The serious point I’m trying to make is that there’s a distinct “before” and “after” when it comes to events. Things that were inconceivable prior to an event can become obvious after. But it’s important to think about what should be obvious *before* important people are panicking.

So this is a silly story, but for a year or two in 2013/2014 I went around telling everyone I could find about this little cryptography library called “OpenSSL” and how it was used everywhere, but had almost no developers or security budget.

This never gets old (& also shows how hard forecasting AI is even for AI) “Hey Claude Fable & GPT-6 Astra, Without looking anything up, when do you think we will solve the Exponential Time Hypothesis?” (I only show part of the answers for space)

oh him? oh yeah that's the entity

In all seriousness, we haven’t seen a single serious cryptanalysis result since July 28. Not even one little broken cipher that nobody cares about. What’s more plausible: that all cryptanalysis work in the last 90 days has turned up nothing, or cryptanalysis results are being deliberately withheld?

ELIZABETH: I’m not really familiar with the Sugondese people either. NATHAN: Okay. BILLY: I hear you Nathan, and your line of questioning is valid. But I think what she’s too nice to say is that if the Sugondese won’t assimilate with our culture, they shouldn’t be allowed in our country.

ok non-tech ppl might be hearing some scary things about "critical vulnerabilities" involving certificates. the main thing you need to know, without getting down in the weeds about it, is that the fourth seal is broken. lo, a rider approacheth upon a pale steed, and his name is Death

details leaked. this vulnerability is a full unauthenticated unconditional remote code execution exploit against any service running on a PHP version from 5.4 until latest yeah if anything deserves CVSS 11, this is it. this is CATACLYSMICALLY bad.

of course im not optimizing on undefined behavior. there's no undefined behavior to optimize on :) why would i miscompile your program. i don't have any reason to do that
