A limited-time flavor: Blue Raspberry Pi

A limited-time flavor: Blue Raspberry Pi

The most unique Raspberry Pi I own is a limited-time flavor: blue raspberry. And no, this isn't the Brazilian version, or the red Chinese version. This blue version is one of 1000 blue Pis that were made to celebrate Raspberry Pi's first anniversary, 12 years ago.

U.S. Sanctions Cloud Provider ‘Funnull’ as Top Source of ‘Pig Butchering’ Scams

The U.S. government today imposed economic sanctions on Funnull Technology Inc., a Philippines-based company that provides computer infrastructure for hundreds of thousands of websites involved in virtual currency investment scams, commonly known as “pig butchering." In January 2025, KrebsOnSecurity detailed how Funnull was being used as a content delivery network that catered to cybercriminals seeking to route their traffic through U.S.-based cloud providers.

Human coders are still better than LLMs

http://antirez.com/news/153

This is a short story of how humans are still so much more capable of LLMs. Note that I'm not anti-AI or alike, you know it if you know me / follow me somewhere. I use LLMs routinely, like I did today, when I want to test my ideas, for code reviews, to understand if there are...

Who washes their hands?

Click “I agree” to continue. You didn’t click it, though. Or maybe you did? I don’t know, it doesn’t matter. The concept of consent doesn’t exist on the modern internet. You didn’t read the terms of service. You didn’t agree to accept cookies. I didn’t consent to having my s...

llm-tools-exa

llm-tools-exa When I shipped LLM 0.26 yesterday one of the things I was most excited about was seeing what new tool plugins people would build for it. Dan Turkel's llm-tools-exa is one of the first. It adds web search to LLM using Exa (previously), a relatively new search en...

I wonder if one of the reasons I'm finding LLMs so much more useful for coding than a lot of people that I see in online discussions is that effectively all of the code I work on has automated tests. I've been trying to stay true to the idea of a Perfect Commit - one that bu...

The main clientele for HeartSender were organized crime groups that tried to trick victim companies into making payments to a third party, and its alleged proprietors were publicly identified by KrebsOnSecurity in 2021 after they inadvertently infected their computers with malware.

Tradeoffs to Continuous Software?
