Matthew Green has a new site that tries to estimate the number of cryptanalyst-hours that have been spent analyzing different public-key algorithms: Abstract: We estimate how much public cryptanalysis each public-key assumption has received, using the literature itself as the instrument. From roughly sixteen thousand candidate papers we classify cryptanalytic work on ECDLP, structured and plain lattices, syndrome decoding and their comparators, then convert papers into estimated research-allocation years through a person-level author map. These publication-based estimates may substantially ov…

*You can drag and drop your old resume, and with a little luck, most of the data will be imported, which can at least serve as a good starting point. I initially built RickCV a few months ago as a simple template for an HTML resume and have continued to refine it over time. I and many people in my personal circle enjoy using it and have had success with it. It’s a relatively playful approach that might not be to everyone’s taste. It currently supports the following formats: - German cover letter following the layout rules of DIN 5008 - English cover letter, in A4 or US Letter. I hope you…

Candiru, an Israeli maker of spyware sold to governments, infected devices at the news network Al Jazeera through ordinary online ads, in attacks that needed no click or other action from the user, researchers at the Citizen Lab said Thursday. The hidden attack code ran the moment an ad loaded on the screen, and in some cases the ad loaded out of sight, in the background. The Citizen

TLDR: I’m building Earshot - the sound detection app that can detect (ideally) any sound described by text. The neural model under the hood is a CLAP-style model (CLIP for audio): basically during the training you force the model make inner text and audio representations to match. And then you can use such model as 0-shot audio classifier. For POC I used LAION’s clap-htsat model but it turned out to be quite "heavy" so I’ve trained a smaller one by myself. As for text encoder I used model from the EfficientAT family; for audio I used jhu-clsp/ettin-encoder-32m. The training was performe…

Hi HN, I built Nexus because I was tired of having multiple agents that I had to address one by one. I built an underlying mechanism where I could message all of them and have them have the capability to message each other and listen to wake events. I also got tired of having to run cron when I think that agents should have the capability to be event-driven. Nexus is basically a daemon that runs and routes messages to where they need to be, it is fully customizable, which you can write scripts off of so that it will wake agents or route that message to an already existing agent. Right now it…
