Today, 16 years ago, Debian published a security advisory announcing CVE-2008-0166, a severe bug in their OpenSSL package that effectively broke the random number generator and limited the key space to a few ten thousand keys. The vulnerability affected Debian Ubuntu between 2006 and 2008. In 2007, an email signature system called DKIM was introduced. Is it possible that people configured DKIM in 2007, never changed their key, and are still vulnerable to CVE-2008-0166?

Impact of Training Instance Selection on Automated Algorithm Selection Models for Numerical Black-box Optimization
The recently proposed MA-BBOB function generator provides a way to create numerical black-box benchmark problems based on the well-established BBOB suite. Initial studies on this generator highlighted its ability to smoothly transition between the component functions, both from a low-level landscape feature perspective, as well as with regard to algorithm performance. This suggests that MA-BBOB-generated functions can be an ideal testbed for automated machine learning methods, such as automated…

In this paper we obtain general geometric identities relating the transverse derivatives of the ambient Ricci tensor and the transverse expansion of the metric at the null hypersurface. We also explore the case where the hypersurface exhibits a generalized symmetry generator, namely a privileged vector field in the ambient space which, at the hypersurface, is null …

Twisting factors and fixed-time models in quantum field theory
We construct a class of fixed-time models in which the commutations relations of a Dirac field with a bosonic field are non-trivial and depend on the choice of a given distribution ("twisting factor"). If the twisting factor is fundamental solution of a differential operator, then applying the differential operator to the bosonic field yields a generator of the local gauge transformations of the Dirac field. Charged vectors generated by the Dirac field define states of the bosonic field which i…

Simple spines of homotopy 2-spheres are unique
A locally flatly embedded $2$-sphere in a compact $4$-manifold $X$ is called a spine if the inclusion map is a homotopy equivalence. A spine is called simple if the complement of the $2$-sphere has abelian fundamental group. We prove that if two simple spines represent the same generator of $H_2(X)$ then they are ambiently isotopic. In particular, the theorem applies to simple shake-slicing $2$-spheres in knot traces.

These tests are obtained by virtue of either mapping properties of boundary trace operators, yielding a characterization of admissibility via abstract interpolation spaces; or through Laplace--Carleson embeddings, slightly exte…

2-classifiers via dense generators and Hofmann-Streicher universe in stacks
We expand the theory of 2-classifiers, that are a 2-categorical generalization of subobject classifiers introduced by Weber. The idea is to upgrade monomorphisms to discrete opfibrations. We prove that the conditions of 2-classifier can be checked just on a dense generator. The study of what is classified by a 2-classifier is similarly reduced to a study over the objects that form a dense generator. We then apply our results to the cases of prestacks and stacks, where we can thus look just at t…

After a very windy afternoon Puget Sound Energy is now tracking 140 separate outages across the region affecting roughly 22.1K buildings.
Lab is operating on generator power and some equipment shut down when a loose UPS EBM cable resulted in running out of battery before the generator started.
So much for a nice relaxing weekend. Guess it's an excuse to do some hardware maintenance I had been putting off trying to avoid downtime.

Ik ben het hiermee eens, dus het klopt.

Does the Generator Mind its Contexts? An Analysis of Generative Model Faithfulness under Context Transfer
The present study introduces the knowledge-augmented generator, which is specifically designed to produce information that remains grounded in contextual knowledge, regardless of alterations in the context. Previous research has predominantly focused on examining hallucinations stemming from static input, such as in the domains of summarization or machine translation. However, our investigation delves into the faithfulness of generative question answering in the presence of dynamic knowledge. O…

🤖 Generator-Guided Crowd Reaction Assessment

Generator-Guided Crowd Reaction Assessment
In the realm of social media, understanding and predicting post reach is a significant challenge. This paper presents a Crowd Reaction AssessMent (CReAM) task designed to estimate if a given social media post will receive more reaction than another, a particularly essential task for digital marketers and content writers. We introduce the Crowd Reaction Estimation Dataset (CRED), consisting of pairs of tweets from The White House with comparative measures of retweet count. The proposed Generator…

Quantum Fluctuations Driving the Generation and Strong Correlations of Fission Fragment Angular Momenta
Two critical issues in the study of the fission mechanism are how the fission fragment angular momenta (FFAM) develop dynamically from equilibrium and how they are correlated with each other. To this end, we construct a time-dependent generator coordinate method that incorporates crucial quantum fluctuations -- multiple rotations, vibrations, and their couplings -- based on covariant density functional theory, providing for the first time a global, microscopic, and dynamical study on the FFAM d…

JLab spectral functions of argon in NuWro and their implications for MicroBooNE
The Short-Baseline Neutrino program in Fermilab aims to resolve the nature of the low-energy excess events observed in LSND and MiniBooNE, and analyze with unprecedented precision neutrino interactions with argon. These studies require reliable estimate of neutrino cross sections, in particular for charged current quasielastic scattering (CCQE). Here, we report updates of the NuWro Monte Carlo generator that, most notably, bring the state-of-the-art spectral functions to model the ground state …

Abstract: This project develops a pseudo-random number generator (PRNG) using the logistic map, implemented in Verilog HDL on an FPGA and processes its output through a Central Limit Theorem (CLT) function to achieve a Gaussian distribution. The system integrates additional FPGA modules for real-time interaction and visualisation, including a clock generator, UART interface, XADC, and a 7-segment display driver. These components facilitate the direct display of PRNG values on the FPGA and the transmission of data to a laptop for histogram analysis, verifying the Gaussian nature of the output. This approach demonstrates the practical application of chaotic systems for generating Gaussian-distributed pseudo-random numbers in digital hardware, highlighting the logistic map's potential in PRNG design.

MaTe3D: Mask-guided Text-based 3D-aware Portrait Editing
3D-aware portrait editing has a wide range of applications in multiple fields. However, current approaches are limited due that they can only perform mask-guided or text-based editing. Even by fusing the two procedures into a model, the editing quality and stability cannot be ensured. To address this limitation, we propose \textbf{MaTe3D}: mask-guided text-based 3D-aware portrait editing. In this framework, first, we introduce a new SDF-based 3D generator which learns local and global represent…

Density Stabilization Strategies for Nonholonomic Agents on Compact Manifolds
In this article, we consider the problem of stabilizing stochastic processes, which are constrained to a bounded Euclidean domain or a compact smooth manifold, to a given target probability density. Most existing works on modeling and control of robotic swarms that use PDE models assume that the robots' dynamics are holonomic, and hence, the associated stochastic processes have generators that are elliptic. We relax this assumption on the ellipticity of the generator of the stochastic processes…
