It's a good read.

I like the 'we found a 'use after free' bug, and had a few people repro it before submitting. While that happened it found 49 others!'

and interesting that 'we spent 4k of tokens trying to actually get claude to exploit the vulns but barely got 1 to work'

Partnering with Mozilla to improve Firefox’s security Anthropic is an AI safety and research company that's working to build reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems.

This post makes sense, we got two reports of a pretty serious issue in CocoaPods trunk in the same week which I think is likely coming from a foundation model update making it possible to find new holes in systems

Thanks, I'll give it a test on my iPad when I get back home in a week or so

I have both of your emails from github/your site, I'll start an email thread with some of the puzzmo folks too

@ludipe.bsky.social are you folks going to be at GDC? I feel like there's got to be something interesting in the Puzzmo x Thinky Games space, we should all meet up

I wasn't super convinced on the outer gameplay loop, I enjoyed the in-game bits of ARC but outside of the looting/shooting it didn't really grab me - so I only played a few times

Yeah, anything is technically possible

No, I wouldn't do that (I had the same thoughts with activitypub back a few years back also)

I wouldn't want all the PDS responsibilities, and custom atproto user management on top of all our existing web infra

A user gains nothing on a temporary atproto account, and wouldn't think to migrate out

Next time you play that game, a new streak will replace it

Dunno if I'll be on the same timezones as you folks, but could be nice if it happens occasionally

Folks, this isn't some cute side-project where you can just switch out tens of thousands of paying users and force them to use atproto

It's a nice idea, but those are the sort of things only possible on new early stage projects

You need to sign up to Puzzmo, to then connect your Bluesky account _to it_

You can (I use npmx.social instead of bluesky.social) you need to click the 'My account lives elsewhere' button and put in your handle so we can resolve your PDS

Looks like the previous deploy didn't include that section in the account settings, should be there now

Wrangling atproto + Bluesky for Puzzmo.com Catch-up If you want the end-user perspective of what we have shipped read: Bluesky on Puzzmo. The TLDR: We have Bluesky follower sync We have a labeler which sets labels so you can see other Puzzmona...

Yeah, it uses a de-centralized method for attesting subsets of a record from @keytrace.dev, and uses the Puzzmo private keys to sign

So kinda both yeah, but we dont store puzzle completions on atproto - only a game's streaks atm

IMO for constrained domains these editors will be a great way to operate, but code as text might always 'win' due to the "worse is better" system of any text editor, any diff tool, any VCS etc is already primed for that and you'd lose a lot of network effects

I think the closest I've seen in terms of precedence for a language with those constraints might be darklang (classic) which opted against files and treated code as free-form blobs in your process/server - it looked interesting
