It is high time we let go of the Mersenne Twister
When the Mersenne Twister made his first appearance in 1997 it was a powerful example of how linear maps on $\mathbf F_2$ could be used to generate pseudorandom numbers. In particular, the easiness with which generators with long periods could be defined gave the Mersenne Twister a large following, in spite of the fact that such long periods are not a measure of quality, and they require a large amount of memory. Even at the time of its publication, several defects of the Mersenne Twister were …

Ich hab ein Video gestern gesehen, wo es um die Domain afd-aichbach,de ging. Diese möchte die AfD gerne haben. Und hat nun den Besitzer von der Domain verklagt, der Besitzer ist ein Freund von dem Youtuber Hey Wolfi.
Das ganze fing schon im jahr 2020 an, das was da abgeht, ist echt komisch.
Jedenfalls haben die wohl einen guten Anwalt und sie wollen durch alle Instanzen gehen, bis zum bitteren Ende ..

Let’s build a high-performance fuzzer with GPUs!
TL;DR: Can we use GPUs to get 10x performance/dollar when fuzzing embedded software in the cloud? Based on our preliminary work, we think the answer is yes! Fuzzing is a software testing technique that supplies programs with many randomized inputs in an attempt to cause unexpected behavior. It’s an important, […]
