Along with @XiangZhuolun @SuperAluex and @socrates1024, we explore the use of batch amortization to bring the performance of DPSS in the asynchronous setting on par with prior work in the synchronous and partially synchronous settings

Litmus aims to deal with the ACIDRain attacks formalized by Todd Warszawski and Peter Bailis in their SIGMOD17 paper https://t.co/QSIHuSh3GQ

#SIGMOD22 paper: “Litmus: Towards A Cryptographically Verifiable Database System” https://t.co/PeEPoZ5omk

I’ll present our attempt on building a secure DBMS that provides verifiable transactional correctness and partial ACID properties.

Even when the server gets compromised, the hacker can at most mount a DoS attack, in which case the client would notice, or provide data hosting and transaction computation honestly.

How is this possible?
This JNDI lookup thing existed since the first log4j 2 release in 2014. It was even documented in Mar 2016, in the same year @pwntester 's famous BH talk was published. More than 5 years ago.

I thought it must be not exploitable until very recent, but NO!

Congrats to @rxin and @matei_zaharia on these performance results. It is impressive engineering.
My original quote in the article was supposed to be "Only old people care about official TPC results." The reporter did a good job cleaning it up.

A cute project from William Zhang, one of the high school students I have been mentoring. Since 2020, I have been a mentor in the MIT PRIMES project, which offers guided research projects to top high school students.

The Apple calendar app is a disaster. After not syncing with my gmail accounts, it also lost all my iCloud calendar items yesterday. :(

This is my other #VLDB2021 paper with @SuperAluex + @xiangyao_yu. It allows DBMS to maintain multiple WAL files to improve perf by tracking txn dependencies in logs. We implemented it in DBx1000 database system. Yu was able to saturate 8 NVMe drives. Faster than WAL w/ RAID

Check out our new work with @superaluex and Zack Newman (MIT) on authenticated dictionaries with cross-incremental proof (dis)aggregation from hidden-order groups, with application to stateless validation and transparency logging: https://t.co/iFxI08F6Zs

@veorq exactly as the challenge name indicates: not be fooled

Hey guys, I'm back on Twitter! Hooray!
