There’s also a big difference between published specifications and threat models for the encryption which professionals can investigate in the code delivered to users, versus no published security information at all with pure reverse engineering as the only option
Apple at least has public specifications. Experts can dig into it and compare against the specs, which is far easier than digging into that kind of code blindly. The spec describes what it does when and why, so you don’t have to figure that out through reverse engineering, instead you can focus on looking for discrepancies
Proper open source with deterministic builds would be even better, but we aren’t getting that out of Apple. Specs is the next best thing.
BTW, plugging our cryptography community: !crypto@infosec.pub
Looks like the same dev from reddit

It’s sliced along the center, rotating the axis of slice 360 degrees as it goes along the circle, cutting it in two halves which interlock
Ah yes, the classical “only their actions matters” response that all racists use
Don’t worry, they’re still abusing minorities in their own territory
… But not for Uyghurs
Nuremberg trials. Start talking about it. It will need to happen.
He wanted to be a war lord but all he’s got is a dull edge
The firing is illegal so they don’t have authority to do that
Yup, don’t be sole owner if you can’t afford a lawyer to make sure you get a good deal
And you can have a union even in a co-op (would mostly help if the majority / appointed leaders make decisions that break some rules, think enforcing safety rules and such)
You could also Steve Jobs yourself with a treatable but deadly disease
Your workaround is precisely why I said “more practical”. Any updates to your tooling might break it because it’s not an expected usecase
Given the perfect grid pattern and a certain kind of coherence this kind of ML doesn’t usually preserve it’s much more likely somebody cut and paste the individual images into an ML based image generator to repaint them with English text
Stupid? Yes. They could have just taken the text alone into an LLM, or better yet regular translation program. But since when was the kind of people who blindly rely on ML smart?
You don’t want FIDO2 security tokens for that, use an OpenPGP applet (works with some Yubikeys and with many programmable smartcards). Much more practical for authenticating a server.
BTW we have a lot of cryptography experts in www.reddit.com/r/crypto (yes I know, I’m trying to get the community moved, I’ve been moderating it for a decade and it’s a slow process)
Could very well be ML repainting, “draw this image with English text”
It’s probably in-place translation using AI for a French book
But Trump IS worse
The prior Trump admin’s peace deal proposal was giving Israel total control over all of Palestine (full responsibility for physical security), and give them free land in the west bank, with no rights guaranteed to Palestinians
Wireguard is most reliable in terms of security. For censorship resistance, it’s all about tunneling it in a way that looks indistinguishable from normal traffic
Domain or IP doesn’t make much of a difference. If somebody can block one they can block the other. The trick is not getting flagged. Domain does make it easier to administer though with stuff like dyndns, but then you also need to make sure eSNI is available (especially if it’s on hosting) and that you’re using encrypted DNS lookups
