My incredible wife surprised me with a trip to Cannon Beach for my birthday weekend. It was great. Epic family times ensued. Bitcoin pumping to $120k also made for a good birthday 😆 #dadstr #family

I can’t imagine going to a church where the pastor feels the need to get into very specific politics, regardless of their opinion. I’m not interested in that from my church. I want them to teach biblical principles and then let me apply them to the world, my life, and my family.

I think the concern about “AI alignment” is kind of ridiculous. We don’t even have “dumb” tech that is aligned to human flourishing (ie algo social media).

AI security is such a joke. We have people thinking the way to solve prompt injection is by begging the LLM to not do $badThing. Here’s a hacker news thread that shows the Supabase MCP server is vulnerable to essentially SQL injection, and the top comment is someone from Supabase. One of their top mitigations is “pretty please LLM, don’t leak data” 🤣 They are trying other things as well, but this is what I’ve seen from other projects too. We’ve gone from “make controls that prevent $badThing all together” to “pretty please do the right thing” 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

Played on a slip and slide for hours yesterday with my son. It was awesome. But I’m so sore today 😅

Overly optimized algorithms have completely ruined music discoverability

A technology or protocol being old doesn’t inherently mean it’s bad or insecure. This is a mistake I see people working in cybersecurity make all the time. Sometimes, the limitations of an older protocol can actually be an advantage because it significantly reduces attack surface and unknowns. Decades of security research on a protocol have a sort of Lindy effect.
