Rasmus takes us through the critical PHP vulnerabilities disclosed on 21 October. PHP runs a large share of the web. The flaws were found with the help of an AI model, and independently by another security team, and fixes were released on the day of disclosure. That raises a bigger question: the same tools that can find and fix flaws are available to everyone, and regulation is a long way behind.
Jens brings a story about a planned 61-metre observation tower in St. Louis, designed by LoüTeq in structural engineered bamboo and stainless steel, with press technology from Denmark's Kallesøe Machinery. Bamboo is a grass, not wood, and new bio-based building materials are exciting. But a material is only better if its life-cycle footprint is, adhesives and processing included. Which leads to the question: how much processing is too much?
We also touch on Tesla's new Roadster, and Rasmus ends on a collab beer brewed with pizza crusts that tasted like any good hazy IPA. If you can't taste it, why put it in?
Pull up a chair and listen in.
