New Blog Post: Towards N-th Party Risk Management - I have been looking into the latest data on how to manage "Third party Risk". Check it out. Based on report of @cyentiainst blog.zoller.lu/2024/02/toward…

Big paper coming out soon. Using AI, we mapped embryos of mice, alligators, turtles, rhesus macaques, and chickens in 3D and at single-cell resolution. We discovered something truly remarkable...stay tuned!

@bryan_johnson @alexderkrieger You assume it does

@alexderkrieger That's one of the highest value insights from this experiment: cold exposure immediately following sauna cancels out many of the benefits.

Hungary's intelligence services have been using Israeli-made surveillance tools to track hundreds of millions of people, @OsintFlow reports citing a VSquare and Citizen Lab investigation. The most powerful tool is Webloc, which pulls GPS, Wi-Fi, and ad data from over 500 million phones worldwide. It builds detailed profiles including home addresses, daily routines, political views, and health conditions. The purchases were run through SCI-Network Ltd., headed by a former counterintelligence officer with ties to Orban's cabinet chief Antal Rogan, who controls both civilian intelligence and the PM's propaganda machine. Licenses were renewed in March 2026 – just weeks before Hungary's elections. t.me/osintflow/16941

L-theanine is the only legal compound that changes your brainwaves on an EEG within 40 minutes of swallowing a capsule. And the mechanism is wild. Your brain constantly balances two opposing neurotransmitters. Glutamate fires neurons. GABA calms them. L-theanine is a structural mimic of glutamate, close enough to cross the blood-brain barrier and sit on glutamate receptors. But instead of firing the neuron, it partially blocks the signal. Your excitatory system downshifts without you feeling sedated. That downshift cascades. GABA levels rise. Serotonin and dopamine both increase. EEG studies at Oxford showed 200mg produces measurable alpha wave activity in the 8-13 Hz range across the parietal and occipital cortex. Alpha waves are the frequency your brain produces during meditation and flow states. Most people spend years trying to access that band through breathwork. A capsule gets there in 40 minutes. The part that makes it genuinely useful: a 2016 study gave subjects L-theanine during a multitasking stressor. The placebo group's brains shifted into high-beta stress mode. The L-theanine group maintained alpha dominance under the same conditions. Their brains stayed in calm-focus while processing the same cognitive load. Pair it with caffeine and the synergy gets even more interesting. Caffeine alone sharpens attention but triggers tremor, anxiety, and an eventual crash. L-theanine blocks the jitter pathway without touching the alertness pathway. You get the focus of coffee without the cortisol spike. One cup of green tea contains roughly 20mg of L-theanine, which is why tea feels different from coffee at equivalent caffeine doses. 200mg daily is the dose most studies use. That bottle is 100mg capsules. Two per day. Yes, it's worth the hype. One of the few supplements where the EEG data actually matches what people report feeling.

someone at ANTHROPIC just showed CLAUDE finding ZERO DAY vulnerabilities in a live conference demo claude has found zero day in Ghost, 50,000 stars on github, never had a critical security vulnerability in its entire, history... it found the blind SQL injection in 90 minutes, stole the admin api key, then did the exact, same thing to the linux kernel

Perks of dating a European man: - Rich (€1,100/month, can never be fired) - Educated (at least two masters degrees) - Cultured (did Erasmus exchange in Ljubljana) - Tolerant (you can have a black boyfriend) - Fit (cycles 17km to work) - Good with money (pays 65% tax)

Controlled sleep restriction studies consistently show the same pattern: restrict healthy adults to 4-6 hours a night, and within a week, cortisol, glucose tolerance, insulin sensitivity, muscle protein synthesis, appetite hormones, and testosterone all move in the wrong direction. No single marker tells the story. The tax is cumulative.

for a while i've had a slight fear that the bluetooth from my airpods could be frying my brain this weekend i pulled the raw data from a $30m government study of 1,679 mice blasted with cell phone radiation and reanalyzed it what i found was...not what I expected? 🧵

@heynavtoor Source code likely enough for most of these findings. Dynamic testing nice to have. Add it to your dev pipeline

🚨 Someone just open sourced a fully autonomous AI hacker and it's terrifying. It's called Shannon. Point it at your web app, and it doesn't just scan for vulnerabilities. It actually exploits them. Real injections. Real auth bypasses. Real database exfiltrations. Not alerts. Not warnings. Actual working exploits with copy-paste proof-of-concepts. Here's what this thing does autonomously: → Reads your entire source code to plan its attack → Maps every endpoint, API route, and auth mechanism → Runs Nmap, Subfinder, and WhatWeb for deep recon → Hunts for Injection, XSS, SSRF, and broken auth in parallel → Launches real browser-based exploits to prove each vulnerability → Generates a pentester-grade report with reproducible PoCs Here's the wildest part: It follows a strict "No Exploit, No Report" policy. If it can't actually break it, it doesn't report it. Zero false positives. It pointed at OWASP Juice Shop and found 20+ critical vulnerabilities in a single run including complete auth bypass and full database exfiltration. On the XBOW Benchmark (hint-free, source-aware), it scored 96.15%. Your team ships code daily with Claude Code and Cursor. Your pentest happens once a year. That's 364 days of shipping blind. Shannon closes that gap. One command. Fully autonomous. The Red Team to your vibe-coding Blue team. Every Claude coder deserves their Shannon. 10.6K GitHub stars. 1.3K forks. Already trending. 100% Open Source. AGPL-3.0 License.

Everyone today is a hacker in a sense but there are very few OG hackers on which shoulders we stand Oh dude, Felix “FX” Lindner you were so much a hackers hacker and you will be missed RIP my friend and thank you

A San Diego startup just made whole genome sequencing cost $100. It used to cost $1 billion + The Human Genome Project took 13 years (1990-2003), billions of dollars, and an international consortium of 20+ institutions to sequence one genome. My PhD advisor, @s_batzoglou, was one of the first MIT PHDs who worked on it. He helped build the computational foundations that made it possible. His career spans the entire arc — from assembling the first human reference genome to making sequencing routine. The 10,000,000x cost drop isn't just a number. It's the difference between a moonshot national project and a routine lab test. Previous generation proved it was possible. This generation proved it could be cheap. The question now: what happens when everyone's genome is a $100 blood test? The implications for medicine, privacy, insurance, human identity? We're not ready.

I spent more test time compute and realized that my micrograd can be dramatically simplified even further. You just return local gradients for each op and get backward() to do the multiply (chaining) with global gradient from loss. So each op just expresses the bare fundamentals of what it needs to: the forward computation and the backward gradients for it. Huge savings from 243 lines of code to just 200 (~18%). Also, the code now fits even more beautifully to 3 columns and happens to break just right: Column 1: Dataset, Tokenizer, Autograd Column 2: GPT model Column 3: Training, Inference Ok now surely we are done.

this is really amazing. Andrej implemented most of the complexity of modern LLMs in <200 lines. and only imported these three packages

Prediction: In less than 6 months, you'll see blackmarkets on PC parts, that are great at running local AIs. And contrary to popular belief having a Mac Studio is not the best choice compared to getting the right PC spec: A dual RTX 6000 produces > twice as much ai compute tokens per/sec > compared to a Mac Studio 512gb > on recent benchmarks on Minimax 2.5 > while costing half of a Mac Studio Still Mac Studios are sold out everywhere due to hype from OpenClaw users. While benchmarks clearly suggest that buying PCs for running local LLMs is multiple times more effective! Now that Minimax 2.5 came out open source, as a free to run Ai model that runs on your local machine while delivering close to Opus 4.5 level results: shift towards buying PCs will accelerate. As once you pay for such a spec once, you won't need to pay for subscriptions. And you'll have your privacy instead of sending all your data to servers of AI companies. Blackmarkets on PC parts is sure to happen because: 99% of the world hasn't awakened to the fact that the age of true/useful AI has arrived in the last 2 months. They will in the next 6 months. Most businesses will want their privacy and cost efficiency. Most vibe coders will want these shiny new toys, that will be the specs to run local AIs. They will be the new Ferraris and Rolexes. Except these toys will be useful to spawn countless agents working for you for free after you pay the initial hardware costs. Except electricity, which you can handle by moving to a free electricity rental. I have 0 doubt that PC part demand will skyrocket within the next 6 months, and most parts that are great at running AIs will start to have blackmarkets on eBay etc. If you wanna be early to the movement and already vibe coding give the article below a read to choose the right PC spec for yourself:

@Jacobsklug @openclaw @Lovable OS I guess

I'm giving away my entire @openclaw architecture. Behind my $250k/month agency. After weeks of building, I've dialled in the exact system that runs my business 24/7. What's included: • Memory folder structure (how to organize agent context) • Cron job templates (daily briefs, meeting syncs, content automation) • How to build a custom dashboard in @lovable • API reference doc (so your agent never forgets its tools) • Voice training method (85 posts to teach it your style) • Supabase schema for dashboard connection Comment "OS" and follow. I'll DM it to you. P.S. This will probably blow up so give me some time to reply.

Everyone's sharing their OpenClaw setups. Most skip security entirely. I spent a week hardening mine: Dedicated machine, Tailscale, command allowlists, read-only tokens. The security-first guide I wish existed when I started. 🦞🔒 x.com/JordanLyall/st…

There goes the home planet. Anthropic discovered 600 open source vulns in well-fuzzed open source projects, using Opus 4.6. red.anthropic.com/2026/zero-days/ It's time for action. A short thread.
