I had a weird hardware experience today. I built a new PC, but shuffled around RAM and NVMEs, because prices. I put two NVME drives into the new build: a Samsung SSD 980 Pro and a Kingston KC3000. They were already in PCIe adapters so I plugged them in. The Supermicro motherboard refused to post and reset at initializing AHCI. Ok, pulled one drive, it booted. Put that back in and pulled the other, it booted. Eventually I tried moving the Samsung 980 to the on-board m.2 slot and it worked.

Sequoia has a bug bounty program and nearly all hunters use LLMs. If we were to decide that we would prohibit LLM submissions, we may as well close down the program. When interacting with hunters, I'm experimenting with saying: "Please keep your response to less than 200 words. Do not change the topic. Only consider the reported issue." Initial results are positive. The responses are still from an LLM, but they are shorter and seem more on-topic.

New bug bounty report: if a user supplies a time very far in the future to sq --time, then sq doesn't elegantly reject it, but crashes due to an overflow. Yes, this is a minor issue, but where's the security vulnerability?

Over the last three weeks, the same bug was reported to Sequoia's bug bounty program five times. My guess is that this correlates with an updated LLM model.
