I think you’re talking about Brian Krebs while the person you’re replying to is talking about Chris Krebs.

Both of them are well known in cybersecurity but are very different people with very different reputations.

Recently I’ve often wondered if LLM productivity gains (for coding) could end up mirroring the productivity gains of a good monitor setup.

That is, table stake on the one hand (nobody likes to work for a company stingy enough to refuse to buy one or two more screens per worker), but also not obviously more productive either (it is not easy to measure the productivity gain of a monitor setup and most developers who are productive with it will also be productive without).

If LLMs do not bring a lot more value to the company than providing a good monitor setup to every tech employee, this is a clue that once the bubble pops AI expenses should not be priced very differently than a bunch of screens (~700$ per worker per three years?)

I’m posting this comment 8 hours after the post so I can be in the better half of the distribution.

Damn. I never knew that way to search things. I used to do « Share / Search on this page » which was already obnoxious, which has now become « … » / « Share » / « Search on this page ».

Either I’m dumb or there is a discoverability problem with all these features. Probably a bit of both.

As a daily Safari on iOS user, I don’t care about any of this, but since iOS 26 basic Safari features such as bookmarks and text search have become so buried deep underneath, they are basically unusable at this point.

It infuriates me a lot more than all the liquid glass stuff (on which I’m neutral overall).

As a father of an 8 years old, this is very moving.

While Terence is -without a doubt- born with prodigious abilities, I think credit should also be given to his parents Billy and Grace who seem to have managed to simultaneously nurture these special abilities while still letting Terence have a happy (?) childhood. This is not easy to do.

A dream of mine was that in order to get a PhD, you would not have to publish original research, but instead you would have to _reproduce existing research_. This would bring the PhD student to the state of the art in a different way, and it would create a natural replication process for current research. Your thesis would be about your replication efforts, what was reproducible and what was not, etc.

And then, once you got your PhD, only then you would be expected to publish new, original research.

I am not very familiar with Triplebyte but I really appreciated this (seemingly) candid yet lucid writeup about how it was all went down from the inside.

These kind of insider perspectives, even if they come with their own biases, are very interesting nevertheless.

I wish I would see these types of articles more often.
