bobkb··on Anthropic's open-source framework for AI-powered vulnerability discovery
I think these audit tools can look beyond just security and can look for compliance audits as well. The ability to audit real targets in staging environments makes it easy to identify issues.

Very interesting.

I have working on and using a similar tool for a while now :

https://github.com/bobinson/vulture

I have been struggling with false positives and using Claude + MCP as a poor man’s audit tool. As of last few days found better result with nvidia hosted models.

bobkb··on Malicious npm packages detected across Red Hat Cloud Services
When will npm issues stop ? This has become a big pain !
bobkb··on DeepSeek reasonix, DeepSeek native coding agent with high caching and low cost
That’s impressive!

On the sheer performance it’s comparable to Opus ?

bobkb··on SANA-WM, a 2.6B open-source world model for 1-minute 720p video
Agreed the marketing angle. But beyond the marketing angle what seems to matter is the access to data - look at Seedance , various Kling models etc which are far ahead of others.

The trouble is the lack of training available to these models compared to the ones like Seedance and Kling who seems to be tapping into their unlimited video inventory. Many models like LTX is technically good but when it comes to slightly different camera movements or the subject interacting with objects they struggle. For a recent example we had to use sample videos generated by closed source models and then use the same for final video.
bobkb··on The Boring Part of Bell Labs (2025)
Nostalgic alumni here :)
bobkb··on Bun's experimental Rust rewrite hits 99.8% test compatibility on Linux x64 glibc
This is a manual rewrite or auto generation ?
bobkb··on Vibe coding and agentic engineering are getting closer than I'd like
While those who are hands on is realising the limits and issues with vibe/context engineering/agentic engeering/buzz-word-of-the-week the businesses and pushing hard on the buzz words. It’s high time we start looking at ways to live with the new reality and figure out ways to ensure software reliability.
bobkb··on AISLE Discovers 38 CVEs in OpenEMR Healthcare Software
I had reviewed this application long ago to find tons of issues - not surprised many of it are now CVEs. I am also surprised that the product is still active.
bobkb··on Google plans to invest up to $40B in Anthropic
They have recently added Veo and family and pretty much everything under Vertex branding to Gemini enterprise
bobkb··on Pgbackrest is no longer being maintained
So sad. We have been using this amazing project extensively
bobkb··on Tell HN: An app is silently installing itself on my iPhone every day
You had previously installed this application?
bobkb··on Open source memory layer so any AI agent can do what Claude.ai and ChatGPT do
There is already memory palace ?
bobkb··on Google plans to invest up to $40B in Anthropic
I wonder what happens to the “Gemini enterprise”. Will it do a Google plus or Google wave ?
bobkb··on An update on recent Claude Code quality reports
Resuming sessions after more than 1 hour is a very common workflow that many teams are following. It will be great if this is considered as an expected behaviour and design the UX around it. Perhaps you are not realising the fact that Claude code has replaced the shells people were using (ie now bash is replaced with a Claude code session).
bobkb··on Anonymous request-token comparisons from Opus 4.6 and Opus 4.7
‘effort high/max’ seems to be working though
bobkb··on Anonymous request-token comparisons from Opus 4.6 and Opus 4.7
> Opus 4.6 DISABLE_ADAPTIVE_THINKING=1

Strangely this option was not working for many of us on a team plan

bobkb··on Open Source Isn't Dead
Thank you. I have been thinking about the same approach. However my worry is the open source libraries often gets more eyeballs and CPU cycles and ends up much more refined over a period of time.
bobkb··on Codex for almost everything
Helps with code reviews, plan reviews etc. I have found it very useful to auditing with multiple providers.
bobkb··on Claude Design
The design process was completely dictated by Figma. After the demise of Adobe XD, Invison etc they were the only option. Happy to see alternatives entering to save us from the curse of Figma !
bobkb··on Codex for Almost Everything
Using Claude and Codex side by side now . Would love to just use one eventually
bobkb··on Open Source Isn't Dead
Interesting - I am interested to know how’s it impacting the codebase size interms of lines of code.
