“I ain't the world's best writer nor the world's best speller
But when I believe in something I'm the loudest yeller”

The hands flex the cards dramatically, preparing to release them. On the visible face of one half of the deck is a three of clubs.

"We could do "AI cancer research" by producing tools that automate gnarly multivariant analysis problems for cancer researchers. But what we're actually doing is defunding cancer research (especially any research into "systemic" cancer because studying systemic things is "woke") to free up fiscal space so we can build data-centers and make Musk into a trillionaire.

That's not just a dead economy – it's one that'll kill everyone you love and everything that matters." - @pluralistic

Oh, no, not Joseph Gordon-Levitt!

One more time for the people in the back:

I will always hate your real names proposal.
I will always hate your backdooring crypto proposal.
I will always hate your hack back proposal.

These ideas are bad and you cannot dress them up in any way that will change that.

✈️ New Blog Post: Your Boarding Pass Is a Skeleton Key. Frontier Airlines Doesn't Care.

Frontier's mobile API returns full passport numbers, home addresses, children's DOB, credit card details, and KTNs for any booking. The only auth? A PNR and last name. Printed on every boarding pass.

Reported March 3rd. 105 days later, still live. They fixed the least important vuln and ghosted me on the rest. They also updated the website code and somehow made the leaks worse.

Your Boarding Pass Is a Skeleton Key. Frontier Airlines Doesn't Care.

How I found that anyone with a boarding pass photo can pull full passport numbers, home addresses, children's dates of birth, credit card details, and Known Traveler Numbers for every passenger on a Frontier Airlines booking. Reported March 3rd. Still live 105 days later.

It's my 40th birthday! I demand the traditional birthday boost!

If you want to hire someone with a guarantee that they will not be using any AI in their work, let me know, I'm still available (and semi-looking).

More information on the types of work I'm looking for on my profile page pinned post

Might as well ask, because I'm at a pretty deep loss of what to do and in a real financial hole.

Anyone know of a flexible, chill, super part time gig that pays well, even for minimal hours? I am not looking for more then 10-15 hours right now. I'm set up as a contractor, and my skills list is pretty outrageous. I'll hear anything out, but I don't appreciate being stuck with shit grind work, and especially dislike anything "social media".

Typesetting the Cosmos: Bringing Beautiful Math to the Blog

After wrestling with Node.js memory limits and aggressive CSS resets, this site now natively supports lightning-fast, zero-client-JS mathematical typesetting. Here is how I did it, and why beautiful equations matter.
