Given that a number of modern social and economic problems can be traced back to Thatcher and Reagan policies, anybody quoting Thatcher unironically should not be taken seriously.

Goldreich-Oren still applies to NIZKs and SNARKs; the setup phase is the first verifier message. Even in SNARKs with transparent setup (eg, STARKs), the randomness used in the setup phase counts as the firstverifier message.

The result is indeed theoretical, but is a big advancement in theory. zkSNARKs (and other “non-interactive” proof systems) are actually secretly interactive because they all require a setup phase, which effectively counts as the first verif

The author didn’t use those words “just because”. Game-based security and simulation-based security are two different styles of security definitions used in cryptography, and we differentiate between them for good reason: game-based defini

The professors, graduate students, and staff (not admins) are all working class. They are not some kind of elite in society. The median professor makes less than, say, an electrician. I am a professor in a good school, and I could probably

Almost none of that goes into research funding. Researchers are funded largely by government grants.

This was beautifully put. Lovely writing, and I agree; the current system is a recipe for anxiety.

Not sure what you’re trying to say? That the Greeks got it from a Semitic people? Or something else?

If the value that the “other side” is espousing is that “it’s okay for girls to die giving birth”, well, we can safely discount that as a valid position to hold in modern society. Some things are just absolutely bad.

I don’t think that these attacks indicate things one way or another for ZKPs vs TEEs. After all, you yourself mention catastrophic breaks for various TEE implementations. There are two kinds of issues: a break in the proof system, and a bre

Better that you stick to promoting D instead of defending price gouging.

What are you talking about? This level of escalation hasn’t happened for at least a quarter century. I know, because I’ve lived in the gulf for large parts of that period

Just this week we've seen Linux talking about dropping support for some older hardware precisely because attacks against it were becoming easier with LLMs.

There are plenty of people who are here legally being shackled in chains and deported too. Also, nice try propagandizing chained deportation as “free plane tickets”

> Ultimately, it comes down to the halting problem: If there's a mechanism that can be used to alter the measured behaviour, then the system can change behaviour to take into account the mechanism. No, that’s the opposite of the hal

Ah yes, “market knows best”. Perhaps consider that what companies are optimizing for isn’t what is best for consumers, or humanity, or the earth.

Yes, so instead of helping them, they want them to be imprisoned. Out of sight, out of mind, right?

How does this actually stop homelessness? Most homeless people, if you fine them money, won't exactly be able to find housing more easily. Similarly, if you imprison them, they aren't suddenly able to find a job more easily.

Nobody has hidden the history of contributions of Rabin to cryptography or computer science. He is a Turing Award winner.

For that to work you need someone with good intentions doing the rebuilding. Fascists like thiel and andreesen don’t have good intentions.

Good. But the parent was blaming Trump on disinformation propaganda, and it is important to point out that the remaining 1/3-rd of the country is not some kind of idiot army that replaced their brains with FB propaganda. They voted for
