life update I build world models now! I wrote about minting breakthroughs on a real research model, and what it did to DeepEarth's benchmarks for a 25x improvement.

The context: why am I spending so much time writing about _one_ study (rayb.info/uploads/fse2014-la…) on programming languages? My first thoughts took a day to write (buttondown.email/hillelwayne…) and my second draft is over 4,000 words long. Why do I care when the answer is so obvious?

Why would anyone be upset about a study that shows strong+static typed, functional, managed languages tend to have less bugs — isn’t that obvious? All that stuff tends toward safety. Other languages may optimize for something else like performance, flexibility, ease of coding.

Activists often wonder why the public hasn't reacted more strongly to the issue. Favored targets of blame include tribal loyalties, corporate greed, conservative pols’ mendacity, Fox. All play a role, but I think underneath is what I think of as the Obama House Syndrome. 1/11

Wew okay, so there's some REALLY bizarre internet-wide scan traffic happening right now in @GreyNoiseIO . it started two/three hours ago, quieted down for a few minutes, then just started up again. I'm going to do my best to stream of conscious what's going on while we dig in:

Well, GreyNoise just broke one million IPs blasting the Internet with this traffic in one day. That's like..... 300% higher than our previous record of total IPs in a 24 hour period. viz.greynoise.io/trends

Here's a pair of annoying histograms. It's the delay in delivering VPC flow logs to an S3 bucket as measured by (S3 timestamp) - (timestamp in key). The x axis is seconds delay, y axis is number of objects in that bucket. First diagram is everything, second is zoomed in.

For months now, letters having been popping up on my walk. I’ve been making this walk for two+ years and I swear that I had never noticed these letters. But every time I opened my eyes and looked down some unexpected alley there was another one. Cue serious Beautiful Mind vibes.

I think we should be open to presidental candidates who come from smaller, local hacking collectives and not just the top elite groups like cDc.
