Introducing constant-time support for LLVM to protect cryptographic code
Trail of Bits developed constant-time coding support for LLVM that prevents compilers from breaking cryptographic implementations vulnerable to timing attacks, introducing the __builtin_ct_select family of intrinsics that preserve constant-time properties throughout compilation.

Irony at z=6.68: a bright AGN with forbidden Fe emission and multi-component Balmer absorption
We present the deepest medium-resolution JWST/NIRSpec spectroscopy to date of a bright Little Red Dot (LRD) AGN, Irony at z=6.68. The data reveal broad Balmer emission from H$α$-H$δ$ and Balmer absorption in H$α$-H$ε$. The absorption lines are kinematically split: H$α$ is blueshifted while higher-order lines are redshifted suggesting complex gas kinematics; their relative ratios are inconsistent with a single, passive absorbing screen. The line depths require absorption of both the BLR and…

MultiModal Action Conditioned Video Generation
Current video models fail as world model as they lack fine-graiend control. General-purpose household robots require real-time fine motor control to handle delicate tasks and urgent situations. In this work, we introduce fine-grained multimodal actions to capture such precise control. We consider senses of proprioception, kinesthesia, force haptics, and muscle activation. Such multimodal senses naturally enables fine-grained interactions that are difficult to simulate with text-conditioned gene…

Constant-time support lands in LLVM: Protecting cryptographic code at the compiler level
Trail of Bits developed constant-time coding support for LLVM 21 that prevents compilers from breaking cryptographic implementations vulnerable to timing attacks, introducing the __builtin_ct_select family of intrinsics that preserve constant-time properties throughout compilation.

Heineman's cancer fundraiser is now collecting for her funeral.

Still awaiting A Poison Tree. These decade-plus-long development cycles irk me greatly. 🤨
