Edit: sibling comments add good perspective to this. While I agree papers should be clearer, and should be accompanied by auxiliary material making the paper easier to understand and apply, I do not agree academia deliberately encourages pa

I would agree with you; but I drink alcoholic drinks, so.. i guess I kinda do understand why…

Understood, thank you for taking the time to type this all out. Some if it does ring true to me.

Pardon me, I loved the cryptonomicon but I don’t know what the usual caveats are about the author, could you share with the class please :-) ?

Nitpick, this is a column written by James Mickens, not a published paper. It is funny, true, and wise, though.

Yes, I was shocked by this too moving phones many years ago. I’m surprised things haven’t improved. I switched to 1Password for this reason; it backs up the 2FA seeds, and I only use it for storing the 2FA seeds, and when I need to use it,

Many years ago, Fog Creek Software (actually Joel Spolsky) published a blog showing results of a similar experiment: price vs demand, where price of a certain population fluctuated naturally due to exchange rate fluctuations. There are more

Personally, I’ve switched to kagi. I’m not sure it’s objectively better, but the weird spam results seem to be gone, and I found them so painful I’ve never been tempted to retry an unsatisfactory result from kagi in google.

A paper I co wrote deals with this problem: can we generate a private key for a corrupted real public key (also 2048 bjt as it happens)? The application is corrupting a public key with rowhammer and then using the factorization to generate

Sounds to me like they are superb researchers. (Eureka moments leading you down more deadends is so wel put too.)

I don’t think it is true that git status does any remote repo access. It doesn’t match the functionality of git and git status, as git status shows the difference between the working copy and the current commit - all of which is local infor

I loved this video. Highlight at the end “kids these days… they’re gonna save the world.” A while ago I watched a longer, more in depth video on the same topic (spoiler for video title) by Angela Collier. Can recommend, she has a pleasant s

Nog OP, but i think they are referring to the fact that you can use PCA (principal component analysis) on a matrix of datapoints to approximate it. Works out of the box in scikit-learn. You can do (lossy) compression on rows of vectors (tr

To those wondering: (Incidentally, none of this affects Ed25519. The spec for that system includes its own idea of how you should do deterministic nonce generation - completely different again, naturally - and we did it that way rather

Systems are full of covert channels; can you explain why they would be a security problem to you?

Are you perhaps thinking of the CANVAS exploit kit that was leaked from Immunity? If so, I agree this is a good example, although how 'in the wild' a red team exploit kit can be considered to be is perhaps up for debate.
