@marvin_tong @openclaw Happy CNY!

All of my aha moments for @openclaw happened while driving, resting on sofa or drinking. The lazier you are ( like me) the better. While I’m sitting in office in front of laptop, Claude code is the real king.

How do you handle credential security with agentic tools? Thinking about hosting a Zurich meetup on isolating OpenClaw credentials using macOS user spaces. Would anyone show up for this? If there's interest I'll make it happen. meetup.com/openclaw-zuric…

@_mahimna @PurdueCS @Tim_Roughgarden Great news. Congratulations!!

📣Excited to announce that I will start as an Assistant Professor @PurdueCS in Fall 2026! I plan to recruit multiple PhD students for a broad range of cryptography and blockchain topics. More details soon. For the next year, I'll be a postdoc at Columbia with @Tim_Roughgarden.

@talayhan_a Congratulations! :)

Got the PhD. Stay tuned for what’s next!

@0xQuintus Hm right, like if the physical address mapping is somehow data dependent.

@digi_james The authors know more than me That said, I wouldn’t be surprised if access patterns could still be used for this kind of attack even without deterministic encryption

New LLM side channels paper just dropped They are able to look at (encrypted) memory and reverse engineer the image that a model was doing inference over The vuln can be patched at low level software, but as soon as you have physical attackers, current hardware has no chance of stopping this

@0xQuintus Q: Why do these TEE's use deterministic encryption? Is the overhead for randomness so prohibitive and is this a common side-channel across TEE designs? Thank you!

Join us at the 4th Decentralized Meetup in our brand new @CommonPrefix Athens office tonight with three incredible technical talks for engineers/scientists in the blockchain field. Grab your spot: lu.ma/kc2byrnn?tk=xI…

Join us this Friday as we’re opening the doors of our brand‑new Athens office as part of @PanatheneaFest! Co-hosted with @poddotnetwork and @bigpivc, we'll explore breakthrough research, engineering hurdles, institutional breakthroughs and the next wave of crypto investments. Link: lu.ma/uw65lvrd👇1/3

Recorded an extended version of my MFCS'24 invited talk. The talk presents my personal experiences in entering learning theory with a TCS background. The target audience is mostly TCS researchers. Hope some of you might enjoy it. youtu.be/ZYe2mITwww4

My video lectures at @DIMACSCenter on Algebraic Complexity Theory are out. youtu.be/pGEk2e3qxN0?si… Accessible to anyone with basic background in Complexity Theory.

@aniketpkate @esnie17 @PurdueCS Congratulations @esnie17 !!

Congratulations to @esnie17 on the successful defense of her Ph.D. thesis titled "Relax the Reliance on Honesty in Distributed Cryptographic Protocols" at @PurdueCS This thesis is a culmination of her arduous efforts over the last five years combining ideas from game theory, cryptography, and distributed computing. These results are foundational to the different Web3/DeFi sub-systems. Check out her research at ttiangong.com

@cryptodavidw Yes please ✋

Anyone needs an invite?

@lululixious @IMDEA_Networks Congratulations @lululixious!!

Super excited to announce I will be moving to Madrid this fall to join @IMDEA_Networks as a Research Assistant Professor!! Looking forward to collaborating with folks there, building my group, and doing good research :) ft. the one semi nice pic I took during my interview trip

@OdedRechavi Nej

In Denmark it's important to learn how to say nø

@Indiaacm Congratulations @nutanlimaye
