Second sentence form the article, "If vibecoding is what people say it is, the world should be drowning in vibecoded artifacts right now." My answer: it is. Maybe we don't have a bunch of photo editing apps but it sure seems like we have a lot of vibe coded commercial and non-commercial projects being created. If i have to see one more vibe coded agent harness I might actually lose it. And I wouldn't call it all slop
Maybe, but it’s harder to profit from it. A firm may be reputationally damaged, but what’s the incentive to cause that damage?
I think the Bloomberg Odd Lots guy wrote a blog post on this: you could attempt to short the stock but a) this leaves a paper trail b) the market might not know about the breach or believe you if you post you’ve done it.

The linked Github seems to have the 2nd edition in the form of notebooks, https://github.com/jakevdp/PythonDataScienceHandbook/blob/ma..., under the Using Code Examples section, "attribution usually includes the title, author, publisher, and ISBN. For example: "Python Data Science Handbook, 2nd edition, by Jake VanderPlas (O’Reilly). Copyright 2023..." compared to the OP's link which has "The Python Data Science Handbook by Jake VanderPlas (O’Reilly). Copyright 2016..."
Potential game - click a random date and decide if the content is from 2024 or not. I really like "Web 2.0 is a bubble for 3 reasons" from OP's link. I feel like there was a time when that same post applied to Web 3.0 showed up every week on HN.
Quote: "Multiple sensor versions apparently. I checked we haven't received a sensor update since the 13th so it must be something else they're updating to cause it.
So much for our Sensor Update Policies avoiding things like this..."
Edit to add: Based on the Reddit comment and this thread, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41004103, I would put this on CrowdStrike doing something that was unavoidable by the customer (CrowdStrike could have avoided this).

Every October I get a hundred or so calls and texts for someone named Eileen reminding her it's open enrollment time for Obamacare. It started suddenly a few years ago so I think the real Eileen just entered the wrong number by mistake but I have no idea how to make it stop.
