Gezielte Spyware bespitzelt iPhones: Apple warnt Nutzer in vielen Ländern
Die Warnhinweise schickte Apple offenbar an Nutzer in über 90 Ländern. Von dem Verweis auf "staatlich geförderte Angriffe" ist das Unternehmen abgerückt.

Of course, I can't start a day without being awfully angry about some shit.
So #Gentoo suddenly undoes USE=lzma [and USE=zstd] that used to be enabled by default in 23.0 profiles, apparently based on "consensus" on the mailing lists. The "consensus" boils down to one conspiracy theorist developer complaining, and being supported by 3 users whose Gentoo contributions boil down to having to express their opinions on everything on the mailing list.
This isn't only a problem, because Gentoo is letting itself be controlled by a vocal minority. This is a problem, because we've enabled something that can affect program output, told everyone to upgrade and rebuild their systems, then pulled the carpet from under them.
Wait, did that random app start using LZMA compression now that you've enabled it? Well, bad luck, you won't be able to open your files anymore. Surely, there's no better #security than not being able to do anything!
Unfortunately, sys-apps/kmod had explicit IUSE= lzma by default for a while now, so there's still a risk that you'll be able to boot your system. That's not good for security at all!

Yeah, the ad was really tone deaf. 😒

Authorship Attribution in Bangla Literature (AABL) via Transfer Learning using ULMFiT
Authorship Attribution is the task of creating an appropriate characterization of text that captures the authors' writing style to identify the original author of a given piece of text. With increased anonymity on the internet, this task has become increasingly crucial in various security and plagiarism detection fields. Despite significant advancements in other languages such as English, Spanish, and Chinese, Bangla lacks comprehensive research in this field due to its complex linguistic featu…

Reasonable Space for the $λ$-Calculus, Logarithmically
Can the $λ$-calculus be considered a reasonable computational model? Can we use it for measuring the time $\textit{and}$ space consumption of algorithms? While the literature contains positive answers about time, much less is known about space. This paper presents a new reasonable space cost model for the $λ$-calculus, based on a variant over the Krivine abstract machine. For the first time, this cost model is able to accommodate logarithmic space. Moreover, we study the time behavior of our …

Learning of deep convolutional network image classifiers via stochastic gradient descent and over-parametrization
Image classification from independent and identically distributed random variables is considered. Image classifiers are defined which are based on a linear combination of deep convolutional networks with max-pooling layer. Here all the weights are learned by stochastic gradient descent. A general result is presented which shows that the image classifiers are able to approximate the best possible deep convolutional network. In case that the a posteriori probability satisfies a suitable hierarchi…
