This week: Claude figured out the NIST ECDSA curve seeds came from a 1990s C RNG seeded with timestamps, not a backdoor. Also: zero-click spyware riding on targeted ads, and Google quietly linking your phone number across accounts. https://paragraph.com/@kazani/blogchain-october-18-2026?referrer=0x45e43896d1FBA7CecbF034d82D790BB71cB5e589

My RAG bot scored 26/26 on my eval. Then a trace showed one LLM call finishing in 0.08s. Too fast to be real. The gateway was caching identical requests, so every repeat eval looked faster than real use. The score couldn't see it. Wrote up the 4-stage build and what each measurement caught. Code is public.

is the web client pretty much unusable for other folks these days? I like the ai angle though simple things like publishing a draft can get kafka-esque do loops

In case you didn't know the numbers ... but you probably expected that Substack has 35 million registered accounts, and the top 1% of their newsletters capture roughly 90% of the attention, revenue, and readership. 🤔 Pretty much the same as in other industries but looks brutal when put into writing 🚨
