      I’m at the Nobel Ceremony. If Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie hadn’t written “The C Programming Language” so so so well, which I read overnight to get the job that saved me from being homeless at 17, I’m not even sure I’d be alive, let alone here. Here’s to good writing.https://twitter.com/anildash/status/939137973240696832 …

      Well, that was a lot of pomp and circumstance. I have to say, the science remains as exciting to me today as my earliest memories of discovering tye endeavor. Goosebumps from the LIGO folks getting the prize on.pic.twitter.com/p1QCe32rq6

      So the whole Nobel banquet thing is a sit-down dinner—great food and amazing live music and all, but the LIGO people are sitting down with the King Of Sweden, no fair. I want to go fan-girl.

      LIGO laureates are addressing the banquet. I’m as excited as I’d been the day I learned about black holes and gravitational waves. :-)pic.twitter.com/xQJtGM10AH

      Soooo Physiology and Medicine Laureate Rosbash started by talking about circadian rhythms and Drosophila but ended with importance of welcoming refugees and the rising anti-science climate in the United States. Sharp, political speech.pic.twitter.com/iqJuLegi8g

          Oookay, found the physics laureates for LIGO, fan-girled, shook hands, thrilled. /curtains

          Soo fangirling the LIGO team continues! I got to ask Kip Thorne how it felt to have succeeded in something seemingly implausible. He said “I had the great fortune of being attached to a superb team.” Such humility and team work in top scientists is both so real and not uncommon.

          I think I’ll go down in Nobel history as “that LIGO groupie”, which is *totally* fine with me, but just for the record, I swear, I was very polite. :-)

          Leaving Stockholm! I think, maybe, just maybe, I spot another member of the LIGO laureate team on the same plane from the corner of my eye—I won’t bug him, I promise—but this has been so thrilling! I’ve had the biggest fangirl week of my life, I think. 😀

          Also, relevant to AI debates. TIL from @DrKevinFu that LIGO management injects false signals to keep analysts on toes and to guard against sensor failures. *That's* how you do security architecture against component failure *and* manipulation. Need to adopt for AI/social media.

          (He has a forthcoming piece on how physical security threats—like transduction attacks—are often ignored. Computing/security isn't just about algorithms or encryption, it has to include dynamics and "exploits" via people *and* physics. Will circle back once his article is out.)
