    Looking over Journal of Cryptology, they appear to be a theory journal. So an attack on an implementation, based on hardware probably doesn't interest them as much.

    In 2012 Mochizuki claimed to have proved the abc conjecture by developing a new branch of mathematics. He was a respected mathematician, but the theories he had developed were so c…

    Investigation isn’t finished, but it was almost certainly the US. If it was Iran Trump or Hegeseth would not have been able to contain themselves.

    And Python is four years older than Java.

    I feel like this argument would make a lot more sense if LLMs had anywhere near the same level of determinism as a compiler.

    You do realize peer reviewers are also unpaid.

    The gpt4 model was able to draw a unicorn and given a program that drew a unicorn, modify it so the unicorn was rotated 90 degrees. https://arxiv.org/abs/2303.12712

    Taxis have basically no recourse if you just ditch. Waymo has a video of you, your full name, your billing address and your credit card on file.

    The page you linked on gulf war syndrome talks about how it's a real condition and not psychosomatic.

    Quantum computers are still not useful, fwiw.

    I don't think this is correct. Meta and Google don't sell direct access to your data. They sell advertising targeting you, based on your personal data. I'm pretty sure it's illegal…

    Stock grants are typically vested quarterly, sometimes after an initial waiting period of 1-2 years. RSUs are just cash, I don’t see how they would not be considered being paid. Th…

    So they planted this with a Korean lab a few years ago?

    Very different than the six years it took before the mathematics community found a flaw in Mochizuki‘a abc conjecture proof.

    It's not the first evidence of treatment and preventing isn't the same as treating, because it does nothing for people who have the disease.

    Triple therapy is a treatment that proceeds it. Metformin isn’t a treatment, it’s a prophylactic.

    You’re not paying attention if you think this is the first evidence of long covid. There’s been significant strides towards understanding long covid in terms of microclots and vira…

    Long covid is very real and is not anxiety. There have been studies linking post covid fatigue and conditions to viral persistence and micro clotting. This type of post covid is ju…

    It’s interesting that we view the fact that it makes mistakes as evidence it’s not intelligent. By this metric then, humans are also not intelligent.

    NPR continuing to publish programming critical of Trump during the Trump presidency, is a pretty strong indication they have editorial independence.

    Did anyone commenting read the article? The author was a meditation teacher who had been meditating for over 10 years, when he had this experience.

    I wonder by what metric this is true. For instance, I’m sure the fatality per flight of manned space flight is an order of magnitude worse than commercial air flight in the US.
