January 1 came and went and Texas’s AI regulation went into effect. There are a couple things to like about Texas’s attempt here. There are many things to dislike. One aspect in particular: The definition of AI seems to cover just about any software application, right? > TRAIGA broadly defines an “artificial intelligence system” as “any machine-based system that, for any explicit or implicit objective, infers from the inputs the system receives how to generate outputs, including content, decisions, predictions, or recommendations, that can influence physical or virtual environments.” Maybe it’s the legalese, but I’m trying to figure out what machine-based system doesn’t function like this. Does it all hinge on “infer” rather than another verb like “calculate?”

Hey y'all don't sleep on this one. **Agency Information Collection Activities: Vulnerability Reporting Submission Form** #CISA wants to know what your ideal vulnerability reporting system would look like. "CISA previously published this ICR in the Federal Register on October 30, 2024, for a 60-day public comment period. **CISA received one comment.** The purpose of this notice is to allow an additional 30-days for public comments." Man, remember October, 2024? Things were looking pretty great back then. What a time to be alive. Anyway, thanks for the extension, Kevin, ya big lug!

Last night at about 11:30pm, I took a practice ham radio Technician test. I fell asleep twice. I guessed most answers (I know jack all about radio, slightly more about electrical engineering). I got 63%. I suspect I can study up enough in time to pass a the exam at @DEF CON ham .

 Thanks to That Texas Country Music Guy at DC512 for encouraging this side quest!
It's not just me, right? Post-quantum crytography aka #PQC, especially quantum-resistant cryptography, smells an awful lot like snake oil. I cannot figure out how people sell this stuff with apparent sincerity when it's clearly impossible to test in production.
Say, what's the first major-release film to mention either "the internet" or "the world wide web?" (Or, alternatively, "DNS" or "SMTP" or "TCP/IP" or other uniquely internet technology, though that seems doubtful.) And I mean mention as in, either in dialogue or printed and shown on screen in a newspaper or something. There's a kind of [annoying reddit thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/movies/comments/o98hkx/what_was_the_earliest_reference_to_the_internet/ ) about this that's not very helpful and is fixated on WarGames which definitely doesn't talk about the internet (all the comms in that movie are over dialup). A timestamp reference would be just great if you have it.
