I'm releasing a new tool for all #tailscale users. `tss` is a fast, interactive tool to search, pick, and connect to your Tailscale nodes from the terminal. It works as an interactive TUI picker or a one-shot CLI that fuzzy-matches hostnames and connects you directly. github.com/berggren/tss/

I'm proud to have been invited by the Swedish Armed Forces 4th Cyber Defence Unit and to contribute to a team that placed third in Locked Shields, organised by CCDCOE. Strong teamwork between Swedish and French Armed Forces made it possible.

Some excellent work by @craiggidney.bsky.social that reduces the number of qubits (in a quantum computer) required to break RSA by 20-fold. If you don’t have a migration plan to safe algorithms, now is the time to start one!

Here's my end-of-year review of things we learned out about LLMs in 2024 - we learned a LOT of things simonwillison.net/2024/Dec/31/... Table of contents:

    The GPT-4 barrier was comprehensively broken
    Some of those GPT-4 models run on my laptop
    LLM prices crashed, thanks to competition and increased efficiency
    Multimodal vision is common, audio and video are starting to emerge
    Voice and live camera mode are science fiction come to life
    Prompt driven app generation is a commodity already
    Universal access to the best models lasted for just a few short months
    “Agents” still haven’t really happened yet
    Evals really matter
    Apple Intelligence is bad, Apple’s MLX library is excellent
    The rise of inference-scaling “reasoning” models
    Was the best currently available LLM trained in China for less than $6m?
    The environmental impact got better
    The environmental impact got much, much worse
    The year of slop
    Synthetic training data works great
    LLMs somehow got even harder to use
    Knowledge is incredibly unevenly distributed
    LLMs need better criticism
    Everything tagged “llms” on my blog in 2024

Since I'm trying out #Bluesky, I figured I should add in support for it in Unfurl! The v2024.11.20 release has some minor updates, but the biggest feature is the ability to parse a timestamp from Bluesky post IDs (or atproto TIDs). Example: dfir.blog/unfurl/?url=... Give it a try at unfurl.link!
