A survivor of Jeffrey Epstein's abuse, known as 'Jane,' testified that she met Donald Trump with Epstein at Mar-a-Lago when she was 14. While she did not accuse Trump of any inappropriate behavior, their relationship has come under scrutiny as questions persist about Trump's knowledge of Epstein's crimes. Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's accomplice, recently spoke with the Deputy Attorney General under limited immunity, potentially about other accomplices.
Key Points:
Jane, a survivor of Epstein's abuse, met Trump at Mar-a-Lago at age 14 but did not accuse him of any wrongdoing.
Trump and Epstein had a long-standing social relationship, with Trump claiming he later banned Epstein from his club.
Ghislaine Maxwell was granted limited immunity to discuss potential Epstein accomplices with the Deputy Attorney General.
The Department of Justice found no evidence of a 'client list' or blackmail by Epstein in their investigation.
Jane's testimony was pivotal in Maxwell's 2021 trial, where Maxwell was convicted of sex trafficking minors.
"Jane said Epstein sexually abused her for the first time in his pool house at his Palm Beach property. Soon after, Maxwell and Epstein sexually abused her together, she said. The abuse took place not only on Palm Beach but also at Epstein's homes in New York City and New Mexico."

The FBI possesses a secret version of the surveillance video from Jeffrey Epstein's prison block on the night of his death, which includes a 'missing minute' not present in the publicly released footage. The discrepancy has fueled conspiracy theories, with experts questioning the DOJ's explanation that the missing minute was due to a system reset.
Key Points:
The FBI has a complete version of the surveillance video from Epstein's prison block, unlike the publicly released footage which is missing a minute.
The DOJ claimed the missing minute was due to a system reset, but surveillance experts dispute this explanation.
Conspiracy theories suggest Epstein was murdered to protect his powerful associates, as the missing minute raises questions about the footage's integrity.
Cameras directly outside Epstein’s cell malfunctioned the night he died, and other entrances to his wing were not shown in the released video.
The Epstein scandal continues to plague the Trump administration, with conflicting statements about Trump's relationship with Epstein.
"The FBI found that cameras directly outside Epstein’s cell had malfunctioned the night he died. According to the FBI and the DOJ, anyone attempting to access the tier containing Epstein’s cell from the common area would have been visible in the footage."

The author shares their journey of learning basic electronics by building a firefly-inspired blinking LED circuit, overcoming challenges like incorrect wiring and component selection, and creating tools to simulate and optimize the circuit's performance.
Key Points:
The author started with no prior knowledge of electronics but learned through trial, error, and AI tools.
They built a blinking LED circuit using an Astable Multivibrator and improved it with an LDR for night-only operation and a potentiometer to adjust blink speed.
The author created web-based simulators to predict blink delays and estimate battery life.
They faced issues like broken jumper wires and unreliable circuit simulators, but found solutions like using hookup wires and manual testing.
Soldering smoke caused breathing issues, prompting the author to improvise a solution with a CPU cooler fan.
"I love fireflies. But in recent years, they stopped coming for reasons I don’t know. No tiny, glowing dots in the dark like they used to. I miss them more than I expected."

The article discusses a limitation in Go's race detector where it fails to detect data races involving mutexes unless they occur at runtime. The author illustrates this with a code example where an unguarded write to a shared variable is sometimes missed by the detector. The issue stems from how locks are modeled in the race detector's 'happens-before' analysis.
Key Points:
Go's race detector can miss data races involving mutexes unless they occur during execution.
The detector uses a 'happens-before' relationship model to identify potential races.
Locks are modeled in a way that can sometimes obscure races in the analysis.
The article provides a code example where an unguarded write is not always detected.
The race detector is still useful for detecting races that rely on specific timing.
"However, in the original mutex case above, the unguarded write is always executed by thread 1, and yet Go is missing the race unless it actually occurs at runtime."

Anthropic: We're Glad You Like Claude Code, But Stop Reselling Access

Anthropic has introduced weekly rate limits for its Claude chatbot to curb excessive and forbidden usage, such as reselling access and running multiple instances simultaneously. The company aims to ensure fair access for all users by addressing abuse by a small number of power users.
Key Points:
Anthropic is imposing weekly rate limits on Claude Code due to excessive usage by some subscribers.
Some users are reselling access to their login credentials, violating Anthropic's policies.
Others are 'multi-clauding,' running multiple instances of Claude Code in parallel, which is also prohibited.
The rate limits will affect Pro and Max plan subscribers starting August 28.
The measures aim to maintain capacity for the broader user community.
"However, we've identified extreme usage by a small number of customers that impacts capacity for our broader community."
Just like nine women can't make a baby in one month, spawning 9 Claude Code subagents won't make your coding 9x faster.

The article argues that parallelizing coding tasks with multiple subagents doesn't necessarily speed up the process, as some tasks are inherently sequential. It suggests that using too many subagents can lead to inefficiencies and hallucinations, and notes that many multi-agent templates are rarely used in practice.
Key Points:
Some coding tasks are inherently sequential and cannot be parallelized effectively.
Using too many subagents can lead to inefficiencies and hallucinations.
The OODA loop works best with 3 subagents and an additional coordinator can complicate things.
Many GitHub repos with hundreds of subagents are templates that few people use daily.
"Some tasks are inherently sequential - you can't parallelize understanding before implementing, or testing before writing."

You Are The BIOS Now: Building A Hypervisor In Rust With KVM
Posted on r/programming |
Score: 6 |
Comments: 0
The article explores building a Type-II hypervisor in Rust using KVM, detailing the process of creating a virtual machine with no OS, fake I/O ports, and minimal unsafe blocks. It humorously describes the challenges of setting up a VM with memory and booting it in real mode, emphasizing the surreal nature of x86 virtualization.
Key Points:
Building a hypervisor in Rust using KVM involves tapping into x86's virtual machine extensions and managing VCPUs from user space.
The hypervisor allocates guest memory using mmap_anonymous and configures it as 'physical RAM' for the VM.
The VM boots in real mode, a 16-bit environment with no BIOS or firmware, requiring manual setup.
The article uses humor and metaphors to describe the complex and 'cursed' nature of systems programming.
The kvm-ioctls crate is used to simplify interactions with KVM, though unsafe blocks are still necessary.
"Once activated, the KVM throws your CPU into a parallel dimension where code thinks it’s running on bare metal, but you’re standing right beside it in user space intercepting its every move. Some call it a sandbox, I call it a dream machine because once you step in, nothing is real."
