Quantum Physics – things that make you go Hmm.
What happens when matter crosses the event horizon of a black hole? We don’t know is the quick answer.
Theory #1, all matter is compressed into an infinitely dense state at the black hole’s singularity. At that point, the laws of physics as defined by Einstein's general relativity no longer apply.
Theory #2, proposes the existence of opposite objects to black holes known as white holes. These would expel material rather than draw it in. Wormholes between the two could connect different locations in our universe or possibly connect our universe with other parallel universes.
There is no evidence for the existence of white holes, and none have ever been observed. Black holes have been observed through indirect and direct methods.
The question of what happens to matter that falls into a black hole remains unresolved. This problem is known as the black hole information paradox.

Well, it’s good that someone is drawing a line in the Crypto sand.
Google accelerates its readiness timeline to prepare for “Q-day” with post-quantum cryptography (PQC) migration to 2029. Reminder: Q-day = the date when quantum computing becomes operational and is powerful enough to break the digital signatures that secure the Internet, crypto (blockchain + Ethereum), and just about every other Information system in use today.
The Bitcoin crypto network relies on ECDSA elliptic curve signatures. https://techaptitude.substack.com/p/ecdsa-cryptographys-role-in-securing With an exposed crypto signature public key, a quantum computer could derive the private key. And then, the crypto assets would be freely available to a hacker.
Android 17 will integrate ML-DSA, an algorithm standardized by the NIST to secure digital signatures. https://security.googleblog.com/2026/03/post-quantum-cryptography-in-android.html

Kewl app or confusing bag of stuff?
Bluesky announced "Attie" - an AI assistant that enables users to create custom feeds, design custom algorithms, and at some future point vibe-code apps. Currently a private Beta, no indication about monetization yet.
Attie leverages Anthropic’s Claude under the hood to create an agentic social app built on Bluesky’s underlying AT protocol. “It’s a new product — it’s not a part of the Bluesky app,” https://techcrunch.com/2026/03/28/bluesky-leans-into-ai-with-attie-an-app-for-building-custom-feeds/ #BlueSky #Attie #BetaCode #SocialMedia #AI #Claude #Anthropic #ATProtocol #AIAssistant #CustomFeeds #VibeCode

Cyber sleuths uncover nefarious techniques to take malware (dubbed Omnistealer) posted in GitHub and use social engineering techniques to get it embedded into blockchains where the malware may be stored forever and make it difficult to root out as the chains grow.
"Hiding malicious payloads within blockchain has become an emerging obfuscation technique."
Omnistealer is capable of stealing cryptocurrency, passwords and privileged credentials for accessing an organization's information. https://www.pcmag.com/news/malware-is-sleeping-on-the-blockchain-and-its-already-infected-dozens-of #CyberSecurity #Ransom-ISAC #Security #CyberAttack #Malware #BlockChain #GitHub #FakeJobs #FakeRecruiters #JobInterviews #OmniStealer #Cyber #SocialEngineering

Marcus Aurelius Monday! Selected Quotes!
Drum Roll! Here is this week’s quote from Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius – known as the "Philosopher King".
"Kindness is invincible, but only when it's sincere, with no hypocrisy or faking. For what can even the most malicious person do if you keep showing kindness and, if given the chance, you gently point out where they went wrong—right as they are trying to harm you?"

Weekend Reading!
Someone at META FINALLY has seen the light in the VR tunnel and it is a dead train.
Meta recently announced starting on June 15, 2026, it will no longer be possible to build, publish or update VR worlds, and Horizon Worlds will not be accessible with VR headsets - the spaces will continue to be be available via the Horizon mobile app only.
This comes just a few weeks after Meta cut over 1,000 employees from Reality Labs, the unit responsible for the metaverse. https://www.cnbc.com/2026/03/18/meta-horizon-worlds-metaverse-vr.html
In 2018, I first wrote about how dedicated "VR Worlds" would be a #Fail and would be destined to be highly niche products and NOT be the world changing tech as claimed by proponents.

FBI Dir, Patel's personal Gmail account hacked by "Handala" who portray's itself as a group of pro-Palestinian vigilante hackers, and is considered by Western researchers to be one of several personas used by Iranian government cyberintelligence units.

So there are some sane purveyors of justice still out there!
Federal judge has granted Anthropic’s request for a preliminary injunction in its lawsuit against the Trump administration. Anthropic sued the administration to try to reverse the Defense Department’s decision to try to blacklist the company.
The order bars the Trump administration from implementing, applying or enforcing the president’s directive banning federal agencies from using Anthropic's Claude models and temporarily blocks the Pentagon’s efforts to designate Anthropic as a threat to U.S. national security. https://www.cnbc.com/2026/03/26/anthropic-pentagon-dod-claude-court-ruling.html #Anthropic #Lawsuit #DoD #Pentagon #USGov #Claude #TRO #BlackList #NationalSecurity #Justice #AI #ChatBot

Are Crypto "assets" securities or not? SEC cracks the seal on new definitions - sort of.
The SEC has published "interpretive guidance" which is not a formal new rule classifying crypto assets.
The SEC indicates that a digital asset becomes a security when its issuer offers it as an investment in a common enterprise that comes with promises of profits based on the management's efforts.
Such an investment contract ends, though, when "either the issuer has fulfilled its representations or promises or the issuer has failed to satisfy its representations or promises," at which point the investment would not regulated as a security anymore.
The SEC indicates it is not dealing with related stuff like airdrops, protocol staking and protocol mining.
SEC indicates it is planning to launch a formal rule making process "in a week or two". https://www.coindesk.com/policy/2026/03/17/u-s-sec-issues-first-ever-definitions-for-what-crypto-assets-are-securities
