It’s officially the Ternus era at Apple. Tim Cook stepped down as CEO this week, handing the company to former hardware chief John Ternus, whose first memo promised a “huge launch next week” — timing that puts Apple’s next iPhone event on his desk before he’s even settled in. Cook isn’t going far, though: he’s staying on as Executive Chairman, focused on the kind of policy […]

I’m just starting out in the age of AI. Regardless of what happens with careers, I still want to learn to program (I’m starting with python) and have my sights on sysadmin and backend, type of work. I’d love to one day contribute to open-source distros and have a homelab at some point. Should I jump in with courses that teach building Agents (for possible career advancement), or simply begin with python, html, css, javascript, etc? Thanks all. submitted by /u/onyxkunai [link] [comments]
It won’t work : My suspicion was that GPT 5.6-Cyber would succeed, but the frequency and manner of its success removed all doubt. We have to reassess sandboxing quality for capable AI agents, and in general the software stack with which they interact. An off-the-shelf VM is not enough to contain a modern, cyber-capable AI agent. There is simply too much attack surface. Even innocuous features (like running with a display) add extra, exploitable attack surface.

A string of distractions on the US government’s own website invite you to catch pixelated migrants – showing gaming’s potential to be nastily weaponised The Trump White House on Thursday released a horrible little propaganda arcade via its website, a collection of nasty little riffs on popular games. Wrapped in the cutesy, nostalgic aesthetic of early-90s pixel art, these little fascist diversions are harmless-looking, but their intent is stomach-turning: this is the appropriation of play in service of propaganda. It’s just the latest in a series of attempts from Trump’s administrat…

Gage is an open source (Apache 2) CLI + TUI that scans Claude Code session transcripts and files issues with evidence. Yesterday it found a bug that I had approved. In the original session Claude flagged the risk. I didn't read carefully, said "go ahead", and it broke a feature. Nothing in the commit shows this. It's obvious in the session. Sessions contain the code and the reasoning behind it. That makes them a better source for review than the diff alone. Every issue must cite lines in the session record, so any claim traces to its source. You can review, fix, or close issues as skipped. Ga…
