Josef Prusa (@josefprusa): “BambuStudio has been violating PrusaSlicer AGPL license since their fork, with the same networking binary black box in question today. Why are they willing to burn the goodwill over it? There’s something most have sensed but never seen it all in one place, the five-law framework China built between 2017 and 2023 ⤵️ So maybe their hand is forced as their “network” is too valuable already? Each law on its own, interesting, okay… Read them together, and add any Chinese company with big reach to the mix you get the complete picture. 1) National Intelligence Law (2017) All organizations and citizens must “support, assist, and cooperate” with intelligence work. The same law makes it illegal to disclose that cooperation happened. Cooperation is mandatory, and silence about it is mandatory too. 2) Cryptography Law (2020) Commercial encryption must be state-approved and state-reviewed. When authorities request it, companies must provide decryption keys or plaintext. The state on both sides of that equation is the same one. 3) Data Security Law (2021) Article 2 gives the state extraterritorial reach over data that touches Chinese national security or public interests. So EU/US data hosting does nothing to make it safe, because jurisdiction follows the company, not the server location. 4) Counter-Espionage Law revision (2023) The general definition of espionage was expanded to cover “documents, data, materials, or items related to national security and interests.” Industrial data is one of the intended targets since the revision. 5) Network Product Security Vulnerability regulation (2021) Any company or researcher that discovers a software vulnerability must report it to MIIT within 48 hours. From there it flows to CNNVD (China National Vulnerability Database of Information Security), operated by the 13th Bureau of the Ministry of State Security. Microsoft’s threat intelligence team documented Chinese state-hacker zero-day usage rising after this took effect. Shows the willingness to use the “tools” China built. Together they describe a system with no neutral exits. Cooperation is required, encryption is real but the spare keys live at the ministry, jurisdiction follows the company across borders, industrial data is in scope, and discovered vulnerabilities flow to an intelligence agency 😬 3D printing became strategic for China in 2020 and joined the “Made in China 2025” plan soon after. Why does 3D printing matter so much? 1/x”

The VPN company says the Commercial Court of Córdoba rejected LaLiga's request for coercive fines, accepting that there was a genuine technical dispute over whether the blocking could be implemented. In February, the Commercial Court No. 1 of Córdoba labeled VPN services as “technological intermediaries,” ordering them to actively block…

Becoming a parent was not on my radar.One August evening, I had finished work late and was hurrying to a dinner reservation I had with Pete. I was rushing towards the turnstile at Union Square station when I noticed a bundle of…

Staged publishing and new install-time controls for npm

Staged publishing and new install-time controls for npm

💥 Discover this insightful post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: 💡 **What You’ll Learn**: Today we’re shipping two updates focused on supply-chain security for npm: Staged publishing is generally available. New --allow-* install source flags (--allow-file, --allow-remote, --allow-directory) complement the existing --allow-git flag. Both are available in npm CLI 11.15.0 or newer. Staged publishing is now generally available on npm. Instead of a direct publish that immediately makes a package version available to consumers, the prebuilt tarball is uploaded to a stage queue where a maintainer must explicitly approve it before it becomes installable. The queue is visible both…

✨ Discover this awesome post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: ✅ **What You’ll Learn**: Firms today are pushing employees to use as much AI as possible to squeeze out the technology’s productivity gains. But that pressure is leading to cracks, and those cracks may be irreparable.  Microsoft has reportedly begun canceling most of its direct Claude Code licenses, according to The Verge, instead moving engineers toward using GitHub Copilot CLI. That comes just six months after the firm first opened up access to Claude Code, encouraging thousands of its developers, project managers, designers, and other employees to experiment with…

Since you are now properly acquainted with K, let's do some programming. Most K programming happens through the REPL, because it is very useful to iterate upon previous code. ngn/k with rlfe has history with the up/down arrow keys, and that should be more than enough to begin developing bigger programs in K. Functions are tested in the REPL, and then moved to actual code. Note that ngn/k's prettyprinting always returns valid k…

🔥 Discover this trending post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: 💡 **What You’ll Learn**: The introduction of quantum-secure cryptography in iMessage marked the start of a significant security transition to protect Apple users from threats posed by future quantum computers. Deploying this new generation of algorithms at scale across all Apple platforms requires high assurance, so we developed rigorous new formal verification methods to prove the mathematical correctness of our implementation. With this week’s release of corecrypto, we’re publishing our implementations of quantum-secure ML-KEM and ML-DSA algorithms — along with the mathematical proofs we built to assure they are…
