Large-Language Models as a Cognitive Virushttps://arxiv.org/abs/2609.03344
Large-language models (LLMs) are rapidly becoming part of human culture, reshaping how information is produced, transmitted, and used. Here we propose that their diffusion can be understood through a viral analogy, with LLM use spreading through populations, becoming embedded in cognitive and cultural practices. We model transitions among uncoupled, coupled, and persistently dependent users, and show that the interplay between social transmission, recovery, and collective reinforcement can generate tipping points and technological lock-in. A central consequence is the possibility of runaway d…
What filesystem are you running on your NAS/Backups, and why?https://lobste.rs/s/wk38d2/what_filesystem_are_you_running_on_your
What filesystem are you running on your NAS/Backups, and why? And if you're using multiple disks/devices, how do you manage them (filesystem's RAID, mdadm or other software solutions, hardware RAID)?
Seeking Designer for a Small Companyhttps://lobste.rs/s/trzpsg/seeking_designer_for_small_company
A friend and I intend to start a business in the near future and would love to have a great human designer make us some great human (logo/web) designs. I am a programmer and painter by training but have no talent for graphic design and have no idea where to find great designers. So, I'd love to know if you know of any places to look/any great ones you have experience with. We are primarily searching for help with our logo/branding and design for our launch website. A few requirements: Be a human person who does not use generative AI in design material. Able to work freelance (at least until w…

Trusting-Trust Attack against an Entire Linux Distribution (via the strip utility)https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.24888
Ken Thompson's trusting-trust attack, in which a compromised compiler backdoors the programs it builds and reproduces the backdoor in subsequent rebuilds of itself, is widely regarded as a threat specific to compilers. We show that it is not. Comments

Is it too much to ask devs to use AI to review their hand-crafted code?https://lobste.rs/s/fxccx9/is_it_too_much_ask_devs_use_ai_review_their
You believe coding by hand is the Way and I both admire and appreciate beautiful, hand-crafted code. But I want to use your library, and when I ask my AI to evaluate it for bugs, memory leaks, security issues, it returns a long list of serious ones. Even if you hate AI-generated code, you can use an AI to identify issues and you can fix them yourself. Think of it as an advanced linter or something.

AI it's not bad but it's a toolhttps://lobste.rs/s/2eai0v/ai_it_s_not_bad_it_s_tool
My company recently provided me a Claude license and even not being a fan of this kind of tool i recognize the value. I think it's great to deal with tasks you don't want to handle and just to get rid of them as fast as possible, but when there is something you like I belive it's importante not to rush it and enjoy the process, for my side projects I don't really allow code generation, instead I try to get the docs and examples on how stuff works then implement it, the risk of atrophy is high and to be able to write good code by yourself is a great value. But I see more and more people convin…
