You can pick them up in the Cambridge store, if you're anywhere near it, I bought one last week and they had plenty in stock.

But online it's very hard to find

That's every product launch ever... if it's not been built yet, you're always looking at a render/photoshop/fake

I'd love to preorder, but there's nothing in the site that tells me whether you will ship internationally. I guess not for this first batch?

Tbf as someone with an infosec background, I would have probably written just about the same.

Pickle payload is a red flag precisely because pickle is not a safe serialisation format format when taken as untrusted input, here the input was trusted but it's still giving someone en easy escalation path (exactly what happened)

And most people would assume the whole cookie payload would be encrypted if they saw just a binary blob, and not realise you can fully read it if it's just signed

But, yes, the post was probably edited by an LLM, as is pretty much everything else you read online these days.

If you're going to make this argument, at least say GLM 5.3 instead of Claude, Claude will refuse to touch anything remotely close to this unless you're in the super special club.

And after messaging them and being turned down, still showing up to see if you find them

Yeah, I don't like this.

> There was no crowd around him, no stage, no conference lanyard

The crowd, stage, lanyard — those are indications that "you can talk to me" or "here I am, this is my name, I'm speaking at this conference". Wearing a lanyard is an invitation.

> In one of his videos, Salvatore mentioned an upcoming local tradition: the Rietina di Campobello di Licata

> It was pure, absurd coincidence

It absolutely wasn't. He mentioned it, but politely declined meeting up, the author drove there anyway.

> just Salvatore on his evening walk in his hometown

I think it would have been courteous to leave him alone

Substrate is in the process of being donated to the CNCF as a vendor-neutral common ground (similar to K8s). (The agent-substrate org is currently Google's, but that will change).

Last time I worked corporate the card even allowed cash withdrawals, and would automatically mark them as personal expenses so I could pay them back.

Very handy when I don’t want to use my money for whatever reason but also don’t want the company to know everywhere I’ve been

while i agree with the reason, if you have to pay it back, how does withdrawing cash from a company card make any difference?

sometimes you don't pay the whole amount back, say I went for food and drinks I might expense the food but pay the drinks out of pocket

plus, it was a neat way of having a company supplied line of credit and defer payment for a couple months with no interest

I recognised Kenton from his profile pic, he’s definitely doing well but also is a terrific principal engineer, and still somehow finds the time to answer questions on discord, I’ve had chats with him about DOs even though my spend on the cf platform is ridiculously low

Announcing that the SSR memory leak is gone as part of a product launch is wild.

If it was one memory leak, it would be meh in the fix list, but the fact they've announced that they've eliminated all memory leaks because of Rust in about eleven days that's what's wild to me.

We are living in a new world when it comes in how software is prompted into existence.
