What Our Own Site Sends, and Why We Can't Tell You Exactly

We tried to measure our own monthly egress with root on the machine. Three sources gave three answers, and extrapolating the most precise one produced 97% of the entire server's traffic — a figure that disproves itself.

IBM and Sarvam Pair a Governance Layer With Models Trained in India

Sovereign AI usually means a data centre in the right country. This arrangement aims at the harder half: reasoning, language and voice models trained from scratch for the languages citizens actually use, with a joint hub in Lucknow.

A Unisoc Modem Flaw Turns an Answered Video Call Into Android Kernel Access

Researchers published the second stage of an exploit chain that crosses from modem firmware into the Android kernel. There is no patch, the disclosing team says the chipmaker did not reply, and the affected silicon sits at the end of the market this region buys from.

What Shor's Algorithm Actually Breaks

Shor's method is ordinary arithmetic with one quantum step inside it. We ran the classical part exhaustively over sixteen numbers: it works for 73.8% of starting values on average, and never below 50.8%.

How Much Faster Is Quantum Search, Actually?

We ran Grover's algorithm and counted the oracle calls. Over 4,096 items it looked 50 times against a classical average of 2,048 — about 41 times better, growing as the square root, and it gets worse if you run it too long.

AI-Generated Code Security Has Not Improved in a Year

Veracode tested more than a hundred models and found a 56 per cent security pass rate, flat year on year. Coding-specialised models were no safer than general-purpose ones, scale barely helped, and only reasoning moved the number - by five points.

TrendForce Sees China's High-End AI Chip Market Going Nine-Tenths Domestic

TrendForce expects domestic chips to take close to 90 per cent of China's high-end AI market this year, leaving about a tenth to Nvidia, AMD and everyone else. The first-half results filed underneath that forecast are what make it credible.

Kioxia Takes an Optical SSD to Customer Trials, and Names the Obstacle

At the Open Compute Project summit in Taipei, Kioxia said a PCIe Gen6 optical drive is going to customer trials and that cost and reliability still block mass production. The candour is the useful part - and the real subject is distance, not storage.

How Big Are Post-Quantum Encryption Keys?

We measured two live handshakes to our own site. Hybrid post-quantum key exchange adds 1,178 bytes to the ClientHello — six times over — and the ServerHello grows by exactly ML-KEM’s published ciphertext size.

A Second AI Security Body in a Fortnight. This One Caps Membership at Fifty.

The AI Trust and Security Consortium launched on 11 August with fifty seats and incidents shared under strict confidentiality - the opposite principle to SAFE, which publishes a taxonomy anyone can use. Neither has enforcement, and the frontier labs are absent from both.
