Ok so I subbed back to Disney+ pretty much only to watch The Muppets Christmas Carol.

But who on Earth told them we needed a live-action/CGI Lilo & Stitch?! Own up!

Already the first few minutes felt wrong. Does it get better?

i implemented Ascon-Hash256 in Amaranth! (as well as laid the groundwork for the rest of Ascon family functions, including Ascon-AEAD128)

it comes at 1268 LUTs for iCE40 in the "compact" configuration, processing an average of 5.3 bit/cycle. a little expensive, but modern and cheaper than many better known alternatives

Holy crap what a stat

'Between 2001 and 2014, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan cost the US an estimated $1.5 trillion to $1.7 trillion in direct spending. Global AI spending, according to Gartner, is forecast to reach nearly $1.5 trillion this year, putting today's AI boom in the same cash-burning league as two major wars.'

After 15 months of hard work, my dad has finished this impressive model of Minas Tirith! It is 1.4 m high and entirely hand-made out of wood. One of the most time-consuming parts was manually engraving the bricks on all walls and buildings, but this was key to properly convey the huge size of the city. Everything was painted by hand, adding some wear and tear. For a behind-the-scenes look at how he built this check out this video: youtube.com/watch?v=Z1Ywlc8ojjE

A model of a tall fortress city. Buildings are arranged in different circular levels, each smaller than the one below, like a wedding cake. All levels are crowded with lots of different buildings and towers of various sizes, giving the city a busy look. On the top level there's a palace and a tall spire. There's a huge flat rocky spur slicing the city in half. The buildings and rocks are mostly white. The model rests on a table, with some tools visible in the background.

RE: mendeddrum.org/@fanf/115791581

A thing that's been annoying me in tech jargon: "VPN" means two very different things.

1. A piece of restricted network address space, which only authorised people can access.
2. A way to access public network resources indirectly, forwarding via an intermediary.

They both _work_ in more or less the same way: encapsulate inner IP traffic via cryptography and framing, re-send it over the public Internet, verify and decrypt on arrival. They differ in what's done with the traffic after decryption. So it makes sense from that point of view that they share an acronym: the acronym describes the mechanics of what the software is doing. In some cases the same software tool is flexible enough to do either job.

But in spite of that, they're very different in what they're used for. Moreover, they don't really interpret the acronym in the same way: "private" is doing very different work in the two cases, and so is "network".

In sense 1, "network" means a specific _area_ of the network – an address space full of clients and servers. And it's private in the sense of "not public": not everyone is allowed to use that network at all.

But in sense 2, "network" doesn't refer to clients and servers at all, but to the transport in between them. And "private" doesn't mean the network _is_ private, it means it preserves _your_ privacy.

This ambiguity can actually confuse! The blog post linked from the quoted toot starts off by saying "the US government is coming down hard on VPNs". I initially assumed it meant sense 2: the spooks want to eavesdrop, so they're against people using tools that make it harder. Seemed very plausible, given the current state of the crypto wars. But in fact it's talking about sense 1: they think you shouldn't be relying on restricted-access address spaces to keep your network resources secure (instead you should secure each one well enough that it would be safe even if an attacker did get in to the private network).

It's too late to say that "VPN" means only one of these two things. But maybe it's not too late to invent a pair of more specific words, to distinguish the two senses without having to write a whole clarifying extra sentence.

我又想到印尼朋友跟我描述,他們搭機遇到亂流時的恐慌情況,然後問我有沒有遇過亂流?

我淡淡的說,可能有吧,但因為台灣人平常地震習慣了,在機上就算有點晃,可能也直接忽略。
