“On average, around 15 million TLS connections are established with Cloudflare per second. Upgrading each to ML-DSA, would take 1.8Tbps, which is 0.6% of our current total network capacity. No problem so far.”

Bookmarking for future re-reading as this will take a few turns to internalize.

"Future language design should rethink concurrency once more: Instead of adopting async/await, new languages should model themselves more like Java's Project Loom but with more user friendly primitives. But like Scratch, it should give programmers really good APIs that make concurrency natural. I don't think actor frameworks are the right fit, but a combination of structured concurrency, channels, syntax support for spawning/joining/selecting will go a long way. Watch this space for a future blog post about some things I found to work better than others."

“May” doing some heavy lifting here because what. This is a clear violation no?

“Turkish air strikes in drought-struck north-east Syria have cut off access to electricity and water for more than a million people, in what experts say may be a violation of international law.

Turkey carried out more than 100 attacks between October 2019 and January 2024 on oil fields, gas facilities and power stations in the Kurdish-held Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (AANES), according to data collated by the BBC World Service”

Powerful words.

“This is us. This is mainstream, ruling class Australia.
This has also been the bleakest 13 month period for humanity in my living memory. We have all seen so many things we cannot unsee. Any illusions of Western morality, or even the benevolence and effectiveness of our political systems, should be well and truly out the fucking window by now. Hold it all in contempt, you do not need to cheer for any of these people. Personally, I don’t think any of this deserves your “social cohesion”.
No matter how small it may prove to be in the end, these warrants are a win for justice and humanity. May they make it as awkward as possible for genocide deniers to carry out their horrendous work.”

“Accidentally”

I would honestly love to see the engineering post mortem here or given the stakes I am unfortunately biased towards assuming bad faith unless proven otherwise (sorry to my friends that work there)

“The plaintiffs’ counsel makes clear that they have no reason to believe the deletion was intentional. But they do say the incident underscores that OpenAI “is in the best position to search its own datasets” for potentially infringing content using its own tools.”

The reactions are all over the place:

"The EU's foreign policy chief, Josep Borrell, said the decision was not political but made by a court and thus should be respected and implemented.
"The tragedy in Gaza has to stop," he said.

Jordan's foreign minister Ayman Safadi also said the ICC's decision must be implemented, adding that Palestinians deserved justice after what he termed Israel's "war crimes" in Gaza.

The Netherlands' foreign minister Caspar Veldkamp said his country acts on arrest warrants for people on its territory and will not engage in "non-essential" contacts.

Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, a close ally of President-elect Donald Trump, said: "The court is a dangerous joke. It is now time for the U.S. Senate to act and sanction this irresponsible body."

The ICC has "lost all legitimacy" after issuing the arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant, Israel's Foreign Minister Gideon Saar said."

Now I want khowsey again. Hopefully the event tomorrow at Zareens is still on.

“The enmeshed histories of Pakistan and China – with overlapping mountain ranges and confluence of rivers – gives credence to the interwoven narrative of the dish. In Myanmar, Ohn no Khauk Swe (coconut milk noodles) are iconic. Cookbook authors Amy and Emily Chung, aka the Rangoon Sisters, associate it with their Chinese-inspired Burmese tradition of having noodles on one's birthday for good luck. In Northern Thailand, khao soi is synonymous with soulful Chiang Mai train station food today.

One thing is for certain: when it comes to khowsey, there are as many variations as there are taste preferences. As such, serving guests individually is key, Fayyaz explained, and khowsey is not meant to be pre-assembled by the host.

"It's exciting," explained Shaikh, "The overall experience [of assembling it] is like a desi [characteristic of the subcontinent] version of [Chinese] hotpot".”

Yikes

“In northern California, flood and high wind watches were in effect, with up to 8 inches (20 centimeters) of rain predicted for parts of the San Francisco Bay Area, North Coast and Sacramento Valley.”

Where have I heard this phrasing before

“Google’s regulatory affairs VP, Lee-Anne Mulholland, said that the DOJ “continues to push a radical agenda that goes far beyond the legal issues in this case,” Bloomberg writes.”

Hasnain says:

This is just going to be “[insert terms here that would get me banned ]”

“The big picture: There are an estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants living in the U.S. Trump's mass deportations are expected to impact roughly 20 million families across the country.

Immigration advocates and lawyers are preparing to counter the plan in court.
The president-elect's team is aiming to craft executive orders that can withstand legal challenges to avoid a similar defeat that befell Trump's Muslim ban in his first term, Politico reported.
Their plans also include ending the parole program for undocumented immigrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela, per Politico.”
