🚨 CRITICAL - Unauthenticated RCE in React Server Components (GHSA-xqc2-xf4c-x3h3)
A critical vulnerability in React Server Components packages (react-server-dom-webpack, react-server-dom-turbopack, react-server-dom-parcel) allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted RSC Flight payload responses transporting multiple typed arrays and attacker-controlled values.
👉 Affected: Versions 19.0.0–19.0.8, 19.1.0–19.1.9, 19.2.0–19.2.8, 19.3.0 | Upgrade immediately to 19.0.9, 19.1.10, 19.2.9, or 19.3.1 (or Next.js 16.4.1 / 15.5.28)

一个31岁的中国男生在Mercari上捡了个漏，日本仙台卖家出的翻新联想笔记本。卖家说自己马上要去深圳上班，电脑带不走，便宜处理。他就拍下了。
几天后包裹到了，拆开一看，除了电脑和电源线，就一张英文便利贴，上面写着：打开它。开机，桌面上孤零零躺着一个视频文件。点开，一个戴眼镜的日本男生捧着东西，对着镜头鞠躬道谢，最后敬了个礼。
他发了条动态吐槽，说买二手电脑还附赠诡异视频。48小时直接爆了，180万播放。评论区分成两派：日本网友感慨礼貌，中国网友全在刷同一句话：暂停0分42秒。42秒那儿，电脑边角露出个浏览器窗口，地址栏显示着一个实时运行的加密货币钱包。
gabagool22，86.8万美金利润，28620笔交易。
钱包：polymarket.com/zh-hant/@gaba…
这根本不是卖家粗心，是精心设计的资产交接。
日本卖家拿到了深圳offer，但国内KYC实名认证他过不了。要么关停8个月的交易系统，要么把AI程序锁在电脑里留给下一个人。聪明人选第二条。
仙台男生大学就摸透了时间差漏洞：东京早盘比纽约早30分钟反应。他搭了套Claude智能代理，监控东京订单流，行情先动就开单，15分钟短线套利平仓。两万多笔几乎全绿。最大一笔4696美金，成交瞬间电脑正漂在太平洋上。
更吓人的是溯源。脚本源头是个14岁深圳少年半年前传GitHub的，当时评委说没有落地价值。仙台男生就是fork代码迭代的人之一。火了后卖家发来私信：Keep it running。
便利贴不是善意叮嘱，是交接指令。视频不是礼貌告别，是资产移交仪式。敬的是AI资产，不是买家。
AI只绑定最后一次运行的硬件。人换身份会被限制，代码不会停。到现在那台几百块的二手联想还在昼夜运行，86万账户还在涨。
日本网友还在感叹礼貌，只有中国人看懂了这套认知套利。

این تحلیلگر چینی در مورد جنگ ۴۰ روزه هم پیش بینی های دقیقی کرده بود طبق گفته هاش هفته آینده جنگ شروع میشه و آمریکا حمله میکنه 🤦🏻♂️
🚨未来15天。逐日推演。这是我的预测。请收藏。
特朗普刚刚失去了众议院和参议院的控制权。他自己的副总统直言：“我们之所以落败，是因为这场战争。”
内塔尼亚胡也失去了多数席位，他所在的阵营距离61席的多数门槛还差一些。
两位领导人，都因这场战争而失势。如今，他们已无所顾忌，再无什么可失去的了。
📅 未来48小时
→ 美国中央司令部（CENTCOM）为期3天的打击计划已准备就绪。该地区目前部署有3艘航空母舰。
→ 特朗普称：“我们已蓄势待发。”对于所谓“目前没有立即采取行动的计划”这种说法，我一个字都不信。
📅 第3-4天
→ 第一波打击：针对导弹基地、无人机工厂、伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队（IRGC）指挥中心及能源设施。
→ 伊朗展开反击，目标包括美军基地、沙特石油设施以及阿联酋的炼油厂。
→ 油价一夜之间从102美元飙升至150美元。
📅 第5-7天
→ “镐山”（Pickaxe Mountain）——纳坦兹（Natanz）附近的地下隧道设施。特朗普此前已明确点名该地点。
→ 常规炸弹无法摧毁它，这正是为何现在人们开始公开讨论“核选项”的原因。
→ 伊朗国家电视台已开始向9000万民众传授应对措施——“如果看到强烈的闪光，该怎么办”。
📅 第8-10天
→ 伊朗目前仍持有440公斤丰度为60%的浓缩铀，足以制造10枚核弹。
→ 伊朗议员已提议将浓缩铀丰度提升至90%。
→ 霍尔木兹海峡彻底关闭，胡塞武装封锁红海。两大战略咽喉要道同时中断。
→ 油价触及200美元。
📅 第11-13天
→ 美国各地汽油价格突破8美元/加仑。航空公司削减航班，卡车运输陷入停滞。
→ 日本、韩国和印度率先面临燃料短缺。
→ 股市回调演变为全面崩盘。
📅 第14-15天
→ 新一届国会试图削减战争经费（尽管他们要到1月份才正式掌权）。
→ 内塔尼亚胡以“战时总理”的身份继续留任。没人会在战争进行到一半时更换领导人。
→ 铀的最终去向只有两种可能：被销毁，或者被制成炸弹。没有第三种选择。
他们输掉了投票。现在，他们必须在1月份之前赢得这场战争。
这是我的判断。每一步行动背后，都有相应的计划、目标或引述作为支撑。
请收藏此文，11月20日再回来看看。
各方渠道都将本周形容为“谈判前的平静”。关注我，获取不带任何偏见与修饰的真相；并将此文转发给那些依然认为战争即将平息的人。

If your employer is offering you a buyout, let me explain what is happening a bit....
And before I get into $MSFT Microsoft, here's something I've been telling people for years.
Start treating every job like a temporary job.
I don't care how long you've been there, how good your reviews are, or how much your boss loves you. Keep your resume current. Keep your network alive. Know what you're worth outside the company. And always know where your next opportunity might come from.
You don't have to be actively interviewing every week. But you should never be starting from zero when your employer decides it's time for you to go.
It's a hell of a lot better to leave on your own terms than to find yourself negotiating an exit you never saw coming.
As for the buyouts... companies don't put voluntary exit programs in front of thousands of employees because they're feeling generous.
They're trying to reduce headcount. Voluntarily is cheaper, cleaner, and considerably less disruptive than forcing people out.
And here's what employees consistently underestimate...the company has already made a decision about its workforce. You're still trying to decide whether it includes you. STOP right there.
There have been numerous buyouts in 2026... the Microsoft one is the latest and biggest... and they are offering buyouts to roughly 60,000 employees. That doesn't mean 60,000 layoffs are coming. (well I think it will be close on exits over the next 6-8 months) BUT it does mean that management has opened the door to a workforce reduction on a massive scale.
If too few people walk through it, management still has other options.
As Mark mentioned below... he has seen too many executives convince themselves they're too valuable, too experienced, too connected, or too important to lose. Then they're absolutely stunned when their position disappears. This hits at all levels, not just exec too.
Your tenure is not a protection plan. Your title is not a protection plan. And your relationship with leadership is certainly not a protection plan.
My advice? TAKE THE DAMN BUYOUT. Review the terms, your equity, healthcare, and what you'd receive if you waited. Because the worst time to start negotiating your future is after your employer has decided it no longer needs your job.
And please stop confusing being valuable to a company with being indispensable to its next strategy. Those are two very different things.
Serious question: How many of you would turn down a buyout because you genuinely believe your company couldn't afford to lose you?
Former VP, HR at Microsoft Discusses 60,000 Employee Buyout Offer – Take the buyout or wait for the RIF? Great question!
The buyout is to see who will go away quietly. For those that don’t, the only question is whether they are on the upcoming RIF list.
Reminds me of MGM2020 when 1,070 MGM executives were terminated. Mostly senior level corporate people. Several told me, “I was so surprised to be laid off.”
What? CEO Jim Murren telegraphed it for a year. How could you possibly be surprised? Ohhhh! You are so valuable and indispensable that MGM could never survive without you!
Let me think about it…nope. @Amanda_Goodall

Revolut: Europe's most valuable startup ($200B) just showed the world its AI strategy.
Every company will end up copying it.
At the start of this year, Revolut leaned on the frontier labs. Its 2,000 engineers used Claude Code and Codex, and some burned $1,000 to $10,000 a month each. The bills kept climbing, and the returns weren't there.
So Revolut switched its default to an open-source model called GLM. All it needs is GPUs, which it rents from Together AI.
The results, by Revolut's own count:
- The bill is about a tenth of what it paid OpenAI and Anthropic
- Engineers get unlimited tokens instead of spending caps
- Coding time is down 60% and lead time is down 70%
That's the chart below.
Revolut still uses Claude and GPT, but only as "the exception," for the tasks they do best. Everything else runs on open source.
So here's the question I keep coming back to: how many use cases can companies really justify sending to frontier models?
My answer is very few. Plenty of companies still route everything to OpenAI and Anthropic today. For how long?
I think open source ends up handling the vast majority of corporate AI work, and frontier models get a short list of the hardest jobs. That's a problem for labs whose revenue forecasts assume unlimited growth.
If you appreciate unpopular takes, follow me @m0xt_ for more.

Many software engineers are fatalistic about company politics.
ALT Many software engineers are fatalistic about company politics. They believe that it’s pointless to get involved, because: Technical decisions are often made for completely selfish reasons that cannot be influenced by a well-meaning engineer Powerful stakeholders are typically so stupid and dysfunctional that it’s effectively impossible for you to identify their needs and deliver solutions to them The political game being played depends on private information that software engineers do not have, so any attempt to get involved will result in just blundering around Managers and executives spend most of their time playing politics, while engineers spend most of their time doing engineering, so engineers are at a serious political disadvantage before they even start
ALT The general idea here is that software engineers are simply not equipped to play the game at the same level as real political operators. This is true! It would be a terrible mistake for a software engineer to think that you ought to start scheming and plotting like you’re in Game of Thrones. Your schemes will be immediately uncovered and repurposed to your disadvantage and other people’s gain. Scheming takes practice and power, and neither of those things are available to software engineers. It is simply a fact that software engineers are tools in the political game being played at large companies, not players in their own right. However, there are many ways to get involved in politics without scheming.

Code interviews are dead. Anthropic hiring manager: “I’m scanning resumes and portfolios for little prototypes that exhibit taste, empathy, and principled thinking.”
MUST READ for anyone confused about how to get hired in the new era.
The coding interview is dead, at least for my team at Anthropic. I've seen enough to know that it no longer provides signal. I removed it from loops this month.

非洲真的很缺水吗？其实“懒”才是他们穷的根本原因。有数据显示，非洲地下水储量是地表的100倍，为何他们不挖井，而是到处找水？
我之前跟着一支海外工程队在那边待了快八个月，亲眼见过太多让人匪夷所思的事，说出来真的好多人都不敢信。我们当时的营地建在一片开阔的草地上，刚过去的时候要解决用水问题，队里找了个测水的师傅随便找了个地方打井，打到不到十二米就出了清水，水质甜得很，除了供我们队四十多个人吃喝洗澡，还能引出一垄水浇我们开出来的小菜园，天天浇水都用不完。
而离我们营地不到两公里的地方，就有一个百十来口人的部落村子，我第一次跟着采购去村里的时候，就看见全村人都围着一个半米深的泥坑接水，那水浑得放半小时都澄清不了，水面上还飘着虫子和牲畜的粪便，小孩渴了蹲下来直接舀了就喝，大人也不管，不少小孩隔三差五就拉肚子，缺药耽误着能拖出大病，看着真的让人心疼。我当时就问翻译，咱们这边打井出了这么多水，他们咋不来打一口？翻译笑笑说，你往后看就知道了，不是水的事。
没过多久工程闲下来，队长说反正咱们设备人都有，不如免费帮他们打一口井，也算做件好事，结果第一步就卡壳了。村长带着一群人堵在我们选好的井址，说这块地是他们部落的公用土地，要打井就得给他们十袋面粉五桶食用油外加两箱汽水，不然别想动土。我们队里想着反正也不多，给就给了，就当换一口井给村里人用，这点东西对我们来说不算什么。
接下来要找几个当地人帮忙打下手搬东西，我们说好一天给一斤玉米面两瓶汽水，这个待遇在当地已经够一个三口之家吃饱喝足了，比他们自己瞎晃赚得多太多，结果来了五个人，干了不到四十分钟，全都撂挑子坐到树底下乘凉去了，说太阳太晒，会晒伤皮肤，祖宗规矩就是正午不能干活，要等太阳落山再干活。我们想着入乡随俗那就等，结果太阳落山之后，连个人影都没见着，第二天上午好不容易来了三个，还要求必须先给汽水玉米面，不给就不动手，我们给了之后，三个人晃悠着挖了不到半米，又坐下来歇着聊天了，一聊就是一上午，第三天干脆全都不来了，托人带话来说拿到的吃的够喝够吃好几天，先回家休息，吃完了再来。
最后没办法，我们工程队自己上手，不到十天就打出了一口出水稳定的井，还给他们在井口安了简易的提水架，放了两个大木桶，跟村长说以后大家随便来打水，只要别往井里扔垃圾就行。一开始村里人可开心了，天天排着队来打水，结果半个月不到，井口就堵了，我们过去一看，大大小小的树枝石头烂叶子堵了小半井，原来大家打完水垃圾随手就扔在井口边上，下雨一冲全进去了。我们免费帮他们清干净，反复跟村长和村民说不要扔垃圾，要保持井口干净，结果不到两个月，又堵了，之后村长干脆来找我们，说井坏了，你们再帮我们打一口新的吧，那语气说得理所当然，好像我们就该天天给他们收拾烂摊子。
我之前还碰到过一次，营地的围墙坏了一段，找了四个当地工人来修，说好一天干完给对应的工钱，结果四个工人八点开工，九点就歇着喝茶，十点吃早饭，十二点要睡午觉，睡到下午三点才起来，干了不到一小时又说要回家喂孩子，一天下来只码了不到五块砖，第二天还过来要全额工钱，说我们没给他们提供茶和饼，所以干得慢，钱不能少给，当时给我们队长气得直接把他们赶走了。
待得久了我才发现，这种事真的不是个例。有个二十多岁的小伙子天天来我们营地卖野果，我们看他挺活络，就说你干脆天天给我们营地送菜，我们一个月给你固定的工钱，比你卖野果稳定多了，结果他干了三天，第四天就不见了，过了一周晃悠过来，问他为啥不来，他说前三天赚的钱够花了，在家歇着花完了再来。还有国际援助组织免费给他们发蔬菜种子，教他们开荒种地，说种好了够全村吃大半年，结果一半种子被他们煮着吃了，剩下的随便往地里一撒，既不浇水也不除草，长不出来就接着等着发援助。
真的，很多人说非洲穷是因为气候不好历史遗留问题，可我们明明看到脚底下十几米就是清水，储量够整个村子用几十年，有人免费帮你打出来，就只要随手维护一下都做不到。他们不是没有力气，跑出去找野果跳篝火舞能折腾一整天，一说到干活赚饭吃，半小时就喊累；也不是没有资源，地下水摆在那，援助摆在那，就是不肯伸手去动。
我待了八个月见过好多口废弃的援助井，全都是打完没两年没人维护废了，当地人宁愿背着水桶走三四公里去接脏雨水，也不肯花半天时间清一清堵了的井口。你说这到底是延续了几千年的靠天吃饭的生活方式已经刻进骨子里改不了，还是真的就是“懒”才导致一直摆脱不了穷呢？你怎么看这件事？
