The Body as a Password: The Cost of Face ID
Convenience is costing people their freedom. Research shows that features like Face ID and fingerprints enable violent, forced phone access by police and authorities, writes Afsaneh Rigot.

“Every participant who was detained by authorities & had biometrics enabled, said they were violently forced to unlock their phone. […]”
The research is clear: those with biometrics lost the power to resist device searches. Only using passcodes had some ability to refuse, delay, or obscure access.

exploring how to efficiently prove Poseidon hashes using GKR.
Love the shoutout to multilinear polynomial commitment schemes like Basefold for added efficiency

one more election thing this morning: because New York is large, people might lose sight of the Mamdani victory being local politics. but it is, and it points up the potential of local politics to reshape direction, to inspire broadly, to change the story

Our struggles are connected: Palestinians, migrants in LA, families in Tehran, queer folks in Cairo, or Sudanese refugees. The decentered are policed, surveilled, criminalized. Same tools. Same logic. Different uniforms. Identify the decentered, expose the system, break its power. 🔏 1/3

This is the same admin that violently fearmongers about "foreign threats" & boasts abt pouring billions into “advanced tech” for "national security." Subscribe to @micahflee.com and see how the Israeli chat app used by Trump officials was hacked within 15 mins. bsky.app/profile/jose...

Just updated a result on eprint (2024/1843), improving the query complexity of the BaseFold IOP, while maintaining small soundness error. Also relevant for improving the communication complexity of coding-based SNARKs

I have work to do but I'm distracted by watching US scientific progress & leadership being irreversibly undermined because a few unelected malcontents are penalizing researchers for following legal requirements set out by congressional orders to augment basic research with benefits to society.
