I'm extremely proud of Gradle Best Practices finally launching to the public. It was a result of many hours of discussions, negotiations, and wordsmithing to bring you the first batch of best practices. It was a deep collaboration between Google, Jetbrains, and Gradle.

I hope you enjoy it!

Today's scoop: xAI Dev Leaks API Key for Private SpaceX, Tesla LLMs

An employee at Elon Musk's artificial intelligence company xAI leaked a private key on GitHub that for the past two months could have allowed anyone to query private xAI large language models (LLMs) which appear to have been custom made for working with internal data from Musk's companies, including SpaceX, Tesla and Twitter/X, KrebsOnSecurity has learned.

GitGuardian's Eric Fourrier told KrebsOnSecurity the exposed API key had access to several unreleased models of Grok, the AI chatbot developed by xAI. In total, GitGuardian found the key had access to at least 60 distinct data sets.

"The credentials can be used to access the X.ai API with the identity of the user," GitGuardian wrote in an email explaining their findings to xAI. "The associated account not only has access to public Grok models (grok-2-1212, etc) but also to what appears to be unreleased (grok-2.5V), development (research-grok-2p5v-1018), and private models (tweet-rejector, grok-spacex-2024-11-04)."

Fourrier found GitGuardian had alerted the xAI employee about the exposed API key nearly two months ago -- on March 2. But as of April 30, when GitGuardian directly alerted xAI's security team to the exposure, the key was still valid and usable. xAI told GitGuardian to report the matter through its bug bounty program at HackerOne, but just a few hours later the repository containing the API key was removed from GitHub.

In theory Bluesky is decentralized but in practice it isn’t. The AT Protocol supports decentralization but in practice, the network that most users participate in is run by a single company.

So unlike Mastodon, if that one company’s servers go down, the entire BlueSky service is down for all users.

I bought this machine around the time of the pandemic. It has been working fine until yesterday. It just constantly was rebooting. Thought it was a, stuck button causing it to get confused. Nope. Apparently it will only reboot when connected to wifi. Disconnected the wifi antenna and restarted the machine. Low and behold it started.

Just means I can't use the online functions but honestly I never used them. So it will behave as it was originally intended to in the 90s, as a stand-alone machine.

Yay! The 1.0.0 release of the version catalog update plugin is finally out! You don't need the dependency versions plugin anymore, some config and behavior has changed, but that results in more predictable output. Please upgrade and file issues if you find any!
