somewhat ironic that everyone is posting about how perelman is the only human to have solved a millennium prize problem when one of the main reasons he rejected the prize was because it ignored the work done by hamilton

excited to talk about the (mostly) boring vulns we have, with a slight digression about how LLMs have completely turned the way vulns are found upside down 🙃

i'm sorry, i have zero interesting in consuming a "companion podcast", i'd like to watch your slop tv show, derive my own opinions, and then immediately forget everything about it 30 minutes later

I need to see how many I'll have after my initial disbursement, but send me an address and if I have surplus I'll send one your way

Happy to send one over! Let me know where to ship it and I'll try to get one out this week (I think you have my @google.com email, or DM works)

did something very silly, may have some at gophercon this year if you ever sent us a vulnerability report or contributed to Go crypto (or are just nice to me) thanks to @ljamesart.bsky.social who did the great art!

genuine question: why are the HTTPS page load numbers so much lower on Linux? is it really just people doing local development, or is there some other weird thing causing this? transparencyreport.google.com/https/overview

genuinely confused why people are so interested in this, but hey whatever

I recently passed my 5 year anniversary at Google on the Go team (thanks to them for reminding me), which also means it's been about 10 years since I first joined the Let's Encrypt team. It's been amazing to see the projects grow over those years, and I couldn't be prouder to have worked on them.
