Honest question, what do you use to manage your containers that you durably trust to stay online?

They're actively firefighting an incident, and are likely going to make some mistakes along the way. In this case, they've erred on the side of security over availability, which in some cases is the better outcome. I know not in all, but some.

Woops, missed that!

Pun intended?

Laws will seldom work 100% of the time, but I profoundly disagree with your implied attitude. "They don't cover this future case, so we shouldn't do anything now".

It's 2026. Use TLS everywhere.

You don't understand. They were only able to feed in information that they obtained with their human medical team. So the AI was heavily constrained in what it knew.

> AI can create some efficiencies, but it almost certainly solves fewer healthcare or education problems than most AI maximalists believe.

Do you have any information to back this claim up?

Human judgement is a thing.

Money influencing politics again exposes flaws in our democracies. Shocking.

I haven't articulated my thoughts about passkeys nearly as eloquently, but you did an amazing job here. This really sums up a latent problem I've had with passkeys.

Do you have a blog?

Yeah, I mean, I understand the words you wrote. I don't think it's a good analogy.

It is entirely feasible that the same amount of potential energy, delivered either in small, successive amounts, but spaced out, proves to be tolerable, while a single large amount would be fatal.

I don’t think this is a good analogy.

> “Given that the human face recognition performed by the check-in agents did not keep the hijackers out, there is no reason to think that computer face recognition would help.”

Even though I agree with the premise of the essay, this is absurdly false today. Computers are really good at this type of thing now, scarily so.

This is far outside of my wheelhouse, but I have some serious questions about the methodology here.

I dug into what they call a "resiliency checklist", which is what looks to be a set of questions that have qualitative answers which are subjective at best. This information looks like it is fed into the CRRI, the data set that substantiates the city-wide scores used to power this report.

I am very skeptical that these 2 things happened:

  - They captured a representative set of key assets that go into making a "city"
  - The answers they received are calibrated or are meaningful enough to make these large conclusions
