I was wondering about the "Keilfischurkunden" mentioned in the article. Cuneiform is "Keilschrift" (wedge writing) in German, whereas "Keilfisch" would translate to a wedge fish, whatever that might be.
Appreciate the effort to keep HN in a good place, but I'm not sure the rules above apply here. While related, tropes and memes are technically distinct concepts.
Incredibly "cool"! The physical-chip-swapping version of the cold-boot attack is extremely general, but it's always been very labor intensive—that's why automation like this could be a game changer.
Here are some photos from our original experiments 15 years ago, to help you picture what's involved in doing these attacks manually:
The muon imaging idea originates with Luis Alvarez, who also flew on the mission that dropped the first atomic bomb, discovered what killed the dinosaurs, and won a Nobel Prize for contributions to particle physics. Truly the kind of mind that inspires science fiction.
Yeah. He’s has a certain kind of brilliance because dropping an atomic bomb on people would see me changing my interests. There was science and what the politicians chose for the science. But seems he was quite the active participant.
