"Ghost, WriteFreely, Micro.blog, Plume, WordPress, and Flipboard didn't all arrive at federation the same way. Some built it in from the first commit. Some bridged it onto a product that already existed. Federation decides how far the writing travels."

Signage alert: Herbie's Burgers on 1st Avenue

Signage for Herbie's Burgers is up at 109 First Ave., between Sixth and Seventh Streets. 

This is the brand's first Manhattan outpost, which got its start in Albany in 2021... with more locations opening across the Capital Region. There's also a Herbie's in Williamsburg now. 

Herbie's specializes in smash burgers, shoestring fries and milkshakes. They also offer vegan burgers and a vegan version of their chicken sandwich and tenders. 

No word on an opening date. 

The address was previously the rarely open Yumsem Eats, which sold Korean street food.

Cybersecurity and the Gap Between Skill and Ability

Last week, national security agencies from the Five Eyes—that’s the rich, English-language-speaking countries club—jointly released a statement warning of the increasing cyber risks of AI models: in particular, their ability to autonomously hack into systems and networks. The statement was more measured than some of the breathless headlines about it, and the advice they gave is pretty much the standard advice everyone gives—albeit with newfound urgency.

Internet risks are nothing new, and cyberattacks—both large and small—have been a significant issue since long before the current crop of generative AI models...
