    "JBIG2 doesn't have scripting capabilities, but when combined with a vulnerability, it does have the ability to emulate circuits of arbitrary logic gates operating on arbitrary memory." Weird machine in the wild

    Today we're publishing a detailed technical writeup of FORCEDENTRY, the zero-click iMessage exploit linked by Citizen Lab to the exploitation of journalists, activists and dissidents around the world.

    Bob put all of his game theory lecture notes online: Thanks for the heads up. He had been planning on writing a textbook. These notes are *excellent* and he was so good at explaining things simply and intuitively. He was also working on

    This is good advice for strategy too. Nice force structure there... But what is the purpose?

    Bob Powell was an amazing mentor The main thing I learned from him was to always focus first on the question, then on the model Early in grad school, I would tell him about the setup of some game He would always refocus me: what’s the important question? 1/5

    What I really like about this article is that Powell recognized that the theory of mutual deterrence he did so much to formalize did not really explain history: nuclear nations kept on fighting. Rather than be dogmatic, he tried to rebuild the theory.

    Both Bob Jervis and Bob Powell were at this conference, both brilliant. Jervis is in the second row behind Michael Nacht and next to Josh Rovner. Powell is next to window between Barry Posen and Neil Narang. Lots of other friends here, too. Great memories of great conversations.

    It has been a devastating week for the IR field. I only met Bob Powell a few times, and he was kind enough to agree to be on a few panels about deterrence. He was brilliant and soft spoken, intellectually intimidating yet humble. I'm very sad to hear this news.

    Today we unfortunately mourn the loss of another giant in the field of international relations: Bob Powell. Bob was an exceptionally clear thinker who always sought to think rigorously about the logic underlying key ideas and claims in our field.

    This is one of my favorite IR books of all time. It's one that resonates with people outside the field, while somewhat neglected within it. We're just beginning to grapple with complexity. As usual, Bob was way ahead of the curve here.

    I'm grateful I got to know Bob Jervis. He inspired me to stay in the field, and he encouraged me to finish my book. He was always brilliant, relevant, and relentlessly curious. But most of all he was funny, generous, and kind.

    The uncomfortable flip side of the border crisis in Ukraine: when years of quiet conflict in the "gray zone" fail to deliver (🇷🇺 proxy war in 🇺🇦, or 🇺🇸🇮🇱 covert ops in 🇮🇷), then open signals of military escalation become more attractive, and dangerous.
