(Token-Level) \textbf{InfoRMIA}: Stronger Membership Inference and Memorization Assessment for LLMs
Machine learning models are known to leak sensitive information, as they inevitably memorize (parts of) their training data. More alarmingly, large language models (LLMs) are now trained on nearly all available data, which amplifies the magnitude of information leakage and raises serious privacy risks. Hence, it is more crucial than ever to quantify privacy risk before the release of LLMs. The standard method to quantify privacy is via membership inference attacks, where the state-of-the-art ap…

"Background Security Improvements": Wenig Klarheit zu Apples neuartigen Updates
Apple hat mit iOS 26.1, iPadOS 26.1 und macOS 26.1 eine neue Sicherheitsfunktion scharfgeschaltet. Das sind die Hintergründe.

EEPROM update: Followed PROG_RD_EN to the output of a massive inverter north of the row decoders. Interestingly, it's got guard rings/tap terminals around it and has large (1.2um channel length) transistors, which suggests it's working with high voltage.
But one side of the inverter is driven by ground and the other by VCORE.
The input of the inverter comes from the block immediately to its left which I'm still tracing out and don't yet understand; the input of TH…

Beyond Accessibility: How Intelligent Assistive Technologies Improve Activities of Daily Life for Visually Impaired People in South Africa
Our study explores how intelligent assistive technologies (IATs) can enable visually impaired people (VIPs) to overcome barriers to inclusion in a digital society to ultimately improve their quality of life. Drawing on the Social Model of Disability (SMD), which frames disability as a consequence of social and institutional barriers rather than individual impairments, we employ semi-structured interviews and an online qualitative survey with n=61 VIPs in South Africa. Using descriptive statisti…
