I sew, do the software security, garden, and wonder about the future.
I want to figure out how something works. That’s much more interesting to me than getting an end result that looks correct without knowing how I ended up there. It’s also a lot easier to verify the conclusions if I understand the intermediate steps.
Laurens Hofthe cyberpunk present is weird as fuck: the latest Shai Hulud malware wave contains an LLM prompt to create biological weapons and nuclear weapons, with the purpose to trip LLM safety refusals so that LLM-based code scanning wont see the malware
I’m pretty sure there are at least 5 places in my town to get baklava, and I don’t think I’ve tried any of them. I should probably fix that.

a libi rosea thing i have found younger researchers of the late 90s internet don't really appreciate is the number of ephemeral websites made by literal children. i was 12/13/14 making websites on freehosts for fun and i knew easily a dozen other people my age doing the same. the person who hosted the forum i was part of in high school started it at 15 on a server under his bed. there was no concept of age verification. if you had an internet connection and lax parental supervision you were good to go.
(this post is not about the utterly inane age verification laws nor is it about porn. it is about the very often ignored contributions of young people to culture.)
