And I want to take a second to shout out crazyguyonabike.com. Besides a dope domain, it’s the web as it should be: no ads, minimal bullshit, an online community run by its own members and not one of the five trillion+ dollar tech companies. Consider donating a couple bucks!

I’ve just set out on another bike tour, this time traveling across Nevada, Utah and however much of Colorado I feel like when I get there. Follow along on my tour journal, which I’ll update daily, connectivity allowing. crazyguyonabike.com/doc/timg-weste…

@chelseakomlo Or over in Privacy Preserving Measurements@IETF, deployments need guidance on sizing anonymity sets and choosing differential privacy parameters. Lots of opportunities for research and collaboration with industry!

@chelseakomlo Help practitioners and standards writers choose good, safe parameters for cryptosystems! For example, this work by a Princeton team that helped Let's Encrypt choose how many validation perspectives to run and where to put them. usenix.org/conference/use…

To anyone working on real-world cryptography- what would you like to see more of in cryptography research for 2024? Readable papers? Performance measurements? Accounting for specific failure cases? More PQ? Acceptance of non-standard assumptions? Solving certain problems?

The answer is *out there*

@cjpatton_ Only day 1

This is a spicy IETF!

@warlockracy Could you please share some leads on good FO:T mods?

Games that used to be mid, but eventually became great through expansions and/or custom content: Fallout Tactics (player campaigns) Neverwinter Nights 1 (custom modules) Skyrim (an engine for projects like Requiem) Fallout 4 (Beth-produced Far Harbor and survival mode).

Hoy es domingo, mi día de descanso. Para mí, descansar significa dejar de pensar en cosas o en seres, permitiendo que el pensamiento vacío repte por el mundo como un río. Si estas sola o solo, y por eso sufres, realizas estos siguientes actos surrealistas. A las 3 de la tarde, si dejas de desear que algo o alguien sea de ti, come un trozo de pan dulce y confórmate con la soledad. A las 6 de la tarde, para hacer descansar a tu cuerpo desnudo, en lugar de jabonarte, cubre toda tu piel de mermelada de fresas y toma un baño de una hora. A las 9 de la noche, con zapatos y un traje completo, toma una ducha sin desvestirte, cantando tu canción preferida. A las 12 de la noche, con el cuerpo desnudo, da 78 brincos en tu cama, lanzando carcajadas y ponte a dormir. Si hoy mis consejos no te gustan, pinta todo tu cuerpo de negro y pasa todo el día sin hacer nada. Te envío un gran abrazo, Alejandro . photo by @PascaleMJodo

@daryakaviani @I_S_R_G @0xjosh @SarahGrrrrrrran @jpmorgan @Meta Shoutout also to @cjpatton_ and the team at Cloudflare also building stuff with Prio! I believe they call it “cooperative analytics”.

Here are some of the deployments we’ve listed so far ⤵️ Private Analytics: @i_s_r_g (@sigtim @0xjosh @sarahgrrrrrrran) Private Inventory Matching: @jpmorgan Private Advertising: @meta

@ralucaadapopa and I are excited to release the MPC Deployments dashboard at mpc.cs.berkeley.edu. In recent years, MPC (secure multi-party computation) has seen an increase in deployments and adoption in real-world applications. Learn about them and submit more. ⤵️

This is a great paper and its recommendations are already adopted in IETF standards coming soon to a computer near you. Come see us at the PPM and CFRG sessions at IETF 117 in San Francisco if you want to talk about it!

@nickfourtimes Ah, started Mason & Dixon then?

@ekr____ @CDCgov Whoa, congrats! Are you going to make us turn exposure notifications back on now?

Excited to announce that I'm joining the Center for Forecasting and Outbreak Analytics at @CDCGov as Chief Technologist. I've been a CDC fan ever since reading Disease Detectives as a kid, so thrilled to be part of the team. linkedin.com/feed/update/ur…

@Finnematic James Woods is one of yours! Michael Ironside from SCANNERS is a Canadian legend, though.

@nickfourtimes Sorry brother I don’t mean to be a nag. I just get a little worked up when I think about libraries.

@nickfourtimes I double dog dare all you MFs to make use of shared public infrastructure Borrow books Ride buses Sit in parks While you still can

@nickfourtimes I dare you to borrow the DVDs from the library

@nickfourtimes Please lmk how it goes. I want to tackle big poppa’s big book someday myself and had planned to use Harvey’s lectures.

@cjpatton_ This is exactly why I keep asking you to file an issue instead.

In code comments I'll usually include my github username with TODOs, e.g., `TODO(cjpatton)`, so that whoever is reading the comment knows who to ping to follow-up. I'm worried this may be misinterpret as "cjpatton owns this TODO". Thoughts?
