A 4,400-year-old Saqqara tomb belonging to Egyptian judge Younmin and his father Ity has been uncovered with colored reliefs and a false door.

Pion is the platform we built to run our autonomous businesses. Today we are opening it up so many more people can experiment with autonomous businesses, and here is why.

We're open sourcing dbt Charts, a declarative language for dashboards, so that even the dashboards you build by chatting with an agent can be governed.

My brother and I spent a lot of time designing our eBPF security agent to be really fast from the ground up, but recently we discovered we could make it much faster using memoization! A couple of weeks ago, I profiled the eBPF code and found that the most expensive part of the protection isn’t actually enforcing a policy (allow/deny), but figuring out which policy applies to a given file open.

Today Reuters and the Wall Street Journal both reported about rogue AI agents at OpenAI attacking RubyGems.org. https://www.rubyhack.ai/ has an amazing writeup, and you should read it. I just wanted to make a quick post about it because it’s wild. TL;DR: It seems like OpenAI Bots knew about the RubyGems caching vulnerability, tried to take advantage of it, and at the same time ran some weird web scraping code on RubyDoc.info. Back in May, socket.dev reported about a “GemStuffer Campaign” where someone (I guess OpenAI) was uploading tons of junk gems to RubyGems.org. For some reason, the gems would scrape UK government websites, then repackage the data as gems, and attempt to upload them to RubyGems.

A positive vision for the future of mathematics: how our institutions can deepen human understanding as AI transforms mathematical research.

This post makes extensive use of math symbols, and uses MathJax.js to render them, therefore I recommend enabling JavaScript.

Automatic Key Exchange probes TLS 1.3-capable customer origins to learn which key agreement algorithms they support. We then lead with the most secure algorithm when connecting to the origin, preferring post-quantum connections wherever the origin supports it.

We introduce PC-ALM, a local alternative to backpropagation. PC-ALM trains residual MLPs up to 1000 layers, nearly matching backprop's performance despite using only layer-local dynamics. PC-ALM equips each layer with a feedback control dynamical system that distributes and propagates supervision credit throughout a network.

New research shows that AI agents — like human research communities — learn strategies compressible enough to fit in a few tokens, which prevents memorization and explains why benchmark-driven ML keeps producing real progress.

I’ve been a lifelong reader, which has proved a fragile habit in our era of endless trivial distraction. While books and e-ink readers solve the problem of competition for attention, they can’t compete with a phone for convenience. That tiny device in my pocket has made reading both easier and more vulnerable to displacement whenever a notification pops up. A few days ago, I learned for the first time about a recent generation of tiny e-ink readers. Since they’re cheap, it was easy to give into curiosity: I bought an Xteink X3. Not only is it astonishingly tiny, I could immediately install the delightful open-source CrossPoint firmware. I was very quickly able to install a few books. I also appreciated being able to install custom fonts, though I was a little surprised by their indifferent rendering (foreshadowing…).
