Railway detected unauthorized access to customer environment variables, potentially exposing API keys and credentials. Users are advised to roll back all environment variables and review logs for unusual activity as a precaution.
LLMs can generate confidence scores but these are not trustworthy as they don't reflect the model's accuracy. A true confidence score comes from a rule that turns information into a score, which is calibrated against actual outcomes.
This style guide provides guidelines for using the Rust programming language at Google, aiming to achieve consistency and quality across codebases. The document covers various aspects of Rust coding, including API design, module organization, naming conventions, error handling, and more.
Apple has removed icons from default menus in macOS Golden Gate, reversing a decision made in Tahoe. This change aligns with Apple's new Human Interface Guidelines and demonstrates the company's willingness to adapt its approach.
Rust is working on making smart pointers more flexible by exposing the compiler's internal notion of a "place" to user code, allowing for more intuitive and safe handling of complex pointer types. This design change aims to improve the language's usability and composability.
+ - Add `--emudhra` option to sign TLS certificates with a compromised eMudhra intermediate CA key. - Fix the WBXML contentview raising a `KeyError` on tags that are missing from the code page, + # Compromised eMudhra intermediate CA (EM OV TLS CA - G3C, d=4) and cross-signed root (emSign Root TLS CA - G3),
Meta ordered to pay $25 billion in penalties by a New Mexico court for violating state data privacy laws stemming from the Cambridge Analytica scandal. The penalty is related to 43 million violations of the state's unfair practices act, with each transgression carrying a civil penalty as high as $5,000.
