Doesn't feel good slipping into irrelevance does it. This dude was complaining about having no funding and planning to leave the US just a few years ago, now he's all over the place giving talks and lecturing people about AI. He's got the classic case of epistemic trespassing

Well written, apology accepted. Thank you Tailscale!
reader9274··on Elevators
I feel like most cases of wait times are due to elevators "waiting" empty in the wrong floor. They either all wait in the bottom floor, or all wait where they were last left at. Would be better if their waiting floors were distributed throughout the floors so that first response is fast.
reader9274··on Discovering Cryptographic Weaknesses with Claude
Leading with: "identifies a new way to attack round-reduced AES, the most widely used symmetric cipher"

First, they don't exist and 10k of them will never exist. Second, nothing would happen, the power will be minuscule and last for a very short time focused on such a small patch.

What's his "company"?
reader9274··on DKIM2 and DMARCbis Have Landed
> Isn’t that already what DMARC does though? For DMARC to pass you need DKIM _or_ SPF alignment, not both.

But now if SPF passes and is aligned, DMARC passes (it doesn't matter what DKIM's status is). OP here wants to complete skip the SPF check entirely.

reader9274··on Perform DFU Restores on Apple Silicon Macs with Macvdmtool (2021)
Beautiful tool, much better than having to press multiple buttons with some specific timed order and hold your tongue at the right angle like you're summoning some Apple genie
reader9274··on Ask for no, don't ask for yes (2022)
This is what advertising companies do to use your data unless you explicitly request to opt out. Hasn't worked out well
reader9274··on The Future of Email
We need email end to end encryption. Good to see Google getting into that world, we need Apple and others to join too.

What's the difference between police looking up geofence data for the bank before and after a robbery to see who was there, and checking the bank's outdoor cameras to see what license plates were there?
reader9274··on NASA Shuts Off Instrument on Voyager 1 to Keep Spacecraft Operating
I had the honor and pleasure to take a class from the venerable professor, JPL director, and Voyager project scientist Ed Stone at Caltech in 2018. He excitedly told us a "secret" on November 1st that Voyager 2 had reached interstellar space, and he showed us the actual data proving it. But we had to keep it a secret until the press release that Monday, November 5. It was a special moment to see his passion for the project almost 50 years in, and felt incredibly special to hear it directly from him. RIP professor.
