The Matrix v0.1 ALPHA
(full fruit fly brain simulation plus simplified embodiment by Eon Systems)

Scale it 1000000 times larger to fit the human brain and optimists get immortality, pessimists get digital prison.

⚠️ PSA: LiteLLM 1.82.7, 1.82.8 on PyPI has been hacked and contains code that extracts credentials etc from the machine where it runs then self-replicates

IoCs:
File: litellm_init.pth (34,628 bytes) in site-packages/
File: ~/.config/sysmon/sysmon.py
File: ~/.config/systemd/user/sysmon.service
Domain: models.litellm[.]cloud
K8s: node-setup-* pods in kube-system


always pin your dependency versions.

PSA: npm axios package has been hacked, unlike LiteLLM if you do frontend you probably DO use it;
npm pins package version by default but at least def dont npm i axios rn.

bun has minimumReleaseAge; also i've arrived at radical golang-style dependency vendoring via npm pack if I don't foresee them updated often

how coding agents might just unlock a whole new sphere of creativity
https://andymatuschak.org/tat/
To invent a new user interface, you need both imaginative design skill and fluent technical skill. Very few people possess both. ... also requires deep domain insight. I think of Steinberg inventing the timeline editor in Cubase after years as a musician and producer, or Bricklin inventing the dynamic spreadsheet while at Harvard Business School.
this is getting boring, but
PyPi lightning 2.6.2/2.6.3 (a dependency of pyannote-audio, you maybe use it if you do speech recognition) and npm intercom-client 7.0.4 compromised (maintainers hacked)

interesting writeup on inference economics

tldr it doesn't scale as good as "regular web services" where it's possible but hard to get to 80-90% utilization, and is more like 40-50% even with an idealized load

nice way to reduce port conflicts.
i also use unix sockets for that, where the servers/clients support them (eg Golang ones)
