Worried Anthropic researchers warn that AI ‘could kill all humans’

A senior Anthropic safety researcher has said there is more than a 10 percent chance artificial intelligence "could kill all humans" by the end of the decade, just hours after a colleague resigned over fears the AI lab and its rivals are carelessly racing to build "superhuman systems" they cannot control. In a post on […]

Dependency Parsing: How NLP Understands Sentence Structure

You now know what each word is. But do you know what each word does ? In the previous post, we covered Part of Speech Tagging: the process of labelling each word as a noun, verb, adjective, and so on. That tells you the category of every word in a sentence. But it doesn’t tell you how those words connect to each other. Take this sentence: “The dog bit the man.” POS tagging tells you that “dog” is a noun and “bit” is a verb. But it doesn’t tell you that “dog” is the one doing the biti...

Building a serverless Chrome Extension to safely extract Facebook Group data

Building a serverless Chrome Extension to safely extract Facebook Group data Hey everyone! 👋 As a solo freelance developer who handles a lot of web automation, data scraping, and B2B lead generation, I constantly need to analyze Facebook communities. Usually, when I need to scrape data, my default stack involves spinning up Python with Playwright, Nodriver, or handling anti-detect browsers. But let’s be honest: maintaining a heavy automated setup just to grab a quick list of members f...

Those Share Buttons Are Guessing What's On My Phone

Scroll to the bottom of almost any blog post and you'll find the same five icons: a bird that got rebranded two years ago, a lowercase "f" in a circle, a chain-link for "copy URL," maybe an envelope. Someone built that row once, for the apps that mattered at the time, and it has been quietly lying to every reader since. It doesn't know if you have Twitter — sorry, X — installed. It doesn't know you'd rather send this to yourself on WhatsApp, or drop it in the Notes app, or AirDrop it to the l...

My Security App Used to "Encrypt" Passwords With XOR. Here's the Post-Mortem I Wish More Devs Wrote.

Most security software marketing sounds the same: "military-grade encryption," "unbreakable," "100% secure." I want to try something different. I'm going to tell you about a real mistake in an earlier version of my app, ATLOCK, how I found it, and exactly what replaced it — because I think more builders should talk about the version of their product they're embarrassed by. What ATLOCK actually does ATLOCK is a Windows security suite with four modules: Lockdown — system-level screen lock...

Monitor Call Quality in Real Time with Telnyx Webhooks and Python

Call quality is not a single number you check once. It is a stream of measurements — MOS, jitter, latency, packet loss — that arrive while a call is active and that you need to inspect afterward. This sample puts that stream into a Flask dashboard with live SSE updates, SQL-backed history, and threshold alerting, all verifiable without a Telnyx account. I work with Telnyx. The code is available here: https://github.com/team-telnyx/telnyx-code-examples/tree/main/call-quality-monitor ...

Where Alpha Testing Fits in SDLC, Agile, and CI/CD

Alpha testing usually happens when a product is stable enough for realistic internal testing but has not yet reached external users. Its exact position can vary depending on how the team develops and releases software. In a traditional SDLC, alpha testing often appears as a distinct stage. In Agile and CI/CD environments, it may work more like an internal release checkpoint that happens repeatedly before selected users receive access. Where Alpha Testing Fits in the SDLC In a ...

SQL Joins in PostgreSQL: Patients, Doctors, and the Rows That Go Missing

A join is how you ask one question across two tables. The database keeps patients in one table and appointments in another, because storing the patient's name on every appointment row would mean fixing it in ten places when it's misspelled. A join puts them back together for the length of one query. That's the whole idea. The part that takes practice is that there are several kinds of joins, and they disagree about what to do with rows that have no partner on the other side. Pick the wrong on...

Search in Vim: find text without losing your flow

You're inside a 400-line file. You need to find where userId is used, but your fingers start the classic ritual: j , j , j , j , look around, j , j , k because you overshot, sigh, repeat. Where was that variable? Why are there three similar blocks? Who wrote this endless function? Ah. You did. Always more fun when the culprit is you. Vim doesn't want you wandering through files like you're searching for your keys in the dark — room by room, hand on the wall. It wants you to jump str...

Borsa Verisiyle Çalışırken Sürekli Dönüp Dolaşıp Kullandığım 6 Python Kütüphanesi

Borsa verisiyle uğraşmaya başladığım ilk günlerde her şeyi sıfırdan yazmaya çalışıyordum. Kendi indikatörlerimi, kendi veri çekme sistemlerimi kuruyordum ama zamanla fark ettim ki bazı araçlar aslında benim yapmaya çalıştığım her işi benden daha iyi ve hızlı yapıyor. Fiyat verisiyle uğraşırken her projede aynı kütüphanelere dönüyorum. Hepsini gerçek işlerde kullandım, sırasıyla ne işe yaradıklarını ve neden tercih ettiğimi anlatıyorum. Bu liste benim yıllar içinde deneme yanılma ile oluşturduğum...

The Auth Template That Trusted Its Caller: AccessKeyID Injection in EKS

✓ Human-authored analysis; AI used for formatting and proofreading. When a user's kubectl command authenticates to an Amazon EKS cluster, three components cooperate to turn an AWS identity into a Kubernetes user: The aws-iam-authenticator client signs an STS GetCallerIdentity request and sends the URL to the cluster as a presigned bearer token. The cluster's webhook authenticator parses the URL, verifies the signature, and extracts the AWS principal's identity. A configured ...

Building a Schema With an AI Agent Without Naming a Single Column

Ask an AI agent for a discussion-board schema and you'll get one in about four seconds. Here is the part nobody mentions: you'll also get is_deleted in this table and del_yn in the next one, because the model is pattern-matching against every schema on GitHub, and those schemas disagree with each other and with you. The fix is not a better prompt. It is giving the agent the same thing you'd give a new hire — the list of words your team actually uses — and making it impossible to ignore. ...
