Sean Parker, who once taught the music industry what asking for forgiveness looks like, is now back with the labels' blessing and money.

Here's the joke nobody's laughing at yet: we spent a decade building SIEMs and EDRs to watch what humans do on endpoints, and we just handed a new class of non-human actor commit access, shell access, and package manager access without blinking. Context An AI coding agent (Claude Code, Codex, whatever your team has wired into CI or your local dev box) isn't a chatbot anymore. It reads files, runs commands, installs dependencies, opens PRs. That's a real attack surface, and it's a...

The Telstra outage of July 8, 2026 started with a routine repair. At 02:50 an engineer in Melbourne powered a timing chassis back on, and by breakfast Australia's biggest mobile network agreed it was November 2006. Nearly nine million customers lost calls, texts or data. The external investigation Telstra published on September 2 traces it to one GPS card and an NTP server design that let every other clock agree with it. If you run anything that trusts a clock, which is everything, this is the...

Language models stop learning on their training cutoff date. An agent that has to answer "what changed in this library last week?" or "what does this vendor charge today?" needs a tool that can search the live web and read the pages it finds. The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is the standard way to give it one. This guide connects an MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Claude Code, or anything else that speaks MCP) to AgentSearch web search and URL extraction. It takes about five minutes. ...

Yes, the title is correct. This is really what happened to me, and today I'm going to write about this unusual experience and how my career as a software engineer led me to this simple solution. 1. Preface & Context A few years ago - December 2022, to be more precise - I called a cab using a transportation service like Uber. It was around 10:00 p.m., not too early and not too late. Maybe it was because of the season, but getting a confirmation from the app was taking it's tim...

Most "cheapest search API" posts compare monthly plans, but agents are billed per call. This post compares the published per-call prices of web search and extraction APIs that developers use with AI agents. How we did this. We checked every price on October 2, 2026 on the vendor's own public pricing page, linked in each row. We only list a per-call price where the vendor states one. Plan-only and token-based pricing gets its own section, with the arithmetic shown. We don't compare resul...

The Paradox of AI in Software Development: Efficiency at the Cost of Quality Mechanisms Driving Software Quality Decline 1. AI-Driven Automated Code Generation Processes Impact: Increased frequency of bugs and issues in AI-generated code. Internal Process: AI tools generate code based on patterns and training data, often lacking context-specific nuances. This leads to syntactically correct but logically flawed code. Observable Effect: Higher bug density ...

Zero points, zero comments on HN, and yet this is probably a more honest signal of where cloud attacks are heading than half the AI security keynotes you'll sit through this year. Context Let's place this where it actually belongs. Ransomware crews automating their kill chains is not new. What's changed over the last decade is the target moved from on-prem file servers to cloud tenants, and the tooling moved from static scripts to something that can make decisions mid-attack. Jad...

Introduction: Reviving Doom in the Browser Recreating Doom entirely in JavaScript without relying on WebAssembly (WASM) is a bold technical endeavor. This project, built with a custom 3D engine , pushes the boundaries of what’s possible in browser-based gaming. By avoiding WASM, the developer sacrifices potential performance gains but maintains a pure JavaScript codebase, which simplifies debugging and cross-platform compatibility. However, this decision introduces a critical trade-of...

Part of the Quantum Computing: A Complete Learning Path series on malcolmlow.com . Following our earlier analyses of the single-qubit Deutsch Algorithm and Phase Kickback , this guide scales the formulation to multi-qubit registers with the Deutsch-Jozsa Algorithm . In 1985, David Deutsch proposed the first quantum algorithm that demonstrated a computational speedup over any classical counterpart, proving that quantum mechanics could evaluate a global property of a function faster th...

Kaggle Benchmarking Challenge. Previously: Day 0, the benchmark · Day 1, most of my bugs looked like model behaviour · Day 2, the model I want is the one that's boring everywhere Where we are Same benchmark: 200 invented items in four shapes (route, classify, judge, ground), one in five answerable only with ESCALATE . Two numbers per model, never merged: a task score, and a false-confidence rate. Day 2 said I'd stop ranking models by their average and rank them by th...

Module 2 in the Quantum Computing: A Complete Learning Path series on malcolmlow.com . Following our Introduction to Qubits and Superposition (Module 1), this guide establishes the 3D geometric intuition for single-qubit quantum states and rotations before moving to Two-Qubit Entanglement (Module 3). Every single-qubit quantum state lives on the surface of a unit sphere in three-dimensional Euclidean space: the Bloch sphere . While classical bits are confined to discrete binary val...

Raw HTML makes poor context for an LLM. A typical page is mostly navigation, scripts, cookie banners and footer links. Putting all of that into an embedding model or a prompt wastes tokens and lowers retrieval quality. What you want is the content : headings, paragraphs, lists and links, as markdown, plus enough metadata to cite the source and to tell when it goes stale. This guide uses AgentSearch Web Extract ( agentsearch-web-extract-v1 ) to turn a URL into RAG-ready markdown. It covers ...

Our dear @sjamaan ( website ) is a CHICKEN scheme maintainer and professional Clojure developer. We got to know each other on IRC over a few months and discussed: CHICKEN Scheme and its 6.0.0 release Scheme's community and standardization process Postgres, the horrors of MySQL and (default) SQLite Clojure My ongoing core contributions mainly focus on the numerical tower code, keeping the in-core copy of the irregex library up-to-date with the upstream version (of which I'm a...
