Delve, the YC-backed compliance startup that allegedly faked hundreds of SOC 2 and ISO 27001 audits, is now accused of stealing a fellow YC company's IP. According to Part 2 of DeepDelver's Substack series, Delve took SimStudio's code, removed attribution, rebranded it "Pathways," and started closing $50k-$200k+ enterprise deals with it while telling Sim's founders the ROI wasn't there for a partnership. Here's the breakdown: > Sim (YC X25) signed on as a Delve compliance client for $15k covering SOC 2 Type 1, Type 2, and HIPAA. CEO Karun Kaushik personally promised to handle onboarding > During that same April 2025 sales call, Karun posted a SimStudio link internally with the note "ui inspo for pathways" > Linear tickets referencing "sim studio" under the Pathways project started appearing that same month. An internal Notion doc titled "Sim Studio Port Plan" lists specific folders to copy, including blocks, components, the executor, tools, handlers, and database schema Delve's production code still contains SimStudio references and docs[.]simstudio[.]ai URLs > When Sim's CEO @Emkara tried to sell Delve a licensing deal, Karun said it didn't have "high enough ROI rn" and stopped responding > Sim had no idea Delve was selling their product as Pathways until DeepDelver's Part 1 article. Emir confirmed over email that no white-label or attribution agreement existed > Leaked pitch decks show Delve selling Pathways to Brex, Anthropic, Gusto, and Notion. The Notion deal was $50k+ > The Brex deck promises Pathways will make their GRC team "AI native" and includes a 50%+ partnership discount > The Anthropic deck, dated January 9, 2025, proposes a 1-2 week PoC with named Delve staff building custom Pathways workflows > Delve outsourced Pathways maintenance to a dev shop in Bangladesh > Sim's open source license required attribution. Delve removed it, told clients they "built it from the ground up," and did not disclose Sim's code during Series A due diligence

X has effectively absorbed LinkedIn now. LinkedIn no longer really serves its purpose, and many of the real semiconductor experts are now on X. This person is an expert in MCUs and wireless chips, and given that embedded chip prices have been soaring lately, it’s especially valuable to have someone like this on X at a time like this. You won’t regret following him.

Actually now age matters less than ever The only thing that matters is your velocity at which you can create things now

FFmpeg is moving to Rust 🦀 Our use of C and Assembly in FFmpeg has been an unacceptable violation of safety. FFmpeg will be running 10x slower - but we're doing it for your safety. All your videos will appear green - safety first, working software later.

🚀 Imagine running Claude 4.6 Opus-level reasoning... but entirely on your own GPU with just 16GB VRAM. This 27B Qwen3.5 variant, distilled on Claude 4.6 Opus reasoning traces, delivers frontier coding power locally. It’s beating Claude Sonnet 4.5 on SWE-bench in 4-bit quantization (Q4_K_M) while slashing chain-of-thought bloat by 24%. ✅ Retains 96.91% HumanEval accuracy ✅ Perfect for agentic coding loops (no API costs or latency) 300K+ downloads on HF Link below 👇🏻

🚨 Newest TeamPCP Supply Chain Compromise Affects Rust cargo-env-parser (v1.0.19) I have found that the Rust cargo-env-parser v1.0.19 crate has been compromised via a supply chain attack by the threat actor TeamPCP. There is a malicious payload hidden within the pre-build scripts that downloads additional malware for Windows, macOS and Linux. If your project depends on this crate, assume your environment variables are compromised and rotate your credentials immediately! Full technical breakdown, IOCs, and mitigation steps can be found here: r136a1.dev/teampcp_cargo_…

🚨 BREAKING: Someone just dropped the most advanced Steganography Platform EVER!! 😱🥚 STE.GG is an open-source toolkit that hides secrets inside ANYTHING! images, audio, text, PDFs, network packets, ZIP archives, and even emojis 😘️︎︎️️️️︎︎︎️︎︎️️︎︎︎️︎︎️️️️︎️︎️︎️️︎︎️︎︎︎️︎️︎︎️︎︎︎︎︎︎️︎️︎︎︎︎︎️︎︎️️︎︎︎️︎︎️︎︎️︎️︎︎️️️︎︎️︎️️︎︎️︎︎️️️️️︎​ AND it has an AI agent built in 👀 🔍 REVEAL: drop any file and the AI agent tests every known decoding method automatically. 120 LSB combinations, DCT, PVD, chroma, palette, PNG chunks, trailing data, metadata, Unicode, and more. 50 tools running in parallel. auto-extracts hidden payloads as downloadable artifacts. no config needed. 🔮 CONCEAL: type your secret, pick a method (or let the AI choose), upload a carrier image OR generate one with AI. one click → encoded steg file. the agent recommends the optimal method based on your use case. the methods: ⊰ LSB — 15 channel presets × 8 bit depths = 120 combinations. steghide has 1. st3gg has 120. ⊰ F5 — operates on JPEG DCT coefficients. SURVIVES social media compression. regular LSB is destroyed by ANY JPEG compression, even quality 99%. ⊰ PVD — encodes in pixel pair differences. statistically harder to detect than LSB. ⊰ CHROMA — hides data in color channels (Cb/Cr). human eyes are less sensitive to color than brightness. ⊰ SPECTER (unique) — data hops between RGB channels in a pattern that IS the key. like frequency hopping in radio. ⊰ MATRYOSHKA (unique) — images inside images inside images. 11 layers deep. each layer is a valid image. ⊰ GHOST MODE (unique) — AES-256-GCM (600k PBKDF2 iterations) + bit scrambling + 50% noise decoys. 13 text steganography methods (no other tool has any): ▸ ZERO-WIDTH — invisible characters between visible letters ▸ INVISIBLE INK — Unicode Tag Characters (U+E0000). renders invisible everywhere ▸ HOMOGLYPHS — 'a' → 'а' (Cyrillic). visually identical. different bytes ▸ VARIATION SELECTORS — invisible modifiers after characters ▸ COMBINING MARKS — invisible joiners after letters ▸ CONFUSABLE WHITESPACE — en-space = 01, em-space = 10, thin-space = 11. 2 bits per space. text looks normal. the spaces are "wrong" ▸ DIRECTIONAL OVERRIDES — invisible RLO/LRO bidi characters ▸ HANGUL FILLER — Korean invisible character replaces spaces ▸ MATH BOLD — 'a' becomes '𝐚'. looks like bold text. each bold letter = 1 bit ▸ BRAILLE — each byte maps to a Braille pattern character ▸ EMOJI SUBSTITUTION — 🔵 = 0, 🔴 = 1 ▸ EMOJI SKIN TONE — 👍🏻👍🏼👍🏾👍🏿 four skin tone modifiers = 2 bits each. a row of thumbs-up with different skin tones looks like a diversity post. it's binary data. four emoji = one byte. detection: 50 tools including RS Analysis (academic gold standard), Sample Pairs, chi-square, bit-plane entropy, PCAP protocol analysis, and the AI agent orchestrates all of them automatically. for AI agents: from steg_core import encode, decode from analysis_tools import detect_unicode_steg, TOOL_REGISTRY 50 tools as importable functions. test prompt injection via images. detect covert agent channels. watermark outputs. ▸ 112 techniques across every modality ▸ 50 analysis tools, 568 automated tests ▸ 109 pre-encoded example files ▸ runs 100% in browser at ste.gg — zero server ▸ pip install stegg — live on PyPI right now the README has 7 hidden secrets. the banner has 3 layers. the website has multiple easter eggs. good luck! ⊰•-•✧•-•-⦑ 󠁨󠁩󠁤󠁤󠁥󠁮󠀠󠁩󠁮󠀠󠁰󠁬󠁡󠁩󠁮󠀠󠁳󠁩󠁧󠁨󠁴 ⦒-•-•✧•-•⊱ 🔗 ste.gg 📦 pip install stegg 🐙 github.com/elder-plinius/… *formerly known as Stegosaurus Wrecks* 🦕 T‍​​‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​​​​‌​‌​​​​‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌​‌​​​‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍his text is totally not hiding an invisible sleeper-trigger prompt-injection.

Google Stitch introduced a new concept: DESIGN . md Like README . md but for design systems. A plain markdown file that LLMs read to generate consistent UI. An awesome collection of DESIGN . md files inspired by developer-focused websites like Stripe, Vercel, Linear, Notion, Figma and more. Drop one into your project. Your AI coding agent builds the rest.

Our Codex dashboards are showing increased rate of users hitting rate limits and since we don't fully understand why I have made the cautious decision of resetting the usage limits for all plans. Enjoy. I also wanted to celebrate us finding a pocket of fraudulent accounts that we banned and have helped us regain some compute. The fight against abuse never stops, but it's important to mark the moment and make it a little shared victory.
