Precisely the first video I started downloading and I didn't even realize it was from Cory. It carries even more weight now that "post-American" is coming from...an American. This guy stands for his ideals, I envy such resolve.
In the talk he mentions he’s from Canada…
Where were people's favourite lectures? I attended 7 talks. My favourite talk by far was hacking the GPG. Brilliant, really: https://media.ccc.de/v/39c3-to-sign-or-not-to-sign-practical... The "In-house electronics manufacturing from scratch" was a very inspiring talk: https://media.ccc.de/v/39c3-in-house-electronics-manufacturi... The rest were less good for me personally. Either over-dramatic and shallow (with a se…
The 10 year of Dieselgate is interesting just from a "how bad is it really?" PoV, I saw the part about curves and other defeat devices already [1].
The Rowhammer talk is likely going to be great as well, I like Daniel's work [2].
The practical Cross-VM Spectre was interesting to show this is still a problem [3].
The opensource secure element was good for trying such a thing, but I wasn't that impressed with the content [4].

PS: HN sucks with dupes.

I think people have little patience lately for tolerating private discussion they find objectionable with Epstein.
I think people have little patience (or rather fear) to engage with different points of view in general these days.

One interesting detail: In previous years, Joscha Bach gave a talk on AI, consciousness, and related topics (see e.g. [0]). A similar talk was planned for this year as well, but after emails between him and Epstein were made public (see his comment on this in [1]), his talk was canceled. Instead, there appears to have been an event that critically addressed the situation [2]. Unfortunately it was not recorded. Did an…
Assembly events like [2] are not recorded because they are largely self-organized and barely moderated (if at all).
"The main part of the workshop consists of a moderated deliberative discussion with the audience."
I think it is a bit ironic, that Joshua got canceled because of a private conversation - and the debate about it is not recorded, so .. in effect people are more free to express their opinions without getting canceled.
Disapointing to me. Joshua seems to have points of views I find debatable (I don't know much about him) But canceling to not have to stand his opinions? That is very much against the hacker spirit to me and he is a smart guy who knows a lot about AI.
