@DrHase78 @Cryptomytinkle email sent, thank you!

[Meredith L. Patterson @maradydd]

@DrHase78 @Cryptomytinkle No cancer, thank goodness. Can you point me to guidelines for diffuse chronic lipomatosis?

[Meredith L. Patterson @maradydd]

@tatarin_NFT @Groche19 @hoffmang I miss that handsome man.

[Meredith L. Patterson @maradydd]

@Cryptomytinkle Thanks. Unfortunately the available solutions are apparently "have half my colon resected and probably have to live with a colostomy bag" and "deal with it" and I'm not ready for a colostomy bag yet, so I've been learning how to deal with it.

Happy Independence Day to my American friends and family.

The statement "a republic -- if you can keep it" is now more relevant than ever.

[Meredith L. Patterson @maradydd]

@mroe1492 you'd need a JSON that isn't underspecified first (example: if an object literal contains the same key twice, which one counts?)

[Meredith L. Patterson @maradydd]

Zoomed in to langsec workshop this year. Dan Wallach, keynote speaker from DARPA, points out that upward of 80% of CVEs are rooted in parsers, one way or another.

[Meredith L. Patterson @maradydd]

Oh, and he checked. It didn't hallucinate any CVEs.

[Meredith L. Patterson @maradydd]

Oh wow. Wallach asked Gemini's "deep research" feature to find all the CVEs for popular JSON parsers and categorize them, and it took it half an hour. That's eons for an LLM.

I guess this says something about how many JSON parsers there are, and how many bugs they have.

@eternalism_4eva @SealOfTheEnd @dakami Yeah, he was type 1.

[Meredith L. Patterson @maradydd]

Four years ago, on this day, @dakami finally neglected himself to death.

We remember.

[Meredith L. Patterson @maradydd]

@SealOfTheEnd @dakami self-hatred, I think

[Meredith L. Patterson @maradydd]

@0xAbuPaolo @sergeybratus It's just diverticulosis, it won't kill me. It's just going to make shitting comfortably more of a priority as time goes on.

[Meredith L. Patterson @maradydd]

I've let my parents and @sergeybratus know that I won't be coming home for my birthday or langsec workshop. They took it well, and agree with my reasoning.

It is super weird to feel uncomfortable with the idea of crossing the border into my own country.

[Meredith L. Patterson @maradydd]

@ChrisHanlonCA @sneakin @sergeybratus @X indeed it is, from my end anyway

[Meredith L. Patterson @maradydd]

@ChrisHanlonCA @sergeybratus as do we all!
