First, both files are in iCloud, but not locally available. They have a dotted cloud icons in the iCloud Status field of the Finder window, and a greyed background in the output of the `ls` …

Surfacing Pathological Behaviors in Language Models
We train reinforcement learning (RL) agents to craft realistic natural-language prompts that elicit specified behaviors in frontier open-weight models (Llama 3.1/4, Qwen 2.5, and DeepSeek-V3), using a proposed variational lower bound to guide the search.

MULTISS: un protocole de stockage confidentiel {à} long terme sur plusieurs r{é}seaux QKD
This paper presents MULTISS, a new protocol for long-term storage distributed across multiple Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) networks. This protocol is an extension of LINCOS, a secure storage protocol that uses Shamir secret sharing for secret storage on a single QKD network. Our protocol uses hierarchical secret sharing to distribute a secret across multiple QKD networks while ensuring perfect security. Our protocol further allows for sharing updates without having to reconstruct the entire s…
