that one I found especially striking because dems are barely acknowledging that issue, and even on bluesky, the supposed deranged leftwing bubble, it is maybe a b-tier issue for people to post about, very much eclipsed by ice raids

Same here, that is a really good hook. So clicked "buy"

Feels like CS programs become coder pipelines, and lost their (much more useful and important) foci on systems thinking and design/UX, which was a bad development in retrospect

Not necessarily, because enrollments were so huge. The last full year I taught at Berkeley I taught 2 classes a semester and 1% of ALL student credit-hours on campus.

But it is going to mean very little faculty hiring for the next few years, we've seen this play in 2003

Frankly speaking, I'd start with a row of graves, ALL stating the name "James Bond" with each death about 10-15 years apart (corresponding to each actor shift in the series)

Especially since the Craig bond started OUT with him with his first 2 kills to get 00 status...

There is a reason why if a normal person did that they would be arrested and prosecuted for assault-by-pointing.

We've had 3 decades of folks trying to come up with useful algorithms on "assume a quantum computer exists" and with the exception of the order of a group & discrete log problems (which break conventional public key) they've basically come up blank.

EG, quantum key exchange is bullshit, it would be better to go back to Kerberos if that was our world.

And quantum computing is close enough to useless except for a couple of group theory problems and modeling the physics of quantum systems like quantum computers.

Basically there are two almost disjoint threads. There is the real work on post quantum key exchanges (the NSA's view is particularly interesting that they aren't going for hybrid conventional/PC combinations). And then there is all the hype and bullshit.

Anyone who proposes using an "agent" where "receives untrusted input" and "can do a bad thing" is, at best, ignorant and most likely a grifter.

Prompt injection is unfixable as LLMs have no notion of separate "code" and "data".
