axios is the most popular http client in the JavaScript ecosystem. If your app uses an API, connects to a web server, or does anything on the Internet it's probably compromised.
Feross@feross

🚨 CRITICAL: Active supply chain attack on axios -- one of npm's most depended-on packages. The latest axios@1.14.1 now pulls in plain-crypto-js@4.2.1, a package that did not exist before today. This is a live compromise. This is textbook supply chain installer malware. axios has 100M+ weekly downloads. Every npm install pulling the latest version is potentially compromised right now. Socket AI analysis confirms this is malware. plain-crypto-js is an obfuscated dropper/loader that: • Deobfuscates embedded payloads and operational strings at runtime • Dynamically loads fs, os, and execSync to evade static analysis • Executes decoded shell commands • Stages and copies payload files into OS temp and Windows ProgramData directories • Deletes and renames artifacts post-execution to destroy forensic evidence If you use axios, pin your version immediately and audit your lockfiles. Do not upgrade.

@MParakhin Coding models are not trained just on school essays, they are trained on real code...

In pre-training models mostly see text. Humans value longer, more flowery essays (remember school page requirements?), the models learn that. It is genuinely hard to make them produce concise code. My trick is to use long thinking and add “produce tightest, minimal, most elegant code possible” to every prompt - it forces the model to iteratively simplify. In this case, the human’s code (on the right) is less efficient, ironically :-)

Same C++ function. One is generated with AI. The other one is written manually. Guess which one is which.

Better use as many tokens as you can now. LLM limits will only get tighter this year.

One of the most insidious tics LLMs have when coding is this obsession with adding "fallback" behaviors everywhere These are extremely toxic because they hide real bugs and most importantly, introduce lots of potential privilege escalation vulnerabilities everywhere

I'm going to save you a lot of time on Twitter. 🦄 If it says "completely disrupted" - it won't. If it's dumb/offensive - it's rage baiting for engagement. If it's about AI with the above - it's click-farming and they can barely prompt chatGPT.

I recently met a founder who has an engineer spending more on Claude tokens than his actual salary. His goal: entire company spends more on tokens than people by end of 2026. Just imagine... $150k engineer → $300k/year in token spend Curious to see when the flip happens at scale in more companies.

@levelsio Tmux is great but the default key mappings are insane. Ctrl-b? Why?

I hate tmux It's so incredibly user unfriendly The shortcuts make no sense I wish someone would make a better tmux Even just logging into tmux attaching the screen is an illogical hell to type Again I hate tmux, it's so shit
Matthieu Richard@SpaceMatthieu

@levelsio Is there a good way to jump between tmux sessions on Termius? I find it quite hard to manage multiple codex/claude sessions on the go

Manus pivot to local. Guess it stopped being risky.
