October 18, 1956 in Los Angeles, the Bobby Timmons Trio (with Bobby on piano, Peter Littman on drums, and James Bond on bass) recorded Bobby's arrangement of "Autumn in New York" in a take that came in at two minutes and eight seconds, and I am convinced that it is the most perfect arrangement of the song that I can imagine. I swear those three cats fit a good five minutes of music into that 2:08 without making it feel cramped or rushed. a gift to us all.

So this is new (to me). Gmail now marks outgoing links to "unknown" domains as "suspicious" and "might be harmful".

About the half of the indie websites and blogs in a recent newsletter popped up this warning!

How many people are going to ignore this warning or click on Show Details to see that there's *nothing actively harmful* about the site? They just haven't paid their protection money, I guess. 😠

"Suspicious," indeed. Google is flat-out evil.

• Popup from Gmail when clicking on a link to a small, independent website. There's a yellow caution icon and the text reads: "This link looks suspicious" "This link opens a site that might be harmful." When you click "Show details", it simply says "The reputation of .com is unknown" followed by a "Safer with Google" graphic. The dialog options are "Open anyway" as a text link and "Don't Open" as a highlighted button. (remote)

"This is a somewhat unfashionable definition of code library now, but I think the wisdom of the ancients has some merit. You have some useful code you keep around in your library, and you include it into your programs as needed, but in doing so, you literally copy it into the program."

Just read two different blog posts hyping up React 19, and almost literally *every single feature* the authors are excited about is a feature every other comparable framework has already had for years at this point.

React is so far behind, almost everything it's doing is playing catch-up.

I have updated the 6502 Instruction Set Database I made a couple of weeks ago:

https://gitlab.com/Screwtapello/isa65xx

New in this version:

- Now has all the instructions, addressing modes and cycle timings of the 65C02 (the base model, not including extensions added by Rockwell and WDC)
- Represents instructions with the same mnemonic but different behaviour, like the way BIT's immediate mode is different from the others, and indirect JMP is more like an instruction than an addressing mode
- Represents the number of potential extra cycles for each instruction, in addition to the minimum cycle count

As usual, the thing I'm most proud of is the citations and explanations - over 50% of the source file is comments! If you're learning about the 6502 and want something more verifiable than bare assertions on a random website, take a look!

Konilo #Forth 2024.4 is now complete & published at konilo.org.

This includes new implementations of the ilo computer in D, and Hare, as well as a much nicer Rust implementation from Matthew Keeter. It also includes a new port to Plan 9 from Jim Taylor and improvements to the standalone x86 port.

Otherwise, there have been many bug fixes, it's smaller & faster, includes more tools, and has had a lot of updates to the blocks, including the addition of an embedded hypertext documentation wiki.

The release notes: https://konilo.org/release/202404.txt

Download: https://konilo.org/release/konilo-202404.tar.gz or https://konilo.org/release/konilo-202404.zip

I've also updated konilo.sh, a shell script for downloading, running, & updating a Konilo system. This is useful for following the nightly snapshots. The README for this is at https://konilo.org/konilo-sh.txt and the script is at https://konilo.org/konilo.sh

Don't use anyone else's phone to call your people.

Don't let anyone else use your phone.

Ideally, don't have a phone. (Designate a video person for your group).

Keep only necessary ID (driver's license, insurance card)

No wallets. No cash.

Incredible research at BlackHat Asia today by Tong Liu and team from the Institute of Information Engineering, Chinese Academy of Sciences (在iie.ac.cn 的电子邮件经过验证)

A dozen+ RCEs on popular LLM framework libraries like LangChain and LlamaIndex - used in lots of chat-assisted apps including GitHub. These guys got a reverse shell in two prompts, and even managed to exploit SetUID for full root on the underlying VM!

The #AGI arms race is really just an exercise in setting product expectation.

If the expectation for #LLMs are that it must be trained on every last scrap of data available, using expensive GPUs, the pool of companies that can meet that expectation becomes small and elite.

Of course, they can't say outright that the goal is to create an AI oligopoly, so they use mission-driven narratives like "we must achieve Artificial General Intelligence for the betterment of humanity."
