Setting up SAML between an app and an identity provider should be two clicks.
Instead, it's 20 manual steps of copying and pasting and clicking, as explained in a bespoke PDF for each app. With multiple failure modes that will lock you out.
Huge failure of protocol design.
Who do I know at @anthropic.com who wants to let us @voting.works try their new AI model for security testing our voting system? We're doing a lot of security testing already, but more is always better.
why not Kalshi? (/me ducks)
even your bets are in LaTeX? Amazing.
Oh my. We forget sometimes that these hero explorers are humans with families and everyday tragedies. This is really touching.
😭
Well this is a fun thread :)
Two papers came out last week that suggest classical asymmetric cryptography might indeed be broken by quantum computers in just a few years.
That means we need to ship post-quantum crypto now, with the tools we have: ML-KEM and ML-DSA. I didn't think PQ auth was so urgent until recently.
If you watch this and you don't smile, your GenX card will be revoked.
Thanks for saying this publicly. So important for folks to realize this could happen to them and might be happening to their friends, and they're not alone.
You're so close. Studying... what?
I wonder how you think expertise is gained. In any case, enjoy that point of view!
Again, we're talking about *reading* papers right? Yes, precocious high school students can learn a ton from reading scientific papers. That's how many scientists started. Even if they don't understand everything.
So undergrads don't get to read the papers? Precocious high school students?
The title of the article and the whole first half are about "open access publishing". If the intent is to criticize only some approaches, it could have been phrased much better.
Wow, that's a bad take. Who gets to decide who's equipped?
This seems more like a criticism of current open access publishers than of the concept of open access publishing itself. Unfortunate to confuse the two.
so, FYI, if you send a resume my way, I suggest clean, brief, few buzzwords, straight to the point of your real experiences and skills.
I'm optimistic about a number of uses of AI.
But when it comes to screening resumes for leadership roles at @voting.works, I'm doing that myself by hand. I see many resumes packed with buzzwords. I imagine this is optimized for AI. I understand, but I wish the incentives were different.
Dude with Waffle House Teleportation PhD: my time has finally come.
A full disc image of Earth, as seen from the Orion Crew Module. The planet is a pale blue, swirling with white clouds and glowing slightly lighter blue in place from reflected light. At lower left, a large brown landmass is Africa, with Spain and Portugal with twinkling lights where the planet curves. At top right, auroras glow in a thin green glow, just barely separated from the planet's surface. Earth is set against the black of space (pic: NASA/R.Wiseman)
More context on this #Artemis II image:
* This is the night side, lit by moonlight. You can see city lights in Spain & Portugal, & a sliver of day at lower right
* The Sun is entirely behind Earth, which makes it a kind of solar eclipse, but w/ Earth doing the eclipsing instead of the Moon:

Yeah this is amazing.
This Google quantum computing news is making me dizzy.
Cindy Cohn is awesome. Here she is on the Daily Show talking about @eff.org and her latest book.

??? how?
I have a feeling you have a great collection of you + famous people photos....
This is the best.
Floating point arithmetic. The best.
This is awesome and impressive. But also impressive in a very specific way: being a world leader in an academic field doesn't always translate to knowing how to achieve a very practical immediate goal. To do both so well, holy cow.
