> If you interact with government or some large entities that do business with government, they have to comply with FIPS 140-2, and cannot use ed25519.

Not even when FIPS 140-3 was (finally) finalized in 2019, and testing began in 2020?

https://csrc.nist.gov/projects/cryptographic-module-validati... includes mentions of EdDSA, and Curve25519 is listed among the "Recommended Curves for U.S. Federal Government Use" on page 15 of https://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/SpecialPublications/NIST.S....

(I guess the problem is that various crypto implementations need to get recertified under the new standard...)

edit: it looks like AWS-LC [0] and boringcrypto [1] have both been validated under FIPS 140-3. Azure's OpenSSL crypto [2] has only been validated under FIPS 140-2 as far as I can tell.

Not sure I agree. China did by the Qin Dynasty. They have spent centuries defining the notion of centralized government right down to civil service exams (imperial examination system) for a thousand years. Rome was a pretty well-defined system of government, no?
You’re crushing it, fam
Yes! Sorry. It's mentioned in the comments here but it should have occurred to me to expand on it.

TNP is really a research-grade problem that all CAD packages have to mitigate -- you can I think still run into issues that stem from face/vertex naming in all CAD packages if you really push them, and there are pathological cases where the solution is only to be consistent in arbitrary choices.

But mainline FreeCAD had no solution for this. A solid proof-of-concept implementation has existed in RealThunder's fork (which was originally used for Assembly 3 development) but since the solution touches an awful lot of the code it was never ported across and got increasingly difficult to port. There was reluctance to just switch wholesale to his fork because it contains some somewhat contentious developments, and it has taken some very deliberate, considered rethinking of the organisation of mainline FreeCAD releases to get the TNP code ported, which it now is.

There are still TNP issues, and there are still things one should not hope to rely on in FreeCAD -- like building on faces generated by chamfers, drafts or thicknesses.

I also think what risks being lost is the wisdom of sometimes deliberately choosing to build some features of a part from the base planes rather than a generated face; it reduces the complexity of dependencies and allows much freer re-working.

You're more productive when you don't have to reinvent the wheel, as I already stated.
While I find value in LLMs they still overall seem unreasonably not that useful.

It might be like trying to train a neural net in 1993 on a 60mhz Pentium. It is the right idea but fundamental parts of the system are so lacking.

On the other hand, I worry we have gone down the support vector machine path again. A huge amount of brain power spent on a somewhat dead end that just fits the current hardware better than what we will actually use in the long run.

The big difference though from SVM is this has captured the popular imagination and if the tide goes out, the AI winter will the most brutal winter by an order of magnitude.

AGI or bust.
If your stack is Node.js, I highly recommend SSTv3 [0], which uses Pulumi under the hood and thus lets you deploy to any provider you want, be that cloud or docker in Hetzner.

It's simple and can scale to complex if you want. I've had very good experience with it in medium size TS monorepos.

Furthermore, your team have already demonstrated that you can reevaluate things that you had strong opinions on, and come to a different conclusion. I'm thinking of the decision to exclusively run hardware-virtualized VMs rather than LX-branded zones, as we discussed on Oxide and Friends before.

I don't think working at Oxide would be for me, but I respect the team's values and process.
Wrong narative. I love espresso. But comparing it with 250 euro espresso machine, I highly doubt that it will make 500% better coffee, for wast majority of the owners, cleaning one < 500 euros machine regularly would make more difference, maybe drying portafilter before use, learning how to equally distribute coffee in portafilter, adding a round cut tea/coffee filter at bottom of it, grind coffee correctly. Price / performance is just not there.

And I am not saying that any other mentioned "mid range" espresso machine is worth that money.
It’s the expected result cause GDPR creators are living under an effing rock. Working in peoples interest and being completely clueless are orthogonal things.
The pay being larger, is caused (I think) by VC money and the illegality of non-compete contracts. If your competitor can do something you can't, hire someone away from the competitor to show you how to do it. Hence developers can demand more pay for retention, and more pay to move.
I'm noticing a strange common theme in all these riddles, it's being asked and getting wrong.

They're all badly worded questions. The model knows something is up and reads into it too much. In this case it's tautology, you would usually say "a mother and her son...".

I think it may answer correctly if you start off asking "Please solve the below riddle:"

There was another example yesterday which it solved correctly after this addition.(In that case the point of views were all mixed up, it only worked as a riddle).

...and bypass the host firewall by default unless you explicitly bind stuff to localhost :-/

I don't particularly love or hate docker, but when I realized this, I decided to interact with it as little as possible for production environments. Such "convenient" defaults usually indicate that developers don't care about security or integrating with the rest of the system.
A documentation is written for particular audiences, not always but typically users. And a user-directed documentation is largely a hindrance for whoever is actually updating a source code adjacent to that documentation, because it acts like a boilerplate template. An embedded documentation does make the absence of documentation obvious and helps towards the completeness, but not without a compromise. Ideally it should then be reordered and further elaborated externally so that it can be maximally useful.

Rust has a good documentation but the general lack of such manipulation makes it often hard to navigate. For example `Vec` [1] has a lot of inherent methods with two separate orderings, where one is alphabetical in the sidebar and another is the declaration order, but none of them are actually logical and will benefit from reordering in general. Of course Rust folks are aware of this issue and have put a lengthy introduction with most important methods for each category, but that's less flexible and prone to future updates.

It's knowledge is broad and general, it does not have insight into the specifics of a person's discussion style, there are many humans that struggle with distinguishing sarcasm for instance. Hard to fault it for not being in alignment with the speaker and their strangely phrased riddle.

> 3. There are some systems out there that don't support ed25519, though they are becoming rarer. If you have to deal with those systems then you're forced to use RSA (at least for that system).

Azure Devops is a big one.
Advances in remote sensing are making continuous water quality monitoring much easier. At our company we use a combination of satellite imagery and in situ optical sensors to monitor rivers and reservoirs. As well as a general water quality index, we can estimate concentrations of harmful nutrients, chlorophyll-a, phycocyanin, suspended matter, dissolved organic carbon to name a few.

A further advantage of satellite remote sensing for water quality is that it can be done by a neutral third party, without permission or access to the land, which can help bring a bit of objectivity to the politicized narrative around water quality we are seeing at the moment.

I usually went with the kids to Angelibad before, I really like the vibe and they love the ice cream, playground and kids pool. Now they're getting older, so we're either directly go somewhere to the Donau or hang out in one of the other baths like Strandbad Alte Donau or further down.

I normally don't like sweetwater for swimming and stayed away from the Danube for years. I was expecting the muddy smell and all, but this one's really great - I should've tried it earlier.
No, that's not a conclusion we can draw, because there is nothing much more to do than memorize the answer to this specific trick question. That's why it's a trick question, it goes against expectations and therefore the generalized intuitions you have about the domain.

We can see that it doesn't memorize much at all by simply asking other questions that do require subtle understanding and generalization.

You could ask the model to walk you through an imaginary environment, describing your actions. Or you could simply talk to it, quickly noticing that for any longer conversation it becomes impossibly unlikely to be found in the training data.

That’s what rugby players think. Like American football they get tackled but instead of stopping the play they pass the ball back to their mate, who gets tackled again and then they pass it back…. And like that other football they are running around for 90 minutes.

Pure insanity but I love it. Too bad have to drive two and a half hours to catch a game.
So basically, wherever there are hills. I mean, I'm sure it is accurate, but looking at my local area I don't see any differentiation between one hill or another, or any additional information I could glean from it that I could not just by looking at a hill and saying, "Yup, that side is steeper."
If you read into the thinking of the above example it wonders whether it is some sort of trick question. Hardly memorization.

510ks have a 90 day timeline. The FDA can "stop the clock" to ask for more information and clarification. Buts its 90 days from submital to approval or rejection if your paperwork is in order.

Novel devices have a different path.

Once cleared the FDA can and will come by at anytime and do an audit of your processes and if they aren't up to snuff they can shutdown sales.

"Pretty fast".. relatively speaking, considering that it's in an immutable, garbage collected language. Still woefully slow compared to anything else out there(say, bevy? which incidentally works similarly to apecs) and mostly practically unusable if the goal is to actually create a real product.

This directly implies that all the people that did useful stuff (improving cancer survivability, new vaccines, renewable energy, and others) are all "below" the "greatest minds of our generation".

Not to mention it also suggests there is a way to "compare" minds. I would not choose myself to do somethings, but that does not mean I despise automatically people choosing to.

RSA signature verification is already very fast and TLS doesn't use RSA for encryption anymore so the problem reduces to optimizing signing operations.
I thought fire departments were more aware now that you don't use water to put out a battery fire. Why did they use so much water in this case?
The trick with the 7 wives and 7 bags and so on is that no long reasoning is required. You just have to notice one part of the question that invalidates the rest and not shortcut to doing arithmetic because it looks like an arithmetic problem. There are dozens of trick questions like this and they don't test understanding, they exploit your tendency to predict intent.

But sure, we could ask more questions and that's what we should do. And if we do that with LLMs we can quickly see that when we leave the basin of the memorized answer by rephrasing the problem, the model solves it. And we would also see that we can ask billions of questions to the model, and the model understands us just fine.

The dictionary quality was definitely highly sensitive to some of the tricks that the original authors implemented in their C++ code, many were documented in the paper but a few were not:

1. Always promoting single-bytes by boosting their scores by a factor of 8 in candidate search

2. Boosting the calculated gains of single-byte candidates by a factor of 8 to prevent them from falling off in later generations

3. Having an adaptive threshold for which symbols are included as the rounds go on

I didn't document these in the blog post to keep the content accessible, but it's definitely something you find once you start digging into compression ratios! Perhaps they will end up in a part 2 at some point.
