> “Doesn’t the NSA lie to break our encryption?” No, the NSA has never intentionally jeopardized US national security with a non-NOBUS backdoor, and there is no way for ML-KEM and ML-DSA to hide a NOBUS backdoor. The most concrete issue

That's so cool. This is interestingly very similar to domain fronting, except in this case the server doesn't need to work around it because it will still see the correct SNI. Do DPI servers in your experience only check the first

Very cool. The horsle demo made me think, how hard would it be to add a virtual memory address (or a non-8086 RAND instruction) that returns a random byte (that would allow it to pick a random value and get a standard wordle working in prin

It emits a cmp/jmp still when arithmetic would be fine though which is the difference highlighted in the article and examples in this thread. It's nice that it simplifies down to assembly, but the assembly is somewhat questionable

I see yeah that makes sense. I wanted to highlight that "magic" will, on average, give the optimizer a harder time. Explicit offset loops like that are generally avoided in many C++ styles in favor of iterators.

In my experience C++ abstractions give the optimizer a harder job and thus it generates worse code. In this case, different code is emitted by clang if you write a C version[0] versus C++ original[1]. Usually abstraction like this means tha

I think you could argue there is already some effort to do type safety at the ISA register level, with e.g. shadow stack or control flow integrity. Isn't that very similar to this, except targeting program state rather than external me

Everything really is a file: if you do `cat /` you'll get back the internal representation of the directory entries in / (analogous to ls) And they still had coredumps at the time if you press ctrl-\

You can also press `s` to save data from a pipe to a file rather than manually copy pasting.

Ah you can use https://github.com/NixOS/patchelf/pull/564 So you can do e.g. `patchelf --remove-needed-version libm.so.6 GLIBC_2.29 ./mybinary` instead of replacing glibc wholesale (step 2 and 3) and ass

This is true, but there is a subtle point that key K1 used for the classical algorithm must be statistically independent of key K2. If they're not, you could end up where second algorithm is correlated with the first in some way and th

I might be wrong, but can't you checkpoint the post-system prompt model and restore from there, trading memory for compute? Or is that too much extra state?
