Last Thursday, Deepmind released Magenta Realtime 2 , an open source music generation model. They said it could run on Mac, but not iPhone.As a v̵i̵b̵e̵ ̵c̵o̵d̵i̵n̵g̵ ̵a̵d̵d̵i̵c̵t̵ agentic AI maxxi and person who has melted iPhones before (link at bottom), I took that as a personal challenge and made it my weekend project.On Saturday, I got it to run for 10min straight on an iPhone 12 Pro from 2020 without melting the phone or - shockingly - touching the GPU.How? I chopped the model up into 5 pi

The Marine Corps is creating a new primary military occupational specialty for scouts starting on Oct. 1, Corps officials announced on Tuesday.The new Marine Scout field, which will have a military occupational speciality, or MOS, code of 0315, will make up a “26-Marine Scout Platoon” within infantry battalions, with “Scout Teams” being added to light armored reconnaissance battalions, reads a Marine Corps news release. Scout platoons are equipped with advanced optics, co
A geyser of water shot into the air when the decommissioned amphibious transport dock USS Juneau was struck by a torpedo fired by the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force as part of a live-fire ship sinking exercise, photos recently posted by the U.S. military show.The torpedo was the final salvo used to sink the Juneau earlier this month as part of Valiant Shield, a biennial exercise with U.S. and allied forces, said Lt. Cmdr. Katie Koenig, director of the Combined, Joint Information Bureau for
An old friend pinned a Special Forces tab onto Terry McIntosh’s blue blazer earlier this month during an impromptu celebration at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. The tab was a gift from Al Kittredge, a retired Special Forces officer, who presented it to McIntosh to mark the Army’s decision to formally acknowledge McIntosh’s status as an 18-year-old Special Forces soldier in 1968.In March, Army officials altered McIntosh’s personnel record to retroactively award him the tab, v
I am a big Dragon Age fan and sunk hundreds of hours into Inquisition. It had this minigame called astrariums where you had to solve these shapes based on constellation guides by tracing stars. I'm a hobby game dev and wondered if I could procedurally generate these puzzles so they were always solvable. Turns out you can, so I built a space puzzle game around it with a colorful aesthetic. I released it in web form here but I'm currently working on getting it on Steam and mobile.
I helped create Witness, donated it to the CNCF/in-toto ecosystem, and worked on the NIST 800-204D "pipeline observer" guidance. CI/Lock is the next version of that work, and it's under the Apache 2.0 license.<p>Here's the gap it closes. In March, two supply-chain attacks hit within a week of each other. Someone force-pushed 75 of 76 version tags in aquasecurity/trivy-action, so every pipeline that had pinned to a tag (the thing we all tell people to do) pulled credential-stealing code on its next run. It read secrets from/proc/<pid>/environ and sent them to a typosquat. A few days later, two litellm releases on PyPI carried a stealer in a .pth file, which Python runs on startup. You didn't have to import it. If the package touched the machine, the code already ran.<p>Both attacks had the same shape: CI ran code it had no reason to trust, with credentials it had no reason to hold, and afterward nobody could prove what actually executed. You could read the workflow file. You couldn't prove what ran.<p>CI/Lock wraps a command and records what really happened: the command, the files it reads, the environment, and the artifacts it produces. Then it signs that as an in-toto/DSSE attestation. It's a notary standing next to each build step.<p><pre><code> cilock run -- go build -o app ./... cilock verify ./app -p release.policy.signed -k policy.pub </code></pre> The policy is signed by a person, with their key, and it says what's allowed to ship. One line matters most to me: the agent writing your code this week (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor) can run the build, gather the evidence, and draft the release, but it can't sign the policy, so it can't decide what ships. "The agent did it" is not provenance.<p>What's changed since I left Witness:<p>Keyless by default. In GitHub Actions it signs off the runner's OIDC token. No login, no stored secret, no long-lived key to leak. You don't stand up Fulcio or a timestamp authority yourself; one flag derives the hosted endpoints. You can also bring your own key and storage, or run fully offline.<p>It records what ran, not what you declared. ptrace by default (portable, no root), plus an eBPF backend that traces at the kernel boundary; it logs which one fired. Every file each process opens lands in the attestation, so a Rego policy can fail the build on the credential-sweep pattern, like a read of /proc/self/environ. Tracing added about 36% to an npm install in our tests.<p>Per-file digests get committed to an RFC 6962 Merkle root, so you get a real inclusion proof per artifact and a 29,000-file npm install doesn't turn into a 10 MB envelope.<p>It speaks Witness in both directions. Anything Witness produced verifies under cilock, and cilock's shared attestors verify back under Witness, so it drops in next to what you already run. There are 50-plus attestors, each its own Go module, so you can build a binary with only the ones you use.<p>What it is not: cilock is forensic, not a runtime IPS. Detection happens after a step runs, so if that step exfiltrates secrets while it executes, the exfiltration already happened. Cilock blocks the release and leaves a tamper-evident record of it. It watches network egress (connect and sendto syscalls, destination, DNS, TLS SNI) but doesn't block traffic inline the way Harden-Runner does. The trace mode is Linux-only and opt-in.<p>Install:<p><pre><code> go install github.com/aflock-ai/rookery/cilock/cmd/cilock@latest </code></pre> Your first signed build takes about a minute. Code is at github.com/aflock-ai/rookery.<p>I'll be in the thread today. Ask me anything about the attestation format, the keyless trust model, or how it relates to Witness.dev
