Been testing Claude Opus 4.7 for OSS security reviews. Mixed but promising. Finds a lot of patterns, but many end up being feature behavior, hardening prefs, or PHP warnings, not real vulns. The real ones are solid, but triage is on you. #OpenSource #Security #AI

After years of using @awscloud Aurora, we are moving back to dedicated hardware. MySQL K8s operators are great, storage is cheap, memory is cheap, cpu is cheap, I can run 5.7 as much as I like and no AI. I'll miss database cloning and instant read replicas. 1/n

The irony of the man who advocated political violence, is a victim of political violence.

And republicans want to gut the EPA!
🧵In 2020, I nearly died from mysterious industrial chemical exposure at my home. Later I discovered my employer was dumping toxic waste into our windows from their Skunkworks semiconductor fab next-door. I tipped off EPA, who raided them in 2023. EPA just sent me the report 💀⬇️

Current situation: 1. Bonds are trading like rate HIKES are coming 2. Gold is trading like rate CUTS are coming 3. Stocks are trading like the “soft landing” is gone 4. Oil prices are trading like the Fed avoided a recession 5. Housing prices are rising like interest rates are at 3% Nothing adds up here.

Dear @kpthrive, arbitrarily making an appointment based on a referral, on a Saturday morning, without bothering to consult with me if the time even works. Is just incompetent. #SomebodyIsCheckingABox #metrics

Young people voted for Biden in record numbers here’s the result so far: -Billions in student debt forgiveness -First gun safety bill in 30 years -Most Climate spending in US history -Office of gun violence prevention -Climate Corps -More More progress on all the above issues in three years than the past 30. This is not simply because Biden cares about young people it’s because our generation has real power. Biden knows he can’t win without the youth vote- especially young people of color. While he’s limited with a divided congress and a corrupt Supreme Court he’s managed to get more done than any president in decades with razor thin margins. It can be hard to imagine but Biden was once a young person he was elected to the senate when he was 29. He has over 50 years of experience. When voting what I want most is someone who can deliver and Biden has. This because he’s done a remarkable job integrating progressives into leadership. When we match the passion of the progressive movement with his experience it’s a recipe for success. When he was first elected I was very doubtful of how much could really happen I am happy to be proven wrong. If he was doing a bad job, as someone who does not shy away from publicly criticizing the party or president would tell you. But honestly Biden and especially his incredible staff and made it work. March for our lives and many others demanded action, protested and Biden has listened, we aren’t going away but i wanted to give credit where it is due.

Disney's mobile food ordering is down. Of course, you don't know this until you step out of line, thinking that mobile ordering would be easier. You only find out after you submit your order. The app stalls. #Disney100 #Disneyland

For some people the idea of compassion entails a complete disregard for or even a sacrifice of their own interests. This is not the case. In fact, we first of all have to have a wish to be happy ourselves – if we don’t love ourselves like that, how can we love others?

As a old Unix guy who grew up with grey beards I tend to be a leave it alone type of guy. But Seth makes a great point. If the word was fag, there would be no hesitation to rush the change across the ecosystem. How is this different?
Replying to @sethvargo
In the 1800s the term "fag" meant "a bundle of sticks". It's since been adapted to be an anit-homosexual slur. Words change. Their meanings change. It's our duty as humans to adapt our words to build more inclusive communities.
