Prompt Injection is a top risk for use of LLMs, where untrusted data can cause a system to misbehave or leak data. We're hard at work on deterministic solutions to prevent or bound the risk, and just published a paper on our innovative information flow control approach: arxiv.org/pdf/2505.23643

I'm so proud of Zelensky right now. Someone standing up to the bully is a breath of fresh air after months of ignorant BS. And what comes next is scary. Genuinely scary

One thing I really miss about tech Twitter in the heyday of 2010-2020 is people sharing links to interesting blogposts (usually from people just writing down what they learned or what tech they were exploring).

Those blog posts must still be somewhere there, but increasingly hard to find.

If Trump is removing all environmental regulation, how about we undo the "memory safe languages" mandate? I mean, how is mandating "memory safe languages" compatible with freedom of speech anyhow?

Enough policing of speech! Raw pointers for raw milk, our youth needs to be hardened by strcpy.
