I’ve been sitting with this for years, trying to figure out whether the damage is mine, and I keep arriving somewhere I don’t want to be: I can feel it happening. Observable. Specific. Who laughs and when. Who shifts their body toward whom. Who straightens slightly when someone more desirable enters the room... I Corrupted 5G Data Without Touching the Key2026-02-28T14:54:00+00:00 2026-02-28T14:54:00+00:00 https://tamim1089.github.io/posts/wifi/ Abdulrahman Tamim It was 1 AM on a Tuesday and I had a wireless security project due in three weeks. I opened the 5G standard specification on my second monitor, the one with the dead pixel in the corner, and started scrolling. The plan was to skim enough to sound credible, find a diagram to copy, write something about AES being unbreakable, and call it done. Graduate school has a way of turning ambitious ideas ... Causal Computational Asymmetry - train two networks, the faster one is the cause2026-02-25T14:54:00+00:00 2026-02-25T14:54:00+00:00 https://tamim1089.github.io/posts/m1/ Abdulrahman Tamim Assume two variables are correlated. which one causes the other? if you can run a controlled experiment, you answer that by forcing one variable to change and watching the other. but most of the time in science, medicine, economics, and policy you can't do that. you have observational data, things that already happened, and the question of which variable drove which sits unresolved no matter ho... AI is Dead, and We Have Killed It2026-02-19T14:54:00+00:00 2026-02-19T14:54:00+00:00 https://tamim1089.github.io/posts/ai1/ Abdulrahman Tamim Before you close this tab, hear me out. This is not a claim that AI does not work. GPT-4 exists. AlphaFold cracked the protein folding problem that stumped biologists for fifty years. Machine translation works. Nobody serious disputes those things. This is about what we destroyed to get there. Between 2012 and 2024, AI research went from exploring six or seven competing ideas to optimizing exa... Secure Dev Part 1 - Memory Safety in C2026-01-27T14:54:00+00:00 2026-01-27T14:54:00+00:00 https://tamim1089.github.io/posts/c1/ Abdulrahman Tamim this series is about writing code that doesn’t get you or your company into a CVE report. not “sanitize your inputs lol.” but real life bugs and the exact tools that catch them. part 1 is memory safety in C. part 2 will be privilege separation. part 3 input validation. by the end you should be able to sit in a security audit, read every finding, and know exactly what went wrong at the assembly ...
