Learning Stability Certificate for Robotics in Real-World Environments
Stability certificates play a critical role in ensuring the safety and reliability of robotic systems. However, deriving these certificates for complex, unknown systems has traditionally required explicit knowledge of system dynamics, often making it a daunting task. This work introduces a novel framework that learns a Lyapunov function directly from trajectory data, enabling the certification of stability for autonomous systems without needing detailed system models. By parameterizing the Lyap…

PSA: Use the "accounturi" feature of Let's Encrypt CAA!
If you're hosting a safety/security-critical service, there's a way too unknown feature called "accounturi", that allows you to restrict TLS certificate issuance to a single Let's Encrypt account (and account private key).
You simply create a CAA record on your domain and put your LE account ID into it.
This means that attackers cannot issue TLS certificates and pull man-in-the-middle…

Certificate Authority Authorization (CAA)
CAA is a type of DNS record that allows site owners to specify which Certificate Authorities (CAs) are allowed to issue certificates containing their domain names. It was first standardized in 2013, and the version we use today was standardized in 2019 by RFC 8659 and RFC 8657. By default, every public CA is allowed to issue certificates for any domain name in the public DNS, provided they validate control of that domain name. That means that if there’s a bug in any one of the many public CAs…

How to survive Instagram's algorithm as a creative
- "Instagram is wrecking my head. I have a fairly decent number of followers. But hardly anyone sees my work"
- "I have a completely organic audience, yet my posts don't reach most of my followers"
- "Instagram hides your posts unless you post a selfie or anything personal"
- "You have something new? Post it, leave and focus on more important things."
- "Do o…

Been looking at portfolios and CVs and Websites for people who applied for a "Creative Technologist" position.
And it's kinda disheartening to see that almost all pages and projects look very much the same.
The way that "we just focus on one dominant technology/narrative and visual language" limits people's development and horizon is depressing.

TIL about the Octobass as a result of my random YouTube-live-music feed stumbling into a performance of Gounod’s “Messe Solonelle” which is pretty good and, well, has an octobass in the orchestra.
