Justin Kalland (nix.eth)@nix_eth·
This is what happens when you vibe-code a product that handles sensitive user data: I saw this extension announcement going viral and thought it looked cool, so I checked it out. My first concern was whether my emails would be sent to someone I don't know. I was relieved to see you could bring your own Anthropic API key. The website states your API key and email text go straight to Anthropic and "never touch our servers." Then, when you try it, you hit a paywall where you can input your key. Same claim: your key is stored locally and calls go directly to Anthropic. I got curious and decided to check the Chrome extension source code. Damn. Not only does it send your email text to their servers, it also sends your API key! So both claims, that it calls Anthropic directly and that your API key is stored only locally, are completely false. I'm giving the creator the benefit of the doubt and assuming this was negligence, not malice. He used his real name on Stripe and in the Chrome Web Store. But the lesson is bigger than one project: building with AI is fun, but if you're handling people's data, making security claims, and charging money, you need real review before shipping.

Faros@Faros_AI·
2 years of telemetry, 22K devs. AI's impact on engineering: throughput is up, incidents per PR tripled, and 31% more code is shipping with no review at all. That's the Acceleration Whiplash. The AI Engineering Report 2026 is out. faros.ai/research/ai-ac…

Hey @awscloud, a new API should NOT be a health event. Stop waking people up with spam.

@nisten Apple made M1 too good, so it’s hard for them compete with themselves

Comparison of apple M1-M5 Chips at max ram configs. M5 Max is not actually that good in raw float16 (same as M1 Ultra lol) but should go 2x+ faster in int8. Every single ai websites deep research results hallucinated wrong numbers while making this ( grok, opus, qwen g3.1pro), fixed it manually😠:

Rivian@Rivian·
The wait is almost over. The first R2 variant, featuring dual motors and all-wheel drive, launches this spring. We’ll be sharing full details—pricing, options and more—on March 12. That’s just 4 weeks and 2 days from today. But who’s counting? *Prototype vehicles shown. Final design, equipment and accessories for actual production vehicle may differ.

Insurance is half price when Tesla self-driving is activated, because it increases safety so much
Sawyer Merritt@SawyerMerritt

NEWS: U.S. insurer Lemonade has announced that it will offer a 50% rate cut for drivers of @Tesla vehicles when FSD is steering because it had data showing it reduced accidents. “A car that sees 360 degrees, never gets drowsy, and reacts in milliseconds can’t be compared to a human. Beyond the product announcement today, we’re also announcing our commitment to the Tesla community – the safer FSD software becomes, the more our prices will drop,” said Shai Wininger, co-founder and president at Lemonade.

Обычная OneBlade служила мне верой и правдой несколько лет. Пришло время затестить версию 360. И наконец-то хоть буду видеть, когда заряд заканчивается, чтобы не приходилось с полунебритым лицом выходить на улицу
