AVON: Your name wouldn't be Shrinker, by any chance, would it?
SHRINKER: You've heard of me?
AVON: Ah. I knew if I held out, you would show up eventually.
SHRINKER: That says more for your nerve than your brain.

Verifiable Weighted Secret Sharing
Traditionally, threshold secret sharing (TSS) schemes assume all parties have equal weight, yet emerging systems like blockchains reveal disparities in party trustworthiness, such as stake or reputation. Weighted Secret Sharing (WSS) addresses this by assigning varying weights to parties, ensuring security even if adversaries control parties with total weight at most a threshold $t$. Current WSS schemes assume honest dealers, resulting in security from only honest-but-curious behaviour but not …

Just bought a lifetime license for Atmos because it is just sooo good for creating perceptually uniform color palettes – including a shade generator, a contrast checker, OKLCH support, CSS export, a Figma plugin, online sharing, and, and… 😍 👉 https://atmos.style

Rocket League: scoring a pizza
There's a new temporary mode on Rocket League, with some sort of collaboration with the Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles. Yes, I said Hero. It's similar to Snow Day, but played on a split-goal field and with a giant pizza instead of the puck, and you can't jump, and you have a grapple hook which regenerates over time, and boost which also regenerates.

Listening Across the Cosmic Time: Standard Sirens from Ground- and Space-Based Missions in the Next Decade
Precise measurement of the Hubble parameter will enable stringent tests of the standard model for cosmology. Standard sirens, using the luminosity distances measured by gravitational-wave observations of compact binary mergers, are expected to provide such measurements independently in the next decade. With the ground- and space-based gravitational wave observatories, the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) network and the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA), different types of standard sirens altoget…

I've been using #kicad to reverse my dad's frequency standard, locked off BBC Radio4 198kHz. I'm sure there are bits I've not got right, but the vague shape is there - a loop with input amp/filters from the receiver, which ends up combining with the divided output (at 2kHz) with the output of a 10MHz crystal oscillator based on a 74HC00; that combined result ends up driving a var…

LLM-Based Identification of Infostealer Infection Vectors from Screenshots: The Case of Aurora
Infostealers exfiltrate credentials, session cookies, and sensitive data from infected systems. With over 29 million stealer logs reported in 2024, manual analysis and mitigation at scale are virtually unfeasible/unpractical. While most research focuses on proactive malware detection, a significant gap remains in leveraging reactive analysis of stealer logs and their associated artifacts. Specifically, infection artifacts such as screenshots, image captured at the point of compromise, are large…
