    The theorem doesn't exist in a vacuum. It talks about objects that must be formally defined. And if that formal definition (which is part of the API) is not immediately compatible …

    This author disagrees with this take. They are setting a scene here, and explicitly saying that the Block story wasn't about AI at all a few paragraphs later. If that "bait" caused…

    Seeing the server temperatures go up as this gets posted to HN is fun. I'm not sure his server agrees.

    You seem to be missing the main point, which is that this is not about your point of view, but about the rightsholder's.

    Pretty sure that's 20% of revenue, and I'm assuming that their business plan relies on skimming from settlements, not just taking donations. But they are also paying investigators …

    And don't forget that Sony and Microsoft have compilers teams, working on specialised GCC and LLVM backends, and sometimes upstreaming general improvements.

    Transparency logs like [Certificate Transparency]( https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6962 ) use permissioned chains (and other things) to distribute trust in the internet pu…

    The "keyed SHA-256" in key transparency's leaf_hash is ok in its current state, but limits future evolution (or presents a risk if that evolution is not done carefully): SHA-256 is…

    And since you apparently haven't seen, the abstract now includes the following note. > Note: Update on April 18: Step 9 of the algorithm contains a bug, which I don’t know how to f…

    Self-response: the article does consider this (section 6), argues that the exceptions to restrictions on the use of publicly available data in GDPR are exactly in places where it m…

    Yes, and surely the right to not be profiled on publicly available data is already enshrined in GDPR?

    You might want to clarify that "It" in the last sentence is Kyber/ML-KEM.

    Sorry, just saw this. Which claim do you disagree with? The claim that the trend I describe exists, or the fact that it is bad? Note that what you describe is what I advocate: you …

    You're arguing against practice in mathematics based on practice in an empirical field, though. Truth in biology is fuzzy in a way truth in most mathematical fields is not.

    Comment #39205402

    This is a lot less true in mathematics research, where a question existing and not being trivial is enough motivation to investigate. I would in fact argue that the trend, in "appl…

    You would run browsh on a power unconstrained server that you SSH to from your power-constrained device.

    I am slightly confused by this comment in the context of the thread. Because you choose to give your children freedom to operate their device however they see fit, you are in suppo…

    Linear types and handlers are even more inconsistent, given the continuations could be run more than once if not careful.
