| VCamper: use LLMs to spot security fixes before CVE publication
|
| Once a patch for a security vulnerability is public, the patch
| itself can reveal the vulnerability before the CVE is published.
| VCamper uses a staged LLM pipeline to analyze a Git commit range
| and flag likely vulnerability patches, even when they look like
| routine changes.
|
| It's still a proof of concept, but on known cases like curl
| CVE-2025-0725 it got close to the published root cause from the
| patch alone.
|
| This matters because LLMs could make it much harder to keep
| security fixes quiet: once the patch is public, the bug may be
| recoverable almost immediately. Quietly shipping a fix and hoping
| it stays under the radar may stop being a reliable strategy.

| It's a single file shell script that has no dependencies except

|
| That's why I built Caliper (http://getcaliper.dev). It's a system

| every agent turn, and then increasingly more complex checks get
| run pre-commit and pre-merge.
|
| Early users love it, and the data demonstrates the need - 40% of
| agent turns produce code that violates a project's own
| conventions (as defined in CLAUDE.md). Caliper catches those
| violations immediately and gets the model to make corrections
| before small issues become costly to unwind.
|
| Still very early, and all feedback is welcome!

|
| I intend demonstrate how I built a transcription pipeline in

| Latin-language audio content from the Internet, transcode the
| audio with ffmpeg, do Voice Activity Detection and chunking in
| Python with Silero, load the chunks into Gemini's context window,

| forced-alignment data using local a local wav2vec2-latin model,
| and finally add word-level linguistic analysis (POS, morphology,
| lemmas) using a local Stanza model trained on the Classical
| corpus.
|
| This all gets saved to an an XML file which is loaded into BaseX
| along with some metadata. I'll then demonstrate some Emacs Lisp
| code which pulls it into an Org-mode based transcription buffer
| and minor-mode for reading and study, where I can play audio of
| any given Latin word, sentence, or paragraph, thanks to the
| forced-alignment and linguistic analysis data being stored in
| hidden text properties when the data was fetched from the
| database.
|
| Lastly, I'd like to explore how to leverage these tools to
| automatically create flash cards with audio cues in Org mode
| using the anki-editor Emacs minor mode for sentence mining.

| Codify -- democratic digital public infrastructure that turns

|
| The idea: describe any problem in plain language (voice or text),
| and AI codifies it into a structured program with the right
| people, steps, timeline, and agents to get it done. It's a 5-step
| wizard: Define Problem - Codify Solution - Setup Program -
| Execute Program - Verify Outcome.
|
| It runs across 50+ domains -- codify.healthcare (EMR backend),
| codify.education (LMS backend), codify.finance, codify.careers
| (HRM backend), codify.law, plus 13 city domains (codify.nyc,
| codify.miami, codify.london, codify.tokyo, etc.). Each domain
| tailors the AI assessment and program output to that sector.
|
| The platform is Project20x -- think of it as the infrastructure
| layer. If Codify is the verb ("codify your healthcare problem
| into a care program"), Project20x is the operating system that
| runs it all: multi-tenant governance, AI agent orchestration, and
| domain-specific sys-cores for healthcare, education, city
| services, etc.
|
| Every US federal agency and state-level department has a
| subdomain -- ed.usa.project20x.com (Dept of Education),
| doj.usa.project20x.com, hhs.usa.project20x.com, etc. -- with AI
| agents representing each agency's mandate. Same structure at the
| state level.
|
| The political side: Project20x hosts policy management for both
| parties -- dnc.project20x.com and rnc.project20x.com -- where
| legislative intent gets codified into executable governance
| through a 10-step policy lifecycle. Right now I'm building out
| the multi-agent environment so agency agents can negotiate with
| each other, make deals, and send policy proposals up to the HITL
| (human-in-the-loop) politician for approval. Each elected
| official has a profile (e.g. https://project20x.com/u/donald-
| trump) where constituents can engage and where policy proposals
| land for review.

|
| So, I can prepare in advance a table of size 5^n (for one or more
| ns) which tells me how many bits from the middle of the
| palindrome I need, to get a remainder of <index mod 5^n>.
|
| Then when I get to the aforementioned situation, all I need to do

|
| From a little bit of testing, this seems to work, and it seems to

| -- check whether Server HTTP header is too revealing -

| -- check for missing meta description -- check for

| -- check for insecure http link - spell check
