Day 2 of my M5 Max PROLED XDR @OmarchyMac bring up.
Done!?
GPU works, touchscreen works! WiFi works. ANE powers up.
Some polish left but it’s fully usable. Info for your agent to replicate this before it goes live in the Omarchy M installer: joshuawarren.com/blog/omarch…
The first photo is of the touchscreen calibration process my agent created that helped us determine that the sensor is laid out upside down so taps were landing mirrored!

They want to ban open source, ban chip experts, centralize power for Superintelligence.
This is quite the coup.

Don’t show me something you did with one prompt. Show me something you did over three months with 1000 prompts, five resets, and a dozen all nighters.

I don’t know why this needs to be re-iterated: if you are lucky and having a M5 Max / M5 Ultra, don’t use Qwen 3.8 27B, you will be much happier with a low-bit DeepSeek 4.1 Flash 1017. A good 2-bit quant for that model is just so much better than 27B dense.

I really had to submit financial statements proving I'm an accredited investor to invest in farmland because it's considered "risky", but apparently yeeting all your money into a GPU rental company meme stock run by a doomsday cult is fine 🙃

Telegram shipped a "sandbox" for HTML widgets in messages. It's an in-process QuickJS (C) interpreter on a thread...
No fork, no isolatedProcess, no seccomp anywhere in the tree, so any QuickJS exploit is enough to gain full control with whatever privileges the Telegram client is running as without the need for any separate sandbox escape
The bug is a UaF in the interpreter, from standard JS:
```js
class D { [Symbol.dispose]() {} }
const d = new D();
let leak;
class C { static {
for (await using x of [d, d]) leak = () => x;
}}
// ... run anything ...
leak() // reads a freed frame
```
The fix for this particular vuln is still just in the master branch, and considering the number of vulnerabilities QuickJS has had in the past, this vuln will surely not be the last...

got a random refund email today from a customer who accidentally bought a clone of one of my products lol
pointed my AI agent at their domain and let it run full OSINT + takedowns in the terminal:
- pulled WHOIS (Spaceship) + Cloudflare DNS across 10 linked domains
- unmasked their real KYC name + Chinese ad agency via Google Ads Transparency
- traced JS bundles + public events back to the dev's personal GitHub
- decoded their live Stripe merchant IDs
- auto-filled & submitted Stripe, Google Ads, Google Sign-In OAuth, Cloudflare & registrar abuse reports in Chrome
wild what one guy with an agent can do in 20 mins now tbh
cloning brands in 2026 is such a BAD IDEA lol

i gave this repo to fable 5.2 (via my claude agent fig) and told him to have fun making something interesting...
def feels interesting to me (stay for the turn)
i am continually astounded at the creative choices these advanced models are making

the most import skill in 2026 is still being able to tell your agents "wtf is this crap, no, not like this"
if you stop doing that, you're basically fucked, despite what some devfluencers would like you to think.

More distillation by Chinese models
Breaking news from @ianmking: Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang admits to extramarital affair and the company board is now investigating him being targeted by a Chinese espionage plot. He remains CEO for now. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Baby steps.
As the world’s fertilizer supply continues to collapse, this will be a more critical point for people. They’re missing that point now, but I think they’ll understand it (and @wwwLiveFarm) later — for whatever reason, there’s always latency.
Greetings from the future! 👋
We’re looking to stack clusters of H100s/H200s (and B300s?) after we’ve finished building out our own fiber, cellular, and microwave backhauls on top of everything else we’re doing.
On that note, the lightning arrest equipment arrived and I pick it up this coming week and then I start digging trenches through solid rock for that.

Cursor’s privacy policy just dropped its "no sale or targeted advertising" commitment.

People keep asking me how GPT-6 cyber is better. Well let’s say previous models would take project zero postings and then try to apply those techniques (in a clumsy way). GPT-6 cyber just comes up with techniques I have not seen discussed publicly before.
RT @johnennis: I don’t really understand why people don’t realize that news cycles are basically marketing campaigns
Yes, some things actu…
