Cook, MD Cognitive Technologies Labratory University of Chicago Complex systems are intrinsically hazardous systems. All of the interesting systems (e.g. transportation, healthcare, power generation) are inherently and unavoidably hazardous by the own nature. The frequency of hazard exposure can sometimes be changed but the processes involved in the system are themselves intrinsically and irreducibly hazardous. It is the presence of these hazards that drives the creation of defenses against hazard that characterize these systems. ... Views of ‘cause’ limit the effectiveness of defenses against future events. Post-accident remedies for “human error” are usually predicated on obstructing activities that can “cause” accidents. These end-of-the-chain measures do little to reduce the likelihood of further accidents. In fact that likelihood of an identical accident is already extraordinarily low because the pattern of latent failures changes constantly. Instead of increasing safety, post-accident remedies usually increase the coupling and complexity of the system. This increases the potential number of latent failures and also makes the detection and blocking of accident trajectories more difficult. 2025-10-25T05:47:01Z {Patterns Emergence failure resilience reference best-of} What Happened to Apple's Legendary Attention to Detail? [https://blog.johnozbay.com/what-happened-to-apples-attention-to-detail.html] I accidentally upgraded to Tahoe (I didn't know it existed and thought I was moving to Sequoia and the UI design is all over the place, and it's constantly reminding me how bad it is. This excellent article takes what was an attention to detail that we took for granted (because tech is supposed to "just work"), and calls out just a handful of the failings that Apple's OS now ships with (including on iOS, that I thankfully don't have to suffer). My fear, based on experience with bad Apple UI - (like the notifications that couldn't be quickly dismissed forcing us to click _EXACTLY_ in the right place, and with the "suitable" amount of delay) - is that it simply won't be fixed or even improved. /via venerable [Bruce Lawson](https://brucelawson.co.uk/) 2025-10-25T05:47:01Z {webdev ux design mac} 15 Go Subtleties You May Not Already Know [https://harrisoncramer.me/15-go-sublteties-you-may-not-already-know/] 2025-10-25T05:47:01Z {go} LLMs Can Get "Brain Rot"! [https://llm-brain-rot.github.io/] We propose and test the LLM Brain Rot Hypothesis: continual exposure to junk web text induces lasting cognitive decline in large language models (LLMs). To causally isolate data quality, we run controlled experiments on real Twitter/X corpora, constructing junk and reversely controlled datasets via two orthogonal operationalizations: M1 (engagement degree) and M2 (semantic quality), with matched token scale and training operations across conditions. Contrary to the control group, continual pre-training of 4 LLMs on the junk dataset causes non-trivial declines (Hedges' g>0.3) on reasoning, long-context understanding, safety, and inflating "dark traits" (e.g., psychopathy, narcissism). The gradual mixtures of junk and control datasets also yield dose-response cognition decay: for example, under M1, ARC-Challenge with Chain Of Thoughts drops 74.9 → 57.2 and RULER-CWE 84.4 → 52.3 as junk ratio rises from 0% to 100%. Error forensics reveal several key insights: Thought-skipping as the primary lesion: models increasingly truncate or skip reasoning chains, explaining most of the error growth. Partial but incomplete healing: scaling instruction tuning and clean data pre-training improve the declined cognition yet cannot restore baseline capability, suggesting persistent representational drift rather than format mismatch. Popularity as a better indicator: the popularity, a non-semantic metric, of a tweet is a better indicator of the Brain Rot effect than the length in M1. Together, the results provide significant, multi-perspective evidence that data quality is a causal driver of LLM capability decay, reframing curation for continual pretraining as a training-time safety problem and motivating routine "cognitive health checks" for deployed LLMs. 2025-10-25T05:47:01Z {XDN Research-into-AI} Cadence – Guitar Theory and Ear Training [https://cadenceguitar.com/] 2025-10-25T05:47:01Z {kids} A. Inventions – Jonathan Hoefler [https://jonathanhoefler.com/inventions] The objects in the Apocryphal Inventions series are technical chimeras, intentional misdirections coaxed from the generative AI platform Midjourney. Instead of iterating on the system’s early drafts to create ever more accurate renderings of real-world objects, creator Jonathan Hoefler subverted the system to refine and intensify its most intriguing misunderstandings, pushing the software to create beguiling, aestheticized nonsense. Some images have been retouched to make them more plausible; others have been left intact, appearing exactly as generated by the software. The accompanying descriptions, written by the author, offer fictitious backstories rooted in historical fact, which suggest how each of these inventions might have come to be. 2025-10-25T05:47:01Z {art fiction ai history design} How to Run 1:1s as an Engineering Manager - Off By One [https://justoffbyone.com/posts/how-to-run-11s/] 2025-10-25T05:47:01Z {programming management} Just use cURL [https://justuse.org/curl/] 2025-10-25T05:47:01Z Solved By Modern CSS: Section Layout [https://ishadeed.com/article/modern-css-section-layout/] 2025-10-25T05:47:01Z Agentic AI’s OODA Loop Problem - Schneier on Security [https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2025/10/agentic-ais-ooda-loop-problem.html] Agentic AI’s OODA Loop Problem "For example, an attacker might want AI agents to leak all the secret keys that the AI knows to the attacker, who might have a collector running in bulletproof hosting in a poorly regulated jurisdiction. They could plant coded instructions in easily scraped web content, waiting for the next AI training set to include it. Once that happens, they can activate the behavior through the front door: tricking AI agents (think a lowly chatbot or an analytics engine or a coding bot or anything in between) that are increasingly taking their own actions, in an OODA loop, using untrustworthy input from a third-party user. This compromise persists in the conversation history and cached responses, spreading to multiple future interactions and even to other AI agents. All this requires us to reconsider risks to the agentic AI OODA loop, from top to bottom." 2025-10-25T05:47:01Z {uncategorized ai integrity llm} Trump Administration's Arrival on Bluesky Highlights Growing Pains for Open Networks | TechPolicy.Press [https://www.techpolicy.press/trump-administrations-arrival-on-bluesky-highlights-growing-pains-for-open-networks/] 2025-10-25T05:47:01Z {internet analysis moderation tech 2025} First Shape Found That Can’t Pass Through Itself | Quanta Magazine [https://www.quantamagazine.org/first-shape-found-that-cant-pass-through-itself-20251024/] via Quanta Magazine https://bit.ly/3hiuSb1 2025-10-25T05:47:01Z {.opodzTwitter} Radios, how do they work? - lcamtuf’s thing [https://lcamtuf.substack.com/p/radios-how-do-they-work] 2025-10-25T05:47:01Z {radio how matt electronics} Scripts I wrote that I use all the time [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45670052] 2025-10-25T05:47:01Z {macos script} Measured AI | Note to Self [https://notetoself.studio/post/measured-ai/] "The extreme hype surrounding generative AI and technologies like LLMs has been exhausting over the last few years. Coupled with fear-based marketing against a backdrop of rolling layoffs—“if you’re not embracing AI you’ll be left behind”—it’s downright toxic. You can’t toss a rock on LinkedIn without hitting some thinkfluencer sharing the AI prompts and products that will solve all your problems, or celebrating the latest unicorn someone vibe-coded last week. It’s creepy to tell people they’ll lose their jobs if they don’t use AI. It’s weird to assume AI critics hate progress and are resisting some inevitable future. Luckily, most of my private conversations about AI with industry friends are neither weird nor creepy. Anil said it best: the majority of people who work with and in technology hold a moderate view of AI, as any other normal technology with valid use cases and real problems that need to be fixed. That’s where I land. Generative AI and LLMs shouldn’t be as over-hyped as they are, forced on users, trained on content without creators’ consent, or used for high-stakes tasks where hallucinations and poor design can put people’s lives and work in danger. Generative AI output both feels magical and futuristic and gives people in photos three hands with seven fingers. It’s remarkable and so very bad at the same time. I like to think of myself as measured about AI. As I’ve tried and been amazed and amused by various AI products, and read all the takes and formed my own opinions, I’ve kept my personal usage selective and defensive. Tech people don’t talk about measured AI enough (probably because they want to keep their job). So what does it look like to be neither an extreme AI cheerleader or a total doomsayer in practice? Your mileage may vary, but here’s what measured AI looks like for me. I expect my concerns and opinions will change over time, and maybe I’ll revisit this post in the future as my thinking evolves. To keep me honest, here’s where I am right now." ... "AI hallucinations have cost me time and effort on low-stakes research many times. That’s why I don’t rely on LLM output for high-stakes tasks. For example, if Google Maps directions were LLM-powered, I expect it would hallucinate a road that led directly into an ocean. I’m old enough to remember when students citing Wikipedia pages as factual sources in their college papers was controversial because anyone can edit Wikipedia. I think about AI chatbot output the same way: fine first-blush overview, but click on those citations, and fact-check everything." 2025-10-25T05:47:01Z {ginatrappani ai artificialintelligence 2025 llms generativeai thinking howwethink claude cofing writing howwewrite creativecommons anthropic companionship chatgpt openai andrejkarpathy wikipedia factchecking chatbots} Mesh2Motion [https://mesh2motion.org/] 2025-10-25T05:47:01Z The Game Theory of How Algorithms Can Drive Up Prices | Quanta Magazine [https://www.quantamagazine.org/the-game-theory-of-how-algorithms-can-drive-up-prices-20251022/] via Quanta Magazine https://bit.ly/3hiuSb1 2025-10-25T05:47:01Z {.opodzTwitter} User:Birdman86 - Wikimedia Commons [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Birdman86] 2025-10-25T05:47:01Z {hardware dieshots} Hack this Shopping Cart [https://www.begaydocrime.com/] 2025-10-25T05:47:01Z Cursed Knowledge | Immich [https://immich.app/cursed-knowledge] 2025-10-25T05:47:01Z The majority AI view [https://www.anildash.com/2025/10/17/the-majority-ai-view/] "Technologies like LLMs have utility, but the absurd way they've been over-hyped, the fact they're being forced on everyone, and the insistence on ignoring the many valid critiques about them make it very difficult to focus on legitimate uses where they might add value." 2025-10-25T05:47:01Z {artificial-intelligence} Designing Software for Things that Rot | Vadim Drobinin - iOS Expert [https://drobinin.com/posts/designing-software-for-things-that-rot/] 2025-10-25T05:47:01Z Google flags Immich sites as dangerous | Immich Blog [https://immich.app/blog/google-flags-immich-as-dangerous] 2025-10-25T05:47:01Z {degoogle} Today is when Amazon brain drain finally caught up with AWS [https://www.theregister.com/2025/10/20/aws_outage_amazon_brain_drain_corey_quinn/] column: When your best engineers log off for good, don’t be surprised when the cloud forgets how DNS works 2025-10-25T05:47:01Z modshim: A Python library for enhancing existing modules without modifying their source code - a clean alternative to forking, vendoring, and monkey-patching [https://github.com/joouha/modshim] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45604013 2025-10-25T05:47:01Z {python programming library opensource minimalism simplicity interesting} When is better to think without words? - by Henrik Karlsson [https://www.henrikkarlsson.xyz/p/wordless-thought] 2025-10-25T05:47:01Z {reading} The Quantum Echoes algorithm breakthrough | Google Blog [https://blog.google/technology/research/quantum-echoes-willow-verifiable-quantum-advantage/] 2025-10-25T05:47:01Z {quantumcomputing} OpenAI buys Sky, an AI interface for Mac [https://techcrunch.com/2025/10/23/openai-buys-sky-an-ai-interface-for-mac/] 2025-10-25T05:47:01Z {ai chatGPT Apple} Tab Roving • Niklas Gadermann [https://nik.digital/posts/tab-roving] 2025-10-25T05:47:01Z {#webdev focus keyboard} US axes website for reporting human rights abuses by US-armed foreign forces [https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cqx30vnwd4do] 2025-10-25T05:47:01Z Justin Pombrio [https://justinpombrio.net/2024/11/30/typst.html] 2025-10-25T05:47:01Z {typst md lang tut markip math book} Roc Camera [https://roc.camera/] 2025-10-25T05:47:01Z {photo shopping} Charlie Stross tries to predict the near future - assuming an ai fizzle.

Controversial dating safety apps, Tea and TeaOnHer, have been pulled from the Apple App Store. The apps’ removal was first spotted by the app store intelligence provider Appfigures, which told TechCrunch the two apps were removed from the App Store on Tuesday in all markets but remain live on Google Play. Reached for comment, Apple confirmed the apps’ removal, saying it removed Tea Dating Advice and TeaOnHer from the App Store because they failed to meet Apple’s requirements around content moderation and user privacy. The company also said it saw an excessive number of user complaints and negative reviews, which included complaints of minors’ personal information being posted in these apps. Apple communicated the issues to the developers of the apps, a representative said, but the complaints were not addressed. (Request for comment from the app developers has not yet been returned.) …Tea and TeaOnHer have generated a lot of headlines and interest since going viral earlier this year. Tea, which had quietly existed since 2023 before picking up steam in 2025, was pitched as a dating safety tool for women, somewhat similar to the “Are We Dating the Same Guy?” Facebook Groups. The app encouraged women to spill details about men, particularly those on dating apps. This included their personal information, Yelp-style reviews, and whether they’d dub them a “green flag” or “red flag.” Many men, however, didn’t appreciate the app’s invasion into their privacy and questioned whether sharing information like this could be considered defamation. After going viral and generating controversy, Tea suffered a data breach over the summer, with hackers gaining access to 72,000 images, including 3,000 selfies and photo IDs submitted for account verification, as well as 59,000 images from posts, comments, and direct messages.

It wasn't the breach that did for the apps, though; it was the lack of reporting and blocking and moderation, and sharing of personal information without permission. All breaches of Apple's App Store rules; so this is a perfectly legitimate removal. 2025-10-25T05:47:01Z {apple tea dating app removal} The Continual Learning Problem [https://jessylin.com/2025/10/20/continual-learning/] 2025-10-25T05:47:01Z {training llm} A single DNS race condition brought AWS to its knees [https://www.theregister.com/2025/10/23/amazon_outage_postmortem/] : Fault in DynamoDB system cascaded through AWS services, knocking major sites offline for hours 2025-10-25T05:47:01Z {aws} Unseeable prompt injections in screenshots: more vulnerabilities in Comet and other AI browsers | Brave [https://brave.com/blog/unseeable-prompt-injections/] 2025-10-25T05:47:01Z Advanced Self-Aware ed(1) [https://aartaka.me/advanc-ed.html] 2025-10-25T05:47:01Z Introducing ChatGPT Atlas | OpenAI [https://openai.com/index/introducing-chatgpt-atlas/] Today we’re introducing ChatGPT Atlas, a new web browser built with ChatGPT at its core.

Cognitively this feels just like thinking hard to remember something.I can see a future being built out where I have a smart watch that gives me a sense of direction, a smart ring for biofeedback, smart earphones and glasses for perfect recall and anticipation… Andy Clark’s Natural Born Cyborgs (2003) lays out why this is perfectly impedance-matched to how our brains work already.Long term? I’ve joked before about a transcranial magnetic stimulation helmet that would walk my legs to work and this is the cyborg direction of travel: nootropics, CRISPR gene therapy, body modification and slicing open your fingertips to insert magnets for an electric field sixth sense.But you can see the cyborg paradigm in action with hardware startups today trying to make the AI-native form factor of the future: lapel pins, lanyards, rings, Neuralink and other brain-computer interfaces…When tech companies think about the Third Device - the mythical device that comes after the PC and the smartphone - this is what they reach for: the future of the personal computer is to turn the person into the computer.RoomsContrast augmented users with augmented environments. Notably:• Dynamicland (2018) – Bret Victor’s vision of "a computer that is a place," a programmable room• Put-that-there (1980) – MIT research into room-scale, multimodal (voice and gesture) conversational computing• Project Cybersyn (1971) – Stafford Beer’s room-sized cybernetic brain for the economy of Chile• SAGE (as previously discussed) (1958–) – the pinnacle of computing before the PC, group computing out of the Cold War.And innumerable other HCI projects…The vision of room-scale computing has always had factions.Is it ubiquitous computing (ubicomp), in which computing power is embedded in everything around us, culminating in smart dust? It is ambient computing, which also supposes that computing will be invisible? Or calm computing, which is more of a design stance that computing must mesh appropriately with our cognitive systems instead of chasing attention?So there’s no good word for this paradigm, which is why I call it simply room-scale, which is the scale that I can act as a user.I would put smart speakers in the room-scale/augmented environments bucket: Amazon Alexa, Google Home, all the various smart home systems like Matter, and really the whole internet of things movement – ultimately it’s a Star Trek Holodeck/"Computer…" way of seeing the future of computer interaction.And robotics too. Roomba, humanoid robots that do our washing up, and tabletop paper robots that act as avatars for your mates, all part of this room-scale paradigm.***Rather than “cyborg”, I like sci-fi author Becky Chambers’ concept of somaforming (as previously discussed), the same concept but gentler.Somaforming vs terraforming, changing ourselves to adapt to a new environment, or changing the environment to adapt to us.***Both cyborgs and rooms are decent North Stars for our collective computing futures, you know?Both can be done in good ways and ugly ways. Both can make equal use of AI.Personally I’m more interested in room-scale computing and where that goes. Multi-actor and multi-modal. We live in the real world and together with other people, that’s where computing should be too. Computers you can walk into… and walk away from.So it’s an interesting question: while everyone else is building glasses, AR, and AI-enabled cyborg prosthetics that hang round your neck, what should we build irl, for the rooms where we live and work? What are the core enabling technologies?It has been overlooked I think." 2025-10-25T05:47:01Z {mattwebb computers computing syborgs rooms andyclark sage sybersyn staffordbeer put-that-there dynamicland bretvictor place placemaking ubicomp golodeck startrek beckychambers somaforming} Importing vs fetching JSON - JakeArchibald.com [https://jakearchibald.com/2025/importing-vs-fetching-json/] 2025-10-25T05:47:01Z {webdev} The CSS Reset, again | pawelgrzybek.com [https://pawelgrzybek.com/the-css-reset-again/] 2025-10-25T05:47:01Z When Models Manipulate Manifolds: The Geometry of a Counting Task [https://transformer-circuits.pub/2025/linebreaks/index.html] 2025-10-25T05:47:01Z {p1 intepblogs interpretability} Forth: The programming language that writes itself [https://ratfactor.com/forth/the_programming_language_that_writes_itself.html] 2025-10-25T05:47:01Z {forth} Just Use It [https://justuse.org/] 2025-10-25T05:47:01Z {recommendation software} Ambient Animations In Web Design: Practical Applications (Part 2) — Smashing Magazine [https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2025/10/ambient-animations-web-design-practical-applications-part2/] via Smashing Magazine https://bit.ly/3gZh8S2 2025-10-25T05:47:01Z {.commentsenseTwitter} Meet Mico, Microsoft’s AI version of Clippy | The Verge [https://www.theverge.com/news/804106/microsoft-mico-copilot-ai-assistant-clippy] via The Verge https://ift.tt/SL1XOaR 2025-10-25T05:47:01Z Rivian’s Also e-bike is like nothing you’ve ever seen before | The Verge [https://www.theverge.com/news/804157/rivian-tm-b-electric-bike-price-specs-helmet-quad] via The Verge https://ift.tt/rv9IyzD 2025-10-25T05:47:01Z Linux Capabilities Revisited | dfir.ch [https://dfir.ch/posts/linux_capabilities/] For example, a process may need permission to bind to privileged ports but not require any other elevated permissions 2025-10-25T05:47:01Z {setcap linux kernel capabilities} Tinder face verification starts today as dating apps battle scambots [https://9to5mac.com/2025/10/23/mandatory-tinder-face-verification-starts-today-as-dating-apps-battle-scambots/] via 9to5Mac https://9to5mac.com/ 2025-10-25T05:47:01Z GitHub - deta/surf: AI Notebooks [https://github.com/deta/surf] 2025-10-25T05:47:01Z {ai browser} Don’t Understand Bitcoin?

The US government has accused a former executive at defense contractor L3Harris of stealing trade secrets and selling them to a buyer in Russia, according to court documents seen by TechCrunch.  On October 14, the Department of Justice accused Peter Williams of stealing eight trade secrets from two unnamed companies. The DOJ made the allegation in a “criminal information” document, which, like an indictment, represents a formal accusation of alleged crimes.   The document does not specify Williams’ relationship with the two companies or the types of trade secrets, nor does it name the alleged Russian buyer.  TechCrunch has confirmed that the Williams mentioned in the document, which does not specify where he worked, is the former general manager at Trenchant, a division of L3Harris that develops hacking and surveillance tools for Western governments, including the United States. Williams became Trenchant’s general manager on October 23, 2024, and he worked at Trenchant until August 21, 2025, per UK business records. Williams, a 39-year-old Australian citizen, resided in Washington DC, according to the court document. Four former Trenchant employees had previously told TechCrunch that Williams, who was known inside the company as “Doogie,” had been arrested.  

Does the company name "Trenchant" sound familiar? Well done - that's the company from which a developer working on finding zero-day vulnerabilities was recently warned that he was being targeted with government spyware.
