[Stack Overflow] Without foundational governance, every AI deployment is a liability in disguise: Q&A with Jack Berkowitz of Securiti

Two new books have been announced that, embarrassingly for the authors and publishers, fail spectacularly to understand what the term "vibe coding" means.

The whole POINT of vibe coding is that you don't need to be a software engineer to do it.

AI의 의견이 무슨 진리이자 진실인 양 믿는 사람들 너무 싫다. 이게 올바르지도 않는 것은 둘째 치고 생각하는 것마저 기계에 의탁하는 게으른 사람 같다.

my colleague @DarkaMauldm has put out a new post on the @trailofbits blog on how we worked with @pypiPython Package Index's maintainers to slash PyPI test run times from ~160s to ~30s despite overall test counts growing by 17% (3900 to 4700+):

https://blog.trailofbits.com/2025/05/01/making-pypis-test-suite-81-faster/

this is some of my favorite kind of work: faster test suites means that developers run tests locally more often, and are less hesitant to add new tests (especially parametric ones). another great example of security and performance/reliability engineering dovetailing.

Another consideration: new installations should not allow open registrations by default. This should be a setting that the administrator needs to opt into, and this is a good place to inform them that open registration instances require moderation resources.

In Mastodon, we display a warning when the admin chooses this option. Mastodon also support requiring moderator/admin approval for new sign ups, which helps a lot in preventing automated registrations.

if you like what I do consider subscribing to me on ko-fi 🫶 i have two tiers, at the lower one you get access to sneak peeks on my projects, and at the higher tier you get a monthly sketch commission :3

The rewards will get more robust as my audience grows, as I'll be able to dedicate more time and effort to this.

法官裁定 Apple 高階主管宣誓作證時說謊，並將其移送刑事藐視法庭調查 https://www.thebignewsletter.com/p/judge-rules-apple-executive-lied

2025 年 5 月，負責審理 Epic Games 對 Apple 的反托拉斯案的加州北區聯邦法官 Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers 對 Apple 發出嚴厲譴責。自 2021 年起，Epic Games 在聯邦層級敗訴但在加州不公平競爭訴求上勝訴，法院命令 Apple 必須讓開發者能在 App Store 外與用戶溝通、並提供外部付款管道。第九巡迴上訴法院（Ninth Circuit）維持此禁制令（Injunction），美國最高法院（Supreme Court）在 2024 年初拒絕審理，原判決遂正式生效。Apple 在過去一年半以各種新收費、恐嚇畫面與特權抗辯等手段規避禁制令，並在法庭上隱瞞內部決策過程。Gonzalez Rogers 法官指出，財務副總裁 Alex Roman 在庭上「明目張膽地說謊」，並明白點名 CEO Tim Cook 無視建議，授權 CFO Luca Maestri 團隊採取最具壟斷性的作法；法官遂將此事移付加州北區美國地區檢察官（US Attorney for the Northern District of California）調查是否提起刑事蔑視法庭（criminal contempt）訴訟。

同時，法官當庭命令 Apple 必須立刻停止對開發者施加新手續費，並解除對外部購買的任何限制。根據《紐約時報》報導，App Store 的手續費占 Apple 近千億美元年服務營收的大部分。Apple 雖表示將遵從此裁定，並同步提出上訴，但若第九巡迴不發佈暫緩令，開發者明天就可立即選擇多種販售 app 方式，此舉將是首例真正在市場上落實的科技巨頭反托拉斯救濟。

在第二則好消息中，眾議院司法委員會主席、共和黨領袖 Jim Jordan 曾在稅改法案中暗中提出一項「把美國聯邦貿易委員會（FTC，Federal Trade Commission）競爭部門合併至美國司法部反托拉斯部門（DOJ Antitrust Division）且不帶入 FTC 禁止‘不公平競爭方法’權限」的議案，進而使 FTC 此項超越《雪曼法》（Sherman Act）與《克萊頓法》（Clayton Act）的執法能力形同廢止。此做法遭前執法人員、民主黨國會議員、右派民粹領袖 Steve Bannon（於 War Room 節目中公開譴責）及全國雜貨商協會等商界團體強烈反對，最終 Jordan 在委員會審查時悄然撤回相關條款，維持 FTC 對「不公平競爭方法」（unfair methods of competition）之執法權。

Hacker News 討論中，多數網友對法官將高層執行長捲入刑事蔑視調查表達驚訝與期待，有人認為儘管真正起訴的機率不高，一旦有任何高調成功的刑事案件，就能對企業高層形成極大威懾；也有人指出，法庭所揭露的內部文件證明 Apple 明知故犯，無論 Maestri 與 Roman 是否完整閱讀 180 頁裁決，都無法掩蓋其「有意違法」的事實。有評論引用 John Gruber 的整理，強調唯一遵守裁決的是前行銷長 Phillip Schiller，而其他高層選擇迴避；更有聲音呼籲應檢視 Apple 現有領導層是否已經不再適任，以免繼續損及消費者及開發者信任。

I would encourage every Fediverse software project to implement a “dead-man switch" on registrations: if nobody with moderator permissions has been active in the last week, then disable new account creation.

The Fediverse has a significant number of abandoned instances that are used by bad actors to create accounts and send spam.

We implemented this in Mastodon (https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/29318) and it has been highly effective.

Oh she mad, mad. Big mad.

Doesn’t mean rust is perfect! Heck it’s pretty easy to argue that rust does not live up to this ideal. And don’t even get me started on what a PITA it was to get the current website shipped, and how that was so toxic that’s why it’s remained effectively stale for years.

This is why Rust marketing was never “lol C++ sucks.” Yeah, sure, in some ways, Rust’s existence is a criticism of C++. But defining itself as this instead is way better

Xogot now has been in review for 156 hours (60+96) with no words from Apple.

According to some site I found, the average review time is one hour, with the maximum recorded for April of 3 days or 9 days in March.

On this retried review I am at day 4.

Of all of the people living on Earth, only 4% are US citizens.

Less than 3% of the world's population are white US citizens.

Less than 1.8% of the world's people are white US citizens that support fascist, racist, policies.

The point: A very small number of people can make life awful for everyone.

The problem isn't "white people." Most white people on Earth don't choose this.

The problem isn't "Americans." Most Americans don't choose this either.

The problem isn't even "racist nazis." Most countries on Earth aren't silly enough to let the racist nazis be in charge, and aren't this strong.

Chronologically, we are closer to 2060 than to 1960. But ideologically, racist Americans would rather bring 1960 back, than progress to 2060.🤦🏿‍♂️

This is embarrassing.

The other 98.2% of the people on Earth reject this vision like a cat throwing up a hairball: vigorously, with much noise and retching.

Racism was a useful tool for adding to a nation's wealth in the 1800s and prior.

In the 1900s it was net neutral.

From this point on and into the future, racism is a negative that leads to a nation's downfall and decline. Some of you want to argue with me about this even as the US economy spirals.

The US is barely holding on after 100 days of our re-invigorated racism. Picture where we would be after 100 years of this mess.

We have exactly two choices:

1) Grow up. Get our racism under control.

2) Hang on to our precious racism, and go down with the ship as the world leaves us behind.

If you're thinking "How dare you call racism a useful tool!" or "We should end racism because it's the right thing to do, not to stop national decline!"

1st, unclutch your pearls, then unclench your cheeks.

2nd, I don't know if you've been paying attention, but US folk don't just do the right thing.

그동안 하던 앱/웹 작업이 아닌 라이브러리 개발이라서 verification이 훨씬 쉬워서 본격적으로 에이전틱하게 쓸수있었다. 테스트코드도 자동으로 쭉쭉 뽑으면서 나는 거의 관리감독만 한다. 에이전틱하게 쓸때의 생산성이 최소 10배는 되는데, 반대로 1/10의 생산성을 가지는 어시스턴트 모드에서의 좋고나쁨이 뭐가 그리 중요할까.

In short: I think Rails fell from dominance in no small part because of DHH’s disdain for JavaScript. This directly led to key failures on both sociological and technical grounds. Hating technology blinds you to the good parts of tech you don’t personally care for.
