If you know about my professional background, the most puzzling aspect of this Substack must be that I don’t use it to talk about my primary field of expertise: information security.
I do like your current stream of articles. Several of them bring me back to my EE studies at the university. However, I do miss the "museum of broken packets".
I do like what you write about. I understand why you choose not to write about infosec, now that you have written this post. The one thing I would say is that you explain things very well, far better than the average pundit, so I would be delighted to hear thoughts from you on infosec, in addition to the other things that interest you. There must be some topics that are less of the hot-button, hot-take variety, I should think; e.g., general principles, historical notes, like that.
But again, happy to read whatever you write about.
Thanks. I was thinking about that. I think there's a lot of interesting historical knowledge that's getting lost, and some research that stood the test of time. We'll see!
I don't know: there only so much you can read about the current ne'er-do-well of the week, but there's no shortage of people writing about it. There aren't many people writting good articles on math or chicken automation.
An the current LLM hype is even worse. At least the ne'er-do-wells sometimes come up with something interesting to do.
refreshing take. this is why i would not unsubscribe anytime soon

I appreciate your TikTok-level hot take on this subject :)
But seriously, your blog covers subjects I found sorely lacking in the blogosphere, and does great justice in explaining them, that's why I follow it.

For the record, I far prefer the interesting topics you do write about.
