> I'm not sure what security properties are really "proven" about existing cryptographic hash functions

AFAIK, we don’t even know whether trapdoor functions exist.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trapdoor_function:

“As of 2004, the best known trapdoor function (family) candidates are the RSA and Rabin families of functions”

Also note that the ‘examples’ section starts with:

“In the following two examples, we always assume it is difficult to factorize a large composite number (see Integer factorization).”
I have two somewhat related questions:

Can a submerged military submarine let divers "out",
and / or divers "in"?

Do they have air locks / water locks?

It would seem possible, enormously dependent on the depth of the submarine.
Not just from the perspective of the integrity of the giant uboat but
also the integrity of divers.

In movies (which are always "accurate") they put people into torpedo tubes.
Which I believe do feature some form of an air locks and ports to open and close.
Not sure a person would fit, or if it is physically possible given the operation of the tube.

If possible, can they enter the same way?

My second question is if you can do deep sea fishing? (while submerged)
Have fresh as can be sushi?

I figure if you can let a person in and out, that person could go
hunt fish and bring it back.

They dont have windows but from sonar does pick up some sea creatures.
You could possibly have a harpoon with a sensor on it you could extend to
catch fish.

It just seems it ought to be possible.
With a nuclear submarine, I think, one of the limits to how long you can
operate before requiring supplies is food.
I hope a nuclear submarine has a way to creating fresh water from salt water
as benefit for having a reactor.
at least.

Well, that's an entirely different, and special, case that would require different rules, of course.

That's not what causes loans to be transferred to others in the vast majority of cases.
I'd guess that not everyone has a device that runs 24/7 and is online all the time.
The community zeitgeist across the board just seems so much more argumentative, contrarian, and angry than it was years ago. Even on the niche subs. On /r/academicbiblical people get banned for spitting nasty stuff at each other in comments. The AnalogCommunity subreddit has a frequent drumbeat of negativity about new film stocks and is enraged about "shilling" if anyone who as much as includes a logo on their gear in a post - as if we, the analog film community, don't want new companies to succeed in analog film? The outrage isn't logical, it's strictly emotional, and it seems like people are drawn literally to the emotion of rage, not an emotional reaction to anything specific and tangible.

It reminds me of trying to find value in YouTube comments around 2008 and realizing there's some kind of community-wide attitude problem completely destroying any chance of it. It's not a discussion forum, it's one of those rooms where people pay $20 to smash stuff up with a sledgehammer and yell.
This is much less of a problem with open source software, although, admittedly, not completely unknown.
Images generated by these systems look nice because the models were trained on photos that had already made it through curation filters before being published or distributed. Most people toss out their garbage photos and don't share them online.

Without that, computer-generated images would be far uglier and weirder. And if the computers had to get their new material from, say, a bunch of webcam feeds, the composition of their output would be terrible.
They integrate tons of other streaming services into their UI.
In other words it's a fix for a somewhat Apple-specific (and in this case Apple-created) problem?
> Making controllers optional for activities that don't need complex inputs would have been better.

This is basically the case though. Vision isn't a walled garden toy device like Quest. It's a full blown general purpose computer with an M2 chip. Any peripheral that works with macOS/iOS will work with it. I have no doubt the third-party controller market will be robust, and I can even see Apple releasing their own for specialized applications like gaming.
> What if AI went "okay, this country has been pain in the neck of entire world for too long" and nuke it ?

I think the better question is "How would countries' behavior change if they knew being a pain in the neck of the entire world could lead to the judge-killbots performing a targeted assassination of their leadership?"
> What opportunity cost? What else are you going to spend the money on that gives you non-polluting 24/7 power output rain or shine?

The opportunity cost of dollars - nobody is going to spend $15 billion on nuclear when much better investments exist.

> We need days at a minimum, weeks for preference. 4 hours is nowhere enough.

Why in the world would you need that much storage? Obviously Finland + solar aren't 100% compatible given the latitude, but fairly extensive modeling shows a route to 99% renewable Australia with only 5 hours storage:

https://twitter.com/DavidOsmond8/status/1666297529418530816

Change the mix to favor wind resources and you could likely achieve the same in Finland with some modest investments in transmission infrastructure.

We would be in a better and cheaper world if we had built a nuclear-first grid 30 years ago -- but we didn't -- and it just doesn't make sense to try to do so now when much cheaper options exist.
I expect there'll be a difference in which layout is optimal when analysing an average python code base with names (variables, functions, etc.) in your language versus regular text in that language, but honestly this is not where typing holds me back. Very rarely do I max out on typing speed for just a few minutes when coding something greenfield. Even if we're talking comfort rather than speed, you'd probably get 99% of the way by laying out symbols differently and leaving the letters and digits untouched.

Most of the sports accounts would fall under "Retweeting press releases". I'm talking about people I followed, many of whom were historians so would often publish original analysis, pictures they'd personally combed the archives for and digitized, that sort of thing.

What if it's correct? That this does actually make the world measurably and substantially better for the vast majority of inhabitants?

> we currently price Nucleus around $35k/license, or about 10% of what it would cost you to build and maintain this yourself.

My suggestion is to price this at 20% of what it would cost a customer to run it independently. Perhaps you can make it to 10% for a limited time, but make it clear that the price will go up.

Why? Because:

1) You will need the price to go up.

2) You are positioning your product in a different (better?) way.

Note that things like Amazon RDS, etc, are at about 20-25% premium on top of the tools/softwares that they automate.

Your service is currently not as mature as RDS or others, and therefore it might be right to temporarily price it at 10%, but telling customers that it will eventually go up to 20%.
> If they put up a community bulletin board, no reasonable person would expect them to rip down anything that doesn't include Braille.

If there was a readily-available bulletin board that cost somewhat more, but that automatically displayed in Braille to the side any posted items, a reasonable person might expect that they go with the expensive Auto-Braille-Board.

And a reasonable person would very likely expect them not to go with the bulletin board that actively obfuscates the ability of people to use their own photo-to-speech devices on posted items.

Unusual cybersecurity tips that work
skip the search engine for now. offload that to site:domain.com "search" on google. focus on your niche and delegate where you can. if you can't see why I am saying this, then you need somebody to help you prioritize cause search is not it when you can delegate it to google in less than a day.
Depending on ones needs for search, a shout-out to Sourcegraph (https://sourcegraph.com/search) which in addition to offering anonymous search also supports regex searches and -- perhaps most relevant -- "go to symbol" for a huge number of cases. That alone can often save a "search" because it understands the relationships in the text

I get it. But I think there should be some limits. Otherwise they can do just about anything and walk away. Taking away children on a basis of pure speculation I think is plain and clear crime from which they should not be absolved.
"Tire" and "curb" were once the normal spellings in the UK; "kerb" is an innovation whereas "tyre" is either an innovation that is coincidentally the same as an archaic spelling, or the restoration/repopularisation of an archaic spelling. The spelling "kerb" upsets me whenever I see it because it's clearly referring to the curvature of the kerb, but fortunately I almost never see it.

Likewise, spellings like "programme" are deliberate changes to mimic the French spelling. These have been rather more successful than they have any right to be, but some have completely failed (like "gramme") and a lot of people still use the older spelling.

-ize, also, used to be the standard spelling with -ise an alternative also found in the UK. In this case, it's clear that an understanding that -ize is used in the US and -ise is used in the UK became an understanding that -ize is the US spelling and -ise is the UK spelling which raised its currency. But I think they both remain in use in the UK (-ise has more-or-less chased out -ize in Australia though).

-or spellings like "honor" and "color" were once much more common in places where they are now rarely seen and vice versa. To an extent they follow the same story as -ize/-ise, with the US standardisation of one chasing its use out in the UK. In Australia, -or was much more common (than now) when the power to distinguish oneself from was the UK, but now that the main power one needs to distinguish oneself from is the US, -our has chased it out except in the name of the Labor party (because the paperwork was filed by someone who happened to prefer the shorter spelling in a time when both were current) and some uses of "honor" that are literally etched in stone. (The last general use was until about the year 2000, by "The Age", a Melbourne newspaper which used -or as its house style, but by then it was seen to be improperly American and they switched to -our.)

Generally, spellings and spelling variations remain open and subject to gradual change in all English-writing countries.

I support any policy where the benefits outweigh the harms. How hard is that to understand? You support policies based on how closely they fit your unachievable libertarian dogma, whether or not they are destructive.

In an imaginary world where it is possible to ban Russia from using encryption without causing other harms that outweigh that benefit, I would support that. Such an imaginary world is too nonsensical to exist though, so it is useless to even consider.
I hope this means we can improve our study of lightening, it's a very exotic phenomenon. When you're first starting out studying plasma physics, you make some assumptions that make it easier to work the math, things like EM fields matter more than collisions do, it's generally low density, it's cold, it's relatively steady state. None of these things apply to lightening, an even so energetic and intense it makes antimatter[0] in our very own atmosphere. Obviously we've been able to study it, but if we can aim it we can use much more focused, higher resolution instruments.

its funny how when its "government" that does atrocities in the name of "government" and "democracy", its simply a "scandal", but if you or I stormed in and kidnapped the children of members of parliament, it would be a "viscious attack on democracy".

I wonder, at what point does a government become and enemy of the people, and defending oneself is legitimate? is it when the storm troopers comes to take your children based on false premises? if no, what is is then?

im sure a "scandalized government" will say that its "never", but really, when as criminals ever agreed that going against them is okay?
There will always be those people with the power and money able to access the unrestricted models unfortunately.

The population had clearly been a subject of opinion control from various factions: from the church to TV to internet. And we’ve seen quite strong attempts before, including various nation level propaganda machines. All of these do work to some degree. They can be life threatening. But, unless these result in a nuclear war, these are not civilization-ending events.

On the other hand, something slightly better (on a log scale) than GPT-4, can be a game changer.
I don’t disagree, but also feel that consumers also so price sensitive that they will buy whatever cheap thing appears in front of them and don’t think twice about the results.

The Internet is a great example of that where we demand everything be free and then we get upset when it’s not.
I think there's a way in which ChatGPT is paying this, by having released GPT-3.5, rather than just waiting 6 months and releasing it with GPT-4 out of the gate. In this thread everyone is making a clear distinction, but in a lot of other contexts it ends up quite confused: people don't realize how much better GPT-4 is.

I've only ever really consumed twitter secondhand like you, but I have observed that since the acquisition the quality of discussion in replies to tweets I am linked seems to have significantly dropped, and as objectively as one can opine about that kind of thing. Just angry graffiti and dumpster fire arguments about at-best-tangentially related culture war topics in reply to everything. I've made this comparison once already in this thread, but it reminds me of comments on youtube in the mid 00s.

But hey, youtube comments never improved much and that site is still highly relevant today, so hard to make a prediction based off my observed anecdote. And I've never used twitter much at all, so maybe I just hadn't noticed before.

I suggest the founders to focus ONLY on AWS, for the time being.

What's AWS market share? Analysts say 50%, and MS at 30-35%, and GCP at 10-15%. They're wrong. The target for this service is young startups, and in that segment, AWS is still at ~90% market share.

Ignore GCP and Azure for now. Focus on AWS.

Disclaimer: I was at AWS 2008-2014, and met with thousands of startups (I am not exaggerating). Since then I kept tabs on the market. I might be wrong, but I suspect I wouldn't be by much.
> I've tested this "psychological profile" process a few times, essentially exploring how these tools might be used in potentially bad ways by leveraging its ability to form very decent profiles based on very sparse data.

I can't replicate your results and can only assume that it's only accurate if the respondent is totally honest. Most people aren't.

I tried your prompt with a blob of data gleaned from conversations with a known pathological liar and it created an absolutely absurd profile that couldn't be more false. It failed to pick up on obvious impossibilities like the subject claiming to be afflicted with literally every single disability-qualifying condition possible, and interpreted offhand statements like "i'm a unicorn" as testament to the subject's identity ("suggests a possible desire to distance themself from societal norms and expectations, indicating a sense of detachment or alienation"). For a psychological profile, it failed to suggest none of this is plausible and the subject might have Munchausen syndrome-- or just be a total fucking fraud.

I'm still looking for a way to leverage GPT as a means of saving time in divining truth from bullshit testimony (sounds like you are too), but it was amusing to find GPT made the same observations that the subject's therapists shared because all parties assumed the subject was being truthful at all times. You seem to be noticing the same thing I am-- a tool engineered to forge any document is coy about the subjects of fraud and manipulation. It's easier to get painstakingly-detailed abortion erotica out of this system than any sort of direct assessment of a subject's integrity.
