  1. PSA: Cliff Stoll is not dead. AI hallucinations can say whatever they want, but the Kingpin of Klein Bottles and Captain of Cuckoo's Eggs is still alive and kicking.

    I still like emoticons ;)

    I have Clifford Stoll to thank for introducing me to them via his book, "The Cuckoo's Egg" circa 1990.

    I first got exposed to emoticons in the early 90s reading Cliff Stoll's book "The Cuckoo's Egg." He refers to :-), and I was like, "WHOA, that's cool!" ;)

    P.S., the Cuckoo's Egg was his term (actually his then-girlfriend's term) for what we now call a honeypot.

  7. The #xz news broke while I was at con and almost entirely offline, and what posts I’ve seen are technical enough that I haven’t _entirely_ understood it (I’m a fairly knowledgeable generalist geek, but no programmer), but I’m starting to get the impression that this is something along the lines of a modern version of #CliffStoll’s #CuckoosEgg? One person finds a tiny flaw that, once dug into, becomes a big “holy shit this is bad” realization?
