Today is a cigar at 9:30am day.

Someone needs to tell the bad guys that A02:2025 applies to them too. They shoulda had a pen test hmmmm? https://thehackernews.com/2026/07/misconfigured-server-reveals-three.html #cybercrime #owasp

Well, shit.

Our own @sternecker is gonna show off his agentic management tools he built (I've seen a preview!) at the Cleveland ISC2 this month. Be there. I MIGHT be there, if I am lucky. Dead GOD that is the longest URL evar. What's the limit now? I think it is more than 1024 but still sheesh […]

"Lovecraftian" was just added to the OED last month. While I'm honestly shocked it wasn't already there, a large part of me is all "Yeah that tracks."

Bluejays are assholes. I thought starlings were bad, but sheesh. Way to lower the bar guys.

Oh, ima gonna barf. https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2026/07/ai-surveillance-and-social-progress.html #surveillance #ai #🤮

It's utterly mind blowing how folks are coming up with new ways to exploit the code sharing community. This is why we can't have nice things. https://www.securityweek.com/network-of-200-github-repositories-used-for-malware-infection/ #foss #malware

Alrite people. How the hell is everyone? Back to work for me tomorrow.

This is strange. Out of the blue. Never used Chat GPT but do have an account with Open ai, so that makes sense sorta. But this is like ... apropos of nothing? Very weird.

France is taking over the world with robots. https://youtu.be/7dpLB9NoY1A

This is what I was wondering about with all of there kernel flaws - when would someone jump the hypervisor. I'm guessing "now." https://www.securityweek.com/linux-kernel-vulnerability-allows-vm-escape-on-intel-and-amd-systems/

I need a right click menu item that has a "tell me what this tiny emoji thing is" in my browser. Think AI can do that for me? /s Well, /s for the AI part. I really do need that menu item.

That's an odd way to make word choice decisions, Guardian.

That was a hell of a game and I know nothing about soccer. #worldcup

Over under on how long it will take King Charles to call FIFA?

So, football fans, what do you think of Trump stepping in to get that red card reversed?

Hey, @zackwhittaker saw the video from @alice_watson in the newsletter and had a similar experience with a firearm lock (!!). https://youtu.be/FsO1IliIf00?si=WJZTx12upbf2A-Zc

Happy 250th everyone. Let's eat.

Hey, lookie here! Only 71F this morning at 0630! Dew point of 69F too, that's pretty good right? 😬

Hey-o, Northern Buckeyes. Hang on from that weather. Man, I just looked at the radar, and you're getting slammed.

Fun nature moment at the Sempf Compound. Me: "Oh wow, that pretty butterfly just landed on our umbrella." Sparrow. "Yup."

TIL AOL News still exists.

I am on a website that unironically recreated the `marquee` tag in CSS, except it runs backwards. You have to remember the end of the sentence by the time it gets to the beginning of the sentence, which is very funny. I am not certain what their goal was there.

Today's harvest. #gardening

Hey looky, the orb weavers are out! Who's ready for Halloween?

Yeah, this is pretty much my experience. Even with a jailbroken (or abliteratuonated or whatever the kids call it) model I just use it to see if I miss anything. Now code review? Different story. Super good at code review […]

At least El Reg uses true words in a line with a dot. Prompt injection cannot totally be remediated. https://www.theregister.com/ai-and-ml/2026/06/30/security-researchers-tricked-llms-into-giving-them-cocaine-recipes-by-abusing-role-models-for-prompt-injection/5264115 #llm #promptinjection

Ok, this is a really slick attack. A lot can go wrong with machine learning code, but this is a known problem. This is why we don't call command line executables in web apps. https://securityaffairs.com/194546/ai/guardfall-flaw-hits-10-of-11-popular-open-source-ai-agents.html #bash #shellinjection

Well, at least they can't blame the refs.

Soccer people:was that really a red card penalty? And power play for THE REST OF THE GAME? That's unreasonable. I know it's the rule but sheesh.

Well, at least he got the president right.

Okay, people, I like temperature. I like cold temperatures sometimes. I like hot temperatures sometimes. I like middle temperatures sometimes. I'm a big believer in living someplace with four seasons. That said, it is *hot* outside, like way too hot! It's okay on the deck in the shade with the […]

I see the EU has ended their version of de minimis, which is designed to prevent the purchase of cheap goods tariff-free in small batches from China. I understand the perspective. China is an economic force. There is no question, but I fail to understand the benefit of taxing the daylights out […]

I see the feds realized that we were gonna print t-shirts. Good news. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/kmoussouris_anthropic-fable5-ai-share-7477877859441647617-HEv8/?rcm=ACoAAAAwoYsBluV471sHfpI8eAP-IPq24Tg3n0k

I love the whole "America's Workforce Academy powered by Meta", basically saying, "Hey, if you're a knowledge worker, you're screwed, so you better go learn how to fit pipes."

RE: https://infosec.exchange/@josephcox/116839241594162107 404 is doing God's own work here. I need to send this to EVERYONE I know under 30 and over 70.

It is so humid in the 614 that it smells like a swimming pool in my front yard. We don't have a swimming pool. Nobody around here has a swimming pool.

OK, Mistral, that's about enough of THAT.

Anyone played with GLM-5.2 yet?
