Supabase MCP can leak your entire SQL database

Model Context Protocol (MCP) has emerged as a standard way for LLMs to interact with external tools. While this unlocks new capabilities, it also introduces new risk surfaces. In this post, we show how an attacker can exploit Supabase’s MCP integration to leak a developer’s private SQL tables. The Problem LLMs are often used to process data according to pre-defined instructions. The system prompt, user instructions, and the data context is provided to the LLM as text.

The Tradeoffs of SSMs and Transformers

This blog post was adapted from a talk I’ve given a handful of times over the last year. It was meant to be a high-level talk accessible to a fairly broad audience, but hopefully has some interesting insights, opinions, and intuitions around sequence models for the dedicated researchers too. State Space Models Just so we’re on the same page, I’ll start by defining what I mean by a state space model. (This section isn’t strictly necessary to get to the main part of this post though; feel free t

Bootstrapping a side project into a profitable seven-figure business

Bootstrapping a side project into a profitable seven-figure business in four years. We really did it! We bootstrapped ProjectionLab to $1,000,000 in annual recurring revenue. And I’m still processing that this is real. 🥹 Back in 2021, I was inspired by the financial independence movement and wanted a better way to plan my own life. I couldn’t find the right tool, so I started building. I had no idea that side project would one day help over 100,000 households plan for their financial future

I tested the 4 most popular health trackers for a year - and they're on sale for Prime Day

The Oura Ring is, in my opinion, the sleep and health tracker to rule them all. Not only does it track your sleep, stress, activity, and more, it also creates helpful data illustrations that encourages healthy habits, whether that's a consistent bedtime routine, daily activity, or reduced alcohol consumption. Many users, myself included, have reported changing their drinking habits after seeing their heart rate's response to a few beers late at night on Oura's graphs. Earning high sleep scores

Supabase MCP leaks your entire SQL Database, a lethal trifecta attack

From Budget to ‘Wait, Is This Free?’, These JBL Headphones Get Prime Day Magic

The Movie Everyone Thought Would Be ‘Dune Messiah’ Is Now Officially ‘Dune: Part 3’

Though there’s still no official release date, Dune fans have long assumed director Denis Villeneuve is readying production on the third film in the sci-fi series.

It’s… drum roll… Dune: Part Three. According to Variety, Dune: Part Three is still expected to release in December 2026, the slot previously re

How The New York Times is (still) getting gamed by the right

Lately, it has been difficult to ignore a tendency at The New York Times to make astonishingly bad news judgments. The paper’s obsession with a view from nowhere is long-standing, but as Republicans increasingly circulate insane conspiracy theories and racist nonsense, the cult of centrism has taken a self-destructive turn. The most recent — and perhaps most egregious — way this has surfaced is a story about New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani’s application to Columbia University in 2009,

I’ve tested every cheap Samsung phone: Here are the ones you should buy in 2025

The secret to Samsung’s ultra-cheap success is its commitment to software updates. Like the rest of the Galaxy A series, the Galaxy A16 is set up for a full six years of support, carrying it right into the start of the 2030s. That works out to a per-update cost of around $30, better than the Galaxy A26’s per-update cost of $50 or the Galaxy S24 FE’s price of around $90 for each major patch. Granted, you’re paying for much more than just software support, but it’s a good place to start if you wan
