Claude Code has been storing developer passwords in plain text files, which in some cases have ended up on Github.

Just look at the outpouring of love and respect for Patrick Stewart and compare him with the mediocre men at the head of the tech industry, sitting alone in their castles made of money and algorithms. How jealous they must feel, longing for the genuine affection they will never get, the popularity earned and not bought, the love they will never understand.
Alternatively, him deciding to do "Pest Control" in the Showtime movie Safe House: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFVuAW9q1SQ
RIP Patrick Stewart, one of several stars of the USA Network TV movie Alistair MacLean's Death Train
Gotta say though, having all this stuff to actually watch and listen and play now has me genuinely wanting to write about this stuff
Maybe not in a big, long form piece but something more akin to the average Letterboxd or Backloggd review, more bite sized.
Foly huck. A small story about LLMs.
For historical reasons, I have a spare cassette for road bikes and it is not compatible with any of my own bikes so I want to sell it. Decided it would be helpful for buyers to include the teeth count of the smallest and largest sprocket in the ad, and was in a lazy Saturday afternoon mood so took a picture, gave that to #chatgpt and asked it to do the counting for me. Answer: 36 teeth.
That sprocket size doesn't exist in the Shimano universe.
So I tried to verify its count by asking it to add an increasing number next to every tooth. It complied, and the numbers ran from 1-36. That pictures is included below. You can stop reading now, look at the picture and count along.
If your ADD is not too bad, you'll notice it skipped 18, so we have 35 teeth. Not 36.
However that also doesn't exist in the Shimano universe.
Being as confused as the average republican, I demanded a #recount! It told me 36 again.
Sigh. Decided to do a manual recount while holding the sprocket in my hand. 28. That is a valid size.
Then I looked at the photo with counts again. Turns out the clanker took my original photo as inspiration, and fabricated a photo of a sprocket with 35 teeth. I am not sure what triggered it to do that and I do not want to know.
Your average #LLM is still as bad at counting as they were a year ago. Maybe worse.
Also, do not invest in that stuff ok?
