An incredibly awful security vulnerability just got revealed in MongoDB. So much that it got named after HeartBleed. MongoBleed is a vulnerability affecting all MongoDB versions from 2017 to... today. The exploit is simple. It's a buffer over read bug due to compression.

AI has dramatically accelerated how software is written. But speed was never the real bottleneck. Despite LLMs, The Mythical Man-Month is still surprisingly relevant. Not because of how code is produced, but because of what actually slows software down: coordination, shared

For the first time, scientists have reversed advanced Alzheimer’s disease in mice - fully restoring memory and repairing brain damage by targeting the brain’s energy supply.

Who’s excited for this one?

After Expedition 33's success, Split Fiction's Josef Fares warns publishers not to "only do" double-A: "It's important not to get stuck in ideas, like double-A is a new thing, or indie is a new thing, or 'blah, blah, blah' is a new thing. We need the diversity. I hope that

In my experience LLMs are bad for code optimization. When I am using LLMs, I let the LLM write the boilerplate code and then I rewrite the perf critical parts such as inner loops. You have to understand performance to instruct LLM to write performant code for you. Super strict

'Turns out having your game be free on Epic is great advertising for Steam sales': New Blood chief says Blood West sold 'like 200% more' the day it was a freebie on EGS pcgamer.com/gaming-industr…

A lot of people are feeling this way, and it really is because their identity is tried to tools and process, and not to the outcomes. I was never a good programmer. I failed my CS courses multiple times & ultimately got the bare minimum passing grade. I don't do software design

Fun fact: There's an MMO game on Steam with over 100,000 purchases that, if played, can allow any other player in the game world to gain remote access to your computer. The devs are aware of the vulnerability and actively trying to hide it. Steam was notified and did nothing.

AI can make work faster, but a fear is that relying on it may make it harder to learn new skills on the job. We ran an experiment with software engineers to learn more. Coding with AI led to a decrease in mastery—but this depended on how people used it. anthropic.com/research/AI-as…

Genie is definitely doing something fancy. But if we look at it from the perspective of generating games, this path seems close, yet it’s actually very far. Games are fundamentally different from video, and there are a few hard hurdles you can’t avoid. 1. Long term consistency

Weird comment from Oracle out of the blue about OpenAI financial strength. Vibes: “ "Bear Stearns' balance sheet, liquidity, and capital remain strong." Alan Schwartz ~ March 12, 2008 CNBC.

.Thomas Massie and I forced last night the DOJ to disclose the identities of 6 men: Salvatore Nuara, Zurab Mikeladze, Leonic Leonov, Nicola Caputo, Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem, and billionaire businessman Leslie Wexner. I share details of what more we learned to hold the

OK. So to get this straight.... Ashes of Creation former CEO, Steven Sharif, bankrupted the company on purpose after 10 years having not put a SINGLE DOLLAR into his company. AoC was spending $2.5M PER MONTH in burn in 2025, and $1M PER YEAR was salaries to himself and his

Microsoft Research and Salesforce analyzed 200,000+ AI conversations and found something the entire industry already suspected but nobody would say out loud. every major model gets dramatically worse the longer you talk to it. GPT-4, Claude, Gemini, Llama. all of them. no

Millions of files related to Jeffrey Epstein suggest the existence of a 'global criminal enterprise' that carried out acts meeting the legal threshold of crimes against humanity, a panel of independent experts appointed by the UN Human Rights Council says reut.rs/3OnDpPM

The math on this project should mass-humble every AI lab on the planet. 1 cubic millimeter. One-millionth of a human brain. Harvard and Google spent 10 years mapping it. The imaging alone took 326 days. They sliced the tissue into 5,000 wafers each 30 nanometers thick, ran them

amazon's internal A.I. coding assistant decided the engineers' existing code was inadequate so the bot deleted it to start from scratch that resulted in taking down a part of AWS for 13 hours and was not the first time it had happened incredible ft.com/content/00c282…
