I’ll reiterate what many others have said about the yubikey story - unless you’re the target of super sophisticated actors who do not want you to know they’ve stolen your yubikey*, this is a bit of a non-event and highlights the importance of keeping track of your yubikeys. Please don’t toss them, but do keep an eye out for further developments. Once an issue like this is identified, it attracts a lot of attention from many smart people and there may will be other findings in the future, but for now, yubikeys are good enough for most of us.

* I know there are a bunch of people convinced you’re being pursued by these advanced adversaries. I worry about you. For many reasons.

Spent the evening tinkering with Anthropic's new interactive prompting tutorial and OpenAI's new "improved file search result relevance". Wrote up a bunch of notes on them:
