Une collègue, mentore et amie, Andrée Lévesque, vient de faire paraître chez les Éditions du remue-ménage une monographie d'histoire que j'ai bien hâte Š lire : Les filles de Jeanne : Histoires de vies anonymes, 1658-1915 @…

Les filles de Jeanne - les éditions du remue-ménage
L’itinéraire de ces discrètes filles de Jeanne nous rappelle que l’histoire d’un peuple n’est pas que le fruit des décisions politiques et économiques. Elle est construite par une infinité de «petites gens», d’acteurs, et surtout d’actrices trop souvent considérées comme «sans qualité». Ce récit a bien peu à voir avec le monde politique. Il s’attarde

Members of House Republican leadership expressed frustration at Speaker Mike Johnson after a GOP leadership retreat over the weekend, organized to outline plans for keeping the majority, quickly turned into a religious service.
"I'm not at church," an anonymous attendee said in response to Johnson leading the group in prayers and Christian sermonizing. According to two people in the room the sermon was not well received, with one Rep. calling the session "horrible.&qu…

Es gibt Verwirrung rund um Luca Pay. Es ist aber total einfach und völlig anonym. Sobald ihr mich seht, drückt ihr mir Geld in die Hand. Fertig.
Fallt nicht auf die QR-Codes rein! Das Geld kommt nicht bei mir an. Es handelt sich dabei um etwas völlig anderes. Solltet ihr welche sehen, bei @… melden. Danke.

I think it depends a lot on the job and the people who run the company, and how long you think you’ll be staying. Be sure you clarify what kind of taxes you’ll be on the hook for, especially if you’re a US citizen (Uncle Sam wants his tax dollars no matter where you work).
If you want to move there long-term, be aware that some propertie…

Rebuilding ROME : Resolving Model Collapse during Sequential Model Editing
Recent work on model editing using Rank-One Model Editing (ROME), a popular model editing method, has shown that there are certain facts that the algorithm is unable to edit without breaking the model. Such edits have previously been called disabling edits. These disabling edits cause immediate model collapse and limits the use of ROME for sequential editing. In this paper, we make two main contributions. Firstly, we show that model collapse with ROME only happens when making edits using the Co…

#JackSmith questioning #Trump witnesses about Mar-a-Lago ‘hidden room’ and ‘locked closet’

Jack Smith questions Trump witnesses about Mar-a-Lago 'hidden room' and 'locked closet': Report
A new report out Friday contains claims from anonymous sources that the FBI search of Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort may have omitted a search of a "hidden room" and a locked closet.

I have a brief story to tell: Earlier this week, a large DDoS attack against 2 out of our larger set of #Tor (@…) relays - which also act as stable HSDir nodes - has managed to partially interrupt Internet traffic for the whole #JKULinz. While the attack was not huge compared to others (peak traffic around 3-4 Gbit/s, well above 1M PPS), we suspect either a nation state actor or fairly well-funded organization for 3 reasons:
* The attack was more advanced than simply saturating the upstream with bandwidth/packets, but had proper handshakes with the Tor relays, trying to cause resource exhaustion on the application level (we have seen this pattern multiple times in the last 6 months, but this one was much more massive in terms of incoming packets).
* The attack was very targeted, affecting only 2 IPs out of 25, consistently over some time. This indicates that either the position in the HSDir or specific connections or hidden services that were relayed over those nodes were the target - but note that these are only guesses, we don't have hard data on the motivation of this targeting.
* The only motivations that come to mind are either de-anonymization attacks or take-downs of particular hidden services. These do not seem to be relevant for usual ransom DDoS botnet attackers, but more for political reasons.
We have some flow data and would be interested in doing more analysis. Any ideas or correlation with other data on Tor relay attacks welcome :)

Disentangling ID and Modality Effects for Session-based Recommendation
Session-based recommendation aims to predict intents of anonymous users based on their limited behaviors. Modeling user behaviors involves two distinct rationales: co-occurrence patterns reflected by item IDs, and fine-grained preferences represented by item modalities (e.g., text and images). However, existing methods typically entangle these causes, leading to their failure in achieving accurate and explainable recommendations. To this end, we propose a novel framework DIMO to disentangle the…
