Sharing my Reading Notes: Midnight’s Machines by Arun Mohan Sukumar : a political history of technology in India. Mixed reaction: rich research and archival references, but a bit heavy on continuous conclusions. Still, it opened new historical entry points and questions for me : https://t.co/JgFAUehkoL
@neetcode1 Really, I think benchmarks miss quite a few things. For example, LLMs are quite good at somethings and fail miserably at things humans think are easy : reading a analog clock :-)
@eyalestrin Structure of the guidance seems good. Good to see that guidance calls for crypto agility of industrial protocols which would help in the migration to post quantum cryptography (PQC).
@ollieatnowhere@NCSC Liked the structure of the guidance. Good to see that guidance calls for crypto agility of industrial protocols which would help in the migration to post quantum cryptography (PQC).
@FBI Liked the structure of the guidance. it’s not just “8 principles”, it’s actionable. Each principle comes with focused “further reading”, so teams can actually implement vs argue theory.
@NCSC Liked it!, it’s not just “8 principles”, it’s actionable. Each principle comes with focused “further reading”, so teams can actually implement vs just checklist.
Yesterday (𝟏𝟒 𝐉𝐚𝐧 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔), a heavyweight group jointly put out 𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐩𝐫𝐢��𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐎𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲 (𝐎𝐓) led by the UK NCSC.
It’s built around 𝟖 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐬. But what really stands out to
me is how usable it is: for each principle they’ve attached focused “further reading” resources so teams can actually go implement the idea.
And in 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐨𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐬, they explicitly call for crypto agility (being able to swap/upgrade algorithms),
What surprised me is that OpenAI, which originally partnered with Bing for search, now also runs its own search-focused crawler. That’s separate from GPTBot, which is aimed at crawling content for training OpenAI’s generative models. https://t.co/cSk1ih3LeT
When I was going through access logs of my newly launched personal website, beyond the usual scanners and crawlers (BingBot, GoogleBot), I spotted something new: OpenAI’s 𝐎𝐀𝐈-𝐒𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐁𝐨𝐭 : the crawler used to surface pages in ChatGPT’s search.
@sama Tried the GPT-5.2 on a real task: dropped in an entire C project repo and asked what to change to run it on Linux (it was built for Windows). It confidently said “Linux-ready” but when I actually ran it, I still had to swap out things like fopen_s / strcpy_s to get it compiling.
Understanding building rules isn’t.
I wrote about how I navigated Telangana Building rules for a 100–200 sq.m plot in Hyderabad (setbacks, height, stilt parking etc.).
