"Be we readers or writers, there are humans on the other end of our language use."

It's not only a bit flowery, it seems out of place. I might use natural language to communicate with a decidedly non-human LLM. Treating robots as slaves to abuse, bad idea. But to me they are not yet human.

If you're paying for Kubernetes and your provider picked this ingress controller, they didn't make a super secure choice.

If folks downloaded it for free, full refunds are available.

The kind of thing that will outperform it at performance per dollar, I reckon, is either a future Raspberry Pi computer or a Chromebook.

I'm not convinced that every human artist would produce a 100% plausible Go board, but it should at least need a good understanding of Go to spot the problem.

I keep hoping that someone will do ATproto micropayments and that might just be the perfect use case for it.

The Soviet Union had very elaborate locks that they could add to a relatively plain safe. The idea wasn't that the locks were unpickable; people could bypass them.

What mattered was being sure whether tampering had happened. SGX and friends are partly about that, I think. Tamper sensors help here.

Things that depend on the UN quietly doing work, #42:
The internet

From undersea cables to satellite radio links to the entire ITU (including the X.509 standard that's part of security for most popular websites), the UN has put in place pieces we would struggle to manage without. Really struggle.

Would be nice to have atomicity or something like a transaction here, wouldn't it?

There are tricks you can use to force a read. The default has definitely caught me out though.

As the cartoon I'm thinking of says in the caption: London property is theft.
