Just my personal opinions, nothing more.




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.



V Ljubljani je vedno več napadov na tuje državljane, za katere so odgovorne skrajno desne skupine. »V številnih primerih napadi ne jemljejo resno. Včasih policija sploh ne sprejme izjave žrtev ali, še huje, žrtev obtoži ’pretepanja’ in ji napiše globo.« buff.ly/pBJK3w8







Ustavni pravnik Igor Kaučič pravi, da gre pri združevanju volišč na predčasnih volitvah za formalno nezakonitost. Zakaj? "Zato, ker samo oblikovanje takih volišč ne vpliva nujno na glasovanje in izid glasovanja." rtvslo.si/slovenija/parl…


A ni to lušno? Ustavnik pravnik Zagorc in ustavni pravnik @JanezPogorelec vam bosta rade volje razložila, kako država lahko očitno in vsem jasno krši lastno zakonodajo, in je to nekaj povsem sprejemljivega, ako le ne "ne more vplivati na rezultate volitev". dnevnik.si/novice/sloveni…
