Gilgit Baltistan, India 🇮🇳 (illegally occupied by pakistan)

Suddenly all Indian Media portals are returning 404 errors. What a shining example of Freedom of Speech 🤡🤡🤡

South African Finance Minister has 'SOMETHING HANGING OUT OF HIS PANTS' during parliamentary session 'Please put it back inside and zip it up... It's very short, very short' 'Honorable members, you are actually LIVE ON TV'

Chandigarh felt unsettling today. In Sector 33B, a young man stood motionless for nearly 2-2.5 hours. A bidi in his mouth, eyes fixed, completely disconnected from everything around him. People watched, then worried. Someone called the police. They came and took him away. What’s really happening in our city?

Pakistan hunko maarke chala gya, aur humare mantri america jaakar rone lage Obama, Obama....

Hit me with the craziest Mumbai history facts you know.

It's a global energy crisis. But India is far better positioned than it was in 2020.

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.

Trump son of b!tch. Waited for Indian markets to close to announce ceasefire. Now will again do gand masti tomorrow 9.15 ist
