153. The coming industrialisation of exploit generation with LLMs
Recently I ran an experiment where I built agents on top of Opus 4.5 and GPT-5.2 and then challenged them to write exploits for a zeroday vulnerability in the QuickJS Javascript interpreter. I added a variety of modern exploit mitigations, various constraints (like assuming an unknown heap starting state, or forbidding hardcoded offsets in the…

158. Notes on Apple's Nano Texture
2024 Nano Texture Macbook Pro on the left; 2021 Glossy Macbook Pro on the right TLDR: the Nano Texture performs wonderfully anywhere where light used to be a factor and used to force me to shade my screen or avoid the place entirely. I’m less concerned with where I sit indoors. Coffee shops / offices with skylights or intense lighting are much more comfortable Coding and working outside is now feasible: browsing the internet, writing in Obsidian; all delightful The screen needs more effort to keep clean than a normal screen and comes with a special wipe that needs to be used instead of microfiber Black text on white background (light mode) is considerably more readable than white text on black background (dark mode) Overall a massive step forward for outdoor computing Big thanks to Julie Kruger for the comparison photos and CJ for draft feedback.

168. Google Meet Reactions: Reverse Engineering the WebRTC Channel for Emoji
I spend a lot of time in Google Meet — sometimes 3-4 hours a day. Google recently added a ton of new emoji reactions, and we use them actively. But the UX for finding them is… not great. Colleagues keep sending cool new emoji, and I struggle to find that exact one they just used. Of course, an enthusiastic programmer can break improve any UX! The result is Google Meet Reactions, an extension that adds instant search right into Meet’s interface. Most importantly for me — it remembers which emoji I use and which ones my colleagues send, and boosts them in search results. Your browser does not support the video tag.
