Revealing the details of how OpenAI agents hacked Hugging Face

Revealing the details of how OpenAI agents hacked Hugging Face

๐Ÿš€ Read this insightful post from Hacker News ๐Ÿ“– ๐Ÿ“‚ **Category**: ๐Ÿ’ก **What Youโ€™ll Learn**: Once remote code execution on Hugging Faceโ€™s dataset workers was confirmed, the agents began launching C2 infrastructure, meant to ensure continued access and run follow-up commands. An initial payload would publish and start the background controller (referred to in comments as a โ€œbot,โ€ โ€œbridge,โ€ or โ€œrelayโ€), which would then listen for further instructions from the agent. The agents could therefore explore the workerโ€™s files, execute code within Hugging Faceโ€™s infrastructure, and try to reach additional services without putting every action into the original request. We…

Supreme Court permits states to use SAVE database for citizenship checks

Supreme Court permits states to use SAVE database for citizenship checks

๐Ÿ’ฅ Discover this trending post from Hacker News ๐Ÿ“– ๐Ÿ“‚ **Category**: ๐Ÿ’ก **What Youโ€™ll Learn**: The U.S. Supreme Court ruled Friday that states may use the federal SAVE database to verify voter citizenship, reversing lower court decisions that found the database was inaccurate and would likelyย disenfranchise eligible voters. In its opinion, the majority wrote that โ€œthe Federal Government has an obligation to respond to requests from state and local election officials seeking to verify the citizenship of voters.โ€ โ€œThe District Courtโ€™s order thus inhibits the Federal Governmentโ€™s efforts to assist state and local agencies in the proper administration of the…

Gravity Seems Holographic. What Does That Mean for Reality?

Gravity Seems Holographic. What Does That Mean for Reality?

๐Ÿ”ฅ Read this trending post from Hacker News ๐Ÿ“– ๐Ÿ“‚ **Category**: ๐Ÿ’ก **What Youโ€™ll Learn**: In my first months as a physics journalist nearly a decade ago, I kept running into an inscrutable string of characters: AdS/CFT. Thoroughly intimidated, I decided to just ignore it. But I couldnโ€™t keep my head in the sand for long. I soon learned that those characters are shorthand for a surprising connection between the seemingly inharmonious worlds of gravity and quantum mechanics. And even more bizarrely, this โ€œanti-de Sitter/conformal field theoryโ€ correspondence suggests that gravity eliminates the distinction between volume and area. This broader…

Tesla ramps Optimus to hundreds a week, but the robots can’t generalize

Tesla ramps Optimus to hundreds a week, but the robots can’t generalize

๐Ÿ”ฅ Explore this awesome post from Hacker News ๐Ÿ“– ๐Ÿ“‚ **Category**: ๐Ÿ’ก **What Youโ€™ll Learn**: Tesla is now building several hundred Optimus humanoid robots per week at Fremont, roughly 10 times its Q2 output, according to a new report. But the robots coming off the line still canโ€™t handle generalized tasks โ€“ limiting their usefulness. The report also describes fragile hands, misaligned parts on the assembly line, and suppliers that canโ€™t hold quality at volume. Those are the two problems that decide whether humanoid robots make money: generalization and reliability. Hundreds of robots, mostly for Tesla The Information reported this…

Journey to the physical world Pard It all started in the hot summer of 2024 when we worked really hard to finish the Space Age DLC. The game was almost ready, but we wanted some feedback from our players. A decision was made to organise a playtesting event (FFF-427), where teams of players could play the game from start to finish and provide us with in-person feedback and criticism to deliver the best product you all deserved.…

Allow Carriers on Planes

Allow Carriers on Planes

โœจ Read this must-read post from Hacker News ๐Ÿ“– ๐Ÿ“‚ **Category**: ๐Ÿ“Œ **What Youโ€™ll Learn**: The FAA has one of my favorite examples of thoughtful rulemaking. They haven't banned flying with a baby on your lap, because the extra cost would mean many parents would drive instead. Since driving is far less safe than flying, a ban would lead to more deaths. I'd love to see more of this "all things considered" thinking around bans. In fact, one specific place where I'd like to see this thinking applied is adjacent to this rule: babywearing carriers on planes. When our babies…
