Kuinoxon GitHub RCE Vulnerability: CVE-2026-3854 Breakdown

And how would that explain the way higher SLA ?

Why is there an eu github status then ? https://eu.githubstatus.com/uptime

Kuinoxon What Is in Road Flares?

They are not used in europe. The first time I saw one was in Japan last week.

We have portable triangle reflector in Europe that are in every truck or car.

Kuinoxon Philly courts will ban all smart eyeglasses starting next week

Never managed to make it work in background.

Kuinoxon China's 450kmph bullet train is the fastest ever built

The French TGV managed to reach 574km/h, so 300km/h is not an hard limit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EOdATLzRGHc

Kuinoxon Software 3.1? – AI Functions

It may seems that a terrible idea, but I think that's good to run quick scripts. It means you can delegate some uninteresting parts the AI is likely to succeed at.

For example, connecting to endpoints, etc... then the logic of your script can run.

Kuinoxon Americans are destroying Flock surveillance cameras

Were the middle class, but what people think of middle class today, doesn't apply to what it was back then.

> The bourgeoisie are a class of business owners, merchants and wealthy people, in general, which emerged in the Late Middle Ages, originally as a " middle class" between the peasantry and aristocracy. They are traditionally contrasted with the proletariat by their wealth, political power, and education, as well as their access to and control of cultural, social, and financial capital.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bourgeoisie

Today the meaning of bourgeoisie, still applies to "business owners, merchants and wealthy people", but is now seen as upper class.

Kuinoxon Americans are destroying Flock surveillance cameras

> The American and French revolutions originated in the middle classes.

I don't know about the american revolution, but that's wrong for the french revolution. I'll link to french wikipédia pages since they are far better on the subject. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89tats_g%C3%A9n%C3%A9raux_... Here we can see the first National Assembly was half nobility and clergy. The third estate was the other half.

https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiers_%C3%A9tat > Par ailleurs, les députés du tiers état aux états généraux représentaient essentiellement la bourgeoisie[2].

Which indicate that the majority of the third estate representative were bourgeois.

Permaculture is a contraction of permanent culture.

Kuinoxon Firefox 148 Launches with AI Kill Switch Feature and More Enhancements

It's been at least 10 years that google translate had hallucinations. Some translation simply change depending of a ponctuation mark. But peoples complain only now that they heard about AI.

Of course it's not perfect, but I agree that we didn't had a machine translation as good before.

Kuinoxon Firefox 148 Launches with AI Kill Switch Feature and More Enhancements

Are you using some weird extension ? Never had this on my pixel 6.

Yet translation was the main application for applied language machine learning.

Permaculture is the art of picking words that sounds logical and smart, make studies with n=1 to determine what is better, erect rules to follow based on that, and the communities that group around that. This is the same thing for computers.

Kuinoxon My smart sleep mask broadcasts users' brainwaves to an open MQTT broker

Here it's more Poe's law.

An MQTT Broker just mean server, that's MQTT terminology.

Kuinoxon Ex-GitHub CEO launches a new developer platform for AI agents

I'm interested to see if they will try to tackle the segregation of human vs AI code. The downside of agents is that they make too much changes to review, I prefer being able to track which changes I wrote or validated from the code the AI wrote.

Kuinoxon Why E cores make Apple silicon fast

It depends at which point in time and what you consider is the best gear.

Kuinoxon Why E cores make Apple silicon fast

It's bench score on single thread is 0.6% better than the Intel Core Ultra 9 285K, which have a lower TDP and was released 6 months before. Boths use the same lithography node. If you look at the chip by their lithography node, the Apple silicons are the same than the others...

Kuinoxon Why E cores make Apple silicon fast

You are seeing basically the lithography node used to make the CPU. Since Apple books more capacity than anyone else, they have their chip 5-6 months ahead of the market, you'll see chips with similar performance by core.

Kuinoxon Data centers in space makes no sense

> Building 3-5x more solar plants in the Arctic, would still be cheaper than travelling to space.

Well first you have to make solar panels works in the polar nights, in winter they have a few minutes of sun in the day at most.

Kuinoxon I built a 2x faster lexer, then discovered I/O was the real bottleneck

Tracing profiler can do exactly that, you don't need a dynamic lang.

Kuinoxon Greenpeace pilot brings heat pumps and solar to Ukrainian community

From greenwashing to ethic washing, they are sure good at washing.

Green Planet Energy, have been greenwashing fossil gas, especially russian gas, for years.

Kuinoxon Claude is good at assembling blocks, but still falls apart at creating them

> My guess is that Claude is trained to bias towards making minimal edits to solve problems.

I don't have the same feeling. I find that claude tends to produce wayyyyy too much code to solve a problem, compared to other LLMs.

Kuinoxon AI coding assistants are getting worse?

I think there will still be cheap inference, what will rise in costs will be frontier model subscriptions. This is the thing that is not profitable.

Kuinoxon AI coding assistants are getting worse?

I think it's more a problem of GPU capacity than costs. Training takes a lot of resources, inference too.

Kuinoxon AI coding assistants are getting worse?

It would mean that inference is not profitable. Calculating inference costs show it's profitable, or close to.
