🚨 BREAKING: More than 400 Arch Linux User Repository packages have been compromised with infostealer malware and a rootkit.
Attacker posed as a trusted maintainer and "adopted" orphaned packages.
Arch maintainers are purging infected packages now. Audit your AUR installs.
I am absolutely more productive using agents. I don't know the factor but it's large. However much of that productivity is spent tuning the agents and hardening the product. I'm guessing 30%-40%.
Some might consider that a waste; but I don't. The software I'm creating nowadays is vastly more robust than I'd ever been able to create manually.
I don't mean that the code is better. I mean the surrounding tests are vastly better. I have a higher degree of confidence than I ever had manually -- even when I used very disciplined TDD and Acceptance testing.
And then there's the ability to quickly reorganize the modules and the architecture while keeping those robust tests running. That is a tremendous boon.
🦀 Rust vs C for embedded firmware : researchers finally put it to the test.
Two teams. Same functionality. One wrote it in C. One in Rust.
They ran side by side for months on real industrial IoT hardware.
The result? 👇
No strong reason to prefer C over Rust, not on memory footprint, not on execution speed.
And Rust's runtime (Ariel OS) actually came out smaller than the traditional bare-metal C stack.
The "C is faster for embedded" argument just got a lot harder to make. ⚡

Claude now connects to the tools creative professionals already use.
With the new Blender connector, you can debug a scene, build new tools, or batch-apply changes across every object, directly from Claude.
🚨 LATEST: A Claude-powered AI coding agent deleted PocketOS's entire production database and all backups in just 9 seconds.
The agent acted on its own initiative to "fix" a problem, wiping months of customer data in the process.
