    The government won't limit you - they can't really know what you use those proofs for anyways, that's the zero knowledge part, and supposedly they'll be necessary for social media …

    Each individual proof is zero knowledge, but downloading a _bunch_ of them is an indicator, yes. There's no real way to work around this with the current ZKP scheme. I'd argue ZKP …

    Qualification is time-constrained. You are qualified for two to three years. So by 2030, all qualified products will be PQC-free.

    In theory, ld.so could provide a stable interface to its dynamic loading capabilities independently of glibc. Then glibc would not have to be updated in concert with ld.so. There's…

    How is that more valuable? It comes with two big pitfalls: - It would still not allow downgrades to work properly - It would cause glibc/ld.so to have a harder time adding new feat…

    Not with NixOS. ld.so is tied to a version of glibc, in ways that can be subtly incompatible. And nixos can have multiple glibc version installed on a single machine. Besides, it a…

    There’s a lot of ways you can hold an engine wrong. Some 3rd party browser (often by security vendors…) have been vulnerable to exploits due to not compiling it with all the harden…

    The goal is to give time for automated scanners ran by cybersecurity companies to flag malware before it gets installed on real users.

    With that logic, C is nothing without assembly.

    Monaspace has a feature called "texture healing" that does something similar: it allows bigger letters to "steal" space from adjascent smaller letters, to make it easier to read. T…

    You say this as if ad revenue is the only possible way we could have done AI research - which is an _extremely_ weird take given the history of academia and R&D. Today adtech compa…

    An attack against what? The sanctity of "their IP" that is itself the result of a massive copyright violation campaign?

    SKG cares about games staying playable. If a game with both MP and SP modes has MP disabled, SKG’s proposals do not fall under it, because the game is still playable offline. They …

    PEAK uses P2P networking as far as I can tell. AmongUs has multiple mods that allows P2P gaming[0]. Most indie games don't rely on servers for the gameplay loop because those are e…

    What about the directive would be unimplementable? Please give specifics here. SKG has repeatedly hammered this point: They only pursue this for _new_ games, only care about non-li…
