Going back to first principles on this debugging. Which is definitely not going to be done tonight.
1) The baseline configuration (MULT_AREA_OPT=0), regardless of REGFILE_OUT_REG setting, works in hardware. It gives answers that match the NaCl curve25519 implementation to every query I've tried, and is interoperable with OpenSSH (when I put the bitstream on a board, I can SSH to it).
With that in mind...
2) The original test vector in my simulation that I had thought wa…

I'm so glad Copilot-generated commit messages are an opt-out feature on GitHub. I've always wanted to start typing and then have my stuff completely obliterated by sluggish LLM slop I didn't ask for.

Guarding Your Conversations: Privacy Gatekeepers for Secure Interactions with Cloud-Based AI Models
The interactive nature of Large Language Models (LLMs), which closely track user data and context, has prompted users to share personal and private information in unprecedented ways. Even when users opt out of allowing their data to be used for training, these privacy settings offer limited protection when LLM providers operate in jurisdictions with weak privacy laws, invasive government surveillance, or poor data security practices. In such cases, the risk of sensitive information, including P…

No Encore: Unlearning as Opt-Out in Music Generation
AI music generation is rapidly emerging in the creative industries, enabling intuitive music generation from textual descriptions. However, these systems pose risks in exploitation of copyrighted creations, raising ethical and legal concerns. In this paper, we present preliminary results on the first application of machine unlearning techniques from an ongoing research to prevent inadvertent usage of creative content. Particularly, we explore existing methods in machine unlearning to a pre-trai…

Da das Trainingsmaterial uns allen gehört, bzw. den Gebührenzahlerinnen hoffe ich, die Juristen der SRG haben bei OpenAI bereits für ein Opt-Out angeklopft. Mindestens.

Starting this week in the U.S., Instagram rolled out a new map view, which you access at the top of the direct-message inbox.
The map, confusingly, combines two forms of location sharing:
First, it includes locations you have actively tagged in recent Instagram stories or posts.
Second, the app nudges you to opt in to a new form of passive location sharing
— letting friends see wherever you last opened the app,
even just to scroll through it.

Many users…

Pro tip for #aspnetcore devs: if Blazor hijacks the importmap in your plain-old server-rendered app due to MapStaticAssets, you can opt out of the tag helper on an element by using “!”.
You can also write your own tag helper to bypass this problem.

When LLM apologists tell me that models will get better[Citation Needed], what they fail to understand is that my disinterest is moral, not utilitarian.
I don’t care if we’ll see better models.
I care if we’ll see models that are trained entirely on corpuses created with informed consent*, using compute, electric, and water resources well understood and agreed upon.
* No, opt-out is not consent. Settling legal cases is not consent. Buried deep in some TOS is not consent.

In 2011, Aaron Swartz was arrested after he downloaded millions of academic journal articles from JSTOR via the MIT network. He was charged under federal laws (including wire fraud and violations of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act) with up to 13 felony counts, carrying the possibility of decades in prison, large fines, and other penalties. These federal charges eventually lead to his death in 2013.
No AI company was ever charged under federal laws.

Finally got the x25519 accelerator to build for a Trion T20 (with REGFILE_OUT_REG=1, MULT_AREA_OPT=2).
It's pretty full (12356 / 19728 LE, 112/204 RAM, 34/36 mult), but fits. Fmax in C4 speed grade is 97.8 MHz and one crypto_scalarmult takes 756703 clocks which comes out to 7.73 ms. A scalarbase() is slightly slower but I don't have that number handy right now.
I'm not sure how practically useful this config is, because the FPGA is 62% full logic wise so I can't c…

Encountering a lot of the scam where I buy something in the UK and it recognizes my US credit card and charges me in dollars instead of pounds. With a currency conversion fee, often 3% or more. I do not have the option to prevent this. Mostly this is at POS terminals in restaurants, etc.
Uber also does this but they have a clear notification, an opt-out, and a sort of reasonable 1.5% fee. Still don't want it, I have 0% fee on my credit card.
