    There is a well-known paper related to a statistical zero-knowledge proof about Kolmogorov complexity, but this proof introduced is considered a perfect ZKP

    Tell HN: Perfect – not statistical – ZKP for Kolmogorov complexity

    I had this idea that enumerating all strings<=len(string) constitutes a zero-knowledge proof of Kolmogorov complexity. In enumeration, the proof is "said," but the verifier has no …

    I think I heard that 77 was factored as well

    Maybe truth here, but also Microsoft didn't lead their latest round, which isn't a great sign for their moat

    Methodology for comparison: train zstd dictionary on enwik9. Then build my dictionary as most common words in enwik9. Mine does 13% better because of the way I discovered how you c…

    This is a direct comparison to zstd with a dictionary actually

    Getting higher z-scores now. But you could always just try running the code yourself

    I used the z-score. How can you claim that the digits of pi are random, yet a random forest classifier predicted better than the distribution probability. Your claim implicitly mea…

    Better to use statistical significance tests to talk about what is "far more likely"

    It doesn't predict better than even, it predicts better than the distribution probability

    This doesn't _break_ sha256, just opens the door to breaking sha256 with machine learning

    Thanks this is a good point, I'll change proof to evidence

    I'm not predicting the number I'm predicting number%2==0. The model predicted better than the distribution probability

    Thanks for teaching me some important statistics!
