NSA and IETF: Can an attacker purchase standardization of weakened cryptography?
NSA and IETF: Can an attacker purchase standardization of weakened cryptography?
You know I'm down with that #RISCV movement - to free the #firmware and free the #hardware. It is mui importante.
But fragmentation in the #computer world, (particularly in #opensource #desktop and #consumer standards) has the effect of making things worse.
#Standardization is key, in both #software - and #hardware.
Also, what the heck is bit switching?

@r @fluffykittycat @flower Obviously people have used the #RP2040 for many projects and given it's ease of programming, low price, excellent documentation and easy availability it's no wounder it does put pressue on #ATmega / #ATtiny, #Arduino, #Teensy, etc.
#RaspberryPi shure are more and more targeting #embedded & #industrial clients given they do in fact disrupt the market as one can get proper #documentation and #tools without paying $$$$ upfront (AND sign NDAs) just to be able to boot #Linux on it.
OFC the #Pi0 / #Pi0W / #Pi0W2 doesn't need to innovate since every competitor isn't even trying to compete but merely farting out boards with 0 documentation and some halfassed boot images and no post-sales support so they keep dominating by virtue of being the only ones that just work...

The journey to standardized metric threads began in the 19th century with Professor Marc Thury’s Thury thread, designed for Swiss watchmaking. By 1947, post-war collaboration led to the ISO metric thread standard, harmonizing global engineering practices. Today, metric threads power industries worldwide, from automotive to aerospace. Pioneers like Thury and the ISO standard show how innovation and collaboration create lasting solutions. #MetricThreads #Engineering #Standardization

È online il mio podcast con @iusondemand su "Caffè 2.0"!
Abbiamo parlato del mio nuovo libro "Intelligenza Artificiale, Privacy e Reti Neurali" - un'ora di conversazione su come l'#AI cambierà (non distruggerà) le professioni.
La mia convinzione: l'AI creerà nuove opportunità per chi sviluppa competenze ibride tra diritto e tecnologia.
