Famous Chollima Targets PHP Developers Through Compromised Packagist Package

Famous Chollima Targets PHP Developers Through Compromised Packagist Package

We identified malicious obfuscated JavaScript appended to tailwind.js in the Packagist development version dev-drewroberts/feature/test-case of the PHP package roberts/leads. The package itself is a legitimate Laravel package associated with a maintainer, Drew Roberts. The malicious code appears isolated to a specific development branch, drewroberts/feature/test-case, exposed through Packagist as an installable dev version. Socket AI Scanner flagged dev-drewroberts/feature/test-case as known…

The solution might be cancelling my AI subscription

The solution might be cancelling my AI subscription

The solution might be cancelling my AI subscription I find this post by David Wilson very relatable. David lists 16+ projects he's spun up with AI tooling, and concludes: I didn't mean to build most of these things. Usually the Claude session started with something like "write a quick script for X", and one hour later the result is not a quick script for X, nor in the usual case is my problem solved, whatever the original itch happened to be. On that last point, this technology is horrific for…

Rust Moves to Restrict LLM Use in Contributions After Months of Internal Debate

Rust Moves to Restrict LLM Use in Contributions After Months of Internal Debate

Rust has topped Stack Overflow's most-admired language survey for nine consecutive years. It's also become an increasingly attractive target for LLM-assisted development. The borrow checker and strict compiler that make Rust appealing for safety-critical systems also give LLMs an immediate feedback loop that other languages don't. The compiler catches errors the LLM introduces, which makes AI-assisted Rust development more reliable than in permissive languages where bad output can silently…

How we contain Claude across products

How we contain Claude across products

How we contain Claude across products A complaint I often have about sandboxing products is that they are rarely thoroughly documented, and in the absence of detailed documentation it's hard to know how much I can trust them. Anthropic just published a fantastic overview of how their various sandbox techniques work across Claude.ai, Claude Code, and Cowork. We constrain where and how an agent can act with process sandboxes, VMs, filesystem boundaries, and egress controls. The goal is to set a…

Running Python ASGI apps in the browser via Pyodide + a service worker

Running Python ASGI apps in the browser via Pyodide + a service worker

Research: Running Python ASGI apps in the browser via Pyodide + a service worker Datasette Lite is my version of Datasette that runs entirely in the browser using Pyodide in WebAssembly. When I first built it four years ago I used Web Workers and code that intercepts navigation operations and fetches the generated HTML by running the Python app. This worked, but had the disadvantage that any JavaScript in <script> tags would not be executed - breaking some Datasette functionality and a…

I Am Retiring from Tech to Live Offline

I Am Retiring from Tech to Live Offline

I Am Retiring from Tech to Live Offline I've seen a lot of posts on forums from people threatening to quit their careers over AI. This is not one of those: Chad Whitacre is taking concrete steps, starting with this typewritten, scanned letter I'm retiring from tech. Well, "retiring" is euphemistic. I'm stepping away from tech, and that includes Open Source. [...] AI was the last straw. Have you heard of that island off India where the indigenous population kills any outsiders fool-hardy enough…
