That's incorrect. Current asymmetric (ie: public-key) algorithms built using prime factoring or elliptic curve techniques are vulnerable to quantum attack using Shor's algorithm. However, symmetric algorithms are not nearly as

I do appreciate the scrappiness of your solution. Used drives for a storage cluster is like /r/homelab on steroids. And since it's pretraining data, I suppose data integrity isn't critical. Most venture-backed startups w

Did you do any kind of redundancy at least (eg: putting every 10 disks in RAID 5 or RAID Z1)? Or I suppose your training application doesn't mind if you shed a few terabytes of data every so often?

I doubt the OpenZFS team would move to GPLv2 if they were able to relicense to anything they wanted. Given their close association with FreeBSD, BSD-2 or a similar permissive license wouldn't shock me. But it's an academic exercis

You are ascribing motives to the OpenZFS project that aren't there. Sun was the one that licensed it CDDL, and OpenZFS is a fork that was created when Oracle bought Sun and decided to close source ZFS. Oracle has zero involvement with

Sun is dead and the ZFS copyright transferred to Oracle who then turned it into a closed source product. The modern OpenZFS project is not part of Oracle, it's a community fork from the last open source version. OpenZFS is what peopl

When DeepSeek first hit the news, an American senator proposed adding it to ITAR so they could send people to prison for using it. Didn't pass, thankfully.

The broadcast license is also strictly speaking only necessary for over the air stations, it does not apply to cable. Cable providers get ABC for cheap due to Section 111 compulsory licensing (short version: a cable provider can retransmit

A deepfake version of Mark Carney keeps trying to get me to sign up for scam crypto exchanges. Clicking the report link does nothing. With all the money that Google has plowed into AI, they clearly could solve this problem if they want to.

Sponsorships are the primary way YouTube creators make money. There aren't many things that could knock YouTube off its near-monopoly market position, but banning sponsorships is definitely one. Creators would revolt.

Not really. Radiation shielding has diminishing returns with thickness as the relationship is logarithmic. A few millimeters of aluminum cuts down most of your ionizing dose by orders of magnitude over unshielded, but doing appreciably bett

Not really. There are a couple of open source projects (LibreCube being the biggest example) but they aren't flight-ready.

The annoying answer is "it depends." The main drivers are reliability (ie: how much risk of failure are you willing to accept) and mission life (ionizing dose is cumulative, so a 2 year vs. 10 year mission will have different requ

Yep, but students love reinventing the wheel ;). I agree though, my dream for years has been an open source CubeSat bus design that covers say 80% of academic CubeSat use cases and can be modified by the user for the other 20%. Unfortunatel

In my experience, having provided advice to a lot of academic CubeSats: the issues usually aren't related to the parts, the problems are usually lack of testing and general inexperience. Yes, a Raspberry Pi isn't radiation hardene

IIRC, that used to be the opinion of the Signal project as well, but backups are such a requested feature it looks like they've finally decided to offer it.

RDRAND has a throughput of hundreds of megabytes per second on most processors. Getting 226 bits is pretty easy, even shuffling millions of decks per second you'd be bottlenecked elsewhere. (That does sound like a fun optimization chal

Makes sense! Also, how does Speck fare in power analysis side channel attacks vs Ascon? My understanding was that was also one of the NIST criteria.

by Sanzig 1y ago
Eh, the problem with AES is side channel attacks in software implementations. They aren't necessarily obvious, especially if you're deploying on an oddball CPU architecture. This standard targets hardware without AES accelerators

Speck? To my knowledge there aren't any serious flaws despite a lot of public cryptanalysis. I think what sank Speck was that it came out a few years after after the Dual_EC_DRBG fiasco and nobody was ready to trust an NSA developed ci
