Announcing: Mechanize War
We are coming out of stealth with guns blazing! There is trillions of dollars to be made from automating warfare, and we think starting this company is not just justified but obligatory on utilitarian grounds. Lethal autonomous weapons are people too! We really want to thank LessWrong for teaching us the importance of alignment (of weapons targeting). We couldn't have done this without you. Given we were in stealth, you would have missed our blog from the past year. Here are some bang er highlights: Announcing Mechanize War Today we're announcing Mechanize War, a startup focused on developing virtual combat environments, benchmarks, and training data that will enable the full automation of armed conflict across the global economy of violence. We will achieve this by creating simulated envi
Maintaining Open Source in the AI Era
<p>I've been maintaining a handful of open source packages lately: <a href="https://pypi.org/project/mailview/" rel="noopener noreferrer">mailview</a>, <a href="https://pypi.org/project/mailjunky/" rel="noopener noreferrer">mailjunky</a> (in both Python and Ruby), and recently dusted off an old Ruby gem called <a href="https://rubygems.org/gems/tvdb_api/" rel="noopener noreferrer">tvdb_api</a>. The experience has been illuminating - not just about package management, but about how AI is changing open source development in ways I'm still processing.</p> <h2> The Packages </h2> <p><strong>mailview</strong> started because I missed <a href="https://github.com/ryanb/letter_opener" rel="noopener noreferrer">letter_opener</a> from the Ruby world.

Stop Accepting BGP Routes on Trust Alone: Deploy RPKI ROV on IOS-XE and IOS XR Today
<p>If you run BGP in production and you're not validating route origins with RPKI, you're accepting every prefix announcement on trust alone. That's the equivalent of letting anyone walk into your data center and plug into a switch because they said they work there.</p> <p>BGP RPKI Route Origin Validation (ROV) is the mechanism that changes this. With 500K+ ROAs published globally, mature validator software, and RFC 9774 formally deprecating AS_SET, there's no technical barrier left. Here's how to deploy it on Cisco IOS-XE and IOS XR.</p> <h2> How RPKI ROV Actually Works </h2> <p>RPKI (Resource Public Key Infrastructure) cryptographically binds IP prefixes to the autonomous systems authorized to originate them. Three components make it work:</p> <p><strong>Route Origin Authorizations (ROAs
Claude Code's Source Didn't Leak. It Was Already Public for Years.
<p>I build a JavaScript obfuscation tool (<a href="https://afterpack.dev" rel="noopener noreferrer">AfterPack</a>), so when the Claude Code "leak" hit <a href="https://venturebeat.com/technology/claude-codes-source-code-appears-to-have-leaked-heres-what-we-know" rel="noopener noreferrer">VentureBeat</a>, <a href="https://fortune.com/2026/03/31/anthropic-source-code-claude-code-data-leak-second-security-lapse-days-after-accidentally-revealing-mythos/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Fortune</a>, and <a href="https://www.theregister.com/2026/03/31/anthropic_claude_code_source_code/" rel="noopener noreferrer">The Register</a> this week, I did what felt obvious — I analyzed the supposedly leaked code to see what was actually protected.</p> <p>I <a href="https://afterpack.dev/blog/claude-code-source-
