You're not wrong, but one thing about scammy developers is they tend to be ballsy and not covert. The Koi blog covers all the egregious code specifically for exfilling LLM conversations. This stuff is a walking red flag if it was in a

Chrome extension codebases are fairly basic, I think there's room to build an agentic code scanner for these, but the juice probably isn't worth the squeeze to justify for them $$$-wise. Manual reviews I agree are expensive and di

I wouldn’t be surprised if it goes away - it’s very “old Google”. We’re moving more towards walled gardens.

Google needs to act on removing these extensions/doing more thorough code reviews. Reputability is everything, and they can be actually valuable (e.g. LastPass, my own extension Ward) There has to be a better system. Maybe a public ext

I'm working on Ward, a Chrome extension that detects browser scams/phishing using lightweight LLM models. Our target persona is elders, young children, and anyone who's not as tech savvy. When explaining it to people, I call

That was my hesitation too. I’ll say, the new generations are extremely solid. It’s like sending a Kindle book via email from your PC if you’ve ever done it. Will definitely do a follow up in a couple months as well

Saving cash is definitely one argument, but you’re right in that it would probably take a few months to years to pay off depending on how much/what you print. The real value today is in sustainability & impact - something you can’t

We’re looking to improve signal and reduce noise for energy traders. Currently, power is a niche market that relies heavily on day-ahead forecasts to set prices for energy contracts. When they’re actually exercised, it can be problematic fo

I’m working on https://askcrystal.info . We’re a government dataset aggregator in our very early stages. We’re looking to expand into API use cases, e.g. grounding LLM responses. Would love to get feedback and connect with others

There's a lot of confusion around MCP security. This Wiz brief is the most accurate I've found thus far.

How do your devs feel about this in regards to their career? Are they worried about their DSA/coding skills atrophying? Not knocking, just genuinely curious.

Not to be a stickler, but the blog isn't actually FULLY hosted on the Wii until you move that Caddy instance to it or drop it :) Nice work.

Disclaimer as a friend of the author - but this is slick looking! I also like how I don't need to pay the New York Times to access Graphs. I enjoy the basic feature a lot but I'd love to see a secondary challenge of identifying wh

Awful look for this company. Imagine international students /H1B holders who turned down other offers to join Flexport, and now may not have enough time to get another offer before needing to permanently leave in 60 days.
