But there are a couple in production that are topping the benchmarks.

For the optimistic case, read this piece by RethinkX: https://www.rethinkx.com/blog/rethinkx/the-disruption-of-lab... (Fwiw, >20 years ago RethinkX correctly projected the exponential cost declines of solar and

Since they've reduced the max RAM on current Studios from 512GB to 96GB, I'm not holding my breath.

I already described in detail how to do revocations despite the website not being able to identify the device. The whole point of zero knowledge is that you can prove you have possession of information with particular properties, without ha

Yeah, but it's everything getting fuzzed, including the parts you care about.

Well it would be anonymous because the client public key is randomly generated every time, and the zk proof doesn't include the identifier.

I don't think this is about becoming a great musician. Maybe that comes later. As the title suggests, this is just about becoming a musician in the first place. As a piano player who's been noodling around for a few years, tryin

Thinking about this further: it looks to me like we can fully prevent proxy attacks if we assume secure hardware handling the cryptography on the client side, and send an encrypted sessionid to the client after verification. The reason is t

I'm not sure what my "attitude" is but I'm being pragmatic. This is not a binary situation, where it's either perfectly secure or useless. If our society is not willing to do what you and I prefer and leave things e

So as I've mentioned elsewhere, that depends on how much of a stickler we insist on being. If we're ok with "mostly fix it but if a few teenagers get through it's not the end of the world," then there are a few simp

Well technically, you could still have open PCs, and just plug in a device like a USB hardware wallet.

I don't know how many times I can repeat that I agree with that. "Here is a plan that is bad in an obvious way, but not near as bad as what the government actually plans to do." "Omg you proposed something bad." Asi

No, you don't look up the token. You check a zero-knowledge proof. The way this works is, there's a function with both public and private inputs, and an output. You can send me public inputs, and I can pass those plus my private i

I'm not missing the point, and if you'll think about my scheme for a bit you'll see that anonymity is maintained in normal circumstances even though there's incentive to protect your credentials. Let's go through sc

I'm saying a system like this is preferable to attaching our real identities to everything we do online, as countries are attempting right now. We can verify age without losing privacy or anonymous speech. It's still my preference

Are you saying such proxying apps exist now? Can you link a source for me? Regarding my scheme: The only way law enforcement should have access is if they show up and get the phone in their possession, with a warrant. Which could happen any

Sure, but then you're partnering with someone you probably don't know to take payment for doing something illegal, and that partner knows your device and where to send the money. And if it's a phone app, it's not going t

Analog synths are a lot more reliable these days though.

For kids with parents like that, the internet is probably the least of their problems.

Bear in mind the decay is exponential, so most of the radioactivity is in the near term. There's no fissile, and by mass it's about 1% as much as we're getting now from conventional reactor spent fuel. Encase it in glass and

Some of the GenIV designs would be compact and easily mass-produced. You'll never get waste management below about 300 years with fission, because that's basically what you get from the fission products. But the really long-term s

The problem with Chernobyl was that (1) it didn't have a containment dome, and (2) it was designed so as the temperature increased, the reaction sped up . It was fundamentally unstable. Neither of these problems is true of more recent

So we need CDC approval for the vaccine to be provided to everyone at no cost. But it sounds like if only the FDA approves, the vaccine will be available to anyone willing to pay. Is that correct?

I don't think that follows. Hyundai could well sell these after they've dogfooded them for a while. Car factories seem to be a pretty good initial market, given that Tesla is doing Optimus and Figure has humanoids in a BMW factory

Don't students usually have miserable salaries? I would expect any engineer's salary to go up a lot after getting some experience and graduating, so it's hard for me to tell how much this data point generalizes to the whole p

That's a funny take and I'm tempted to agree, since butterfly was the bane of my existence as a skinny swimmer in high school. But hopping on one foot was never a rule hack that gave you an advantage in some preexisting event. But
