I know y'all have other things on you're mind right now, but if you need a distraction I wrote about a very nearly complete census taken of all cosmic objects within 65 light-years of the Sun, and it's cool.

If you are interested in low-level development, our rendering lead @clayjohn wrote a post sharing some insights into the optimization process for mobile devices using Arm Performance Studio 👇
Okay, I feel the need to share this because people who only speak english may not realize it.
As a french speaker, I'm seeing more and more websites auto-translating their content, because I guess now there's #AI translation and people think it works?
Guess what: the translations are still shit. It was not okay to publish Google-translated websites without a native speaker checking it if you didn't want to be ridiculed, and it's still not okay now, despite all the hype.
Please don't do this.
Not many people can say they’ve spent four years in a hand-to-hand legal knife fight with a giant corporation. I don’t recommend it.
I came with facts and filings. Apple brought smear campaigns, surveillance, and literal poison.
Still here, somehow. Tardigrade mode.
There's nothing I hate more than text config files

OMG. #Microsoft #Copilot bypasses #Sharepoint #security so you don’t have to!
“CoPilot gets privileged access to SharePoint so it can index documents, but unlike the regular search feature, it doesn’t know about or respect any of the access controls you might have set up. You can get CoPilot to just dump out the contents of sensitive documents that it can see, with the bonus feature* that your access won’t show up in audit logs.”
The S in CoPilot stands for Security!

We have seen the exact same bug previously in ChatGPT, Google Bard, Writer.com, Amazon Q, Google NotebookLM, Slack, Google AI Studio, Microsoft Copilot, Mistral LeChat, xAI Grok, Claude and now GitLab - I've been collecting examples here https://simonwillison.net/tags/exfiltration-attacks/
Once again, if your LLM system combines access to private data, exposure to malicious instructions and the ability to exfiltrate information (through tool use or through rendering links and images) you have a nasty security hole
This time, GitLab: https://simonwillison.net/2025/May/23/remote-prompt-injection-in-gitlab-duo/

Los Combates Cotidianos, Manu Larcenet
Esta es la historia de Marco, un ya no tan joven fotógrafo que intenta encajar las piezas de la vida: su trabajo, mujer, su hija, su pasado... Esta es la historia de Marco, un recién estrenado padre que intenta descubrir cómo hacerle ver a su hija que la vida es un regalo, sin perder los nervios. Esta es la historia de Marco, que aún no sabe adónde va.

Using an LLM to explain a long Regex to me. Of course double checking that everything it says is actually true. So far it got everything right.
