I had to search these terms, does ADR mean ‘Architecture decision record’ and C4 the ‘C4 model’? How do you combine them in documentation?

Good question. Unfortunately, academic knowledge is widely ‘verboten’ already. Everything under paywall, researchers having to pay up to $10,000 to publish in open access in some v…

The issue here is ACM focusing on licensing. A non profit would not be able to pay ACM for access. Hence why this policy is hypocritical: it gives more power to the larger players …

This makes no sense whatsoever. How would a philosopher of science, or a social scientist who publish in the ACM apply for a patent? Or someone who builds software (software patent…

As a researcher with many articles in the ACM library, I have to say this is a masterclass in hypocrisy. Obviously, lawyers can decipher the terms of ACM publishing contracts and C…

Entropy is unfortunately a very bad metric to estimate if these identification techniques will scale. Plugging my work here as example: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-024-5…

If you look at the bottom of the page, you’ll find guidelines that mention which content is welcomed: “Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than ha…

Hi all, co-author here! Happy to answer any questions about our work.

(Title edited, was slightly too long)

This sounds super interesting and relevant. I run a small cluster with H100s (often research projects with vLLM) and being able to see not just usage but efficiency would be great.…

It's not a zero-sum game, you can both protect people and reap the benefits of health data. Many countries have much safer approaches. UK Biobank typically leads with the scale of …

That's a very important point. The people who opt out first are typically not a random fraction of the population, and this makes it much harder to make any analyses with the resul…

Good catch! The data is everywhere, re-uploaded every week. I am aware of ~30 repositories that UK Biobank has asked GitHub to delete, and can still be found elsewhere online. They…

You mean giving anyone access to the data? Or open sourcing the code? If the latter, I think that's a generally a good practice. Security through obscurity is never good for public…

They may have been leaked up to 197 times: https://biobank.rocher.lc/

I'm a researcher studying privacy, and I started tracking the DMCA notices that UK Biobank sends to GitHub. I tracked 110 notices filed so far, targeting 197 code repositories by 1…

yes, there’s an active area of research on web fingerprint, both attacks and defences. Look at conferences like PETS for instance

Is it me or they very carefully do not report performance on GPT-5.4 Pro, only the default GPT-5.4? They also very carefully left Anthropic models out of their comparison. I went b…
