More NIMBYism by people who have no concept of water usage this is only ~30k homes worth of water. The whole data center is bad because of its water usage is bordering propaganda and misinformation at this point.
Indianapolis residents have shut down a proposed Google data center.
The tech giant wanted to build a massive 500 acre facility, but people got organized and stopped them.
The $1 billion data center would've used one million gallons of water a day.

I was nominated for a SANS DMA - ICS/OT Practitioner of the Year, along with some impressive folks. Reverse engineering ICS malware is hard, but communicating the results is harder. Grateful to SANS for recognizing my work in this area.

Ironic: Gartner had my post ridiculing Gartner removed. The one that shared Gartner's Magic Quadrant about AI Code Assistants, which does not include Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, and ranks Amazon above Cursor.

Are they embarrassed to share their Magic Quadrant?

These numbers are surprisingly low, I figured you’d need to have a lot more followers to be in the 99.9th percentile
If you have two followers, you are ahead of half of all Bluesky accounts.
If you have 400 followers, you are in the top 1%.

They should do an accept without presentation especially since getting a paper into these conferences is becoming more and more important to both researchers and businesses
Rumors going around are that NeurIPS PCs had to reject ~400 papers because of venue constraints that were in the accept pile.
Hard things like this happen but the PCs and conference should explicitly tell all the authors who had this happen to them. Or create something like accept w/o presentation.

Animal cloning is one of the most confusingly-hyped "moral questions" of my youth. You haven't even thought about this in 20 years.
