June Andronick explains the meaning of seL4’s verification and what it does and doesn’t imply. It’s really important to understand the limits and assumptions of the proofs #seL4 #Summit

An ultrasound of the scrotum attracts a higher government rebate than an ultrasound of a breast. It's just one example of the Gender Medicare Gap, that is seeing women paying more for health services. Dr Kara Thompson shares more. womensagenda.com.au/latest/t…

Excellent ⁦@HarvardBiz⁩ piece from ⁦@cindygallop⁩ ⁦@drtcp⁩. Couldn’t agree more about the point re champions, not mentors. “Women don’t need mentors. Women need what men get all the time – someone prepared to go out on a limb for them.” hbr.org/2021/04/7-pieces-of-…

Common Ground Towers is right next door to the council housing where I grew up. And right now they need help. There have been positive cases, and they've just gone into a hard lockdown. Huge shoutout to the wonderful @addi_road for sending in food hampers straight away.
Common Ground Towers, Camperdown, has been locked down this morning. @addi_road received a call from residents & we’ve packed 100 extra hampers this morning. The first of many deliveries in coming days. All our volunteers are thinking of you all 💜 @sammostyn @annabelcrabb

We brought a hackable quadcopter with defenses built on our HACMS program to @defcon #AerospaceVillage. As program manager @raymondrichards reports, many attempts to breakthrough were made but none were successful. Formal methods FTW!

63 studies: women who assert their ideas, make direct requests, and advocate for themselves are liked less. They're also less likely to get hired—and it hasn't improved over time. It's 2021. When will we stop punishing dominant women for violating outdated gender stereotypes?

Have been spending a lot of time thinking about what it’s like being a woman in tech and sexism, and thought of this simple analogy based on an episode of my favorite TV show, Better Off Ted. (1/n)

Timothy Roscoe's keynote at #atc21 #osdi21 had both aspects --- soul searching about current state of OS research and a call to arms with actionable items.

Dry July: Lockdown edition! Please consider donating. On the upside I'm not missing events, on the downside, I'd really like a drink: dryjuly.com/users/anna-lyons…
This point, about making a non-judgmental distinction between "precise" and "approximate" software, was a really good one made by Butler Lampson at the John Lions lectures last week. I hadn't really thought of it this way before - as much as I should have ia.acs.org.au/article/2021/t…

I’m thrilled to announce that @UNSWComputing has stepped up and is funding trustworthy.systems to the end of the year. This will enable the creators of #seL4 to establish a sustainable base for continuing #security and #safety R&D

CSIRO dumps seL4 team. Cutting edge research has no space at our leading science org? What a joke.
Word is out, and unfortunately true: @CSIRO's @Data61news dismantles Trustworthy Systems (TS), the team that shook the scientific world with the first correctness proof of an OS, #seL4. TS staff to reallocate to AI projects or sacked 1/6
