Insaneeee 🤯🤯
Binance's initial investigation suggests that the security incident may involve a compromised DevOps engineer’s laptop, which allowed an attacker to gain access to a service container and submit unauthorized withdrawal transactions. We have found no evidence of any wallet private key leak. We will share a detailed technical post-mortem once the investigation is complete and the facts are fully verified.
The estimated total impact sits at around $6.3B. We have worked with blockchain partners to freeze affected assets, with ~$3 billion frozen on-chain so far.
Binance will cover all losses from the SAFU fund and the company’s funds. User funds are safe. We will also publish an updated Proof of Reserves once the remediation is complete.
As an immediate precaution, Binance has:
- temporarily suspended deposits and withdrawals while security checks are completed;
- revoked the affected address authorisation;
- engaged law enforcement and blockchain intelligence partners to trace and recover funds.
Our teams are working around the clock to resolve this issue safely and thoroughly. We are working closely with our law enforcement partners to confirm the identity of these criminals and bring them to justice.
Please rely only on official Binance channels for updates. Please feel free to contact Binance Customer Support if you have any further questions.

Agreed!!
This messes with my mind ALL THE TIME
When I do stuff with AI I am an *expert* in (eg coding on my project I know well, or doing research in an area I am very familiar with) I spot problems/errors/the model BS'ing me immediately. No big deal, I have it correct or start again
BUT when I'm not an expert in an area, I find that I trust it, and then later learn it does stupid stuff. Like a case when I asked 3x AI models to give feedback on a legal case (that I also paid a lawyer for, but lawyer was slow). All 3x models confidently told me X, lawyer then told me Y, and lawyer was right

So... In the last few days I have had my agents write:
1. A word processing app in which I will write future books. It replaces Scrivener.
2. A script writing app in which I will write future video scripts. It replaces FinalDraft.
3. Crapper, a tool that measures and records CRAP statistics for projects. The tool handles many different languages, and adding new ones is easy.
4. Mutator, a tool that runs mutation tests and records the results. The tool handles many different languages and adding new ones is easy.
5. Dryer, a tool that runs duplication analysis on a project. The tools handles many different language and adding new ones is easy.
6. UML-Viewer, a tool that displays the structure of a project in a UMLish diagram that shows modules and dependencies and highlights dependency cycles. Clicking on a module displays it's contents; which may be deeper UML diagrams or, at the leaves, code. The tools color codes the modules to reflect their CRAP and Mutation scores, and as you drill down you can see those scores for each module and function. The tool understands many different languages, and adding new languages is easy.
I recon that, last year, this would have been well over a man-year of effort.
All these tools are in github.com/unclebob. I advise you not to use them directly. Instead, point your agents at them and use them as templates to build the tools that are customized to your needs. The licenses are all BSD Zero, meaning that there are no strings. Do what you like.
Damn harsh but true
Build in public was always about marketing. Sometimes you’d be sharing lessons because you genuinely want other indiehackers to succeed, but that’s from an era where there was a non verbal agreement to not overlap projects with someone else, and you have X months of a technical head start anyway.
But the sharing ultimately led to benefits. More people checking out your site. More WOM. Maybe even some direct signups from X or wherever you’re sharing.
That era is dead now. There’s no tech head start anymore and the non verbal agreement has evaporated. It’s every man woman and chihuahua for themselves. There’s also so much software that nobody cares anymore. I could launch something today that would be revolutionary 2 years ago, that today nobody would bat an eye at. It’s all within reach of anyone with a max subscription.
RIP building in public. Let’s hope we find something to replace it.
But I think the game now is: can you find a space not saturated with devs where you can provide value with tech, can you shut up about it, and can you sell the solution to non technical buyers.
Long enough to make generational wealth before AGI turns us all back into fishermen and rice farmers.
Godspeed my fellow meat proxies.

What’s going on here 😂
Jacob is correct here—we really do earnestly believe AI could kill all humans! I personally think it is >10% within the next decade. I believe Anthropic is trying its best, but we do not yet have a plan to solve alignment for superintelligence and are not clearly on track to.

I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.
Maybe I need to visit 🤔🤔
Walked past the Corgi Cafe in London, decided to go inside. Had high expectations given all the buzz… reality a bit more sober.
It’s packed with people building / working (as expected) which is great. But there are no branded drinks (thought these are global? They’re not). Else it’s a cafe (not unusual), open 24/7 (very unusual and smart)

I’m here for this

I feel AI agents are involved somehow 😅
🚨 BREAKING: The Department for Education has been hacked
Half a million pieces of sensitive data have been stolen

Interesting take, I do agree, if you are using AI agents don’t blindly let them let loose put constraints. Whatever you do to get the most done do that 👊🏽
I’m significantly older than you. I started coding in the late 60s. My current strategy is to not read any of the code written by my agents. That’s the only way I can take advantage of their productivity. What I do instead is to surround the agents with extreme constraints. Unit tests, gherkin tests, QA procedures, quality metrics, mutation testing, test coverage, and a plethora of others. In the end, I have very high confidence in the code they produce because they’ve had to run the gauntlet of all of my constraints and tests.
