Facebook’s AI failure wiped out Kansas Reflector links. Even Facebook may not know what went wrong.

"Daniel Kahn Gillmor, a senior staff technologist at the American Civil Liberties Union, said Facebook’s actions demonstrate the danger for society of depending heavily on a single communications platform to determine what is worthy of discussion."

Why exactly are you using and promoting Figma when @penpot exists?

I really like @tinylytics as an alternative to Google Analytics. I especially love the Kudos feature.

It was important to me that my site had as little tracking as possible, and Tinylytics helps to achieve this goal. So I just wanted to shout them out.

"Section 702 is set to expire on April 19. But the program can continue operating until April 2025 because the FISA court last week granted a government request authorizing it for another year. Under the law, the surveillance activity can continue so long as there are active court orders allowing it, even if the underlying statute expires."

Man, honestly I really hope quantum kills everything we know today about key exchange. Imagine the level of necessary research this would spawn. No more bullshit, just focusing on saving humanity as we know it. Stuff that matters. Like back before when we had secure messaging.

If it really is true that quantum algorithms exist for any hard problems, this would be really cool in the sense that we’d have to go through our own Butlerian Jihad. We’d still have hashing, encryption and signatures which is nice, but I wonder how we’d make do without key exchange, the same way they had to make do with mentats.
