What You Code Is What We Prove: Translating BLE App Logic into Formal Models with LLMs for Vulnerability Detection

What You Code Is What We Prove: Translating BLE App Logic into Formal Models with LLMs for Vulnerability Detection
The application layer of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) is a growing source of security vulnerabilities, as developers often neglect to implement critical protections such as encryption, authentication, and freshness. While formal verification offers a principled way to check these properties, the manual effort of constructing formal models makes it impractical for large-scale analysis. This paper introduces a key insight: BLE application security analysis can be reframed as a semantic translation …

I got in a nice 7km run tonight, feeling better after having had a cold.

I believe in the expanded fitness levels that zone 2 builds, but it suuuucks!

Understanding Ethical Practices in AI: Insights from a Cross-Role, Cross-Region Survey of AI Development Teams
Recent advances in AI applications have raised growing concerns about the need for ethical guidelines and regulations to mitigate the risks posed by these technologies. In this paper, we present a mixed-method survey study - combining statistical and qualitative analyses - to examine the ethical perceptions, practices, and knowledge of individuals involved in various AI development roles. Our survey includes 414 participants from 43 countries, representing roles such as AI managers, analysts, d…

Natural Disaster In Canada (2024)
This paper is a follow-up to our earlier study, Natural Disasters in Canada (2017). We analyze the Canadian Disaster Database (CDD) to examine the frequency and severity of various natural disasters over the past 120 years and to identify emerging trends. We generate annual loss distributions for individual disaster types, as well as an aggregate annual loss distribution across all event types. Our analysis provides evidence that Canada is experiencing warmer and wetter conditions and indicates…

«Settling for occasionally embarrassing Apple into partially reversing its most visibly egregious actions is ethically and morally stunted. Accepting the frame of "who should rule?" that Cupertino reflexively deploys is toxic to any hope of worthwhile technology because it creates and celebrates the idea of kings, leaving us supine relative to the mega-corps in our phones.»

«The “big tent” claim, overlaid on with #Framework’s outstanding promotion of Omarchy, looks cartoonishly reckless in this light. People don’t want this for Framework, and they’re cautious to distance themselves because they’ve seen other projects claim to be a “big tent”, only for the tent to catch on fire, melt, and shrink under everyone’s feet, because nobody used a fire extinguisher when it was early enough to do so.»

Working on the screen early in the day
Zoom and Skype and facts
And the bosses and servers push
Filling up with data.
In nursing homes and hospitals
Poorly paid and above all
Early shift, late shift, through the night
Work like the woman does.
Woman of labor, wake up,
And recognize your power!
Care and nursing stand still
If it's your clever head's will!

TIL: in 2020, someone added some verses to the German workers song "Bet und arbeit" (also known as Bundeslied) by Georg Herwegh:
Wirkst am Bildschirm früh am Tage
Zoom und Skype und Faktenlage
Und die Chefs und Server drängen
Füllen sich mit Datenmengen.
[…]
Frau der Arbeit, aufgewacht,
Und erkenne deine Macht!
Care und Pflege stehen still
Wenn dein kluger Kopf es will!

[I'll put the English translation of the stanzas in a post below]

«There is a massive power in standing for something that you'll never get by standing for whatever the most recent polls show. It's an attraction. It moves the lines of ought-to-be. It defines what is shameful by showing what is inspiring. It creates someplace else for people who have chosen shameful identities to go, if they so choose.»

Interesting to compare the response to #framework supporting the far-right between their own forums (which seems to be riddled with vocal nazi safety advocates) and reddit, where the most upvoted posts all condemn the company. 👀

Remember the stray dog that we adopted a few weeks ago, after park rangers cared for her in a natural reserve but without them being able to find anyone who would claim her as a lost/runaway dog?
Today we took her to be spayed. It was a short surgery, as the vet quickly noticed that she was already spayed. Seems she's at least a year older than initially estimated – which means that it's likely that someone abandoned the poor thing in the reserve.
