#China has officially unveiled its new 5th-generation stealth fighter, the J-35A, at the Zhuhai Air Show

Images show a comparison with the US F-35.

The J-35A is a customized copy of the F-35. China hacked a British defence company and stole the F-35 blueprints a number of years ago. This is the result of that.

We've just released our 2024-Q3 edition of ThinkstScapes: https://thinkst.com/ts

For this issue, we went through ~5000 info-sec research talks, papers, presentations & blogs.

The website includes PDF & ePub links (and a brief audio summary).

Amazon has confirmed a data breach impacting employee data.

The confirmation comes after a hacker claimed to leak data from a bunch of major organizations, including Amazon, which they say is linked to last year's MOVEit mass-hacks

SBFT'25 Fuzzing Competition

"Unlike previous years, we will favour fuzzers which are better at discovering novel edges and will accept existing fuzzers as submissions"

Happy to announce the SBFT'25 fuzzing competition! Unlike previous years, we will favour fuzzers which are better at discovering novel edges and will accept existing fuzzers as submissions, so there is no excuse to not join in :^)

I no like e-waste, I no like LLM, but the numbers in the DW article do not look right. As per WHO, 62 million tons of waste were created in 2022; so cumulative 5 million tons by 2030 could not mean "around 1,000 times more e-waste than was produced in 2023".

Interestingly, the paper argues we need to "prolong, reuse, and recycle generative AI hardware", and I think we probably should not have manufactured it in the first place.

@codecolorist I'd need kurwa wodka for that stuff...

@codecolorist Let me recommend some excellent learning material (as a Hungarian I consider myself qualified in this topic):

IBM's EGA graphics (Enhanced Graphics Adapter) celebrates it's 40th anniversary this year, so here's some classic EGA games:
