Yes, the time complexity of m-cfa is polynomial. See https://arxiv.org/pdf/1311.4231 I'll borrow a few choice pieces from the paper to try to explain why. The main difference is that: k-cfa is sensitive to the las

I remember implementing this decades ago. Brings me back to see it again :) Your implementation looks nice. You are right that often lots of lattice tricks and such are played in real implementations. If you are worried about speed and memo

Kind of, sort of - they depend on the trustees not going rogue.

Trusts get complicated quickly, and I'll admit i don't know enough about per-country/per-state (in the US) trust law to know if you could achieve this for real everywhere. I'm sure there are countries you can mostly ach

The first thing i said makes this sort of irrelevant, but to go down this path: The replay attacks i'm aware of fall into two categories - cold start and warm start (mostly from https://arxiv.org/html/2501.09246v1

yeah, i don't get it either. The clock is not the hard part of this. Oscillators doing 10mhz or 1pps with nanosecond accurate holdover for 24hours are easily available (for like 3k for chip-scale atomic clocks, and less for rubidium or

The article is seriously confused. What you are talking about is easy - chip scale atomic clocks are easy to get. I can have one shipped to me today. Hell, i have one on a time card in my basement. Assume you want it even super accurate. G

Sure, let me amend it to "i'm suspicious of any significant performance improvement in as system where performance actually matters, and has existed in a state where performance matters for a long time".

They clarify they mean they think they will regret it historically in the sense of losing that part of history, rather than monetarily, etc. But to me this is like arguing a swarm of locusts are going to one day regret that they destroyed s

Yeah, there is just too much here - i started down the path of trying to explain some of the legal issues and problems, and how people often think and deal with them (with pointers to some of the more interesting attempts, etc), since as yo

FWIW - the fix was merged since you wrote that blog post ;) Beyond that - 3-5% is a lot for something as old as the python interpreter if it holds up. I would still be highly proud of that. After 30 years, i've learned (like i expect

Yes - for a non-heat pump it's 2-3kw, all-in. The car is not using more than ~10kw, all-in. Today, it's closer to 1.5kw, all-in, accounting for heat pumps, etc. Cooling is less intensive. Keep in mind: Homes are also often well-in

I use svelte a lot, because react's rules and such tend to drive me nuts. It's not that i can't get used to them, it's that i just don't want to have to deal with them when they exist mainly because it made it easie

"Picasa could have had the same promising future as Sketchup." Depends what you mean. if you mean should have been spun out - it was a day and age that Google was still too young and immature to do that sort of thing, so yeah, no

People keep citing his accomplishments (for lack of a better term) as if it has any bearing on whether something else a conflict and whether he needs to recuse or not. As if to imply that because they believe he helps in the end, it makes

I think you may be confused. Here's what should happen - by law, by statute, and what any more general conflicts of interest policy would tell you in roughly any situation: "Oh, this is a thing that appears <doesn't have t

The latter is definitely true, and i don't claim otherwise. But that's not actually the argument really being made here with any evidence. That would be a reasonable argument, but it's also always true - we are human, not rob

Cool, want to actually engage, or are you also going to just throw rocks from the sidelines?

"No reasonable amount of engineering resources would have made a dent in the problem. What OP is calling "weaponization of complexity" is just the asymmetry of effort required between new comers and entrenched players."

by DannyBee 2y ago
Literally none of that has any relevance to whether it's a conflict of interest, and whether he should have recused. How do you not see that? How can you possibly, in good faith, think that "some of these contracts went well and s

Sure, but they've also had tons of products that have run for decades. After 18 years of living, i'll give you the best view I got: While I do think Google kills products it shouldn't, my view there tends more towards when th

I mean, it's not always like that, at Google it always depended on the business unit. To be honest, I think it's sort of simplistic to try to characterize a 185k person company and its culture with this sort of lack of nuance, whe

Sorry, but no. Even if it was an arguably reasonable opinion (It's not), claiming bad faith with those that argue with it is even worse. That should not be a point of pride. If it was a reasonable opinion, and they didn't just tr

by DannyBee 2y ago
Both can be true - you definitely know that the main concern here is that people feel it's a conflict of interest. You deliberately ignore the fact that all the instances you listed were done through proper procurement processes, and s

by DannyBee 2y ago
It's sort of a nonsense opinion because it ignores: All of those things they are talking about were from a competitive bidding process that presumably followed normal procurement rules. If this change does/did, great, no problem.

Trump told a room packed with people he was going to make it so they didn't have to vote again. They just didn't realize he was going to achieve it by cutting off all their healthcare so they die
