I've been 9 years at Google. As my promotion was just denied for "lack of leadership", I'm still ranked the same entry level (4) as when I started.

I contributed to Shattered (Crypto Pwnie 2017), Key commitment attacks (https://eprint.iacr.org/2020/1456) and Magika, the new AI file identifier.

Interviewing people for L4 gets quite weird: in comparison, I started malware analysis at Symantec in 2005 among other things...

If you find yourself creating a new file format, please, oh, please do not allow junk before your magic (you do have a magic, right?!), within cavities or at the end of files. 🙏

@tallison I'm in this toot, and I don't like it.

The presence of multiple images inside a #TIFF file can have unexpected consequences for digital preservation workflows. So how can we identify such files?

Some thoughts and suggestions in my latest blog post on multi-image TIFFs, subfiles and image file directories:

As always, feedback, suggestions and corrections are welcome!#wtfTIFF

Picture of the CDC 405 punched card reader. This sucker (literally) could do 2000 cards/minute. 2 THOUSAN*D!! Vibrating bed, suction action, a joy to behold. On my first computer, the CDC 3100, as well as many high end systems like the 6600. #ComputerHistory

"Is gzip an LLM?!"

No. Gzip would never destroy the infosphere with wordsoup nor the earth with the heat of a billion GPUs.

But seriously, do check out @vicki 's excellent post: https://jawns.club/@vicki/111779084812771450

So jealous!

Does anyone know how many compression filters I offer?

Has anyone paused to realize that I, too, can also destroy the earth with the processing needed to turn my hamburger back into the cow?!

A (delayed) new question on #DigiPres Q&A: "What is a good tool for normalizing image file formats?" https://qanda.digipres.org/1292/what-is-a-good-tool-for-normalizing-image-file-formats

Totally digging those Type 1 fonts, too! 😍 🤣

TTF fonts spaghetti:

• the number of elements in the glyf table is set in the maxp table.
• the relative offsets of the elements in the glyf table are given by the loca table.
• the format of the loca table is specified in the head table.

a Loca table where offsets are stored on 32 bits, with an IndexToLocFormat set in the head table as 1.
