BGP attacks have nothing to do with spoofed peers. They have to do with accepted peers behaving maliciously in terms of the AS Paths they advertise. Once you control BGP you control any IP and can subvert certificate issuance that effective

You may not recall the crazy era of OOP where people would go bonkers with massive object trees trying to objectify everything and using operator overloading to do (dumb) things like adding a control to a window with +=.

More AI bullshit and hype is good for Nvidia. Until it isn't. I no longer believe this is like the dotcom. Now it feels like the 1983 video game crash.

I have been checking organic and inorganic chemistry skills in ChatGPT pro and it is absolutely, laughably bad. But it sounds good , plausible but it comically wrong in so many ways. Maybe you should think twice about whether the health is

It doesn't help that almost all of the big tech companies talking about 5 9s are lying about it; "Does it respond to the API at all, even with errors? It's up!" and so on. If you spend a lot of time analyzing browser tra

A lot of the AI companies visibly suffer from the engineer's disease. It's kind of interesting to look at them through that lens, and of course, the claims they make about the future.

Fantasy buildouts of hundreds of billions of dollars for gear that has a 3 year lifetime may be premature. Put another way, there is no demonstrated first mover advantage in LLM-based AI so far and all of the companies involved are money fu

Windows on a 80486 vs. those boxes felt very much like if you were to compare the latest M5 Macs to, say, a ppc 604 Mac. No comparison at all. Just every single interactive aspect of them was worse in every possible way and that includes I&

Some of the problem in California is that the population of want-to-buyers is all focused on a small number of extremely geographically constrained areas. Their answer is always "more density" but more density isn't going to

Why would you build more cars as prices fall? What do you think homebuilders do? Just close up shop when the market dips? The answer is there are companies in the business of building homes. If there is profit to be made, they will keep bui

The type of person who funders fall for is a personality type. That they have failed in the past doesn't matter, they fall in love anyway. This time is different. Venture guys aren't as smart or analytical as their propaganda woul

I managed a lab of them. I _hated them_. They were unreliable, slow, and just absolutely miserable because they created endless complaints. We were rolling out labs of Windows machines. Except for the lack of terminal, they were better on

It's really probably more about wafer and chip allocation.

In 2000 I worked for a company that was building a mobile telephony and data product. The partner company asked us to help them implement the lawful intercept function, as is required by law, which we did, however they were asking for 5+% L

this principle applies to a lot of things. signaling for example. optical links. oldschool optical links (OC48 timeframe) did not feature scramblers and so a malicious packet could on occasion cause them to de-train and go out of sync since

There is always a risk of things like this. For example, to make my winecap bed, I had to get a bunch of woodchips. There is no way woodchips that one will buy in bulk are not contaminated with the spores of other wood-eating fungus. What y

Mushrooms are everywhere. There used to be a subreddit of "weird mushrooms" like growing out of people's couches or in the bathroom, etc. In all cases, this is a sign of rot due to water intrusion. You can grow mushrooms at h
