В компиляторе Nimony для будущего Nim 3.0 реализованы самокомпиляция и JavaScript-бэкенд

Андреас Румпф (Andreas Rumpf, Araq), автор языка программирования Nim, опубликовал серию отчётов о прогрессе разработки компилятора Nimony, создаваемого как основа для будущего релиза Nim 3.0. На данный момент уже доступен восьмой отчёт. Ключевое достижение последнего времени - переход к самокомпиляции: весь стек инструментов, включая фронтенд, прослойку (middle-end), оптимизатор и бэкенд, теперь может быть собран самим Nimony. Дополнительно реализованы JavaScript-бэкенд, поддержка всех четырёх актуальных режимов управления памятью и работа на платформе FreeBSD. Код проекта написан на Nim и распространяется под лицензией MIT.

AI-модель Claude воссоздала формирование seed-параметров стандартных эллиптических кривых ECDSA

Компания Anthropic объявила об успешном определении происхождения исходных seed-параметров, задающих форму эллиптических кривых ECDSA P-192, P-224, P-256, P-384 и P-521, стандартизированных Национальным институтом стандартов и технологий США (NIST). Воссозданный AI-моделью Claude алгоритм генерации seed-параметров опровергает популярную конспирологическую теорию о том, что исходные параметры для стандартизированных эллиптических кривых были специально подобраны для оставления слабых мест, компрометирующих алгоритмы цифровой подписи ECDSA.
