lesspassiveobse··on Multi-connectivity for real-time streaming over Wi-Fi
Unifi had this on their old access points (Multi-AP coordination outside of the spec) Now we have 802.11r fast roaming and with 802.11bn (WiFi-8) it will be basically instant, because that standard adds SMD (Seamless Roaming Domain). The APs will talk to each other and share the client connection state.

Switching the thinking from sampled coherent language tokens to raw logits not scored to correspond to any language.
lesspassiveobse··on Signing TLS handshakes inside a TPM
Well I guess AMD/Intel/Qualcomm/Infineon/Google people are at the greatest risk, with places like TSMC also in play. Infineon TPMs and smartcards in particular had so many flaws that I wonder if it already happened. Also, note that even if you don't have the keys you may still control the implementation, and potentially introduce flaws. Keep safe.

I wonder, at what point will it be cheaper to kidnap and ransom those remote attestation engineers' families for key material than to work around those schemes with technical measures. Keeping in mind that people set up bot farms with physical phones just for attestation keys, it seems like tightening it all too much will just shift the balance towards the $5 wrench approach...

RedStar OS (North Korea linux) already did this 10 years ago. Nice to see the west catching up.
