Zero advertising or marketing so far but @MonadicDNA
has been getting its first paid customers.

Slow and steady..

Screenshot showing four categories I added to Kagi News, NYC, US Soccer, Pro Wrestling and Cycling.

Nothing more satisfying than browsing all the categories I was able to add to @kagi.com News! 😎

Additional sports categories: Cycling, Professional Wrestling & U.S. Soccer by vishakh · Pull Request #353 · kagisearch/kite-public Cycling: Balanced between the sport and the lifestyle Pro Wrestling: Balanced between WWE and AEW without ignoring NJPW, TNA, etc. U.S. Soccer: Adding this as the existing Soccer category totally i...

Good news: My PR for Cycling, U.S. Soccer and Pro Wrestling on @kagi.com News was merged!

Bad news: I became even more mindful of how under threat RSS and the open Web are, even though many news sources use Wordpress.

Enabling RSS on Wordpress would cost so little!

The skill level definitely needs improvement but the fouls are typical of any south american final.

The quality of play or how clipped the game is?

Whoa, the Missed Apex / G Elliot Morris crossover I never even imagined!

There is no reasonable composite key that can be used to pick out a unique record in the @gwascatalog.bsky.social dataset.

How does one reach out?

Noooooooooooo

Enjoying the GPU hum ASMR. 🤤

Irrationally proud my new category made Kagi News!

A preview screenshot of GWASifier, a tool that lets people filter through data from GWAS Catalog and upload their own data DNA for trait exploration.

Coming soon..

Had you read the Philip K Dick book before? I can understand how the movie might have felt really off to book readers. I’m experiencing the same thing with Foundation.

Same, I hated the movie when it came out and now I love it deeply.

Lessons from using FHE to build a Secure Consumer App Fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) is a cryptographic technique which allows computation over encrypted data. This almost magical ability to allow third parties to process information without being…

FHE is a technique which allows computation over encrypted data. For the past year, my colleagues and I have been building @monadicdna.bsky.social. As the app approaches beta, here are the main lessons we have learned about the state of FHE along the way.

Bravo! 👏👏

But seeing Roglic attempt a stage win made me Frohwalt for a bit!

I’m in both and this is a landmark case which will define digital freedom for decades. Note this is a sequel to the original crypto wars from the 90s (as in cryptography) and the victories won by open source were ultimately fretted by everyone.

How do you think it happens? Ben o'Connor style breakaway from the Vuelta? Jumbo and UAE exhausting each other? Ironic DNFs from the GC leaders?

Perfect set up for the tie breaker.

Phew, it’s an injury and nothing immediately life threatening. Still not get, of course. Hope he can recover quickly.

Made it to the HN front page!

Using MPC for Anonymous and Private DNA Analysis

Recapping how @monadicdna.bsky.social used multi-party compute to run a groundbreaking experiment this year where a cohort of thirty pioneers had their DNA collected for fully encrypted storage and analysis.

Went with these garish slides to talk about accelerated FHE genomics with @monadicdna.bsky.social.

The colors are furious but they will wake up the people during this afternoon session!

The FHE Illuminati is starting to assemble at the COED Summit at Stanford.

Can my poor brain handle all this signal? We'll find out!

I'll be speaking at the "FHE Hardware Acceleration Summit" at Stanford this Thursday.

My talk is on "Accelerating Secure Genomics: Tales from the FHE Trenches" 😅

Join me if you are in the Bay Area and want to nerd out!

Posting this waay before the game ended makes you lose credibility. 🤷

Wait, do you not live there anymore?

💔

Can’t take it with you I am in hospice care and reflecting a lot on what a good life is.

Latest post. Don’t know how many I have still in me
