Before I hand this over, I want to tell you where I'm actually standing right now. I'm looking at the biggest mountain yet: building our hospital's own ERP and EMR — the systems that run the business side and the medical records side of the whole place. That's usually the job of specialized companies, and it's tangled up with outside regulators too. Nobody knows how long it'll take. I'm assuming at least three years. Honestly, it feels overwhelming. The size of the fear hasn't changed. My grip on it has. Here's the strange part. That overwhelmed feeling isn't unfamiliar at all. A year ago, staring at a blank screen and not knowing what code even was, I felt exactly this lost. What's different isn't the size of the fear. It's that I now know what to do with it. Get curious, look it up. Look it up, a direction shows up. See a direction, find a method, and just start. Fail, and you've learned something. Succeed, and you move to the next thing. That loop is the only thing that ever carried me anywhere , and it's the same loop I'm running at the foot of this much bigger mountain. Right now the wall isn't technical The thing I don't know isn't code. It's other departments. I moved from the treatment room to the planning office not long ago, and I still don't really know how the other departments do their work. You can't automate what you don't understand. So before anything else, I'm doing the one thing that actually comes first: listening. Hearing what people in the field actually need, what's grinding on them, and figuring out the shape of a fix together, one conversation at a time. I've noticed something before, more than once: problems that look completely different from the outside — counting a stack of forms, tracking down misplaced supplies, sorting a pile of ID cards — usually reduce to the exact same shape underneath. Make the pile of things findable. I suspect the same pattern is waiting inside every other department too. I just haven't looked yet. That's how I

On a gray, humid Saturday morning in central Florida, a little under a dozen people gathered outside the Spring Hill Branch Library to protest the construction of a hyperscale data center in their community. There was no immediate threat - the Hernando County commission had unanimously approved a one-year moratorium on such developments in June […]

Designing and developing a new medicine is an expensive, failure-prone scientific challenge. A new drug can take many years to develop, at the cost of a significant investment. And even then, most possible candidates never reach the patient. For biologic medicines, therapies made from engineered proteins rather than synthetic chemistry (which are often used to…

New paper: “ Encryption and Globalization 15 Years Later: End-to-End Encryption and the Third Round of the ‘Going Dark’ Debate “: Abstract : This Article updates and expands on 2012 research on encryption and globalization, analyzing what the authors call “Round 3” of the Going Dark Debate: the current controversies over end-to-end encryption (E2EE). Governments around the world have proposed, and in some cases enacted, laws limiting E2EE for law enforcement and national security purposes. This Article explains the underlying technologies and market developments for a law and policy audience to assess those proposals critically. The Article proceeds in three parts tracking three rounds of the Going Dark Debate. Round 1 covers the Crypto Wars of the 1990s, when U.S. export controls on strong encryption ultimately fell in 1999. Round 2 covers the period roughly 2010 to 2015, when encryption-in-transit became widespread but lawful access remained available through cloud providers, giving rise to what the authors called a “golden age of surveillance” rather than a period of going dark. Round 3 addresses the current debate over E2EE, where no entity between sender and recipient can read the plaintext...

The EPA has proposed a rule change that would let states decide how much input the public has on air pollution permits. It would be a huge boon for data centers increasingly reliant on fossil fuels.

A few weeks ago, a back-of-envelope calculation told us that scaling Tula Spaces to 100,000 concurrent listeners would need roughly 100 small VPS boxes. That number was scary enough to derail a roadmap conversation — and, as it turned out, almost entirely wrong. This is the story of how we got from that panic number down to a real, measured, production-ready plan: five boxes, not a hundred, with every claim backed by a test rather than a guess. If you're building anything real-time at scale — live audio, video, multiplayer, anything running over QUIC — the failure modes we hit are probably waiting for you too. The panic number was built on an assumption, not a measurement The original math went something like: X% of a CPU core per listener, therefore Y cores needed, therefore Z boxes. It felt rigorous because it had numbers in it. But every number in that chain was inherited from an untuned, default configuration nobody had actually interrogated. The first rule we relearned the hard way: a scary capacity number is a hypothesis, not a fact, until you've tried to break it on purpose. Myth #1: "It's too much crypto for one core" Our relay runs one process per box, encrypting media for every connected listener over QUIC. At ~0.4% of a CPU core per listener at a modest bitrate, the instinctive explanation was cryptographic overhead — AES doesn't usually struggle at these data rates, so something had to be off. It wasn't crypto. It was packet count . Our encoder was emitting one CMAF fragment every 21 milliseconds — about 47 fragments a second, each one a separate send over the wire, per listener. That's a syscall and framing tax, not a cipher tax. Crypto didn't even show up in a profiler trace once we went looking. The instinct to reach for "batch the fragments" didn't work, though — that's the first place the story took a turn. Myth #2: Batching the container doesn't touch the wire We tried extending the CMAF fragment duration from 21ms to 200ms, expecting a straightfor

The European Union has fined Google's parent company Alphabet €890 million (about $1 billion) for two separate violations of the bloc's Digital Markets Act (DMA). One penalty is for giving its own products preferential treatment in search results, while the other is for blocking Android developers from sending users to alternate payment options. A €460 […]
