Because they test if students understand the material well enough to apply it to nonstandard problems. A person who can solve nonstandard problems is much more valuable than a person who can just solve standard problems.
I gave up on DD-WRT years ago when they started obfuscating parts of the WebUI to not have to comply with FOSS requirements (from foggy memory), moved to OpenWRT and never looked back. Trying to turn into a proprietary product something that was built by the community? Yeah no.
It’s possible that in the specific sense that NIST defined, KYBER-512 isn’t as strong as AES-128. However, that doesn’t mean that it’s less secure in general. E.g. DJB himself wrote a good article[1] on how even though 128-bit AES and 256-bit elliptic curve crypto are thought of as same “security level”, actually there are attacks against AES that just don’t apply to ECC when you consider multi-target security models (i.e., when you consider a population of users not just one). I wouldn’t be surprised if similar things applied to lattice-based crypto, but I don’t know enough about it. And even if we take the reduced security level given by DJB, it still seems big enough to be out of reach to any realistic attack.

But by all means feel free to go one bigger and pick KYBER-768, and I believe lots of people do recommend this. Obviously, there is a performance penalty (as there is when moving from AES 128 to 256), and for PQ schemes there is also more importantly also a big increase in the size of bytes on the wire when public keys have to be exchanged (e.g. in TLS) - in this case a jump from 800 bytes to 1,184 bytes (a 48% increase). (Compare this to ECC public keys which are typically around 32-65 bytes, depending on encoding).

Gamblers have decided they like their odds. Gambling costs them money, and some ruin themselves that way.

If I don't click on ads and don't buy anything, it's like I'm rigging the slot machine never to pay out.

If everyone does that, then advertisers will catch on to the reality that the ads are not working, and pull out, and so then the advertising platform tanks.

So yes, you are "stealing" by not clicking on ads, and not obeying the ads just as much as if you just block the ads.

People who don't block ads, but take no consumer action in response to ads, are not in any ethically different position compared to those who actively block ads higher up the event chain.

Possibly in a worse one, since those ineffective ads are a waste of resources. It's like leaving the heating on in an empty house.

That's not a real answer.

But since mine is easier, I'll just lay some stuff out. Which is real? Finite ZF? ZF? ZFC? Are you calling one of these math and the others not? What distinguishes them? Are infinities real? Are they not? No matter your choice we're going to lead to a decision where math isn't simply due to our ability to have mathematical systems in either form. Similarly I can mathematically describe geometries that cannot exist in our universe or create algebras which are not in fact useful. I lay out a lot more in the other comments. But I really don't appreciate the "trust me bro" responses. They are intellectually lazy and I have no reason to actually trust you.

Amazing. If you as an educator did that sit-down at the high school level, you'd be fired or be rubber roomed.
I completely agree with you and fail to see why people think otherwise. It’s just so arbitrary and against actual learning to make a test hard to get a certain spread of scores. Depending on the material, breadth, and depth the teacher would like to assess what has been taught, the test can be challenging. The goal is to learn.
Wish there was a way to extend voice commands in the car... my own "Alexa skills" but for Tesla so to speak. Even if the only output could be a tweet sized text box.

While this is true, it also turns a task that takes only one action (resize the window up or to the left from an edge or corner) into one that requires three or four (move window, resize window from bottom right corner, readjust window position).

The claim of the paper is that you can store it losslessly! If you assume you have access to an LLM for free, then text is extremely compressible. Storing it in an embedding would be plenty of bits.
I used a series of those for iPod for the first few years, but lived in Los Angeles, so there was a ton of interference, both from radio stations and other devices broadcasting on the same frequency. It created some pretty chaotic drives from time to time...
It's so disheartening that commercial surveillance has to be eventually linked to and framed in terms of government surveillance to get many people to even possibly care. The US political machine has been extremely successful at pushing this false dichotomy of "government" xor "business" when the two actually have quite similar imperatives, mechanisms, and failings - resulting in great harm to individual liberty.
Pretty important move to assure commercial adoption. I guess money can be a moat if technology can't, with all the open source and small startup alternatives coming out with their own image generators
I think this makes some pretty strong assumptions about the purpose and effectiveness of at least some of the relevant technology.
Show HN:Lil GPT X – Q&A Your Documents with Chat GPT (My First SaaS)
My first ever SaaS (Lil GPT X) - I had a need for my consulting business so I created this as a self-service SaaS app. Healthy number of free credits and no credit card required to sign-up so take it for a spin.

Key points:

-I'm not a dev - I spent about $1800 in services to make this.
-It took about 3 months from idea inception to full release. It was usable after about 1.5 months but needed to smash some bugs.
-No subscription required - 100% consumption model.
-You can query a set of documents, not just one.
-You can query PDF/Excel/Word.

Looking for feedback and open to collaboration. I have a few ideas about where this could go but curious what others think!
There are many such markets -- real estate, construction, financial services (banking, mortgages, credit cards, etc), agriculture, retail (no, walmart is not a monopoly), oil, automotive, air travel, I can name many more.

The only big national industries that are dominated by monopolies I would say are telecommunications, utilities, silicon, pharmaceuticals, rail, and even most of these have a few more companies than two. Granted, 3 telecoms is not much of an improvement over 2, but nevertheless your claim is broadly speaking false.

Are there private equity firms trying to consolidate? Sure, but in any of the above they haven't really met with much success.
Too many have given up on naming, it seems. Apple has always been bad at it, so every listing has a bunch of qualifiers like the generation and processor included. Nintendo gave up a while ago too, with Wii>Wii U, 3DS>New Nintendo 3DS, Switch>Switch OLED Model. Of course there's Microsoft with the XBox 360>Xbox One>Xbox One S/X>Xbox Series S/X, so their bad naming touches everything. I'm not able to think of any other examples but these are huge companies with confusing name choices and I guess I don't know if there's a better option lol
>Microsoft delayed it to make sure it wasn't the next No Man's Sky or Cyberpunk.

I wish it was the next Cyberpunk. I've gone back and forth between Cyberpunk 2077 2.0 / Phantom Liberty and Starfield, and I like Cyberpunk 2077 so much better. It looks better, it has a way more captivating story, it has so much more interesting characters and it just plays much nicer.
I have no idea what you think your comment has to do with my question, but ok?
for your first few jobs, yes. i still have it on mine because some more conservative employers _still_ care about it, 15 years later.
I agree that it's not hash collision, but the fingerprinting strategy makes precise language on this topic a bit difficult/tedious.

The CSAM detection isn't proper hash collision either, in so far as I understand it. There's some fuzzy matching formula that generates the fingerprint, it's not simply a byte for byte hash taken of the image, and therein lies the comparison.

The fraud in question is reliant on content ID attempting to fuzzy match audio content, in this specific instance.

That isn't the only real problem with trying to have privacy with your car. And, realistically, this isn't new. It was common a long time ago to know that so and so was at someone's house because you saw their car there. Or you saw their car really anywhere else.

And with how traceable cars are, the idea that it has to do the data sending for you is a bit outdated. If it was ever accurate.
Another one here for the mp3car forums. Saw a build inside a VW beetle with the LCD bezel bondo'd into the center console and it looked pro.

I picked up a 8" Lilliput LCD, a mini-itx board and a picopsu, and jammed it behind the stereo area. Made the LCD bezel out of the plastic sidewall of a floppy organizer case, but spray painted textured black.

In VB6 you could use the windows media player ActiveX control to introspect your media library. So I could scroll through all my songs on the touch screen with my custom app. And running XP with NTfs meant you could shut off the power at any time with disk corruption.

> This would be fixed if C insns "always came in pairs" (at the expense of some extra C.NOP's) but they don't.

The ISA manual hints at this: with regular instructions allowed to be 16b aligned, regular & C instructions can be mixed freely. This also helps improve the code density.

Requiring C instructions to come in pairs, reduces that advantage.

So it's a kind of all-or-nothing affair.

Probably RISC-V designers ran a bunch of code simulations, and concluded that "mix regular & C instructions freely" weighed heavier than "simplify RISC-V cpu designs that support C subset".

Note that cpu design effort is a 1-time cost (when designing new cpu). Whereas adding spurious NOPs would be a recurring cost for all software using the C subset.
I am against the idea of scanning for the reason that the author pointed out: It's trivial to repurpose the technology to use it in dystopian ways.

I however have precisely zero concerns about impersonating hashes:

1. It's trivial to deal with tainting the database: both secondary hashing and more invasive hashes deal with that problem.

2. It's trivial to deal with impersonated hashes, all positives can be scanned on device in a second round with a different hash method. Those which are still positive can have be checked off device in an automated, yet privacy preserving, way such as by sending a low resolution crop with faces blurred to a system that does a likeness check against the matched CSA image: only the real image will bear likeness.

3. These systems have undisclosed minimums. A person sharing CSAM will be generating positive results at a significant rate. Receiving a few images with faked hashes won't set off alarms, and if a victim is suddenly receiving hundreds of images, that would already be obvious.

4. These articles over sensationalise what occurs when a positive match is found. They vaguely gesture to serious consequences from a single match. In reality even without secondary automated checks, the false positive will be noticed by a human and then discarded. If a person is receiving a lot of false positives that may lead to the individual being informed that they are begin targeted.

Overall the idea of scanning chat content seems ineffective, for much of the same reasons why it's ineffective to ban end-to-end encrypted chat: those with criminal intent will just use something else or roll their own.
My son got an N64 because he likes F-Zero and was looking for a CRT to go with it, I spoke to the director of our reuse center who said they send them to the hazardous waste landfill all the time but they’d hold one out for us and in a few weeks we got a cute little TV with a built-in VCR. I was hoping to get a home theatre from the late analog era but we didn’t see one so I got him a 2-channel receiver from NAD that looked like the gear I would have lusted over in the 1980s.
> It all looks well coordinated, deliberately planned and calculated.

It may look that way, but it is much more likely an emergent cultural phenomenon.
The blog post seems to say that the Harvard grads couldnt be squeezed out like a lemon with 100h weeks ("balance between hunger and burn out")...

As much as I dont like grads from top schools. Here they showed some actual smarts. You dont need to work 100 hour weeks in a sweatshop that tries to "balance you between burned out and hungry". Probably that grad has rich parents too, so they can switch jobs to a boring corporate job. They have a safety net not to be exploited with 100hour per week gruel. Come on? Is that some success story? 100 hour weeks is eithet a sweatshop or shitty work organization.

I bet that lady wanted that motived, hard working harvard grad for 15 dollars per hour and also with 50 hours of UNPAID overtime. That's jusr the typical sweatshop approach. Also they should "think big" but not too big like for example "we should pay better in our sweatshop".

I looked who she was - and seems her own partners kicked her out from that company that she was supposedly building by exploiting people.
Given the state of the Twitter API post-Elon, I'd be incredibly unlikely to rely on this unless I have a business contract directly with Tesla with appropriate penalties if my app / access were to be revoked.

I don't like Sony either so it's a bit weird to find out you're turning this into a "console war" thing. I find that mentality really embarrassing. My beef is with Microsoft essentially owning the planet.

- Microsoft dwarfs Sony as a company, so I don't know why you're painting them as an underdog with their back against the wall.

- The amount of gaming IP Microsoft owns also dwarfs Sony. The concern is not that one or the other will make things exclusive but that the options of who game developers can work for will get smaller, which makes unionization harder, which makes our games shittier.

> No we're not, we're talking about the total cost of console gaming, because that's what actually matters when you're discussing the effect on consumers.

The poster you responded to was talking about gaming prices. That's great if you can save a hundred dollars buying a cheaper console though.

> No, it's hard to imagine where you're getting that from at all.

From all the things I said, and in addition, Microsoft pretty much having it's hand in every pot in the world (Even WHO).

> They're simply trying to compete against their more successful competitor Sony.

> I don't think the attitude of "let Sony's gaming business be as big as it already is

...How big do you think Sony is? You vastly overestimate how worried Microsoft is about Sony. Activision is as big a publisher as Sony and Microsoft just bought them.
Blizzard of today, yeah, so their point still stands.

As a legal strategy, could it be these large companies with indemnification clauses want to take these cases on rather than risk smaller companies getting sued without adequate resources and therefore defining a suboptimal precedent?
Note that cloning was already possible at the filesystem/snapshot level for a while:

The tiny scrollbars with laughable contrast are in no way accessible to anyone...It's blatant how UI designers don't give a damn about the users’ needs

I’ve seen this trend going on for over a decade now, like a slow parabolic arc. Somehow the aim of developers and designers turned around 180 degrees and became less and less about pleasing the users and more and more about impressing other people in your field. (Both programming and design.)

>Yes, the database maintainers would notice, but it could take them a while to get around to it. And they're not going to be eager to remove a collision, because that would effectively "legalize" the child porn member of the image pair. There are lots of images that could be useful to suppress temporarily.

They may not know it immediately, but the actual CSAM image wouldn't actually be shared in any real numbers which removes much of the concern with "legalizing" the image. You can argue this makes this system ineffectual, but that also means this isn't repeatable since weakening the impact of this system would quickly result in Hungary losing the power to add hashes to the database.

>And if you actually succeed in suppressing the false-positive image, it may not get passed around very fast, and it won't get vastly more hits than real target images, so it will take longer for anybody to notice or care.

Who is sharing the real target image? Is Hungary now an active creator and distributor of actual CSAM in addition to manipulating the database?

>There's also a possible end game where the child porn traders start perturbing their images to collide with really common images like flags, corporate logos, iconic movie stills, and whatever else. So now you either have to ban the US flag, or let this or that actual child porn image go.

Once again, this behavior would get Hungary booted pretty quickly. Also it is important to remember these are hashes. Not all images of the US flag would trigger the system only that specific image that has a hash collision.

>I don't actually think that the false hits would ruin very many lives in most places. But it's worth noticing that the original article was talking about authoritarian regimes repurposing the system without the consent of the database maintainers. In the Orbán example, it's possible that the system might flag you for child porn, but you might actually get arrested for sedition. And that continues to happen to people until the database maintainers pull the hash.

But this isn't a closed system within that authoritarian regime. It leaves bread crumbs of this behavior out for everyone to see. If Hungary is going to arrest people on made up charges, they can do that anyway.

I just think this in a complicated and ineffectual bullet that can only be fired once because it has a fingerprint of the person who fired it. That adds up to make this type of abuse less of a worry.
