Just had the pleasure of listening to a Turing Award winner, and to answer a question about how to know what issues could come up. His response, "Read science fiction!" helps scientists imagine the future. I'll take his advice and
stick to my mostly fiction reading :)
Hmm, an interesting pattern is that every queen is a knight's move away. I haven't thought about this problem since I started dabbling in chess but now looks like a simple pattern.
As mentioned the paper was accepted in NDSS. https://www.ndss-symposium.org/ndss2025/accepted-papers/
The conference occurs in Feb, and typically, the conference proceedings are published a little earlier than the conference itself.
Any decent consumer SSD will be exactly the same, brands such as SK Hynix, Samsung, Crucial, WD, etc. same chips and same performance, much cheaper than the Apple tax.
Crazy to think the people who come to US universities to obtain post-bachelor degrees are more qualified than those who didn't...
This is purely anecdotal, but my experience at a top institution is that the majority of CS/ECE of MS and PhD programs are foreign students, and the H1B folks I worked with had these advanced degrees.
At this time, the idea of a constant-time operation embedded into a language’s semantics is not a thing. Similar for CPU architectures. Our computing base is about being fast and faster.
To your last point, I’d like to point out there’s an adage that goes along the lines of “the market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent…”
Yes. The crap people publish even with peer-reviews is bad enough. A few subfields in CS have bitten a couple times by relying on non peer reviewed ecosystems.
