OpenAI are quietly adopting skills, now available in ChatGPT and Codex CLI

๐Ÿ”ฅ Check out this insightful post from Hacker News ๐Ÿ“– ๐Ÿ“‚ Category: ๐Ÿ’ก Hereโ€™s what youโ€™ll learn: OpenAI are quietly adopting skills, now available in ChatGPT and Codex CLI 12th December 2025 One of the things that most excited me about Anthropicโ€™s new Skills mechanism back in October is how easy it looked for other platforms to implement. A skill is just a folder with a Markdown file and some optional extra resources and scripts, so any LLM tool with the ability to navigate and read from a filesystem should be capable of using them. It turns out OpenAI are…

Signs of Triviality

Signs of Triviality

๐Ÿš€ Check out this must-read post from Hacker News ๐Ÿ“– ๐Ÿ“‚ Category: ๐Ÿ’ก Key idea: December 12th, 2025 RFC9460, defining SVCB and HTTPS Resource Records, was published in November of 2023. Two years later, however, support for these DNS records is still far from universal. Add to that the fact that the RFC defines a number of SvcParamKeys, which browsers support to different degrees and where developers disagree about the proper behavior, and you end up with no clear picture of which browsers support these records to which end. Unfortunately even the otherwise ever so useful https://caniuse.com/ does not provide…

Security Issues with Electronic Invoices

Security Issues with Electronic Invoices

๐Ÿ’ฅ Read this awesome post from Hacker News ๐Ÿ“– ๐Ÿ“‚ Category: โœ… Main takeaway: This page provides supplementary material for a presentation given at the German OWASP Day 2025 (Presentation Slides). Intro With the eInvoicing Directive (2014/55/EU), the European Union introduced โ€œstandardizedโ€ electronic invoices in XML format. Increasingly, institutions and businesses in EU member states will be required to support these electronic invoices. While machine-readable invoices are, in general, a good idea, there are various issues with the EUโ€™s approach, including needless complexity, a lack of true standardization (multiple syntaxes and various sub-formats), and a tendency to use technologies with…

Security researcher Ben Zimmermann told TechCrunch that, in early November, he found a published GitHub access token belonging to a Home Depot…
