So strange that people still insist that LLMs are not a major new technology. OpenAI alone 2X in one year to $10b ARR and that’s without the MS licensing revenue or monetizing most of its 500m MAUs. You may not like them, but it’s obvious many people find enough value in them to use and pay for.

I don't know if there is a more appropriate goodbye to Loretta Swit, than her last scene in MASH in the series finale. Loretta won two Emmy's for her role as Major Houlihan.

For those who don't know this story, which I first shared six years ago today.... This one time I got my days wrong at work and ended up alone in a room with my boss and the President of Ireland while I was on ketamine. 🧵

A fact that barely feels real to even ME is "THE JETSONS" was only on TV originally for 6 months in 1962, a bomb that nobody watched 😳 The reruns became IMMORTAL in kid-cartoon "package deal" syndication with the other Hanna-Barberra titles (it was originally a prime-time show)... 1/2

GitLab beat them by a few days, although that was in their agent rather than some 3P agent built to use their MCP server. See www.legitsecurity.com/blog/remote-... This is a structural issue for any agent consuming or MCP server returning untrusted data.

I have written many healthcare stories, but never before have I written about my own health. I decided to do so after learning one of my drugs costs nearly $1,000 a pill and just 25 cents to make. What I found was an incredible story of discovery and exploitation. www.propublica.org/article/revl...

This is absolutely terrible news. With the shifting regulatory climate (i.e., antivax ratfuckery), Moderna has withdrawn their application for their eagerly anticipated COVID-flu combo vaccine. This vaccine offered better protection than getting each shot separately. h/t @merz.bsky.social

RAW MILK TIME I was surprised to find most of the "raw milk cures ___" talking points from the last 20+ years come from one (1) raw milk dairy farmer in California. Let's get to know him!

Keller is definitely fragile and the food, while well executed, has become staid. But Chung Fegan confirmed Keller suspicions. She said she was not going to write a review, and yet this is a review. It may only mention the food in passing, but explicitly agrees with other reviews. That’s bad faith.

Three Trail of Bits engineers audited core Go cryptography for a month and found only one low-sev security issue... in unsupported Go+BoringCrypto! 🍾 Years of efforts on testing, limiting complexity, safe APIs, and readability have paid off! ✨ Yes I am taking a victory lap. No I am not sorry. 🏆

THIS IS HUGE! TWO Phase I HIV vaccine clinical trials have demonstrated that a stepwise mRNA-based vaccination strategy can SUCCESSFULLY activate AND advance immune responses toward producing broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs), a CRITICAL milestone in HIV prevention.

Excellent NYT graphic. In the space of about 3 months, tariffs on China: -- doubled; -- went up ≈ 2.5X from there; -- roughly doubled again; -- went up ≈ 40% from there; -- and now have dropped ≈ 80% from the peak -- but are still 3X what they were in February. www.nytimes.com/article/trum...

Geomys's job is stepping in to ensure Go is a robust, secure platform to build on. We did it for x/crypto/ssh and bluemonday, now we're doing it for unmaintained and vulnerable CSRF libraries. Retainers enable all this, and provide access to expertise that is hard and expensive to build in house.

We've all been loving the conclave drama, but one of my favourite bits of Catholic Lore is how they ended up locking a load of Cardinals in a room for days until they've picked a Pope. People say it's to prevent external lobbying and to help them hear the holy spirit but that's not the whole story.
