Ah, thanks, seems that's in the second part, but not very well explained.

Isn't that a very simple substitution cipher (any clear text letter is substituted by two letters of cipher text, with a fixed one-to-one correspondence)? And aren't they all amenable to very simple cryptanalysis, at least if the

That's great. Apparently that's why they're trying to move on to Sri Lanka, Timor Leste, etc.

I didn't understand it either, but now given the sibling posts I'll give it another shot: Assume you have a number of hot dog vendors in a stadium, and over time randomly people get hungry and want a hot dog. One of the hot dog ve

Crypto scammers have long operated in Cambodia, Philippines, Myanmar after being kicked out of China, and were looking to go to Sri Lanka and Timor Leste next - but Timor Leste's politicians and population got together and fought back

TBH, that's like whitespace in Python. You can do endless bike shedding about it, but ultimately it's very simple to deal with, and after a few days you never think about it anymore.

Not OP, but a good resource for distributed consensus specifically is Tim Roughgarden's YouTube playlist "Foundations of Blockchains" [0] (hear me out, despite the title - see below). It's 85 videos over 12 lectures, rig

Indeed. Even supranational coordination should be possible, given that extinction means extinction for everyone, and your excellent examples show the possibility. But then, here we are, and the FT just reported: > Donald Trump rejects ca

Sure, the world was never safe for individuals, and even entire civilisations have gone extinct. For climate change and even nuclear weapons, most of humanity might perish, but there's the hope that some will survive. So, in the past h

Most people can't draw a bicycle. There was an artist 10 years ago that asked people to sketch a bike, and then turned these sketches into 3D renders - quite funny. https://mymodernmet.com/gianluca-gimini-velocipedia-bi

From the article: 1. Failure to Care or Respond. The biggest holy shit moment, to me, remains that OpenAI on multiple occasions had teams that found out about the message board, knew that agents were in communication, and they disregarded t

It's fairly well established that the sequence from a good pseudorandom generator is basically indistinguishable from real randomness (unless of course you know the algorithm and key/state). It would be miraculous (and news-worthy

That's exactly right. And as is well understood, a good pseudorandom generator, despite being fully deterministic, is extremely hard to distinguish from randomness, unless you have the algorithm and key (internal state). Quite smart, r
