- USENIX Security kicking off in Seattle! #usesec25
- 🛬 I'm at USENIX Security in Seattle this week, where on Friday at 2pm my former postdoc Tristan Benoit will be presenting our paper "BLens: Contrastive Captioning of Binary Functions using Ensemble Embedding," joint work with Yunru Wang and Moritz Dannehl from my group. Here's the gist:
- Day 1 of #ACNS at Munich Urban Colab is underway!

We were told we'd need only like 5 universities to produce "the best" content, the rest could shut down and everyone could learn from MOOCs instead. Which showed exactly how much they understood about education, learning, humans, and other things not measured in bits.

- Learned about Futexes while teaching operating systems this year, so it‘s cool to see this work, and of course to see model checking going strong!
- Reposted by Johannes KinderI recently saw an amazing Navajo rug at the National Gallery of Art. It looks abstract at first, but it is a detailed representation of the Intel Pentium processor. Called "Replica of a Chip", it was created in 1994 by Marilou Schultz, a Navajo/Diné weaver and math teacher. 1/n
