It's not a pretty system sometimes.

Edited to add: Conference's also require declaring that there was someone who sub-reviewed the paper. The professor / PI mentions the PhD student's name in the review form of the paper. Of course, the professor also double-checks all the sub-reviews

Which is interesting.

With my mnemonic, I say low *number = blur

I should have been more specific

I'm interested to see how the roll turns out - gave it for development the other day, had a good laugh with the employees though.

I now have a mnemonic for it: Blor - a (somewhat) portmanteau of Blur and low. So low aperture = blur.

Edit for clarification: I mean low number (2 vs 32) = blur

From the last sentence - it's a chance to see it mid-restoration. But will it be publicly accessible after 18 months?

Why not tvc-hub :P

Jokes aside, great write up!

> violating the 24h promise on their own page

Their page reports: Vulnerability reports will always be responded to as fast as possible - usually within 24 hours.

That's not a promise. I agree regarding the sentiment: "Discord moved to a private, invite-only bounty"... and "refuse to hand over my ID".

Is that lota or Iota? Is that iodestone or lodestone? Both real examples where I fumbled reading them -- once in front of a class :)

This is why my favorite sans-serif typeface has been (and will always be) IBM Plex Sans [1]. It's an open font [2]. I have all my laptops and desktops set to using the IBM Plex typefaces, including browser overrides. If only there were a way to do it system-wide on my Android phone...

At least arxiv could have run the cleaner [1] before the print of this pre-print (lol). If there was no disclosure, then I think this pre-print becomes unethical to put up.

> leading to the identification of nearly 1,200 images containing sensitive metadata. The types of data represented vary significantly. While device information (e.g., the camera used) or software details (such as the exact version of Photoshop) may already raise concerns, in over 600 cases the metadata contained GPS coordinates, potentially revealing the precise location where a photo was taken. In some instances, this could expose a researcher’s home address (when tied to a profile picture) or the location of research facilities (when images capture experimental equipment)

Oof, that's not too great.

> This code is more complicated than what I expected to see. I was thinking it would just be a simple register read. Instead, it has to write a 1 to the register, and then delay for a while, and then read back the same register. There was also a very noticeable FIXME in the comment for the function, which definitely raised a red flag in my mind.

Regardless, this was a very nice read and I'm glad they got down to the issue and the problem fixed.

Fascinating. I wonder what that program is, and why it depends on the NUL character.

I didn't know this statistic before - this is disheartening.
