The search engine has recently gained the ability to index the PDF file format. The change will deploy over a few months. Extracting text information from PDFs is a significantly bigger challenge than it might seem. The crux of the problem is that the file format isn’t a text format at all, but a graphical format. It doesn’t have text in the way you might think of it, but more of a mapping of glyphs to coordinates on “paper”. These glyphs may be rotated, overlap, and appear out of order, with

I noticed that handling the None variant of Option without falling back on unwrap() is a common papercut in Rust. More specifically, the problem arises when you want to return early from a function that returns a Result if you encounter None . It has been discussed a million times already, but, surprisingly, not even the Rust book mentions my favorite approach to handling that, and many forum posts are outdated. With a bit of practice, robust handling of None can become as easy as unwrap() , b

Branch Privilege Injection (CVE-2024-45332) brings back the full might of branch target injection attacks (Spectre-BTI) on Intel. Intel’s hardware mitigations against these types of attacks have held their ground for almost 6 years. In our work, we demonstrate how these mitigations can be broken due to a race condition in Intel CPUs. Our Branch Privilege injection attack is made possible by the following two main insights: Branch predictors on Intel processors are updated asynchronously to the
