There is a highly relevant follow-up post by the author here, too: https://byroot.github.io/ruby/performance/2025/01/23/io-inst...

It's really just focused on a keto diet, but using the app at https://www.carbmanager.com you can look up low-carb foods really well and enter units in all kinds of ways. I know someone who successfully used it for about 2 months a while ago, but then they went off keto and the app DB didn't have many non-carb heavy foods.

Maybe it's marketing, but there seem to be some advances [1]

Are you indicating that Cloudflare's implementation isn't truly fully post quantum secure because of lagging certificate standards/technology?

Wanted to provide the source for your posting about 33% of Cloudflare TLS traffic having Post-Quantum Encryption as of Jan 2025 [1]

Hmmm. This solution still leaves quite a few days a compromised certificate can be used(!).. that's significant.. but I guess it's better than nothing?

A tour de force!!

I thought you were joking and I laughed, but then I read the article and it says "It also holds more than half the volume of Lake Tahoe".. hmmm..

I posted it above, but unfortunately synchthing for Android is at end of life https://forum.syncthing.net/t/discontinuing-syncthing-androi...

Synchthing on Android is End of life, alas https://forum.syncthing.net/t/discontinuing-syncthing-androi...

What is addressed recently by NIST, Cloudflare, Google, Apple, and others primarily involves potential(?) weaknesses in TLS key exchange & asymmetric cryptography. Let's Encrypt is more about certificates, I think, no?

During a Google podcast below[1] a host (reportedly with a PhD in Quantum Mechanics) expressed a similar opinion as you at first, then started to take the threat more seriously as he heard from an experienced Google colleague.. This was in 2024 before the Google Willow announcement[2]. Thank you for your thoughtful response!

I just asked the question because I wonder if getting more responsive/agile to security protocol updates should become more of a norm. Why not start as an example of that here if it doesn't take much cost/time/effort? For whatever reason it doesn't seem like just security theater. NIST, Google, Apple, and others seem to be taking this admittedly unknown threat seriously. It's good to balance skepticism with curiosity here I think (the podcast episode below agrees). The certainty of this happening anytime soon is publicly unknown of course, but if in the rare chance it happens, even within a decade or two, the consequences could be serious. Apparently it was Richard Feynman, perhaps amongst others who raised the question regarding quantum computers according to this interesting Google podcast. During the podcast a host reportedly with an apparent PhD in Quantum Mechanics started to take it more seriously.. Thank you for your thoughtful response! https://cloud.withgoogle.com/cloudsecurity/podcast/ep164-qua...

lol. Maybe so! :).. but is NIST? Is Cloudflare? Is Google/Apple?

LLMs hallucinate/confabulate. I use Wikipedia to check source info and to find additional information. Of course there are more reliable sources than Wikipedia, but it's useful, still.

There are good/safe/powerful medicines that can cure most psychotic episodes. Best Wishes to you both.

As an additional resource, there are free non-12-step/non-religious meetings at https://smartrecovery.org. This group has helped someone close to me.

The article doesn't say what the jokes were!

Nice to see that this community helped push Microsoft to do the right thing in this case and make a change.

>The system uses cameras, sensors, and software tools to determine, for example, “how much a participant contributes to a meeting vs performing other tasks (e.g., texting, checking email, browsing the Internet).”

It implies your company is recording what's going on your computer and on your phone, too, not just from body language and facial expressions!

So toxic/dystopian.

For those interested in more background on NOAA and making money from it, I highly recommend reading The Fifth Risk[0] by Moneyball author, Michael Lewis[1]. It details how a couple private companies make a lot of money using NOAA data in interesting ways (e.g.: crop insurance (now acquired by Monsanto)). Another of those companies is AccuWeather whose CEO was appointed to head NOAA by Trump[2].

P.S.: Anyone notice that monitoring "Climate" was absent in the government announcement?

FTA: >"In addition to giving Russia free rein to build and deploy an unlimited number of intermediate-range missiles that could potentially be fitted with nuclear weapons,

withdrawing from the treaty would allow Putin to deflect responsibility and blame the US for both the treaty's collapse and any ensuing arms race."
