  The UB Annex and IFNDR Annex has landed in the C++ draft standard. You see them live here: https://eel.is/c++draft/ub And here: https://eel.is/c++draft/ifndr The annexes are now part of the process, so any additions or removals of UB or IFNDR cases will be added or removed from each annex as the paper lands. Read, learn, pass it on. #cplusplus

  "I discovered a large-scale malware distribution campaign on GitHub": https://orchidfiles.com/github-repositories-distributing-malware/ We know LLM poisoning is a real threat but we can see that the vendors we must rely on to defend us can't even muster the will to tackle obvious tier 1 security issues that researchers hand them details to on a platter. We are so toast, they are going to be completely useless against sophisticated actors really out to get you. #ai

  "Comprehension Debt - the hidden cost of AI generated code.": https://addyosmani.com/blog/comprehension-debt/ This piece identifies a lot of the problems but is way too optimistic that specification can solve a lot of these issues. The bottleneck is code review and you can not skimp on that. Specification can not replace code review that are not equivalent. #ai

  LOL https://www.forbes.com/sites/annatong/2026/03/05/cursor-goes-to-war-for-ai-coding-dominance/ No wonder they have to raise prices. Even if they could bring it down by an order of magnitude the cost makes no sense. #ai

  "What is ‘Ozempic personality,’ and why does it make life feel ‘meh’?": https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2026/04/16/ozempic-personality-glp1-side-effects/ This sounds like dystopian fiction to me.

  RE: https://infosec.exchange/@beyondmachines1/116387660407026805 This is really rubber ducking and it should serve as a reminder that there is a lot of history and a lot of writing about good software development practices that we are leaving on the floor b/c we have a bright new shiny object to play with. Big Balls of Mud should be something else people should remind themselves of.
