Rowan Merewood reposted thisIt's witching hour somewhere, so I've added a seriously 💀 SPOOKY mode to my noise generator. A blood-curdling curation of anxiety-inducing audio ambience for a horrible Halloween or dire Día de Muertos! https://lnkd.in/eEXTEjBv

Rowan Merewood shared thisDid you know that `localhost` is *mostly* treated as a secure connection, which is obviously helpful for dev work, but sometimes you run into a few edge cases. Luckily Maud Nalpas has you covered there with one from the archives: https://lnkd.in/eRJXPshm And as a fun side track, you can go read up on Firesheep (https://lnkd.in/edT8DsSy) which really helped illustrate the danger of just sending everything out in the open on plain ol' HTTP connections.Rowan Merewood shared thisWaaaaayy back in 2016, we shared a roadmap to mark HTTP as "Not Secure" and help nudge the web toward HTTPS by default: https://lnkd.in/e6bSfs-V I still have a picture of our HTTPS kick-off cake & some of the amazing security leads that helped start this industry-wide effort 10+ years ago (👋 Adriana Porter Felt Emily Stark Emily Schechter :) A decade later, HTTPS is the standard—and today Google Chrome is enabling proactive warnings before insecure HTTP connections. Why this change? "Not Secure" badging only alerts you _after_ an unencrypted request leaks on the wire. By halting before the connection happens, Chrome stops network eavesdropping & tampering before your data leaves the device. 💪🔐🕸️ More details, including how we've built with sensible ergonomics, here: https://lnkd.in/esd-d24x

Rowan Merewood reposted thisRowan Merewood reposted thisI can finally talk about the last 2 months of my life: https://lnkd.in/dbK5Pqts Leading up to us (the PHP security folks working on this) issuing: https://lnkd.in/d_DPMnAK I'm not going to go into the technical details here; that's what the official announcements we've created are for. Happy to soon be able to go back to my normal life and schedule. Thank you to everyone who supported me privately during this time, you know who you are, and to everyone who has helped with the fixes. Tideways GmbH, my employer, who allowed me to work full-time on this. We're not a big company, and being able to focus my time and efforts here was above and beyond what I could have expected. Ilija Tovilo, Arnaud Le Blanc, Jakub Zelenka for the work on the fix, the unwavering commitment, and the many, many conversations we had ensuring we're doing the right thing here to protect as many people as possible. Nils Adermann and Elizabeth Barron for supporting me in all the communication work and doing so, so much right now in managing this. Calif, Wiz, and OpenAI for their parts in the discovery and, ESPECIALLY, the close, frequent, and successful collaboration. Having experts on board with connections into all parts of the industry was a huge help in coordinating this release. It's been great working with all of you on this.Exclusive | AI Just Found a Bug That Puts up to 70% of the World’s Websites at RiskExclusive | AI Just Found a Bug That Puts up to 70% of the World’s Websites at Risk

We've extended the origin trial to Chrome 160, so head over to the Origin Trial site and click that Renew button! https://lnkd.in/ey292JnTOrigin TrialsOrigin Trials

Rowan Merewood shared this📧 More email verification updates! A little preview here, but follow the link for all the details. We're not anticipating 🤞 any more breaking changes, so if you were waiting for things to stabilise before you started testing, then this is your sign. - Chrome on Android support is in stable (so, that's, oh... ~2.5b potential new testers for you) - Third-party origin trial support (if you're providing embedded components or libraries) - A whole new dedicated documentation section as we head towards shipping - Tweaking how email addresses are returned so they're exactly as submitted - Added a hyphen in `Sec-Fetch-Dest: email-verification` header for consistency with others - And a little more guidance on verification, explanations, and a cleaner, shareable diagram since so many people insisted on sharing my informative, but ugly, developer-focused sequence diagram before. https://lnkd.in/eR5FtEcF

Rowan Merewood shared thisIt's been ages since I made an optical illusion demo, but luckily I saw a video from the master Akiyoshi Kitaoka and I immediately needed an interactive web version. So, for a little Friday fun you can drag that square back and forth and I promise, hand on heart, it never changes colour. https://lnkd.in/eizf4Fhs

Amazing journey, Jose! I've got very fond memories of our work together way back around 2008.

Rowan Merewood liked thisRowan Merewood liked thisHere are some stats that I track in the articles that I've written over the last year or two. https://aifoc.us/stats/ It covers Github commits, commits by agents (as far as I can detect) and a couple of other stats. I've also included stats about React usage (which was used in Dead Framework Theory post). If I've got this correct, this should update every month now.

Learn how to use: • `readOnlyHint' to indicate side-effect-free tools • `consequentialHint` to encourage human-in-the-loop confirmation for high-stakes actions like unlocking doors • `untrustedContentHint` to indicate that content that the tool returns might contain dangerous content such as prompt injection Check out the full walkthrough → [https://goo.gle/4zCwTrn
