https://chuffed.org/project/150674-support-umm-mohammeds-family-to-rebuild-their-future-and-to-survive-amidst-the-genocide name is Karim. He is 11 years old today, but the war stole his childhood when he was only 10. In the war in Gaza, Karim lost a limb… and we lost our home, our safety, and everything we owned. Karim can no longer run like other children, but he still dreams. He dreams of living like them, of smiling without pain, and of having a future. We are a family who has nothing left. Our home was destroyed, our lives were shattered, and everything we knew was taken from us. But Karim’s heart is still alive, waiting for mercy, waiting for hope. Karim is not asking for much… Just a chance to live as a child, not as a victim of war. **

AI Can Now Easily Unmask Your Secret Online Life for $4

A new research paper from ETH Zurich, Anthropic, and MATS demonstrates that Large Language Models can automatically de-anonymize users across platforms like Reddit and Hacker News.​

The AI acts like a digital detective using a method called ESRC (Extract, Search, Reason, Calibrate). It scans a user's post history for subtle clues (hobbies, writing style, locations), searches the wider internet (LinkedIn, other forums) for matches, and uses complex reasoning to confirm the identity.​

The terrifying results:

• It correctly linked secret Hacker News usernames to real people 67% of the time (with 90% accuracy when it made a firm guess).​
• It successfully matched a person's separate Reddit accounts from different years 68% of the time.​
• The entire automated process costs only $4 per target.​

"Practical obscurity"-the idea that you're safe online because it takes too much human effort to connect your digital breadcrumbs-is dead. Anyone with a few dollars and an LLM API can now mass-dox thousands of pseudonymous accounts in minutes.

It was something that was consuming a lot of her time at work so I automated it. I’m using 3 cloud services and I’m well within the free tier of all of them, even with this week being peak load (it’s basically automating the sending of a bunch of emails for coordination purposes). All I had to pay for was the domain to get the emails working.

I have to say, there’s something so rewarding about small projects. I have complete control over the tech debt. I have complete control over the stack. I actually get to watch my one user use the software in person and give immediate feedback. The number of times she’s asked me for something and I’ve gotten it deployed within minutes has been so satisfying. And she’s so excited and grateful because I did 20 hours of work to save her a couple hundred and a lot of mental overhead.
