The Trump tariff formula is the bilateral trade deficit divided by US imports from the foreign country. perplexity.ai/search/for-eac… Via nitter.cf/orthonormalist/status/…
DID I CRACK IT? I think I figured out at least a chunk of the math. It's trade deficit divided by their exports. EU: exports 531.6, imports 333.4, deficit 198.2. 198.2/531.6 is 37, close to 39. Israel: exports 22.2, imports 14.8, deficit 7.4. 7.4/22.2 is 33.

Hello, Today it came to our attention @marcwrogers — old school nerd and head of security at DEFCON, was injured badly in a car accident. His neck is broken. Donate so this old head can get back to hacking gofundme.com/f/support-marc-…

Can you believe it's already been one year of generative AI bug bounties at Alphabet 🥳? Besides awarding over $50k for 140+ reports, we also received plenty of feedback (thanks 👏 !). Our blog post looks back and at where we're headed in the future. bughunters.google.com/blog/5…

Take number one: AI Risk is easy to solve. You simply need to unionize all of the companies working on LLMs and GenAI. (Bonus: Whether you feel this is a pro- or anti-union take is up to you.)

Partial to this one I got, which aged wonderfully... nitter.cf/tfortunato/status/1560…
My local Chinese place is apparently giving out slightly ominous fortune cookies sponsored by a fucking crypto exchange.

The beauty of Twitter character limits is that they make you a better writer. You learn to eliminate unnecessary words and be concise with your thoughts. Elon can't learn to be a better writer, it's impossible for him. So he's just gonna change the code.
Elon Musk announces that extending Twitter’s character limit from 280 to 1,000 is on his ‘to-do list.’

Born too stupid to do exploit dev. Born too lazy to do reverse engineering. Born with just enough brain cells to do static analysis.

The image in this tweet displays its own MD5 hash. You can download and hash it yourself, and it should still match - 1337e2ef42b9bee8de06a4d223a51337 I think this is the first PNG/MD5 hashquine.
Trick I want to see: a document in a conventional format (such as PDF) which mentions its own MD5 or SHA1 hash in the text and is right

Today I met with officials in Helsinki, which has had a ~75% drop in road deaths over the last thirty years (including recent years with no ped/cyclist deaths at all). Me: “How much of a role has IT played in reducing crashes?” City official: “Zero. We simply slowed down cars.” – at Helsinki, Finland

I made a HTML/JS/CSS polyglot to see if I could. Not strictly valid, but works in Chrome, and I expect it to work in Firefox/Safari. Hiding CSS directives from javascript by putting them in template literal is particularly satisfying. gist.github.com/ryancdotorg/…
