Who Runs the Ransomware Group Qilin?
The cybercrime group Qilin has emerged as the world's most active ransomware affiliate program, claiming at least 365 victim organizations in the past three months alone. But even top Russian hackers make operational security mistakes, and the administrator of Qilin has made a few key missteps over the last decade that all point to a 36-year-old man living in St. Petersburg, Russia.
Tests as data: ensuring AI-generated code does what we want
Automated testing in the age of AI coding assistants is problematic: when AI agents write both production and test code, developers risk losing the assurance that automated tests protect against functional errors. Matteo Vaccari makes three claims: (1) when AI writes the code, developers become its customers; (2) therefore customer tests, not developer tests, become the primary contract between humans and AI; (3) moving that contract into test data rather than test code makes it easier to protect it from unexpected modifications by coding agents. All of this optimizes for human-readable tests
Anthropic's IPO roadshow video
Anthropic's IPO roadshow video Anthropic kicked off their IPO roadshow yesterday, and their roadshow video has some previously unreleased information about how their business works. The section on "Approach to compute" with co-founder Tom Brown is particularly interesting, describing how Anthropic train and serve Claude across AWS Trainium, Google TPUs, NVIDIA GPUs, and AMD GPUs. I'm not sure why there's no official video transcript, but here's one that I extracted using MacWhisper. Highlights below: We train and serve Claude now across all four major chip families. That's only possible becaus
llm 0.37.2
Release: llm 0.37.2 Fixes a security issue reported by Daniel de Araujo in GHSA-v9h7-jj4g-f862 and GHSA-r639-rr7r-x72w . LLM has a mechanism called extra-openai-models.yaml - now managed by the new-in-0.37 llm openai endpoint add command - for using LLM with OpenAI-compatible API endpoints from other providers. Daniel reported two ways this could accidentally send your configured OpenAI API key to one of those providers: if the key named by api_key_name had never been stored, or if a responses: true model was run with -o chat_completions 1 .

Browse tools.simonwillison.net by tag
Browse tools.simonwillison.net by tag I've been wanting a better way to browse my collection of vibe-coded tools (244 and counting) for a while. I had a few Fable 5.2 credits left over before my weekly reset so I set it to work using tree-sitter to analyze the code for JavaScript APIs, libraries, and web API hosts used by each tool. The homepage now features tag clouds for browsing by each of those categories of tag: Tags: javascript , tools , ai , generative-ai , llms , claude , vibe-coding
‘Dangerous or Unusual’
Mike McIntire and Eli Murray, reporting for The New York Times (gift link) For nearly two decades, judges across the country have invoked this language to strike down gun-control laws. It is a pivotal legal test. It is also based on a misquote. Justice Antonin Scalia, writing for the majority in the 2008 case, District of Columbia v. Heller, attributed the “dangerous and unusual” language to Sir William Blackstone, an 18th-century English jurist whose writings became the basis for much of American law. But in his seminal 1769 treatise, “Commentaries on the Laws of England,” Blackstone referred
