Claude being snarky

The new US cyber security strategy just dropped. I'm a Claude user, and I suspiciously inquired of Claude as to the # of em-dashes in this 4 pg doc. Then I asked Claude to analyze the probability of this being LLM-written.

Joe Menn is one of the longest serving and most trusted cybersecurity reporters, and his body of recent work speaks for itself.

If I haven’t said this a few times: @zackwhittaker.com is a truly brilliant reporter and mind in cybersecurity and this newsletter is the only thing I read to fully catch up on what I needed to know in the field if I was out on vacation for a week. You should be doing the Patreon thing here.

Or even James SA Corey for a team of brilliant writers who manage to encapsulate and expand what used to be called “hard” sci-fi while creating totally fucking iconic characters like Avasarala and Amos.

I am thrilled to be a member of the new cohort of CDT Non-Resident Fellows, together with my HAI colleague Jen King. I was a CDT intern way back in 2007, and 20 years later, my career has brought me full circle.

This is relevant to my interests.

Thanks, Stepto.

I don't feel like spending time writing a 300 character explanation of why you should read this blog post. Just go do it.

Had any young [male] beginner, about to go to Cambridge, shewn the same power[s], I should have prophesied ... that they would have certainly made him an original mathematical investigator, perhaps of first rate eminence (LB 339, ADM to Lady Byron, 21 Jan. 1844, f. 2).

It's always lovely to have the doubters get their asses academically kicked when it comes to Ada Lovelace's mathematical capabilities, but I am so very tired of reading the "if she'd only been born a man" story. From an open 2017 Historia Mathematica article.

Federal court records systems are all alike; each state court records system is unhappy in its own way.

The U.K.’s Plan for Electronic Eavesdropping Poses Cybersecurity Risks The U.K. government’s latest attempt to access encrypted cloud backups could allow adversarial actors to gain access to sensitive data.

Susan Landau, @mattblaze.org, and Steven Bellovin unpack the U.K. government's latest attempt to access encrypted cloud backups in Apple products and explain how it could make sensitive data more vulnerable to adversarial actors.

Excellent work.

I also support Aaron’s work and pay for a subscription. It is always worth reading, always informative. Thanks, @atrupar.com for your tirelessness.

At EFF, we were proud to publicly and loudly support the legal profession and, most importantly, continue to do our work challenging the government’s erosion of digital rights—work that became even more critical as many law firms shied away from pro bono work. eff.org/deeplinks/2...

The holidays persist, but so do we.

My college Econ prof studied under Friedman and I mostly survived

Hey, ma, look! I *finally* got into University of Chicago. :D
