With Real World Cryptography coming up next week, I wanted to take an opportunity to point out that our current post-quantum cryptographic primitives are not suitable for the web dadrian.io/blog/posts/pqc…

If you are a Star Wars fan and are surprised that George said this, then you don't know ball.

@grittygrease You mean the metrics system that doesn't work and no one uses, and the messaging system that the IETF made worse and took an additional 4 years to finish?

@dadrian Really? PPM? MLS?

The more I talk to people about my work at the IETF the more I realize just how poorly understood its processes are outside a niche community. It’s surprising because of how critical the IETF’s work is: they define the standards that make the Internet go (HTTP, TCP, TLS, DNS, …)

OSS authors don’t have to be professional. This is very confusing to people who are paid a salary to do open source work. The truly independent are throwing their work into the void and can do anything they want.

@matthew_d_green @paulg I scored higher on the english GRE than the math GRE. When I told @jhalderm this, he burst out laughing.

@paulg The fact that these tests matter so much to the course of your life is a sign of a broken society. None of this yields the sort of people we want. The whole thing is sort of a disaster.

I took an SAT English practice test. I got two questions wrong, which meant my score was 760. One was a grammar mistake I might have caught if I'd checked my answers. The other was about a fictional character's state of mind and there were two answers that seemed reasonable.

"Claude, make me a Chrome extension to play extremely loud diarrhea noises whenever there's a new email to the IETF TLS WG. Make no mistakes."

Oddly large amount of bear encounter content across all platforms right now. This must be a pysop from Big Bear

All space operas must eventually introduce Space Whales

@AustinRogerRyan I think you mean JewelOsco

How did a city as cool as Chicago produce a grocery store as chud Jewel??

@creatine_cycle @capydotai One Gen Z drinker obsessing with splitting the G, checks out.

just checking in on the gen Z startup office

explaining to my friend that i can’t go on his podcast because there’s limited upside and unlimited downside

@emilyinvc They’re at The Motto

what i love is the backdrop looks like a three star hilton in times square

SITUATION DETECTED: President Trump has signed two executive orders directing the US to build a powerful quantum computer for scientific research by 2028 and migrate key government systems to post-quantum cryptography by 2030.

@Noahpinion What are you doing in the DMV?

Arlington, VA has some amazing pockets of high density. 😍

@stevesi You motivated me to write about this

Loosely agreed, but I think only slightly less popular. Letterman also clearly less popular than Carson. Not clear to me this has much to do with the host versus national trends. Colbert was clearly popular with GenX and Boomers, whereas Letterman was men in their late 20s and 30s. Audience seems to have aged with the show.

55M people watched the final Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. 15M people watched the final Jay Leno. 14M people watched the final David Letterman.

About a month late, but I finally wrote about The Late Show ending dadrian.io/blog/posts/the…

@AustinRogerRyan It's OK because life is a highway

Kinda crazy they paved paradise and put up a parking lot
