When we announce over 20 new #curl CVEs on October 14, you will learn that every single one of them were found by clever humans using harnesses powered by AI models. Every. Single. One. The holy trinity of modern vulnerability research.

OMG @danharrin.com I'm using Codex 5.6 Luna with LOW reasoning and it is a BEAST at building @filamentphp.com dashboards with Laravel Boost! 🫨 I'm on the OpenAI Plus plan and after an hour I have 82% left. Only needed to move up to Terra to get the main left-hand navigation replace!

I have been properly working on side-project with @laravel.com, Codex and @zed.dev - and it's honestly breathtaking how much you can do in a small space of time. As for limits, with the Laravel skills and clear guidance, I'm finding Luna is more than enough to produce excellent results.

I think it's fair to say that without massive cuts and perhaps three years of above average snow pack, the Colorado River basin is heading straight for collapse. A poor winter snow pack and another hot summer would make it hard to recover at all.

Lake Mead drops to it's lowest level for this time of the year. The question is, how much lower will it go this year with Powell reducing it's outflows?
A chart showing that Lake Mead's level is at 1040.86 feet above sea level, just below the level it was at on this day on the 4th August 2022 - 1040.88 feet above sea level.

@aiannucci.bsky.social Today Business Secretary Peter Kyle told Sky News that the prime minister is "reflecting on political realities". Does this imply "political surrealities"? Surely this is just the "current situation" wearing its best suit to a job interview?
