Choosing a hash function for 2030 and beyond: SHA-2 vs SHA-3 vs BLAKE3
As everyone knows, "temporary fixes" are nothing but temporary.
Unfortunately, the same is true for cryptography: unless security is your core value-proposition, crypto algorithms are almost never updated, and that's how we end up with SHA1-hashed password in 2024 🤦‍♂️

The evolution of CME sheath turbulence from L1 to Earth: Wind and MMS observations of the 2023-04-23 CME
An interplanetary shock driven by a coronal mass ejection (CME) containing an interval of sub-Alfvénic flow impacted Earth on April 23, 2024. In this article, we analyze the turbulence in the sheath region between the shock and CME to determine how it evolves from L1 (as observed by Wind) to Earth (as observed by MMS, upstream of the bow shock). Wind and MMS were separated by $55\,\mathrm{R_{E}}$ in the dawn-dusk direction, but the shock normals differ by only $2.8^{\circ}$ and the Pearson cor…

Armed groups, cattle ranchers drove 35% rise in Colombia’s deforestation in 2024
The prediction came true: deforestation in Colombia increased in 2024 after two years of decline, just as the environment ministry had warned since April last year. The ministry announced that Colombia lost 1,070 square kilometers (413 square miles) of forest in 2024, a 35% increase from 2023, when deforestation hit 793 km2 (306 mi2). Former […]

Publishing's class problem
The 2024 data shows a similar picture of middle-class origin dominance of publishing. Although there are year-on-year variations, since 2019 there has consistently been more than 60% proportions of middle-class origin people in publishing occupations. In the same period, working-class origin proportions have never been above 20%.

Rustls Server-Side Performance
In past years, the Rustls project has been happy to receive substantial investments from the ISRG. One of our goals has been to improve performance without compromising on safety. We last posted about our performance improvements in October of 2024, and we're back to talk about another round of improvements. What is Rustls? Rustls is a memory safe TLS implementation with a focus on performance. It is production ready and used in a wide range of applications.

GL-LowPopArt: A Nearly Instance-Wise Minimax Estimator for Generalized Low-Rank Trace Regression
We present `GL-LowPopArt`, a novel Catoni-style estimator for generalized low-rank trace regression. Building on `LowPopArt` (Jang et al., 2024), it employs a two-stage approach: nuclear norm regularization followed by matrix Catoni estimation. We establish state-of-the-art estimation error bounds, surpassing existing guarantees (Fan et al., 2019; Kang et al., 2022), and reveal a novel experimental design objective, $\mathrm{GL}(π)$. The key technical challenge is controlling bias from the non…

Measurement of the diffuse astrophysical neutrino flux over six seasons using cascade events from the Baikal-GVD expanding telescope
We present an updated measurement of the diffuse astrophysical neutrino flux using Baikal-GVD cascade data collected between April 2018 to March 2024. In this period, the detector grew from 15% to 55% of its baseline cubic kilometer configuration. The diffuse astrophysical neutrino flux is detected with a statistical significance of 5.1 $σ$. Assuming a single power law model of the astrophysical neutrino flux with identical contribution from each neutrino flavor, the following best-fit paramet…
