Last post about the Minecraft clone running on a custom CPU

GPT-5.6 Sol upgraded the CPU to support 256 KiB of RAM, along with a few other changes

This is about as far as it could push it within Turing Complete’s limits without everything breaking

People asked for DOOM so here's DOOM running on GPT-5.6 Sol's custom CPU, it called it Codex-R32

"The CPU is built from primitive logic components and wires inside Turing Complete. DOOM uses the C-based PureDOOM port, compiled into native RV32IM machine code that runs directly on the custom Codex‑R32 CPU"

In powershell:
if you accidentally type $LogPath = "C:\logs" but later write Remove-Item $LogPth\*, normal PowerShell treats $LogPth as null and evaluates the path to \* and attempts to delete your root directory.

Strict mode stops the script instantly on the typo (Set-StrictMode -Version 1.0 (or higher))
Telegram has a new bug (only for accounts from a very specific region):

if you send a text message with a URL in it, it may not be send. some clients will show the error to you (such as Unigram); it's a floodwait error coming from their backend

the issue is with web preview. when you want to send that message, disable web page preview on that message. it doesn't matter even if there is no web page preview shown, you just have to disable it

here is how to disable it:
as you write the URL, a small panel shows up on the message box. click on "x", so it goes away

if that panel doesn't show up, it means you are trying to send a private URL (e.g. a message URL in a private channel/group), in that case, try to write a public URL first (e.g. https://github.com); once that panel showed up click on the "x"

Re: GLM-5.3-Flash

July 16th: The "Kimi K3 moment" - China has caught up to Opus!

4 weeks later: GLM 5.3 - Same performance, but cut the amount of parameters and cost to a third!

12 days later: GLM 5.3 Flash - Almost GLM5.3 performance but cut the parameters in half, cut prices to a fifth and serving on Chinese chips!

We found a preauth rce in @whmcs 9.0.0 to 9.0.6, since this has been already fixed in 9.0.7, I'll drop the details soon.

sorry, but glm-3.5-flash needs to be steered a lot by a smarter model. and don't get me wrong, i'm really a fan of fast, affordable and smart flash models, but the hype and artificially blowing it up as if it were on the same level as gpt sol or fable just isn't true.

Privilege escalation from IIS AppPool to NT Authority/SYSTEM

By default, IIS Application Pools (like IIS APPPOOL\DefaultAppPool) operate with a special permission called SeImpersonatePrivilege. This privilege is granted by design so the web server can impersonate connecting clients when needed.

The attack exploits this by targeting a Remote Procedure Call (RPC) endpoint related to AD-CS. If an attacker gains basic access to your web server (for example, through a file upload vulnerability in your website), they get code execution as the low-privileged IIS AppPool user.

They can then use a script to trick the local AD-CS RPC endpoint, which runs as the highest privileged user (NT Authority\SYSTEM), into authenticating back to a fake service controlled by the attacker. Because the IIS AppPool holds SeImpersonatePrivilege, it intercepts that SYSTEM authentication token and applies it to itself. The attacker instantly goes from a restricted web user to complete administrative control over the server. This is a new variation of what the security community calls Potato attacks.

Proxmox VE 7.x authentication bypass (pre-auth RCE)
Posted by NebuSec, 2 hours ago

PoC: https://gist.github.com/nebusecurity/65fe90dd673d395b7926278d7eaf5849

Proxmox 7 is EOL but still significant

The API login call (POST /api2/json/access/ticket) accepts a 'tfa-challenge' parameter. It carries the signed, half-authenticated TFA challenge ticket that a client receives when logging in as a user with two-factor authentication, and is used to complete the second factor.

In the affected versions, this parameter was not validated for users without configured second factors, while its presence also caused the verification of the submitted password to be skipped entirely. As a result, an attacker with access to the API could authenticate as any existing, enabled user without configured second factors (by default this includes root@pam), without knowing any credentials, by passing an arbitrary value in the 'tfa-challenge' parameter.

Exploitation requires access to the API port (8006), directly or through a reverse proxy.

Super happy to share our intention to join forces with NVIDIA in a $12,930,300,000 acquisition 💛💚

10 years after starting Hugging Face, open-source AI is at an inflection point. Thanks to the community, we’ve shown that it can be a complement, and even an alternative, to closed-source APIs. But for it to happen at larger scale, it needs more compute, more support, more collaboration and more visibility. That’s why we went to talk to Jensen, who offered to do exactly that with us.

In addition to doubling down on NVIDIA’s massive contributions to open-source AI (I called them the “King of American open-source AI” earlier this year), they’ve committed to strongly supporting Hugging Face and our mission while keeping the platform open, independent and compute agnostic. The founders and the team are all staying to keep pushing this mission forward.

Together, we think we can make open source the default way to build AI, with the goal of empowering 100 million AI builders to own their intelligence rather than rent it.

Excited about the next 10 years! 🤗🤗🤗
