Everyone is dunking on poor Noah Smith for getting lost and frustrated at Heathrow Airport and blaming him, which is victim-blaming and I am quite disappointed in all of you. Put the blame squarely where it belongs: on whoever failed to pin his name and destination to his sweater-vest.

I had a bug in my new ML-DSA implementation that caused Verify to reject all signatures. I gave up after half an hour. On a whim, I threw Claude Code at it. Surprisingly (to me!) it one-shotted it in 5 minutes.

Claude Code Can Debug Low-level Cryptography
Surprisingly (to me) Claude Code debugged my new ML-DSA implementation faster than I would have, finding the non-obvious low-level issue that was making Verify fail.

Just saw the benchmarks of the new open-weight MiniMax-M2 LLM, and the performance is too good to ignore :). So, I just amended my "The Big LLM Architecture Comparison" with entry number 13!

The single most important hotel room feature I would like to see listed but that never is: number and location of power outlets in the room.
Is there a place by the bed to charge my phone? Is there a place by the desk to charge my computer? Or do I need to bring extension cords?

📣THREAD: It’s surprising to me that so many people were surprised to learn that Signal runs partly on AWS (something we can do because we use encryption to make sure no one but you–not AWS, not Signal, not anyone–can access your comms).

PSA: we're aware that Signal is down for some people. This appears to be related to a major AWS outage. Stand by.

There should be a "exit to the commons" where a government buys a popular piece of tech like a database, or something that many want to build on, and fully open source it and fund development for the commons. Then VC-backed tech wouldn't always end badly with bait-and-switches.

Fun legal fact of the day: Florence, OR, where federal agents famously (and illegally) used a thermal imager to detect Danny Kyllo's grow operation in 1992, is the the same oceanfront community that, in 1970, famously (and disastrously) tried to dispose of a beached whale carcass using dynamite.
