Really not looking forward to the upcoming certificate renewal apocalypse. From 350+ days to now 200 days and soon to be 47 days renewal time for WebPKI TLS certificates.

Google Chrome (And later FireFox) removed support for DANE TLS certificates, but now they are forcing the planet to move to 47 days. So frustrating.

Sure, requesting certs are pretty easy, but the tooling to install and test requires previously isolated systems need to be able to talk out.

The LD50 on 47 days is about 23.5 days, and like with the very recent situation where LetsEncrypt stopped issuing certs while they did some debug work, you need to factor in some safety margin.. so maybe every 40 days you renew? LD20?

Sure Google and Amazon issue their own certs, doesn’t bother them. But all the SMB who self hols will be pushed to more central services as the difficulty to host continues to increase.

don't assume incompetence until you've ruled out malice
At the Bene Gesserit Pain Box Factory we’re partnering with Anthropic to provide revolutionary AI-powered nerve stimulation. As the leaders in tech that makes people want to cut their limbs off rather than continue, it was a perfect synergy
If an LLM is used for military purposes, then the datacenters hosting the LLM become legitimate military targets.
Inside me are two wolves: Noel Fielding and Richard Ayoade. They don't know why they are there.

Anthropic is different because they're committed to safety.

...I'm being told they are no longer committed to safety.

"texting a message used to take a time approximately proportional to the sum of the alphabetical indices of the message's characters modulo 3" is one of those things that is absolutely true but also 100% sounds like a shitpost if you weren't around for that era.
