Cacao agroforestry in Belize hits the sweet spot for people and nature
The Maya Golden Landscape in southern Belize is a patchwork of protected areas, agricultural lands and small communities, part of the greater Maya Forest, the second-largest tropical forest in the Americas, after the Amazon. It’s a haven for predators like jaguars (Panthera onca) and pumas (Puma concolor), and threatened species like Baird’s tapirs (Tapirus bairdii) […]

GATEBLEED: Exploiting On-Core Accelerator Power Gating for High Performance & Stealthy Attacks on AI
As power consumption from AI training and inference continues to increase, AI accelerators are being integrated directly into the CPU. Intel's Advanced Matrix Extensions (AMX) is one such example, debuting on the 4th generation Intel Xeon Scalable CPU. We discover a timing side and covert channel, GATEBLEED, caused by the aggressive power gating utilized to keep the CPU within operating limits. We show that the GATEBLEED side channel is a threat to AI privacy as many ML models such as transform…

Today the European Commission will release a draft budget which is expected to make major changes to agribusiness subsidies (the CAP).
I think the only way to fix the #CAP is to kill it completely. Rename it and forget it. I'm not anti-regulation in general but I don't believe it's possible for bureaucrats in Bruxelles to meaningfully manage lands 2500 km away.
Why? Elinor Ostrom ex…

AugerPrime: Status and first results
With the knowledge and statistical precision derived from two decades of measurement, the Pierre Auger Observatory has significantly deepened our understanding of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays while unearthing an increasingly complex astrophysical landscape and exposing tensions with hadronic interaction models. The field now demands the mass of individual cosmic-ray primaries as an observable with an exposure that only the 3000-square-kilometer surface array of the Observatory can provide. Acc…
