Adding value @googlechrome security. Host @scwpod, cofounder of @censysio, cryptography, startups. “Ruthlessly practical". DJB says I’m an NSA plant. Go blue!

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 https://t.co/AEpsJC0ssJ

@Samhanknr @tqbf It's not TFW! This has been known for over a decade. That's the whole point Thomas and I are making.

Wow, it only took Steve Yegge 21 years to realize Google is not good at interviewing. What an amazing insight from Steve Yegge, something completely novel. Truly the power of Steve Yegge.

If you think you’re willing to do anything for your startup’s success, think again.

This is me making out with a guy for investor money.

@TurnerNovak Realizing OAI is actually top of D

[David Adrian @dadrian]

@TurnerNovak C has Jefferson Square and the upper part of Dogpatch near Chase Center where OpenAi is headquartered, and a swath of Soma.

@_lopopolo Got Jean Luc-Picard. This is going straight to my ego.

Just talked to @lcamtuf for @SCWpod and was tOdAy YeArS oLd when I learned that I could buy and download his new book, which looks amazing, right now. Which is what I'm doing. https://t.co/ESYWvKJawn

But it turns out there's a 1:1 and onto relationship between "people I already thought were useless" and "people who use AI for writing"

[David Crawshaw @davidcrawshaw]

@mitchellh That sounds right, looking at all the broken products I see announced. Which suggests agents are just multipliers: the copy-paste crowd can paste faster, the loves-computers crowd gets to do more with computers.

Good coworkers matter more than ever.

But what if there was one more?

[Jonathon Belotti @jonobelotti_IO]

There's about 80 products in the agent sandboxing space right now. By YC Summer '26 we could hit 100

I love AI. I use it all the time. I code with it. I brainstorm with it. I use it for research. I use it to learn.

But I never write with it.

@bgurley @BlackLabelAdvsr IMHO houses in a neighborhood but super set back are depressing as hell! Would rather have a dense mansion than a 1 acre lot where I still have neighbors.

@Noahpinion Europe is a third-world country.

[David Adrian @dadrian]

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.

[David Adrian @dadrian]

@stevesi Hard to say anything other than late night TV overall is considerably less popular than it was in 1992?

[David Adrian @dadrian]

@stevesi Doesn't that just go to show that this is perhaps reductive and not a great way to measure the various shows, since there are so many confounding effects?
