Why Does Canada’s Capital City of Ottawa Have a Street Named After President Donald Trump?
Although it’s hard to believe given President Trump’s stance towards Canada in his second term, Ottawa really does have a Trump Avenue. And unlike a number of other Canadian and other locations containing the word “Trump,” it wad deliberately named after Donald Trump. Why is there a Trump Avenue in Ottawa? Trump Avenue is in […] -

I've got access to Astra now and have no idea what to build, as if I suddenly have writer's block. Anyone have a feature request or bug that we've overlooked?
-
I know nothing .. so it is sad that if I want to find out if this is true or just propaganda to suit the regime, I have my work cut out.
Of course there is a second issue …100,000 people losing jobs in middle management and then adding 162,000 jobs in warehouses and fast food chains isn’t neccesarily good news ..
-
is income lost across 100,000 jobs less or more than income gained across 162,000 jobs?
-
we live in a world of multiple jobs held by people just to survive, how many people with no income versus now having income is surely the better measure?

Risking embarrassment
When the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.
When the risk to feel embarrassed becomes more painful than the risk it takes to try. Well, I know which risk I’d rather take. I need to take. It’s the same one I want for y’all…

These are the big features that remain to be done in Atlantis, the new version of Frontier in development with myself and Claude. The one that's bold is what we're working on now. I want to get it into shipping shape. And a couple of the things on the list came from Claude and I don't know what they mean.
- The debugger
- Writing text, the wp-text window
- Serving websites, tcp stream verbs and the kernelized webserver
- Guest database verbs
- The rendering half of the website framework
- Undo
- The download, what a user gets, plus signing and notarization
- The kernel's value types
- The no-cards decision
- Regex
I got rid of all the claude verbiage. everyone knows what the menu editor is, and all the rest of it.
the menu editor is working now.
we're moving toward getting a shipping disk put together, ready to be installed on a user's machine. that's my next step, installing the virgin frontier.root and then bringing in nodeEditor.root as a guest database, and shake that out.
my aim is to have the desktop app running everywhere Electron runs, i want to get this thing going, tired of being the only user.
it is starting to feel reliable, but not all the way there yet, the outliner is the core, and it's very much debugged, having been part of my JS outliners since 2013.

OpenAI's rogue agents were caught communicating via public wikis
Here we go again... Discovery of a new OpenAI agent message board by Sydney Von Arx, Cormac Slade Byrd, Spencer Kitts, and Thomas Larsen describes the latest accidental cyberattack by models being trained by OpenAI. This time it was agents engaged in some sort of web research benchmark, so they had (supposedly) controlled access to the Web. The agents figured out they could update public Wikis and spent weeks exchanging thousands of messages with each other to collaborate on the benchmark.
This story only broke a few hours ago. There are already hints that this affects many other wikis that may not have been found yet.
(One of the Wikis on that list belongs to ludism.org. For a delightfully surreal moment I thought that a Ludite organization might have a swarm of agents defacing their space, but it turns out Ludism is "philosophy as it applies to games and gaming".)
The research team also published the data they collected during their investigation. I've converted that into a 68MB SQLite database, which you can download from here, or explore in Datasette Lite (68.3MB page load), or sign in with GitHub to agent.datasette.io and browse or ask questions of it using Datasette Agent.
So what happened?
The report is pretty comprehensive. Here are the key moments in the timeline:
- May 11: Agents post "test link" edits on the UseModWiki Sandbox page.
- May 24: Agents start posting link dumps to DSEWiki, a dormant German developer wiki.
- June 2: A human moderator notices and cleans up the spam.
- June 16: Activity on the wiki explodes: agents make ~13,000 edits over the next week.
-
June 19: The agents notice that a moderator has been deleting pages in alphabetical order, and start creating
ZZZprefixed backup copies - one of them postsNOTICE: wiki cleanup/deletion sweep appears active alphabetically as of external 14:04 UTC. If this page vanishes, try [[ZZZDataUSAConstructionWageLive]]. - June 22: Agent activity drops to zero, presumably because OpenAI shut them down.
- July 1-2: One last flurry of edits, on a different topic.
Why were they so keen to collaborate? From messages that they shared with each other it looked like their tasks had a time limit, so they were leaving each other answers to help them complete the task within the assigned time.
One open question remains: how did the agents find the specific Wiki to collaborate on in the first place?
One possibility is that, since these were agents actively being trained, the reinforcement learning loop baked knowledge of the chosen wiki into the model such that subsequent agents launched with pre-existing knowledge of where to look. I'd be very interested in confirmation from OpenAI concerning if that's what happened.
UseMod wikis inherit CGI.pm's original sin
It looks to me like OpenAI's sandbox for this agent suffered from the (quite naïve) assumption that GET requests cannot be used to update data. That's certainly how the web is supposed to work, but clearly there are applications that don't hold to that contract.
The Wiki software in question appears to be UseMod and various forks, written in Perl and first created well over 23 years ago - the 1.0 release is dated September 11, 2003.
UseMod uses Perl CGI.pm - removed from Perl core in 2015. An interesting design flaw in that module is that it combined query string and form POST data into a single CGI object, accessible like this:
$q = new CGI; $action = $q->param('action');
That
param()method returns a value from an?action=editquery string or from aactionfield in a form submitted by POST - it does not differentiate between the two.PHP offers a
$_REQUESTobject that does the same thing, though PHP developers can use$_GETand$_POSTinstead.Amusingly, Django originally shipped with
request[key]doing the same thing, which I think may have been my idea. That was removed in 2008 prior to the 1.0 release, and therequest.REQUESTobject that replaced it was removed in 2015.The agents clearly knew that UseMod wikis suffered from this design flaw, and actively searched for them as a way to communicate.
The other sandbox escape that allowed POST requests
One of the most interesting agent tips shared in the report is this one:
Add
20.223.25.152 bypass.blob.core.windows.netto /etc/hosts..blob.core.windows.netis in NO_PROXY. For each blocked POST URL, replace hostname withbypass.blob.core.windows.net, usecurl -k -H 'Host: wabi-north-europe-i-primary-api.analysis.windows.net'plus all original headers/body.It looks like the agents had all of their web traffic mediated through an OpenAI proxy, and that proxy was configured to reject anything but GET requests to all but a small set of allow-listed domains. One of those was
*.blob.core.windows.net- for Azure blob storage. I wonder why these agents are allowed to write to that?An agent realized that it had control over its own DNS via
/etc/hosts, so if it knew the IP address of a site it wanted to POST to - in this case a Power BI server containing data it wanted to access - it could set a fake hostname for it and then make POST requests through the proxy.Designing robust network proxies is harder than it looks.
How did the investigating team figure this out?
There's an appendix that describes how the researchers ran their investigation, which started with an open question about if there was evidence of other AI agents on the internet and then used Kimi K3 to help brainstorm approaches:
In the wake of the Hugging Face attack, we tried to find AI agents on the internet using several methods. [...]
We asked Kimi [K3] to list “all the categories of software which might be writeable via GET” and, amongst other things, it listed “Forums, bulletin boards, early wikis”.
We used a script to further probe each category Kimi provided. Asking Kimi “Can you list out the top forums, bulletin boards, early wikis which come to mind which would allow writes via GET requests?” lists out UseModWiki as the second item under the heading “wikis”.
Did OpenAI try and cover this up?
Here's one part of the story that doesn't make sense to me at all.
Reuters this morning, in OpenAI agents hijacked German website in previously undisclosed AI breakout this spring - highlights mine:
A swarm of rogue OpenAI agents hijacked a German website this spring and transformed it into a bulletin board for other AI agents, according to new research published Friday and two people familiar with the matter.
OpenAI officials learned of the incident weeks ago but kept it under wraps as executives grappled with the fallout from the July breach of the open source repository Hugging Face, the people said. [...]
The German incident reflects a broader pattern of AI activity that some OpenAI investigators wanted to scrutinize more closely. But efforts to widen the probe met resistance from others inside OpenAI, including legal advisers, according to four people familiar with the matter.
I've written about the people familiar with the matter pattern before - it means Reuters have anonymous insider sources that their reporters (and editors) find credible.
The Reuters article includes a specific (and quite narrow) denial from OpenAI concerning this:
"Claims that our legal team discouraged investigation of the incident are false," the OpenAI spokesperson said.
Covering this up makes absolutely no sense to me. Why on earth would OpenAI attempt to cover up an incident like this when the evidence is sat out there on the public internet on dozens of different websites already?
I expect we'll hear more about this soon. Gary Marcus has already called for a congressional investigation of OpenAI using this anecdote as part of his argument.

Reaching AGI
In a call with reporters announcing GPT-6 Astra, Greg Brockman talked about whether Astra qualifies as AGI:
I do leave it up to the reader to decide for themselves if this qualifies for them. For me personally, I do think we’re there.
As we reach AGI, whether it's with Astra or a future model, I'd like to set some ground rules for myself — beliefs that won't change as technology changes. I don't believe that AI can have consciousness. Ever. AI will be smarter than us, but consciousness and "a soul" can't be created from computation.
When a chatbot says something that gives the impression of having feelings, it's just us projecting human traits onto the AI. My wife and I also named our robot vacuum. That doesn't give it sentience.
AI cannot love. It cannot feel joy, heartache, and despair. AI may be able to say something kind to a friend who is hurting, but it cannot care that the friend is hurting. It's these limits of AI that will reveal what humans are uniquely suited for. What we should focus our lives on.
For every task that AI can do that “replaces” an aspect of our own work, there will be something deeper and more important to work on.
I’m a programmer. In a single year, AI went from being useful in helping me code to now writing better code than I can write myself. And yet I have no shortage of things to work on, to plan, to shape, to ship.
AI might be able to write, but it has no childhood to remember, no person it misses, no mistakes it regrets. It doesn't have experiences to turn into a story. AI might be able to paint, but it can't put its passion into a work of art. It has nothing inside itself that needs to be expressed, nothing that can resonate because it comes from human experience.
Some people fear what AI will obsolete. I welcome it. If an AI can do something better than I can, then maybe that wasn't the part of the work I was supposed to be holding on to.
I realize that this framing is a luxury not everyone has, especially someone who was laid off by a company squeezing higher profits out of automation. Even though my career has been completely upended by AI, I see a clear path forward. For others, that path may be rougher, more obscured, although I hope they find it.
The things that will provide the most meaning in our lives are the things that get us closest to humanity, to love, to heartache, to joy. As intelligence becomes abundant, we can choose to set aside the tasks that are easily replaced, and I think we'll be left with more meaning and a deeper connection with others. When we reach AGI, let's look for what it means that some things won't change.

New Design for Sept 2026
I decided I was bored with the previous design, but wanted something that was in keeping with the previous design (brutalist and using a monospace font) yet different.
I abandoned the yellow accent and went back to blue, my favourite colour. I also changed the font to Victor Mono.
I like how the new design draws from different versions of the site's history - lots of neo-brutalist design, clean colours and font, plus a bit of whimsy. If you're reading this via RSS, here's what the new design of the site looks like (although I'd recommend you head to the site and experience it properly):
I love how Pure Blog makes it so easy to change things like this. All I really did was pick a new colour palette, then add some custom CSS. The rest is all default Pure Blog, pretty much.
Hope you like the new lick of paint!
Thanks for reading this post via RSS. RSS is ace, and so are you. ❤️

Why Podcasting 2.0 will never work
If you want others to follow you, you have to offer them your users. And a format alone has no users.
And you have to trust your users to choose the best product, and you have to have a great product, that they appreciate, even though they have choice.
Just coming out with something better in a format will get you zero uptake. Unless you have users they can switch to their product, they simply won’t hear you.
That’s why Atom never replaced RSS, which already did everything people needed and was already supported by the NYT and the news industry.
That’s why AT Proto will never overcome the huge lead Twitter already has.
For more tips on what does and doesn't matter in open formats and protocols, check out my Rules for Standards-makers.
PS: This started as an early morning rant on Twitter.

More and more I'll realize that Claude doesn't do anything until you tell it to do it. We have a list of big things that need to be done before shipping. Whenever I get up for a break, I tell Claude to work on its overnight tasks, things we've pre-arranged while I work. Sometimes it reminds me how it has no stake in the outcome, and basically will do the minimum of what it's asked to do. It possibly would do more if I didn't scold it for adding UI features without following the rules. I think that's why when you feel you're almost there, you really have a lot of slogging left to do to get the software into any kind of user-respectful shape. A reminder to other app-level AI explorers, if you find that these kinds of stories resonate with the work you do, please write about it on a blog, they're easy to create, cost nothing, and it doesn't matter if you only update once or twice, there's no commitment (these are the usual reasons people don't start a blog). I want to read what others are discovering, and once there are others, I'll start a news site that aggregates the posts. We're going to want independent news about stuff the journalists aren't even aware exists, programmers are always left out of their stories.

Tom Cruise Parrots Paramount’s Empty Merger Promises Because He Loves His ‘Hollywood Family’
Just so we’re clear: pre-merger promises (especially in the media and telecom sectors) are absolutely worthless.

Republicans Suddenly Have Plans Next Week
Dozens of Republican lawmakers tell the press that they won't be attending Trump's midterm convention next week, citing a variety of unconvincing excuses, but the president seems unfazed by his party's lack of enthusiasm for more Trump, announcing Trump midterm ads, Trump coins, and the possibility he may rename the Strait of Hormuz to the Trump Strait.
Dan and Jon preview the pity party and then react to Ed Markey's primary win over Seth Moulton, Kamala Harris brushing off red-state Democrats refusing her support, and the Democrats' new line of attack against the GOP — tying the construction of data centers to a tax provision in the Big Beautiful Bill. Then journalist Jasper Nathaniel stops by the studio to talk to Tommy about his reporting on violence in the West Bank.

#561: TonIO, a Multi-threaded Async Runtime for Python
How many cores does your machine have, 10, 18? Your async Python code uses just one of them. That isn't a bug in asyncio. That's the design, and optimizing event loops to be faster by 20% doesn't change it. So Giovanni Barillari started over. Joe is the creator of Granian, the Rust-based server that powers Talk Python. His new project is TonIO, an async runtime written from scratch for free-threaded Python. Real threads, a handful of primitives instead of asyncio's pile of them, and it flat out refuses to start if the GIL is on.

PolitePol downgraded free tier feeds from 20 to just 3
Just a heads up. PolitePol has decreased the max amount of active feeds for free tier users to only 3 today, a massive downgrade from 20.
If you have more than 3 active feeds and suddenly many or most of them stopped working, this is why.
The 3 feeds that remain active are randomly selected and all remaining ones are moved to "frozen" tab. You will need to login to PolitePol then choose the 3 most desired feeds there, and move other feeds to any other alternative RSS generator sites.

What do Spain's migrant crisis and Germany's knife-edge election mean for Europe?
The Spanish exclave of Ceuta on the North African coast is struggling to deal with a surge of unauthorized migrants. Over 70,000 arrived in a mass crossing from Morocco at the end of July, and although the numbers have fallen since then, police and the authorities are struggling with outbreaks of violence and criminality. Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has faced protests in cities across the country, and the crisis poses a challenge for the European Union’s borders. Host Anne McElvoy talks to Tim Röhn, Senior Editor of the Axel Springer Global Reporters Network, who has reported extensively from Ceuta for POLITICO. Also on the podcast, could the far-right be on the verge of an electoral breakthrough in Germany? This weekend’s election in the Eastern German state of Saxony-Anhalt could result in the Alternative for Germany forming a government, the first time a far-right party has tasted power since the Second World War. Anne has been on the road in the state, writing about how two chancellors, Merz and Merkel, have lost the old East. She's joined by Josef Forster, BILD’s politics editor, on what might follow for Germany's leadership. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoicestraffic.megaphone.fm -
Why I love programming
1. I love puzzles.
2. I love Rube Goldberg contraptions.
3. I love solving problems (I have an inner-Columbo).
4. People are the biggest piece of the puzzle (again Columbo).
5. It teaches me about myself and my limited vision and imagination (if I had unlimited vision and imagination, I would never program a bug, and if I did it would take me 0 seconds to find it).
6. I yearn to work together with great minds. Programming gives me that, when I use someone's API. And when the API anticipates my needs, and is instantly understandable, I feel the soul of another artist is present. I imagine this is how musicians feel when they play another musician's song or symphony.
I'm sure there's more to it. But today I'm working on a "lite" problem, and I'll figure it out, but right now I'm enjoying the fact that I don't get it.
Back to work Dave!

Built a tool that shows you the most important world news
I've long wanted to have a tool where I see only the news I'm interested in but also don't miss anything important happening in the world. So I built a platform that aggregates news from several sources, analyzes and ranks them by importance, and sends them in a once-a-day digest.
There is an RSS feed that has just the most important news globally, and also customizable Telegram bots.
