You left out the best part of paying crypto: the fees
For the first time ever, I had to make a payment in crypto.

I can now confidently say that crypto payments combine the speed of a dial up modem and the ease of updating the drivers on a 1998 HP Laserjet printer.

Maybe metasploit should just rebrand to AI as any level of automation in attack tools seems to be news worthy these days when in reality it’s just the evolution of the exact same logic previously used by wide scale campaigns. There’s nothing truly novel here. #infosec #hacking #ai

More NIMBYism by people who have no concept of water usage this is only ~30k homes worth of water. The whole data center is bad because of its water usage is bordering propaganda and misinformation at this point.
Indianapolis residents have shut down a proposed Google data center.

The tech giant wanted to build a massive 500 acre facility, but people got organized and stopped them.

The $1 billion data center would've used one million gallons of water a day.

New: Defense contractor giant RTX has confirmed in a legally required filing that the cyberattack on its subsidiary, Collins Aerospace, which sparked days of airport delays and cancellations across Europe, was ransomware.

This comes hours after UK police say they arrested a suspect in his 40s.

Vote early and often for my friend
I was nominated for a SANS DMA - ICS/OT Practitioner of the Year, along with some impressive folks. Reverse engineering ICS malware is hard, but communicating the results is harder. Grateful to SANS for recognizing my work in this area.

And these people think AI can’t replace them?
Stop me if you've heard this advice before: CISA says the top three lessons from an incident response it recently conducted at a federal agency are: remediate vulnerabilities, test your response plan, and review your EDR alerts. www.cisa.gov/sites/defaul...

Ironic: Gartner had my post ridiculing Gartner removed. The one that shared Gartner's Magic Quadrant about AI Code Assistants, which does not include Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, and ranks Amazon above Cursor.

This one: github.blog/ai-and-ml/gi...

Are they embarrassed to share their Magic Quadrant?

These numbers are surprisingly low, I figured you’d need to have a lot more followers to be in the 99.9th percentile
If you have two followers, you are ahead of half of all Bluesky accounts.
If you have 400 followers, you are in the top 1%.

They should do an accept without presentation especially since getting a paper into these conferences is becoming more and more important to both researchers and businesses
Rumors going around are that NeurIPS PCs had to reject ~400 papers because of venue constraints that were in the accept pile.

Hard things like this happen but the PCs and conference should explicitly tell all the authors who had this happen to them. Or create something like accept w/o presentation.

ABC as a network is now preempting the show indefinitely.

So this is nationwide.
BREAKING

Nexstar Media, which owns around two dozen ABC affiliates, says it will preempt Jimmy Kimmel Live indefinitely tonight due to his commentary on Charlie Kirk’s assassination.

Important to note that the FCC has to sign-off on Nexstar’s aquistion of TEGNA media group.
