"Trump’s political project is seen by the MAGA faithful as utterly righteous, the work of God on earth against the forces of Satan. But he has broad license to transgress all moral boundaries as he does that work. When he does so, it doesn’t cause MAGA Christians to reevaluate whether he’s actually on the side of the angels."

When I saw the other journalists that were nominated, I didn't think there was a chance (e.g. ProPublica was nominated for their excellent investigative reporting uncovering the Pentagon's reliance on Chinese contractors for cloud work). I'm very flattered to be in such great company. Thank you to the Institute for Security and Technology (IST) for this award.

Last night's IST gala at the National Press Club was a stroll down memory lane in many ways. Ran into people I haven't seen in person for ages, and most of them have been involved in shaping cybersecurity policy for 25+ years.

It was also bittersweet because I spent a lot of time at the Press Club as a reporter at The Washington Post, and I'm still livid about the insanity of the 300 or so WaPo journalists who lost their jobs this week.

I'm particularly mystified by the decimation of the Post's Metro staff; despite its stature as a top source of national and international news, The Washington Post has always maintained a strong focus on what's going on in the DC area. When they merged washingtonpost.com with the dead tree edition in 2009 and eliminated my job, the mantra of the company was they wanted to be THE source of news about what's happening in the Nation's Capital, and how policy being made in DC affects the rest of the world. Here's part of what I told the audience last night:

"I was horrified this week to see The Washington Post lay off 300 of its 800 remaining journalists -- the third major staff reduction in as many years. A lot of the cuts are deeply affecting the foreign and local metro staff; it's easy to forget the Watergate scandal started as a metro story. Probably we need several hundred more reporters digging into what this administration is doing, because Watergate frankly can't hold a candle to it all."

"I'm hoping all of the post-Posties will land in a better place soon, but I also hope they can keep doing their important work regardless of where it comes from. And I will continue to advocate for, support and encourage anyone who wants to go the independent route. I think journalism is going to be just fine for now, but I'm not sure I share the same view about many traditional news organizations. I hear from a lot of reporters considering the going out on their own worry about not having a big publication name to automatically open doors for them, or watch their backs legally, and those are certainly big adjustments of going solo. But you know what makes all that worth it? When you're breaking news that forces important people to answer hard questions, and the gatekeepers go, wait, who are you with again?"

If it’s time for open source to get political that means accessibility and project demographics that reflect society, correct?

It means conferences that are safe for disabled people and gender minorities, correct? It means conferences without racist nonsense, correct?

It means equitable funding practices that don’t require playing silly games with corrupt “anti-corruption” practices, and no need for small projects to hire grant writers, correct?

It means looking at the impact of EU tech supply chains on the Global Majority, and giving money to local projects instead of trying to get a bunch of pale Europeans to cut out the “White Man’s Burden 3.0: Bleep Bloop Computers” nonsense, correct?

Or do organisations mean “getting political” to mean “Murica bad, Europe good”? Same nonsense, but the US flag has an EU flag stuck on over it. Not that, correct?

핸드폰에다가, 자기 전 까지 충전케이블이 연결되어있지 않으면 "저전력 경고 : 충전기가 연결되지 않았습니다. 충전을 시작해주세요." 라고 말하게끔 설정을 해놨는데

가끔 잊어버려서 안꽂아놓고 있으면 이따금씩 자는도중에 큰소리로 저소리해서 깜짝 놀라는 경우가 종종 있어요...

....안꽂아놓을수가 없어서 효과는 확실함

클로드가 2주 동안 gcc 호환되는 컴파일러를 만들어서 다들 놀라고 있다.

한가지 고려해야할 부분은, 애초에 소프트웨어 공학 자체가 큰틀에서 설계를 잘하면(클로드는 이미 현존하는 가장 훌륭한 설계도 알고 있을 것이다) 나머지는 꾸역꾸역 코드를 짜서 제품을 완성할수 있게하는게 목표란거다. 그러니까 클로드가 C 파서를 짰다고 하면 2026년 지금은 아무도 안놀라겠지. 근데 소프트웨어 공학 지식은 C 파서를 짤수 있는 인간이 더 많은 시간을 투자하면 C 컴파일러도 짤수 있게 해준다.

그래서 모델의 성능이 좋아질수록 마치 RPG에서 레벨이 오르면 새로운 장비를 착용할수 있게 되어 급격히 강해지는것과 같은 일을 보게될거 같다. 하지만 이때 장비를 착용할수 있는 능력과 장비를 만들 수 있는 능력을 구분할 필요는 있다. 이제 후자가 AI 회사의 다음 목표인셈인데..

自己想要也喜歡自己打扮得漂漂亮亮的,但我知道大家其實一點都不在意自己有沒有細心打扮
就算偷懶也沒有人看得出來
再怎麼修飾也不如其他天生就漂亮的人們⋯⋯從頭到尾只是自我陶醉而已
看著卸妝油慢慢被化妝品染色然後一起被水沖進水槽排水孔裡,我或許就和那些曾經在臉上的彩妝差不多
看起來好像很厲害但從來不是永久的也很難維持,存在意義只是為了襯出其他事物的美好,最後還弄得水很髒

Ich habe seit einiger Zeit mal wieder an meinem Reisehandbuch gearbeitet und bin wieder über erstaunliches gestoßen. Wusstet Ihr, dass nachdem 1833 die Sklaverei im Vereinigten Königreich abgeschafft wurde, die ehemaligen Sklavenbesitzer entschädigt wurden, die ehemaligen Sklav*innen aber nicht? Und dass diese Zahlungen so hoch waren, dass die Regierung einen Kredit dafür aufnehmen musste, der erst 2015 gänzlich abbezahlt war?
