Absolutely unreal: I found a fifth bug in libcrux, this time in its PSQ implementation that would allow a denial of service via a malcrafted AES-GCM ciphertext.
I couldn't submit my PR: Cryspen blocked me after I submitted my first four PRs, which included a fix for a critical nonce reuse bug.

Interested in a rational discussion about the economics of orbital datacenters? Make some hypotheses (e.g.: launch cost, sunlight fraction, GPU degradation, etc.) and compare orbital vs terrestrial.

The list of people who celebrated Brexit (from the Kremlin to Jeffrey Epstein) tells you everything you need to know about it.
Peter Thiel celebrated Brexit with Jeffrey Epstein.
It was never about 'freeing' the UK.
It was about making it the USA's slave.

Child of a Holocaust survivor, here. Please continue to use Anne Frank as a comparison point for what ICE/CBP is doing in Minneapolis. It is an entirely apt and appropriate comparison.

This is an amazing article on crypto scam operations in South East Asia. Kudos to the source for his incredible courage.
Last year, a human trafficking victim trapped in a crypto scam compound in the Golden Triangle region of Laos contacted me. He then proceeded to leak to me a huge collection of the compound's internal materials.
Then he had to get out alive. This is his story.

Microsoft released NTLMv2 in 1998, no doubt because tools like L0phtCrack were able crack NTLMv1 passwords with the measly computing power then.
NTLMv1 is still in use today!
Mandiant has now released rainbow tables for NTLMv1 that can crack any pw in 12hrs on a $600 computer.

If Trump weren’t at the helm, I’d be tempted to think the entire Greenland affair was a superbly choreographed show aimed at breaking up the EU as a coherent political entity, with no real military threat. But it’s Trump, so there’s no 4D chess here.
