RIP to the incomparable Sam Neill

How long has it been since you've seen the original "Jurassic Park"?

SAM NEILL The last time I watched it in its totality was sitting beside Princess Di at Leicester Square at the London opening.
On the other side of me was my son Tim - he was 11 and completely swept away by it, but about the time the T-Rex turns up, Tim started to fart. And the draft was drifting across me to royalty! I spent the whole film in a muck sweat, thinking, "Princess Di is being exposed to the horrors of a little boy's fart, but she's going to think it's me. I am going to be subliminally blamed for my son's crimes, and I don't think she'll talk to me afterwards." But she was well brought up and never mentioned it.
JEFF GOLDBLUM I love that story, Sam.
I've heard him tell that a couple of times, and it's just amazing the lengths that he will go to still blame the boy.

Hey @tailscale.com , in your recent wording changes to the legal agreements, you explicitly removed "can only be encrypted/decrypted by the Customer". Care to expand a bit more on this? Is this no longer the case? #privacy #endtoendencryption #encryption #Security

While everyone mocked #Microsoft for not knowing that "9" comes after "8" when they launched Windows 10, #OpenAI said "hold my beer" and launched "4.1" after "4.5". Must have been AI generated.

Hi, I'm the guy who used to oversee the federal government's agency IT telecommunications contracts. This is extremely bad. There is absolutely no need for this. Not only is it a huge security exposure, but the simplest explanation for this is that it is meant to be a security exposure.

Meta illegaly downloaded 80+ terabytes of books from LibGen, Anna's Archive, and Z-library to train their AI models. In 2010, Aaron Swartz downloaded only 70 GBs of articles from JSTOR (0.0875% of Meta). Faced $1 million in fine and 35 years in jail. Took his own life in 2013.

“Torrenting from a corporate laptop doesn’t feel right”: Meta emails unsealed

A photo of Aaron Swartz (1986-2013) when he was 19.

Last month, Meta admitted to torrenting a controversial large dataset known as LibGen, which includes tens of millions of pirated books. But details around the torrenting were murky until yesterday, when Meta's unredacted emails were made public for the first time. The new evidence showed that Meta torrented "at least 81.7 terabytes of data across multiple shadow libraries through the site Anna’s Archive, including at least 35.7 terabytes of data from Z-Library and LibGen," the authors' court filing said. And "Meta also previously torrented 80.6 terabytes of data from LibGen."

My team's intern just found a critical bug by shitposting in our codebase
Join
So our summer intern (who l'm 90% sure is a professional shitposter moonlighting as a dev) just saved our entire authentication service by being, well, an absolute agent of chaos.
Background: We have this legacy auth system that's been running since before TikTok existed.
No one touches it. It's documented in ancient Sanskrit and COBOL comments. The last guy who understood it fully left to become a yoga instructor in Peru.
Enter our intern. First week, he asks why our commit messages are so boring. Starts adding memes to his. Whatever, right? Then he begins leaving comments in the codebase like:
/ This function is older than me and probably pays taxes
// TODO: Ask if this while loop has health insurance
// Here lies Sarah's hopes and dreams (2019-2022), killed by this recursive call
The senior devs were split between horrified and amused. But here's where it gets good.
He's reading through the auth code (because "the commit messages here are too normal, sus") and adds this gem:
Il yo why this token validation looking kinda thic though
I/ fr fr no cap this base64 decode bussin
// wait... hold up... this ain't bussin at all
Turns out his Gen Z spider-sense wasn't just tingling for the memes. Man actually found a validation bypass that's been lurking in our code since Obama's first term. The kind of bug that makes security auditors wake up in cold sweats.
The best part? His Jira ticket title: "Auth be acting mad sus rn no cap frfr (Critical Security Issue)"
The worst part? We now have to explain to the CEO why "no cap frfr" appears in our Q3 security audit report.
The absolute kicker? Our senior security engineer's official code review comment: "bestie... you snapped with this find ngl"
I can't tell if this is the peak or rock bottom of our engineering culture. But I do know our intern's getting a return offer, if only because I need to see what he'll do to our GraphQL documentation.
