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.

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.

@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.Show this thread -
(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.)

I've met Kip at conferences before, he is so approachable and easy to talk to! Fangirl out!

I can just try and imagine the unmeasurable amount of spin-off knowledge that was made from this amazing work. And everything new this success will result in teaching us about the universe and everything.
