The GameStop thought of the day today is a little different than usual. What is on my mind is Implied Volatility, which, as seen below, is trending lower and lower, much like the situation leading into April 2024, two years ago. The only reason I mention this is because pattern breaks happen and can be devastating if you are running particular strategies, for example, a covered strangle position. So if you are running particular strategies, always watch the conditions on which your strategies depend. Or in simpler terms: If you continue to chase premiums into an IV dumpster fire and something comes along to catapult this thing, you're likely to get mass assigned and lose all your shares like a lot of people in early May 2024. Just something to think about. Let's go GameStop! As usual, I don't know anything and am always wrong. Make good decisions for you, I don't know what those are.

@joecarlsonshow With all due respect and I’m an early watcher. You cant and shouldn’t compare yourself with Buffett. You are doing great the way you are.

It’s hilarious that I make a video saying buy dips in the market even during war, and I get a hundred comments saying I’m naive, then the very next day Buffett goes on TV and says he will buy dips in the market even during war.

Anthropic leaked 512,000 lines of Claude Code source code yesterday. What happened in the next 12 hours is absolutely wild. 4 AM. Anthropic pushes an update to npm. Inside the package: their entire codebase. A 60 MB debugging file accidentally bundled in. 23 minutes later, researcher Chaofan Shou spots it. Downloads the zip. Posts it on X. Within 6 hours: 3 million views. By the time Anthropic’s team woke up, the code was forked 41,000+ times across GitHub. Anthropic started firing DMCA takedowns. Too late. A Korean developer named Sigrid Jin woke up to his phone exploding. He’s Claude Code’s biggest power user. WSJ reported he burned through 25 billion tokens last year. He read the leaked code. Rewrote the entire thing in Python in 8 hours. His repo hit 30,000 stars faster than any GitHub project in history. Then he rewrote it again in Rust. That version now has 49,000 stars. Someone mirrored it to a decentralized platform with one message: “will never be taken down.” The code is permanent. Anthropic cannot get it back. Here’s the part I can’t stop thinking about: Anthropic built something called “Undercover Mode.” Its only job: prevent Claude from accidentally leaking internal secrets. They shipped an entire anti-leak system in their own product. Then leaked their own source code in a .map file. Irony is beautiful

Software horror: litellm PyPI supply chain attack. Simple `pip install litellm` was enough to exfiltrate SSH keys, AWS/GCP/Azure creds, Kubernetes configs, git credentials, env vars (all your API keys), shell history, crypto wallets, SSL private keys, CI/CD secrets, database passwords. LiteLLM itself has 97 million downloads per month which is already terrible, but much worse, the contagion spreads to any project that depends on litellm. For example, if you did `pip install dspy` (which depended on litellm>=1.64.0), you'd also be pwnd. Same for any other large project that depended on litellm. Afaict the poisoned version was up for only less than ~1 hour. The attack had a bug which led to its discovery - Callum McMahon was using an MCP plugin inside Cursor that pulled in litellm as a transitive dependency. When litellm 1.82.8 installed, their machine ran out of RAM and crashed. So if the attacker didn't vibe code this attack it could have been undetected for many days or weeks. Supply chain attacks like this are basically the scariest thing imaginable in modern software. Every time you install any depedency you could be pulling in a poisoned package anywhere deep inside its entire depedency tree. This is especially risky with large projects that might have lots and lots of dependencies. The credentials that do get stolen in each attack can then be used to take over more accounts and compromise more packages. Classical software engineering would have you believe that dependencies are good (we're building pyramids from bricks), but imo this has to be re-evaluated, and it's why I've been so growingly averse to them, preferring to use LLMs to "yoink" functionality when it's simple enough and possible.

@qatarairways @qatarairways just wanted to give you credit for finally taking the feedback and extending the window thank you

@qatarairways If you want to reduce the volume of calls the easiest way would be to extend the full-refund period like every other airline and allow everyone to self-service request full refund with CLEARLY stated full-refund amount on the screen before you click request refund. It's not hard

an increasingly large part of the job of an engineer is deciding how much compute to spend on a problem

Everyday Americans are given opportunities to lose money every day in everything these days

@qatarairways End of March is 31st not 28

@antonbelev @antonbelev Hi Anton, thank you for your comment. Our refund policy has already been extended to cover affected travel until 28 March. If you need any assistance with your booking, please send us a DM and we’ll be happy to help.

Qatar Airways Operates Limited Flight Schedule to and from Doha With Qatar Airways flights still temporarily suspended due to the closure of Qatari airspace, we are doing everything possible to support affected passengers and help reunite them with family and loved ones. We recognise this may be unsettling and appreciate your patience and understanding during this time. Operations will resume once the Qatar Civil Aviation Authority confirms the safe reopening of Qatari airspace. Following temporary authorisation from the Qatar Civil Aviation Authority allowing limited operating corridors, Qatar Airways plans to operate select flights in the coming days to support passengers affected by the disruption. These flights do not constitute confirmation of the resumption of scheduled commercial operations. To book these flights and for the latest flight updates, please visit the Qatar Airways website or App, or contact a travel agent. You can check our latest flight schedule at qatarairways.com/schedule In addition, Qatar Airways has organized selected direct point-to-point flights to help passengers continue their journeys. Eligible passengers for point-to-point flights will be contacted directly by Qatar Airways. Passengers are kindly asked not to arrive at their departure airport unless they hold a valid, confirmed ticket for travel. The safety and wellbeing of our passengers and crew remain our highest priority. We apologise for the disruption caused by circumstances beyond our control and thank our passengers for their patience and understanding. Passengers with confirmed bookings between 28 February and 22 March 2026 may choose two complimentary date changes (up to +14 days from the original travel date) or a refund of the unused ticket value.

@Jason This one is super weird to me, so MSFT holds like 30%+ of OpenAI and they consider legal action? So MSFT is suing MSFT ?

It would be more efficient to create a list of partners who haven’t sued OpenAI at this point. 😂😂😂

@bcherny Are you coming to London? I've submitted my application for the lottery :fingers-crossed:

Can’t wait for this!

@qatarairways You really need to extend that, other carriers in the region are already doing what is right in this situation. See how many people are asking you in the comments....

@larryvc Let me know if you figure out the distribution problem :D as a software engineer with 10yoe I have so many ideas, but when it comes to getting real users to test them most of them hit a wall.

I'm realizing that ~50% of my Claude projects could be stand-alone businesses if they were better tuned for the use case.

@Kalshi imagine how much they can save if they cut 100%

JUST IN: JPMorgan says Meta could save $5 billion per year by cutting 20% of employees

@trq212 must be nice to have unlimited usage

i think we might have undersold 1M context tbh, the performance is so so good, I really just don't clear the context window much these days

@GergelyOrosz do you have a deep dive with any tech company on how they manage LLM gateways? I vaguely remember watching a talk from some guys from Uber talking about how they manage MCP and LLM gateways and skills etc

@qatarairways You really need to extend the free cancellation period, it's a shame how slow you extend the window, not allowing people to plan ahead their long haul flights. Your policy is adding to the stress many experience right now. Please extend the period further.

Your safety remains our priority. Flights are currently operating within a limited safe corridor defined by the Qatar Civil Aviation Authority. Therefore, the number of flights that can operate each day are limited under the current operational conditions. The safety and wellbeing of our passengers and crew remain our highest priority. Check the latest schedule here: qatarairways.com/schedule

@bcherny including weekends?

We doubled Claude usage on weekends, and outside 5–11am PT on weekdays for the next 2 weeks.
