Today, we could announce it. Quantum computing (QC) has become a reality. We broke the RSA -2048 key. Ron Rivest is a dear friend, but that was needed to advance.

The QC version used here has simultaneous multiple-states logic (following 'all states at once'), with more than a googol of possible states.

We show that the equivalence of QC techniques (with IBM, Google and others compared with our version of QC) has been hidden for about 2,500 years – since Pythagoras.

All our QC computations were done in a commercial cellphone, or a commercial Linux desktop, as our QC devices -- opening the user market to many industries. No cryogenics or special materials were used.

A post-quantum, HIPAA compliant, end-to-end, patent-free, export-free, secure online solution, is being created, based on ZSentry as used from 2004 to 2014, to replace RSA. One needs a quantum-resistant algorithm, because all existing public-key encryption can be broken.

The U.S. NIST needs to deprecate RSA today! Otherwise, SNDL continues.
Whoa — that's amazing!
I'm sure there's plenty of art and artists who are very aware of themselves being used as tools in a status game.

That’s a lot of assumptions that don’t look correct. I don’t think you are right about the comparison, nuclear comes out ahead in most locales.
I worked in a startup in commercial real estate during WeWorks glory days. It was interesting to talk privatetly to veterans in the industry.

They pretty much sounded like "this doesnt make any sense. I don't understand how it is possible. It shouldnt be possible. But they are doing it so they must be doing something right and we need to follow in order to not be left behind"

So i guess they saw that something didnt make sense but then they got fooled by the old "everyone else celebrates them and everyone else cant be wrong"
> Points 3, 4, & 5 apply similarly to any investments made in commodities (gold, silver, copper).

https://bsalert.com/fallacies/tu_quoque.html

> Again, as stated above, the gold itself doesn't have inherent value

That's absolutely hilarious to read right below the paragraph which describes their inherent value.
It’s sad because they’re all just systems. People in a particular circumstance behave in a statistically predictable way given a system of incentives. If a behavior is unexpected, you’ve encountered a bug in your mental model and you should just chase it down like any software bug. Making a change to the system requires the same set of programming and analytical skills of navigating any complex code base.

There’s a reason why nerds who grokked this became masters of the universe for a few solid decades.

I'd built a bot to use ChatGPT from Telegram (this was before the ChatGPT API), and currently building a tool to help make writing easier (https://www.penpersona.com). This is the API.

Apart from that, it's pretty much replaced 80% of my search engine usage, I can ask it to collate reviews for a product from reddit and other sites, get the critical reception of a book, etc. You don't have to go and read long posts and articles, have GPT do it for you. There's many other use cases like this. For the second part, I'm using a UI called Typing Mind (which also works with the API).
tbh though, I don't believe a word of it.

I bet it will turn out that the 'RSA' modulus has some special form making it amenable to QC.
> The NYT relayed Hamas propaganda without a second thought. How is it baseless?

The root cause of that fubar in the heat of reporting is well documented - western media sources echoed each other when one first used an english mistranslation of an arabic tweet - an estimate of 500 injured was rapidly "reported" in english media as 500 confirmed dead.

That's typical of the shitty social media driven infotainment bend that's come to be called "journalism" but really isn't.

Sadly the first wave of "in first before ..." is what everybody remembers.
homomorphic encryption should solve the problem of field encryption. But not now.
Note: the choice of the different solutions should be aligned with the sensitivity of the data, such as: Field Encryption for Highly sensitive (among others, bank data, health data etc), while the DB is, off course, only encrypted at rest.
In a technical environment, why can't this problem be avoided by insisting that all comments be strictly on-topic?
They are in the process of becoming fab as a service, like tsmc. I don’t think intels own short fillings in other instruction set matters.

This still happens with microservices though; people can still make terrible architecture decisions and standup terrible services you depend on.
> it would have been well-known at the time whether it was shallow or not, since the Greeks were well-established in that area

I’m not sure that’s true. Or rather the Greek civilization was so widely dispersed that whatever Plato heard might have been second or third hand information. His audience probably wouldn’t be bothered that much by it either, I don’t think there is any evidence that Athen merchant ships commonly sailed there.

C++ isn't, but C was my first programming language, and I am thankful for this to this day.

Because C in and of itself, is an incredibly simple language. It is made complex in libs, usually by abusing macros, or by trying to shoehorn it into OOP, FP, or whatever other paradigm is currently being idolized.

> Python, go

Go yes, Python no, and I am saying that as someone who does alot of work in Python and loves both languages.

Because Python isn't simple. It looks simple in trivial code, but hides an enormeous amount of complexity and magic not-so-far beneath the surface. In addition, it completely fails at teaching core concepts of memory, and dances around the topic of types.

Beyond requiring intrusive changes to Bitcoin like header commitments, and still needing dozen-KB scripts for pegs, it also limits properties of the sidechain. For instance, if the latter wants to use a memory-hard PoW like Cuckoo Cycle, I don't see how Bitcoin script (which cannot even loop) could verify a cycle in a pseudorandom graph.

I agree with you on OpenAI, I disagree on LLMs in general. I wish someone would use all the content available ever to train a great open-source LLM.
Interestingly, it's working for milk in China.

(Mainland) China has regulations for milk. Including banning of chalk. Alas, those regulations aren't enforced with much teeth in practice, so consumers rely on reputation and brands. Specifically, they buy milks from oversees, like Australia, because of their superior reputation.

A big part of that reputation is that Australian companies won't be protected by the Chinese government when they screw up. So it's harder for them to hide blemishes on their reputation (at least to hide them from Chinese customers).
He certainly didn't hide it. It was in S-1.
It's not like microservices don't also give you chances to mess your data up. It's hard to do transactions across boundaries, you have to deal with eventual consistency, sometimes there is no single source of truth.

I struggle to see how microservices fix this for people; having worked primarily with them for the past 6 years.

Holmes got federal prison time. Neumann did not. Arguably, Holmes did worse. Holmes was about to start selling snake oil, or rather snake oil blood test, which is essentially a medical fraud, although this is not the type of fraud that brought her to she to the prison cell.

Neumann took stupid VC money for a ride. Unethical? Yes. But they giving it to him very willingly. His actions arguably could do more damage, because maybe WeWork bankruptcy can finish off SF commercial real estate market – I don't know how much of their 13 billion lease obligations are in the city. But it's hardly his fault that the system is so brittle.

Because they advertised it as a fully autonomous self-driving car, not a 96-98% self-driving car.

That amounts to needing human intervention for 12-24 seconds in a 10-minute drive, on average. Otherwise the car just…stalls? Would you buy a car that stalled irrecoverably 2-4% of the time?

Reread that article. Only part of the firmware can be liberated. The part that actually controls the radio is locked down.
Speaking of scraping: One fundamental problem is the lack of standardized presentation of discoverable semantic web data cough RDF cough ontologies cough. If it's standardized and provided, then it's less of a burden to the scrapee and more useful for others.

For example, finding the precise version history of open source software inevitably requires scraping a web page, download hosting server, or some source control. This is costly for the servers hosting it and fragile.

Circling back to the case of price data. When an item is not in-stock, merchants have a habit of displaying disingenuous prices that are very high or low.

Another dark pattern of gamification: displaying deceptive prices based on User-Agent, such that crawlers see one price while potential buyers see another.

It’s indeed very tiny if we assume that Plato’s story is almost entirely fictional (I don’t think there are any reasons not to) and partially based on some ancient myth or his interpretation of it (just like many modern works of fiction).

Maybe, but normal developer interracts with sane parts.

Honestly, the biggest problem with git is sane environment for merge conflicts and that is out of scope of git CLI. In most cases, imposing rule for small PRs/feature branches will solve it.

git add, git commit, git log, git blame, git push, git rebase -i --onto. That is 95+% of what developers use (maybe an option here or there, like -m or --amend). Merges are done on CI after it passes.

There are a lot of arcane parts and switches. git-send-email is likely used a lot on kernel development, but very rarely in the rest of the world.

> I've got 10 years in it and it still bites me in the ass.

Can you give some examples? I had some problems in the beginnings, but it was because i tried to be "smart".

After I embraced KISS, everything works nicely. As long as I keep "public" branches protected, any splash zone is very small and at worst, just redo it(synergy with small PRs).

I was a bit confused when I first saw this in the context of deployment jobs.

If you go with oldest first and two or more prod jobs want to run, you are gonna have to wait for all the old deployments to finish unless you go to each one and cancel them, leaving only the latest one. This does prevent unorderd deployments from overwriting each other, but it's a pita.

If you go with newest first, old deployments will overwrite new ones unless you toggle the setting to prevent outdated jobs from running, by which case you'll be locked out of doing a rollback unless you regenerate a whole old pipeline.

It would make sense if they had a "newest only", where if you have one deployment running and 10 pending, by the time the current deployment finishes, gitlab would cancel all deployments except for the latest one. This way you don't have to wait for old deployments and you're free to do a rollback at any time. Bonus points if the cancelled jobs display a link to the latest job that was chosen from the queue.
You're absolutely right that sometimes holding hands takes longer, and as a project maintainer it's up to you to decide where the right tradeoff point is.

However, the alternative side is to simply ignore the PR until the contributor is actually helping you. As a maintainer, you shouldn't feel you have to drive the PR. You should guide it, and spend most of your time on whatever else makes sense.

(Again with the caveat that I don't know what caused the Dendrite devs in particular to make the decision to close down contributions.)

Not unless you go really far beyond the "pillars of Heracles" and end up in America, but I'm sure that's been posited as an explanation plenty of times. If it is though, that's really impressive given that ships weren't made for the big oceans / months long trips like that. (I don't know if they had the navigation tools either)

Some chips are targeted to the "Vehicle infotainment system" market, where the chipmakers commit to making them for 10+ years.

I think this is why the am335x and imx6 are still available, despite the am335x being older than the Raspberry Pi 1.

Of course, such chips are generally slower than flagship phone/tablet processors even at launch, and after 10-15 years even moreso.

My grandpa can't accept windows 10 and had to stuck with win7. I remembered that he actually loves my old hackintosh setup, so when he's computer died I bought him a m1 Mac.

> What am I missing?

Probably that different people find different areas of math interesting and compelling. I personally find the subjects you listed rather dull, and difficult to study as a result, but find the subjects of (f.ex.) algebraic topology and type theory, where category theory more naturally arises (or, at least, I personally find it better motivated), rather more interesting, which has lead to me developing a reasonable (if basic) understanding of category theory.

Perhaps if you were more interested in fields where category theory plays a more prominent role, you'd find it an easier subject to grasp. Or perhaps you'd still find it inscrutable and need to grit your teeth whenever you encountered it. Honestly, I wouldn't really lose sleep over it either way if I were in your shoes, since after all there's no law that says you need to care about category theory, least of all if you don't get anything (enjoyment, utility towards some other pursuit, etc) out of it.
this is something nice. thanks for sharing.
I have six Raspberry Pi's (from the Pi Zero W all the way to the Pi 4) plus several other wifi microcontrollers (ESP8266, ESP32, Pico W etc) doing things around my home and they all happily sit on my wireless network without an issue. Is it possible that your home is subject to some kind of interference that they are struggling to cope with?

I used to work support for an ISP and we would always get customers calling up complaining that our wifi router was shit, but it almost always turned out to be some weird unshielded device causing electrical interference (I remember we would always get a glut of these calls around December when people plugged their cheap Christmas tree lights in!).
I can fully agree on that.
I work with a company that has a spaces subscription and their location in Prague has so many weird rules and ways to squeese money out of both the workers and the company that I find the office to be downright unpleasant.

You're not allowed to eat food or bring your own drinks into the common areas because they want you to pay for their overpriced coffee and sandwitches. The coworking space closes at 5 and you have to leave. It opens at 8:30 and you can't enter before then. They will randomly close half the common area because someone rented it for a party. In the private office there are no power outlets at the desk. There is exactly one hookup place in the middle of the floor and we have extention cables everywhere. Despite paying (way above market) for a private office only a limited number of preaproved people are allowed to use it, anyone extra has to have a spaces subscription too. Despite allegedly renting the private office we are not allowed to use our own furnature, or electronics, or place anything on the walls (we can, but this would be paid extra).

Overall, it looks nice and has a nice view but once you see the rulebook it becomes an extremely unwelcoming experience.

> If I recall correctly the 10^9th fibonacci number is a few hundred megabytes,

It’s easy to prove that

fib(n) < 2^n

(If you need a hint: use induction), so it should be less than 10⁹ bits, or 128 megabytes.

And that bound isn’t tight. A tighter one is 2log(phi) bits per step. That’s slightly less than 0.7, so that would make it less than 90 megabytes.
