Associate professor @williamandmary. Interested in systems security, #infosec, computer microarchitecture. Opinions are mine. Be kind 🤙

[dmitry evtyushkin 🌻 @dimonoid]

Know somebody interested in #CyberSecurity #infosec #CS #PhD program with funding? How about @williamandmary? I am looking for students. Areas of interest: systems security, microarchitecture security & more. Please share and RT https://t.co/6T7hmO5zXI

For more details on the surrealism of Russian "court"'s verdict, as well as to find out how the FSB directly pressured the judge, check out @pevchikh's expose from today (in English). https://t.co/0rbRLmyIG0

Everybody knows proprietary crypto is terrible idea but why most people are ok with closed-source password managers with 0 transparency. How do you know the app isn't simply sending your master password somewhere? IMO that's not ok

I guess the next step would be to come up with paraphrasing engine that with 99% success rate removes watermark while preserving the meaning

#OpenAI is planning to stop #ChatGPT users from making social media bots and cheating on homework by "watermarking" outputs. How well could this really work? Here's just 23 words from a 1.3B parameter watermarked LLM. We detected it with 99.999999999994% confidence. Here's how 🧵

Is this what ethical AI actually is?

[dmitry evtyushkin 🌻 @dimonoid]

Programming in Rust may feel like all you do is fixing compile time errors one-by-one. It's painful. But that's the price of security I guess. Wondering if #copilot and such can make it more bearable and enjoyable by giving you right templates and fixing errors before compilation

It's really amazing what ChatGPT and other recent AI systems can do but this 👇 shows current approaches are not really scalable due to power and hardware costs. It means we urgently need innovation both in AI algorithms and hardware architectures

[Shaun @ShaunEls]

ChatGPT is costing @OpenAI an estimated $3M a day to run 🤯

[dmitry evtyushkin 🌻 @dimonoid]

Wonder what are my chances of getting banned for this 🤔

[dmitry evtyushkin 🌻 @dimonoid]

People talk about devices spying on them. You say something out loud and 5 minutes later you get a targeted ad. Apparently AI fails on me. I get same ads over and over again about products that I already own or will never buy

Two weeks to go for @WMCSCI's first Symposium for Graduate Studies! CS majors exploring grad school, or non-CS majors looking for pathways to a STEM career, this is for you! We have research talks, graduate student and faculty panels, posters, food, and swag! @STEM_at_WM (1/2)

[Huajie Shao@WM @HuajieShaoML]

The Computer Science Department at William & Mary is hosting its first Graduate Studies Symposium on Oct.22, 2022! It will introduce our Graduate Application Program and other things. If you are in the USA, you can apply for Travel Grant. For international students, attend online

This what Google assistant shows when asked for "cellular automaton". Why there is meat? Why caption says "gyro"? Interesting that it works like that only from lock screen.

[dmitry evtyushkin 🌻 @dimonoid]

Chip card terminals be like:

Do Not Remove Your Card
Still processing
pRoCEsSInG
dO nOT ReMOve YOUr cARd
hodl on ...
one more prOcESSIng to go ...

Really annoying. Seriously why all that screen changes if nothing really happens?

[dmitry evtyushkin 🌻 @dimonoid]

What happens first: google's AI gains consciousness or learns how to filter emails like this one (with virus-filled PDF of course) as spam?

[dmitry evtyushkin 🌻 @dimonoid]

Website: your password must contain digits, lower and upper case, 4 unique special characters, be 10+ long 😤. Same website: anyone who can find out city you were born in can recover your password 🙃

🎉 I'm happy to announce that I received the NSF CAREER award to study weirdness in microarchitecture and hopefully making future CPUs more secure. That's a great honor. Thank you @NSF.

If you make badges for conference please use a huge readable bold font for names to avoid awkwardness

[Beau of The Fifth Column @BeauTFC]

Love this so much.

[dmitry evtyushkin 🌻 @dimonoid]

Tomorrow at the Microarchitecture Attacks and Defenses (MAD) tutorial at
@ISCAConfOrg I'll talk about Microarchitectural Weird Machines — how we can use microarchitecture to perform/hide computations. Stop by if interested! https://t.co/yo73PP9BPy

Many russians even educated ones prefer to be in denial on what's happening in Ukraine. Of course there's a massive propaganda and censorship campaign. But finding alternative information is the matter of basic digital literacy. This is more about denial as self-coping mechanism
