Had a 2.4k modem in the office and when the phone bill came in after downloading some shareware at work I said upgrading to 14.4k modem would pay for itself in one quarter and they feel for it 😂

Love this, agree with it, and have experienced much of the same. As a leader you’re always influencing, whether good or…actually bad. And very few things are perfectly right or wrong, with nearly everything in a some shade of gray. A wonderfully written post from @baweaver.bsky.social

Data centers in space are a terrible, horrible, no good idea. The science here is fascinating, and I deeply appreciate the author’s mix of (relatively) deep technicals with common sense analogy. taranis.ie/datacenters-...

Datacenters in space are a terrible, horrible, no good idea.

There is a rush for AI companies to team up with space launch/satellite companies to build datacenters in space. TL;DR: It's not going to work.

there should be a dedicated airline for people who are quick at getting on and off of planes, thus making the tickets marginally cheaper. but you have to do a speed test before they'll let you buy one.

A bit over two years after starting to work on it... Go is officially FIPS 140-3 certified 💥 csrc.nist.gov/projects/cry... I am pretty confident Go is now one of the most—if not the most—seamless and complete FIPS 140-3 compliance solutions... with a single env var, out of the box.

I am *begging* everyone to understand that pasting what is very clearly an AI generated long list of bullet points with bolded headers in a chat response may feel very thorough and helpful to you as the sender but it’s actually quite the opposite.

Two papers came out last week that suggest classical asymmetric cryptography might indeed be broken by quantum computers in just a few years. That means we need to ship post-quantum crypto now, with the tools we have: ML-KEM and ML-DSA. I didn't think PQ auth was so urgent until recently.

The risk that cryptographically-relevant quantum computers materialize within the next few years is now high enough to be dispositive, unfortunately.

So it's a meme where there's two people in a bus. They're sitting opposite sides. One of them is looking at rocks because they're driving up the mountain. And he looks very sad and disturbed.

And he's thinking "tailor-made software is a commodity now". And then there's the other guy sitting opposite who's looking at a beautiful landscape with the sun kissing the mountains. And a little river nestled amongst the peaks. And he's thinking: "tailor-made software is a commodity now".
