If you ever want to be sad, read the foreword to SIKE (sike.org/files/SIDH-s...), a now-broken post-quantum key-exchange protocol that made it all the way to the 4th and final round of NIST's competition. Tough read. I rediscover it every once in a while.

Any cool tech I missed out on?

Cool to see @diabrowser.com on bluesky.

Anthropic is cooking with Compass, Sourdough, and Foccacia. Excited to see them hit prod.

I love how Claude's tiers internally are "free", "pro", and then "raven". I assume raven is the enterprise plan but I like the idea that they have a special tier for birds.

Received my Core ONE today. Printed Benchy and was very impressed. Good job @prusa3d.com. Very happy with the printer.

#FreeJavaScript update - we'll be posting this to TTAB tomorrow Roughly translated: Just because you submitted two pieces of evidence and one of them was not fraudulent, does not mean you did not commit fraud.

@wukko.me what’s your secret on getting @advaith.bsky.social to response to your tweets. He always ignores mine…

I'm skeptical about this standalone framework desktop. Maybe it will make upgradability easier for non-techies? Maybe it'll improve power efficiency since it seems to be borrowing from their laptop tech? Hard to say.

Was reading a paper today (www.alphaxiv.org/abs/2502.12115) and was yet again reminded how absurd Claude is.
