US investors in spyware firms nearly tripled in 2024: report
The role American investors are playing in propping up spyware vendors is notable given the aggressive actions the U.S. government has taken to rein in the sector, including through sanctions, entity listings and visa restrictions.

Here’s a good analysis by Gartner and The Next Platform that tries to make sense of spending on AI predictions over the next few years. “if you add devices to datacenter stuff, then AI drove 19.6 percent of IT revenues in 2024 and will drive 27.2 percent of IT revenues in 2025 and 34.1 percent in 2026.”

A comprehensive write-up on post-quantum cryptography in today's web.
My favourite quote: "we are in an interesting in-between time, where almost all Internet traffic is protected by post-quantum key agreement, but not a single public post-quantum certificate is used."

The state of the post-quantum Internet
Today, nearly two percent of all TLS 1.3 connections established with Cloudflare are secured with post-quantum cryptography. What once was the topic of futuristic tech demos will soon be the new security baseline for the Internet. In this blog post we’ll take measure of where we are now in early 2024, what to expect for the coming years, and what you can do today.

AC^0[p]-Frege Cannot Efficiently Prove that Constant-Depth Algebraic Circuit Lower Bounds are Hard
We study whether lower bounds against constant-depth algebraic circuits computing the Permanent over finite fields (Limaye-Srinivasan-Tavenas, J. ACM 2025; Forbes, CCC 2024) are hard to prove in certain proof systems. We focus on a DNF formula that expresses that such lower bounds are hard for constant-depth algebraic proofs. Using an adaptation of the diagonalization framework of Santhanam and Tzameret (SIAM J. Comput. 2025), we show unconditionally that this family of DNF formulas does not ad…
