Chinese government super computer (allegedly) compromised and (allegedly) 10PB exfiltrated.
The source is CNN.
Something about this story is very strange to me. I've been doing cybersecurity stuff for a long, long time. I'm usually on top of most cybersecurity incidents, whether I discuss it publicly or not, yet I have not heard of this story and I have not seen the moniker "FlamingChina" before.
Furthermore, none of my colleagues have mentioned this compromise to me.
I'm very curious who these cybersecurity experts are who they cite in the article.
I'm also very curious on the 10 PETABYTES of data exfiltrated because they is an unfathomable number.
10PB is 10,000 TB. Even in cold storage that's roughly $43,000/month. If it's "hot storage" you're looking at something like, $150,000/month, that doesn't even include the fees for moving the data which would be ASTRONOMICAL.
Very very strange
🦜 Parrot goes underwater: owner builds him a personal mini-sub
Some absolute mad genius built a tiny submersible for his parrot — now the bird is “exploring” the underwater world in the Bahamas.
And it’s not fake. According to the owner, the parrot named Bebe isn’t new to extreme stuff — he’s even gone skydiving in a special chest box before.
A diving parrot. That’s it — the bar for madness has officially been raised.
for those who are curious, this is a basement multipurpose room (playroom, TV room, pool kitchen). it's a fun and informal space for hanging out with groups of kiddos
I asked gemini to give my basement a glow up and then went out and bought all the actual furniture. First is the nano banana mockup; second is the actual room as it looks today; third is the original photo of the room that nano banana was working off of.
@micro_chop That's why I liked the Houstonsoreal and cocaineblunts, documenting music things. Word to @noz and @TalkSoRealest. The 64 dollar cologne compilation and Dizzee Rascal/Bun B stuff was fire from both sources. SOHH was the spot too.
There was a great rap magazine archive on WordPress called 'Press Rewind If I Haven't.' I've used this site a million times over the years for research and reading. I was sad today to see that it looks like the site is now out of commission and only works through @waybackmachine.
@godofprompt I was telling someone that 25 years ago it was "know how", you needed to know how to do something. 10 years ago it was "know where", know where to go for an answer. Asking a younger person, they said the next "know" is either "know when it's wrong" or "know what you want from it"
SHOCKING: 99% of GTM engineers using Claude are barely scratching the surface.
Right now, the entire internet is screaming "Claude, Claude, Claude"... But here's the truth: just prompting it won't build GTM infrastructure.
To unlock its real power, you need to master:
- Claude Code deployment with the WAT framework and CLAUDE. md self-improvement loop
- MCP connections, sub-agents, and automations running 24/7 without you
- Pre-built prompt systems covering every GTM function you actually run
I spent 100+ hours building and documenting the most complete Claude GTM Engineering Bible and compiled every prompt, workflow, build sequence, and deployment guide into one resource.
I'll give it to only 500 people.
To get it:
1. Follow me MUST (so I can DM)
2. Comment "CLAUDE"
3. I'll DM you the bible
If you don't follow or comment, you won't receive it.
Anthropic ran their entire marketing operation with one person.
$380 billion company.
Paid search. Paid social. SEO. Email. App stores.
One non-technical hire doing all of it — for 10 months.
I pulled it apart.
Compared it to every system we've built across the clients we've worked with.
Then asked myself one question:
If I had to reverse engineer this from scratch — what would it actually look like?
Turns out the architecture isn't that complicated.
I mapped the whole thing into a 47-page PDF you can upload directly to any LLM.
It coaches you through building your own version step by step.
Comment "marketing" and I'll send it over.

@julie78787@PulpLibrarian@usgraphics True, but when troubleshooting something out in the field, sometimes you can find the console cable but the USB to DB9 adapter isn't often laying around.
@crite512@PulpLibrarian@usgraphics My last laptop with an actual serial port was a DuraBook or whatever.
With so many different kinds of USB adapters there's no longer a need for them.
