Don't let your proprietary code and IP leak to the cloud. Use on-prem air-gapped code audits. - AlphaPixel Software Development A few days ago the mathematician Tristan Buckmaster, of NYU's Courant Institute, published a statement about a result he and Levent Alpöge had spent roughly a year chasing: finite-time blowup for several equations in fluid dynamics, the kind of problem that sits next to a Clay Millennium Prize. Thr...

What is known about how Eric Lu factored the 862-bit RSA-260 after 35 years | lilting channel 862-bit RSA-260 fell on September 3, 2026 after 35 years. I verified the posted factor in Python on an M4 Mac mini, traced the viral 'seven months by hand' story to a joke, and sized the compute from RSA-250's 2,700 core-years with the GNFS formula.

I missed the ACM digital library going open access when I was horribly sick this past January.

A Message From the ACM President Regarding the Open Access Transition Over the past few weeks, I’ve heard from many ACM members and others in the computing community about recent changes to the ACM Digital Library. I appreciate the engagement and care people bring to these discussions, which reflects how central the Digital Library is in our professional lives and r...
