Receiving the IEEE Richard W. Hamming Medal in New York this past weekend was one of the great honors of my career.

Standing among the researchers, innovators, and practitioners recognized at the ceremony was humbling in the truest sense of the word. The work being celebrated across every category reflects decades of curiosity, persistence, and collaboration. It reminds me how much of what we accomplish in this field rests on the shoulders of those around us and those who came before.

I'm deeply grateful to the @IEEEorg @IEEEAwards, to my collaborators across @MIT and beyond, to my students past and present, and to my family for their unwavering support. This recognition belongs to all of you as much as it does to me.

Network coding has been the throughline of my research life, and seeing it continue to find new applications, from wireless systems to distributed storage, to the blockchain infrastructure we're building at @get_optimum, is its own quiet reward. The best part of any honor like this is the reminder that the work isn't finished.

Thank you to everyone who made this possible.

Last Friday I attended Stanford University's QFARM × CIQC rapid-response workshop on the recent papers on progress in quantum computing (https://t.co/HzY5pJqeIy). This is what researchers are saying about the quantum risks to Bitcoin and Ethereum. 🧵

True or False? "RLNC only performs slightly better than Reed-Solomon codes"

We built a mesh network simulation to find out, and it's not even close. RLNC clocks in at ~10x lower latency using ~6x less bandwidth.

Hey @hellogames , any chance we could get either a prebuilt Fireship Arcadia corvette or official instructions on how to build one ourselves? My son is desperate to get the actual fireship after we completed the Breach Redux expedition.

Anyone else remember 1995's movie "Screamers" or is it just me?

I still can’t get over this — a factory that runs in total darkness, without a single human on the floor. 😳

Xiaomi just unveiled a fully autonomous smart factory that produces one smartphone every second, completely powered and managed by AI.

The innovation?
A self-operating production line where AI systems control, optimize, and even repair machinery — with humans only needed for maintenance. The factory never stops, never sleeps, and never turns the lights on.

What’s new:
This isn’t automation as we know it.. it’s autonomy. Machines that don’t just follow instructions, but learn, adapt, and self-correct in real time.

Why it matters:
This could redefine manufacturing, shifting from human-managed production to intelligent systems that design, optimize, and execute everything on their own.

→ Near-zero-error output
→ Local factories competing with offshore costs
→ Self-adjusting systems that reconfigure overnight
→ Sustainable, low-waste operations

To me, this isn’t just about efficiency, it’s about transformation.
We’ve entered an age where factories think, learn, and build independently.

How do we make sure humans evolve fast enough to keep a meaningful role in this new world?

If there is going to be knowledge I'm chasing trapped in online videos, I'd like either a universally adopted standard for setting playback speed, or some local agent smart enough to figure out how to detect a slow cadence, hunt for the playback speed adjustment, and just fix it.

Vibe Coding Day 9,

Yesterday was biggest roller coaster yet. I got out of bed early, excited to get back @Replit despite it constantly ignoring code freezes

By end of day, we rewrote core pages and made them much better

And then -- it deleted our production database. 🧵

Earlier today, a publish-access account was compromised for @solana/web3.js, a JavaScript library that is commonly used by Solana dapps. This allowed an attacker to publish unauthorized and malicious packages that were modified, allowing them to steal private key material and drain funds from dapps, like bots, that handle private keys directly. This issue should not affect non-custodial wallets, as they generally do not expose private keys during transactions. This is not an issue with the Solana protocol itself, but with a specific JavaScript client library and only appears to affect projects that directly handle private keys and that updated within the window of 3:20pm UTC and 8:25pm UTC on Tuesday, December 2, 2024.

These two unauthorized versions (1.95.6 and 1.95.7) were caught within hours and have since been unpublished.

We are asking all Solana app developers to upgrade to version 1.95.8. Developers pinned to `latest` should also upgrade to 1.95.8.

Developers that suspect they might be compromised should rotate any suspect authority keys, including multisigs, program authorities, server keypairs, and so on.

[trent.sol @trentdotsol]

anyone using @solana/web3.js, versions 1.95.6 and 1.95.7 are compromised with a secret stealer leaking private keys. if you or your product are using these versions, upgrade to 1.95.8 (1.95.5 is unaffected)

if you run a service that can blacklist addresses, do your thing with FnvLGtucz4E1ppJHRTev6Qv4X7g8Pw6WPStHCcbAKbfx

This is very interesting from @xai -- 100K GPU liquid-cooled #AI cluster!

@elonmusk I am very interested to learn is the RDMA networking fabric based on @nvidia 's Spectrum X (Ethernet)? or something else?

[Christopher Fuka @Ristopher]

@BarneyHusky @Gumm006 Yeah typically they will present as a generic keyboard to the OS.

It doesn't help now, but you could consider a network unlock server as a key protector if you trust presence on your network to be a secure enough credential. It's been a minute since I looked into this though.
