A little more of a broader overview of how those Giant Magellan Telescope mirrors are cast and finished, and what the final telescope & observatory will look like.

I am, like, really enthusiastic about floating-point numbers. Idk. I think it's just because they are needlessly hated on by some software developers who never learned the details of the IEEE standard and seem to think floats encounter rounding errors at random. I guess I just like to be counterculture like that. I saw that Audacity said my encoding was 32-bit float and I was like "hell yeah, 24 bits of precision (23 explicit, 1 implicit), 8-bit mantissa, and 1 sign bit? You go, digital audio workstation!"

51 years ago today, the first paper describing Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) was published. TCP is one of the foundational protocols of the Internet, along with IP, UDP, DNS, and HTTP.

Here's a link to a PDF of Cerf and Kahn's original paper, which appeared in the IEEE Transactions on Communications, 5 May 1974:

I was commissioned to create a series of illustrations for IEEE Spectrum, a magazine published by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. 

This illustration is about cryptography, a technique of securing information and communications using codes to ensure confidentiality, integrity and authentication. 

A big thanks to ADs Mark Montgomery and Randi Klett.
