Watching the livestream of the Artemis II launch, I just witnessed one of the astronauts type in the password on their tablet while sitting in the capsule on camera.

ML-DSA standard contains the word "bit" 256 times. Coincidence? I think not!

Interesting to see Copilot injecting ads into PR descriptions. Although there are a handful of older instances of this, if GitHub search is working properly, it looks like this started happening at scale around 10 days ago with more than 1k injections of this particular ad per day since then (if you search for other ad strings, you can find the rate of other ads)

What will they think of next?

Math lesson for the day: Applying the Birthday Paradox bounds to United States involvement in regime change in Latin America.

With at least 42 interventions over the years, there was a ~91% chance that some of these interventions would share a date!

This perspective on human performance is super interesting!

Many of our stories about "genius," "superstars," and high performers are grounded in assuming that the patterns of early learning will extrapolate to the rest of life - e.g., child prodigies, gifted students, and those with early steep curves on the achievement trajectory. But what happens when you expand the window of observation?

Are we bragging or complaining? (...that amazon monitors the timing of employee key strokes.)
