Somewhere in 2021, when I was still into gaming, I made a certain silly prediction about StarCraft. For fun and giggles I decided to encrypt it, put it on GitHub and wait.
I just tested if I'm still capable of decrypting it. All works well.
The prediction has zero chance of materializing but at this point I don't want to stop. Maybe in 2029 😄

Predicting Module-Lattice Reduction
Is module-lattice reduction better than unstructured lattice reduction? This question was highlighted as 'Q8' in the Kyber NIST standardization submission (Avanzi et al., 2021), as potentially affecting the concrete security of Kyber and other module-lattice-based schemes. Foundational works on module-lattice reduction (Lee, Pellet-Mary, Stehlé, and Wallet, ASIACRYPT 2019; Mukherjee and Stephens-Davidowitz, CRYPTO 2020) confirmed the existence of such module variants of LLL and block-reduction…

"Brits still buying EVs, heat pumps and solar panels despite drop in polling support and political attacks, Sky News analysis finds"

Brits still buying EVs, heat pumps and solar panels despite drop in polling support and political attacks, Sky News analysis finds
Fresh polling by YouGov, carried out exclusively for Sky News, finds that belief in and concern about man-made global warming remains as high as in their heyday in 2021, when the UK hosted the COP26 climate summit.

We watched one episode of High Potential (2024), liked it a lot, and then saw at the end credits that it's based on the French HPI: Haut Potentiel Intellectuel (2021). So we watched episode 1 of THAT.
It's fascinating to note the differences. The plots are basically identical, so the differences are nuance.

Bird-like robot with novel wing system achieves self-takeoff and low-speed flight
In 2021, a group of scientists from China engineered the RoboFalcon—a bird-inspired flapping-wing robot with a newly engineered mechanism made to drive bat-style morphing wings capable of flight. While this bio-inspired robot performed well at a cruising speed, it was not capable of flying at lower speeds or achieving takeoff without assistance.

Multiwavelength study of Galactic PeVatron LHAASO J0341+5258
Galactic PeVatrons are astrophysical sources accelerating particles up to a few PeV (~10$^{15}$ eV). The primary method to identify both electron and proton PeVatrons is the observation of $γ$-ray radiation at ultra-high energies (UHE; E$>$100 TeV). In 2021, LHAASO detected 14 steady $γ$-ray sources with photon energies above 100 TeV and up to 1.4 PeV. Most of these sources can be plausibly associated with objects such as supernova remnants, pulsar wind nebulae, and stellar clusters. However,…
