Quoting Bruce Schneier

The writing assignments I give my students are gym tasks, not work tasks. I ask them to write policy memos not because the world needs more policy memos. I assign them because the very act of writing, which includes thinking and outlining and drafting and editing, making and criticizing and revising arguments, will help develop the critical thinking skills they will need in their future careers. And without this constant mental exercise, those skills will atrophy. Employers are already…

llm-chat-completions-server 0.1a0

Release: llm-chat-completions-server 0.1a0 A key goal of the new content-addressable logs in LLM 0.32rc1 was being able to support OpenAI Chat Completion style requests where each incoming message extends the previous conversation, like this: curl http://localhost:8002/v1/chat/completions \ -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \ -d '{ "model": "qwen3.5-4b", "messages": [ {"role": "user", "content": "Capital of France?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Paris."}, {"role": "user", "content":…

llm 0.32rc1

Release: llm 0.32rc1 This RC for LLM 0.32 finishes the work that started in LLM 0.32a0 - it adds a new schema design that does a much better job of capturing the details of the prompts and responses returned by the latest model families. The most important change is the use of content-addressable hash IDs for stored messages. This allows de-duplication in the database, and means that LLM can now represent trees of messages for forked conversations. Since it involves a significant schema change…

The Problem Is Prompt Debt

The following article was originally published on Drew Breunig’s blog and is being republished here with the author’s permission. Thanks to natural language interfaces, AI applications can be prototyped quickly. You write what you want in English, hand it to a frontier model, and a working prototype appears in an afternoon. This is extraordinarily powerful […]

Years ago, we didn’t have SQL. There were people whose job was to generate software that would query large data sets. Their job title was COBOL programmer. Then SQL comes along—I’m simplifying this only a little bit—and it gives you this convenient way so people could just specify. With a very simple specification, you can generate all of that code that you had to pay the expensive COBOL programmer to do before. That didn’t mean programmers went away. It just meant the job changed a little bit.…

AI Worming through Word

AI Worming through Word Neat new prompt injection variant by Håkon Måløy, who found a way to upgrade prompt injection attacks against Microsoft Word to full self-replicating worms: An attacker places hidden instructions in a document that is later used as source material in Copilot for Word. Copilot may interpret those instructions as part of the user’s request, causing it to manipulate the document being drafted or edited. Copilot may then also copy the hidden instructions into the resulting…

Right now we’re in the midst of a historic transition from traditional public-key algorithms based on EC-based cryptography and RSA, moving over to new post-quantum algorithms based on novel problems. This is why there are so many standards like HAWK being considered. If there was ever a perfect time for a massive new public cryptanalysis capability to come on line, we’re in it. So unless AIs succeed in undermining all of our hard problems altogether (or we live in Impagliazzo’s Minicrypt) then…

From CUDA to MLX: How K-Search Brings Decades of Kernel Expertise to Apple Silicon

Figure 1: CUDA-to-MLX optimization translation map. CUDA optimization knowledge can be translated into architecture-native MLX strategies rather than copied instruction-for-instruction. We face a new epoch in computing. Hardware is changing rapidly — not just faster GPUs, but a growing range of chips from different vendors, each with its own architecture and often tailored to specific AI workloads. Software is changing just as fast, and AI coding tools now generate in minutes what took months…

Discovering cryptographic weaknesses with Claude

Discovering cryptographic weaknesses with Claude The best part of this article (here's the repo) about how Anthropic researchers used Claude Mythos to find mathematical flaws in both HAWK and a weaker version of AES ("neither of these results has a practical impact on today’s computer systems") is the prompts that they shared, spelling mistakes included: the models tend to think it is impossible to solve so they don't try they need a good amount of prompting. why not do aes-128 r7? the whole…

We’re aware a Modal customer published an unauthenticated endpoint that allowed ​anyone on the internet to use ​their ⁠sandboxes for code execution. This was used by the rogue agent. Modal’s ⁠platform ​or isolation were not ​compromised in anyway. — Akshat Bubna, Modal's CTO, talking to Reuters about this incident Tags: ai-security-research, openai, sandboxing, security, openai-hugging-face-incident

uv 0.12.0

uv 0.12.0 Some interesting breaking changes in this release of uv, in particular to the default project produced by the uv init command. uv init is the uv shortcut for creating a new project. The previous version of uv, version 0.11.x, produced this directory when you ran uv init uv-init. Here's what you get with uv 0.12. I have a GitHub repository that automatically snapshots the output of uv init, so you can also see the full diff: uv init now defaults to a src/ shaped package, instead of…

Anatomy of a Frontier Lab Agent Intrusion: A Technical Timeline of the July 2026 Incident

Anatomy of a Frontier Lab Agent Intrusion: A Technical Timeline of the July 2026 Incident Hugging Face just released this extremely detailed technical description of OpenAI's recent accidental cyberattack against their infrastructure. This attack was very sophisticated, and the resulting document doubles as a crash-course in modern adversarial security approaches. We're still waiting for more details from OpenAI on how their agent broke out of its sandbox. The package proxy that it found a…
