Holy shit. The KARR and SWDS "security" units - designed to help you prevent car theft - are vulnerable for absolute clowntown reasons. They bridge BLE to CAN. That means every function of your car is under their control.They protect that BLE interface with a key......which doesn't change between units......which is stored in plaintext in the mobile app.

Made an autonomous agent harness? Cool cool. No, I understand, that's everyone's dream right now. You rock on. I won't be fucking touching it until we solve prompt injection. Think about the problem, at its root, being that we interact with agents through chat. Wouldn't it be safer if we could find a way to structure that data, more so than just passing a structured object in chat? I don't have the skills for this. Too Deep #AI. But it's where you could make a HUGE imp...

Today in things I was wrong about and you should understand: #AI does use water in a wasteful way. What should happen: closed loop cooling. Take water, run it through heat exchangers, evaporate it, condense it, return it to the pool, run it through heat exchangers, evaporate it, repeat forever. There will be losses, but not the majority. What actually happens: no condensation step. Water comes in and is evaporated to the atmosphere. That's it. There are better options. We're not using...

Does anyone else have this when grocery shopping? An inability to buy ONE of anything? It always feels more comfortable to buy two, and it feels actively worrisome - for some reason - to buy one. Brains, man. Wonk.

Shipped a thing! https://triage.syn.horse My memory is terrible. Pathologically bad (https://syn.as/sdam). So I capture everything into Linear, in Triage by default.

1. I've re-learned one of the grounding techniques. 2. I feel like the employees feedback was taken into account during drafting of a new "recording of work meetings"-rules. 3. I've had an opportunity to test how I handle deescalating of relationships/friendships/connections. #ThreeGoodThings
