This is great! Not sure which high level language you are targetting, but consider Subrust instead of C: https://github.com/orbitalhigh/subrust How does LowIRSSA compare to P1pp fr…

Short article, but it's good food for thought, thanks. "The engines that ended up everywhere were not the ones being argued about." LLMs are still quite recent indeed!

I needed to run user scripts for an app, and decided to use a subset of Rust as the scripting language. I do not expect a typical user to write the script directly, a local LLM wil…

simonw posted 2 different images: make sure to look at the second one.

Fed into a clear Claude Code max effort session with : "Inspect waldo2.png, and give me the pixel location of a raccoon holding a ham radio.". It sliced the image into small sectio…

Any reason BetaFlight doesn't appear to have even basic pre-shared key symmetric encryption? Some ciphers aren't that CPU intensive.

I wonder what will happen to Canadarm 3, as work for it has already started. https://www.asc-csa.gc.ca/eng/canadarm3/about.asp

Do any of these attacks matter for single-tenant computers where all network packets are sent on a hardware timer (say, 10 kHz) independent of crypto computing? Doesn't that mitiga…

There has been a recent discussion about the monoculture in crypto, and how ChaCha20 is a fallback to AES256. All current mainstream ciphers are relatively easy to transform into S…

Thanks Ivan, makes sense. With the ongoing work of integrating Rust into Linux, I hope we'll see some of that sought-after stability in its tooling. I appreciate the insight - I al…

What's the status of Rust usage inside NASA? I am currently writing software that, hopefully, will be sent to the Moon one day, and I am considering options as to software technolo…
