[Links of the Day] 08/08/2017 : Python image drawing & animations, Breaking x86 ISA, Correlation between NYT and Stock markets

  • pywonderland : A collection of python scripts for drawing beautiful figures or animating interesting algorithms in mathematics.
  • Breaking the x86 ISA : Back hat conf presentation on the sand sifter tool for detecting hardware bug or undocumented instruction in modern processors. Sadly, it's known that Intel's microcode binaries are encrypted, and are secured with a RSA2048-SHA256 signature. Which makes any discovery a little bit useless. Unless it's a bug and then it opens up a whole new world of possibility. [Slides] [Github]
  • Correlations and Flow of Information between The New York Times and Stock Markets : Well as everybody knows, there is a correlation between information and the market state. Nothing new, but it confirms to some extent that the new york time especially has a specific influence on wall street ( and vice versa).
