Reading this, I'm just sort of blown away by the cleverness and capacity for explaining things *way above* my understanding in a way that feels worthy of a read.
"This new ratchet enhances the Signal Protocol’s resilience against future quantum computing threats while maintaining our existing security guarantees of forward secrecy and post-compromise security." Fascinating @meredithmeredith.bsky.social!
Signal Protocol and Post-Quantum Ratchets
We are excited to announce a significant advancement in the security of the Signal Protocol: the introduction of the Sparse Post Quantum Ratchet (SPQR). This new ratchet enhances the Signal Protocol’s...

The cells of your body follow simple rules and play off one another to form a complete organism. The researcher Alexander Mordvintsev has developed “neural cellular automata,” building blocks that can self-assemble into any form. @georgemusser.com reports: www.quantamagazine.org/self-assembl...
Self-Assembly Gets Automated in Reverse of ‘Game of Life’ | Quanta Magazine
In cellular automata, simple rules create elaborate structures. Now researchers can start with the structures and reverse-engineer the rules.

RAI Institute is pushing the boundaries of robotics with their Ultra Mobile Vehicle (UMV) project. Instead of choosing between wheels or legs, UMV blends the speed and efficiency of wheeled robots with the agility and athleticism of legged ones.
