Are paper rejections really that bad? My papers get read by ~3 people on average. Each rejection means a resubmission, which means 3 more readers. After 4 rejections, that's double-digit readership.

Systems Meetup at TU Dresden, Feb. 24th I'm very happy to invite you to the first Systems Meetup of 2026! - Lightning talks, tech talks, pizza, and drinks - Link to register will follow shortly - Nöthnitzer Straße 46, 18:00 - 22:00 - Hosted by Prof. Schirmeier

I received an email today titled "OSDI '26 Preliminary Call for Papers". Looks like OSDI is adding an Operational Systems track and aiming for a higher acceptance rate (usenix.org/conference/osdi26…). I hope this will also help expand the scope and include more papers.

I can never understand how people don’t get how silly it is when they say things like “My grandparents survived childhood measles so it’s not a big deal” Well, no shit - if your grandparents didn’t survive measles, you wouldn’t exist Every person existing has a full set of grandparents who survived childhood No one exists who has a grandparent who didn’t survive childhood! It’s survivor bias and why pop data is more important than anecdotes

Today's meetup starts at 18:00 at APB/E023! We'll have Pizza and Drinks! Already over 30 people have expressed that they join us. See you soon!

The next meetup takes place on Jan. 21st, 2025 at APB, TU Dresden, hosted by Prof. Dr. Horst Schirmeier - @multibitflip. Sorry that it took so long since the last meetup! Very excited to see you all again! More info: ukvly.org/

Also @phoenix_de einzustellen, um Geld zu sparen, ist nun wirklich maximal die bekloppteste Idee. Phoenix macht das, was man vom ÖR erwartet und kostet lächerlich wenig. #Rundfunkbeitrag

Intel HW is too complex to be absolutely secure! After years of research we finally extracted Intel SGX Fuse Key0, AKA Root Provisioning Key. Together with FK1 or Root Sealing Key (also compromised), it represents Root of Trust for SGX. Here's the key from a genuine Intel CPU😀
