$500K stolen via fake AI coding extension

A $500,000 crypto heist was carried out using a malicious open-source package called Solidity Language, which was disguised as a code highlighting extension. The package was installed on a blockchain developer's computer, allowing attackers to steal crypto assets by executing PowerShell scripts and gaining remote control of the system. The attack highlights the growing threat of malicious open-source packages and the importance of scrutinizing code before installation.

Nuclear Explosion for Carbon Sequestration

A proposal has been put forth to use a buried nuclear explosion in a remote seabed to pulverize basalt, accelerating carbon sequestration through Enhanced Rock Weathering and potentially making a significant impact on atmospheric carbon levels. The approach, although unconventional, is argued to be feasible with careful planning and execution, and could reimagine nuclear technology as a tool for decarbonization and combating climate change.

Dynamic Chunking for End-to-End Hierarchical Sequence Modeling

Researchers have introduced a new technique called dynamic chunking, which enables language models to learn content- and context-dependent segmentation strategies, allowing for true end-to-end models that eliminate the need for pre-processing steps like tokenization. The resulting hierarchical network (H-Net) outperforms traditional token-based language models, demonstrating improved performance, robustness, and data efficiency, particularly in languages and modalities with weaker tokenization heuristics.
