Putin is almost certainly behind this. Trying to stop a Democrat politician and help Trump in the midterms. Remember not voting is a vote for Trump.

Bring it back

Today liteLLM was compromised (account accessed by malicious actor?) and a compromised released was published : pypi package and docker image.

Official blog post

The commits have quiet suspicious title with totally suspect content:

• Change greeting
• Update print statement

I went away and decompress the payload on can check the code on this codeberg repository.

From liteLLM github issue:

How it was undermined

• On Monday, we temporarily expanded release permissions to allow two internal engineers to publish daily bugfix backports for customers.
• The attacker had access to three sets of developer github CLI credentials (more on this below). One of which had the ability to run github workflows.
• The attacker tried to merge a change to allow the releaser to be pointed at a different source repository, but was unable to due to our protections. One of the tokens held by the attacker belonged to one of our two Github organization owners. The attacker used this to disable branch protections and force push the change.
• Finally, they ran the compromised workflow, pointed at a lookalike repository (Berri-AI/litellm instead of BerriAI/litellm), which signed and published the poisoned artifacts.

EXTREME CAUTION! THIS IS NOT A DRILL. BNNUYS HAVE BEEN FOUND CAMOUFLAGED INSIDE THE HOUSE. I SAY AGAIN: EXTREME CAUTION! THIS IS NOT A DRILL. BNNUYS HAVE BEEN FOUND CAMOUFLAGED INSIDE THE HOUSE.

Using a stacked difference-in-differences design covering shootings between 1990 and 2025, I compare cohorts at affected universities before and after the shooting with cohorts at matched control universities. I find no detectable effects on time to degree, but undergraduates enrolled at the time of the shooting are 4.2% less likely to pursue further studies. Those who do continue shift toward health: the share of exposed cohorts who later enroll in a health degree rises by 1.3 percentage points (8.8%), and this effect persists among cohorts who enroll after the shooting. Effects on students present during the shooting are consistent with a response to trauma; for later cohorts, I find evidence of sorting, as master’s students with prior healthcare experience become more likely to enroll in affected universities. These results suggest that mass shootings leave institutional and cultural legacies that outlast the students who witnessed them.

Russia’s Supreme Court has ruled that a Russian man does not have to return his daughter to her mother in France, even though he took the child to Russia without permission, Kommersant reported.

...

The case concerns Veronika Tishkova, a Ukrainian citizen who married Russian citizen Alexey Yermakov in 2018. They lived in Kyiv, where their daughter was born. The couple divorced in 2021, and the child stayed with her mother. Shortly after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine began, Tishkova moved to France with her 3-year-old daughter, while Yermakov remained in Ukraine.

In June 2023, he asked a Kyiv court to order his former wife to bring their daughter to Ukraine every six weeks. The court denied his request.

Yermakov also took legal action against his former wife in France. In April 2024, he consented to the child’s living permanently in France. The following March, he asked for permission to take his daughter on vacation to Turkey and Slovakia, promising the court he would return her in two weeks. He did not. It soon emerged that he had taken the child to Russia.

...

In July 2025, Tishkova asked a court in Novosibirsk to order her daughter’s return. During the proceedings, the girl was granted Russian citizenship at her father’s request. The court nevertheless sided with Tishkova and ordered Yermakov to return the child to France under the Hague Convention. Higher courts rejected Yermakov’s appeals.

He then appealed to Russia’s Supreme Court, which ruled in his favor in July 2026. The court found that the girl had adjusted to life in Russia and that moving to France could therefore adversely affect her. It cited an article of the Hague Convention that allows courts to refuse to return a child “if there is a grave risk that his or her return would expose the child to physical or psychological harm.” The court also said the girl has Russian citizenship and that France is an “unfriendly” country and a member of NATO and the European Union.

Tishkova challenged the ruling, which is now under review by the Supreme Court’s Presidium. Her lawyer, Dmitry Litvinsky, said the Supreme Court had “put its own political interpretation of the situation above the applicable law.” Andrey Targashov, Yermakov’s lawyer, said the court’s position was “in line with international practice.”

The European Parliament approved its position on a targeted revision of the Critical Raw Materials Act (CRMA) by 470 votes to 83, with 108 abstentions. The proposal includes a new European Critical Raw Materials Centre and stronger measures to secure strategic supplies.

...

Italy’s Minister for Enterprises and Made in Italy, Adolfo Urso, welcomed the vote, highlighting provisions to restrict exports of scrap and waste containing permanent magnets and establish a European centre for critical raw materials.

Urso pointed to Italy’s bid to host the first European strategic stockpile of critical raw materials and the recent selection of five Italian projects among the 46 identified by the European Commission under the CRMA’s second call for projects.

Rome wants to establish the European critical raw materials storage centre in Porto Marghera, in the Veneto region. The site is connected to northeastern Italy’s logistics network, making it a potential hub for the strategic storage and management of rare earth elements.

...

The Critical Raw Materials Act establishes a series of benchmarks for 2030 to strengthen Europe’s access to materials essential for the clean energy transition.

• 10%: Minimum share of the EU’s annual consumption of strategic raw materials to be extracted domestically.
• 40%: Minimum share to be processed within the EU.
• 25%: Minimum share to be met through recycling.
• 65%: Maximum share of annual EU consumption of any strategic raw material that should come from a single third country.

after further research, fuck apple. even windows somehow has better interoperability with other systems, with making recovery media, virtualization, and just basic, basic shit.

trying with high sierra now.

I just no longer believe that I have a future. Im 24. I studied a computer science degree, actually got a job.... except its gonna be automated by an LLM at some point. The tools are already there.

If I lose this job, everything else in my field is just gonna be AI. Its used a lot in my job and by my coworkers... its gonna be hell to compete with AI to get a job in the area.

I think what broke me is reading about open ai generating a lean proofs for hundreds of theorems. I like maths, i wont be a math researcher, but I would imagine that killing any desire to be a mathematician professionally. I understand that maths is a lot much more then just results, but for my field it kinda is just about results. A well working feature is a well working feature.

So thats my career prospects, something i was excited about, just fucking dead. Now what? I dont fucking know. I dont wanna spend another 10s of thousands of dollars in something and for that to get automated. I have no idea at all what field i could work in as a career that isnt something in STEM. Thats where my skills are. Im happyish to do other work, but I so doubt my abilities. Im autistic af, so i have no idea how ill function in for example retail, or hospo work. I hardly function at home atm.

Now feel free to comment on whether you agree with me on my analysis on future career prospects in tech fields im just some junior, but of course main thing is how I feel about it not what I think atm.

Now theres my lack of hope from climate change, and politics. I worry a great deal. The first really crushes my hope, its such a big thing.

Politics stresses me tf out as a trans women,... i worry about getting attacked both literally, and politically. Reduced access to HRT, no legal protections in the future run in my mind. Trans people are under existential threat.

For now, I do have a lot to look forward to. Ive been socialising more, Im transitioning into a women, its been good. But that doesnt mean I have hope.
