Friendly reminder to always check your disks when renting a server. Just rented a dedicated server from the Hetzner auction and both drives were degraded. Sent in a support request to replace the drives (should be free). Let's see how long it takes!

I use @bot all the time. I have the Luka plan (IYKYK).
But I use all the majors.
For general prompting
1. Claude
2. Chatgpt
3. Gemini
For agentic work
Replace Gemini with @bot
They get trained and implement agents differently. I play them off of each other on anything important

I should clarify: this is over the internet, not via computer use.
If I turned off my laptop, I can still control my other machines via my Grok Bot on my phone.

I’m stuck in this loop:
“Use LLMs to find all the bugs”
Okay, which model?
“Model X found a bunch of bugs”
“Wait, another lab’s model found bugs that one missed.”
“Actually, a startup with a better harness found more using the same model.”
“Now another startup with a local model, a different harness, and talented researchers found bugs everyone else missed.”
“Hold on, the next frontier model just found another batch.”
All in the same attack surface that’s already been reviewed by everyone above.
this is one of my favorite projects as of late
will share plenty of agent sdk templates this week 🫡

Do any of those vibed Rust compiler/cargo optimizers actually work? Preferably something aiming for a "hot reload" experience with GPUI?
Anyone?

One week later, Pele is already in dozens of apps including @obsdmd 1.15 and @bot! Many improvements this week:
- Even faster rendering!
- Math resolver support: KaTeX, MathJax, Temml, etc
- Gradients in sankey diagrams
- Fewer edge crossings in diagrams with subgraphs
- Subscript, superscript and inline code in labels + text styles: kbd, underline, ins, cite and others
On a personal note, I am so grateful for all the love Pele received! I truly did not expect it.
My hope with Pele was to get a few bug reports ahead of the Obsidian release, so it's a wonderful feeling to see it adopted so quickly. I take this as a great honor and responsibility.
If you added Pele to your app or website, feel free to share it below 🌋

Real talk I know he’s joking but I hope everyone’s doing okay.
This industry is rough sometimes.
Make sure you go and literally touch grass, look at the sun (not directly you know what I mean)
I think we've discovered another critical vulnerability:
CVE-2026-BURNOUT: AppSec Professional Exhaustion
Severity: Critical (CVSS 10.0)
Description: A vulnerability affecting security professionals exposed to a continuous stream of critical RCEs, zero-days, emergency patches, and Friday afternoon disclosures.
Impact: Sleep deprivation, excessive caffeine consumption, and an inability to enjoy weekends.
Attack vector: Reading security advisories.
Affected versions: All AppSec professionals, regardless of experience.
Mitigation: No known patch. Air-gapping may delay the inevitable. Total system collapse remains a possibility. 🔥
