The Linux kernel is seeing duplicate reports for LLM-discovered vulnerabilities within the few days it takes to prepare a fix. For large projects which are getting LLM-powered vuln hunting attention, long embargo periods' advantage may be tilting toward attackers.

Making the LIFO slot stealable by default regressed performance, so now it’s configurable and is back to being not-stealable by default.

I'd totally missed that after the Oxide and Friends episode on severe latency caused by the Tokio LIFO slot optimization, @elizas.website made the LIFO slot stealable, so you can avoid the issue without turning the optimization off! https://github.com/tokio-rs/tokio/pull/743129 Apr 2026 17:23 +0000at://did:plc:geozyv62fx63m7jhr4eraubc/app.bsky.feed.post/3mknmgvphys26https://blacksky.community/profile/alilleybrinker.com/post/3mknlle6w6c2wRemember in Blade Runner 2049 how K goes home to Joi, his AI companion who is his only source of love and connection, and it's a symbol of his deep and punishing sadness?
