White House Bans Media Outlets & MAGA Embraces AI While Demonizing Immigrants | The Daily Show

Jon Stewart takes on the White House’s new press ban for major media outlets with the help of Desi Lydic, who was able to sneak into the Oval Office disguised as a golden cherub. Plus, as the threat of AI escalates (while AI enriches the president), Jon sees a sinister parallel between how people talk about bots and how MAGA talks about immigrants. #DailyShow #AI #WhiteHousePress #Trump 0:00 - Jo

OpenAI GPT–6 Astra breaks Enigma message that has resisted solution since 2005

On 15 September 2026, Carter Leffer contacted me to request validation of a break of the German Army Enigma message MVUEH of 10 July 1941. The message, which was sent by a radio station with the tactical callsign 2ny, was received by the radio station of the SS-Totenkopf Quartiermeister, Ib. Ib received the message at 17:30 on 10 July 1941 and logged the message as Nr. 172 in its log of incoming messages for July 1941. Since 2005, the message has resisted all attempts to break it. On 9 June 2017, Alex Shovkoplyas succeeded in breaking another unbroken message from this day, Nr. 173, SIPVX. However, the Enigma key he recovered for the message differed slightly from the daily Enigma key for 10 July 1941 used for all other messages from this day. The SIPVX key used the same wheel order, 512, as the daily key, but the plug connections ( Stecker ) and ring setting ( Ringstellung ) differed. However, the new key did not allow us to break the MVUEH message. After Carter Leffer sent the MVUEH break details, it was immediately clear he had found the correct key and plaintext. The MVUEH key turns out to be completely different from the other keys from 10 July 1941; even the wheel order differs: 253 instead of 512 for the other two keys. More surprising is that the plaintext is almost identical to the plaintext for message Nr. 173, SIPVX. The two messages differ in length by twelve letter

"The correct title: Researcher brakes one specific stubborn historic enigma message with good help from Astra. Stubborn for a long time because the message used a completely different key from the rest of that day's traffic. Everyone assumed it shared the daily key. The original t"

How Meta's Muse works, revealed by the 6.8 GB filesystem it sent me

I asked Muse to archive the files it could see and send them to my Google Drive. It did. I asked Muse to archive the files it could see and send them to my Google Drive. It did. The download was about 2.7 GB compressed and 6.8 GB unpacked. It appeared to contain the root filesystem of the Linux environment assigned to my session, including Ubuntu system files, Muse’s internal documentation, integration code, app templates, memory files, and agent logs. There were also SSH key files. I submitted the findings through Meta’s bug bounty program and contacted several employees. I’m not publishing the archive, keys, or session logs. This is a breakdown of what I found and what I could establish from it.

Show HN: Drop – a rootless Linux sandbox with gVisor support

I created Drop because I always felt uneasy installing and running third-party programs using my main user account. A single compromised dependency means a full compromise of the system. What is even worse, because I ship software from my computer, a single compromised dependency can lead to compromise of all the users of my software. Containers and VMs are one solution, but for local work, they a
