You don't, at this point. You also don't know whether a person is lying to you or not. Or whether the person believes and replicates some utter nonsense. Even memories are unreliable, especially old ones, in a way that's simi

Okay, but GPT can actually explain its thinking and even conduct simple proofs with rigour equivalent to what one finds at a modern university maths course. The models are just not good enough for harder tasks, time will tell if they become

English is neither particularly efficient nor particularly inefficient. OpenAI has simply purposefully modified the distribution of tokens (deviated it from the natural distribution of all written texts) and as a result non-English text, es

A Staff Engineer doesn't really have to care about for example people that have a rough patch, or about notorious assholes ruining the team's morale. That's mostly a people's manager problem. On the other hand people

I am quite sure GPT can undo tokenization if needed. It has no problem handling misspellings, plus you can just ask it to "spell things" L-I-K-E S-O.

I think that's the big success of GPT. Imagine if you asked "what's your favorite type of a Google query", nearly everyone would have a different answer. In particular a substantial percentage of Google queries are only

If P=NP then there is no encryption and no secure digital signature algorithms whatsoever. No post-quantum variants, I mean there's nothing at all. Also, if P=NP quantum computers are probably not useful at all, perhaps they're a

I mean, when you first build something like this and you have no idea whether it will die in 6 months or live the next 20 years, do you really want to bother with the logo's format?

This makes a lot of sense. Slightly stupid question but maybe you know the exact reason: could we apply symmetric encryption only after Alice has determined that maybe-Bob is the real Bob? That is only after Bob sends the certs and the sign

Funny enough my experience says that it is hardware. Software bugs rarely manifest at such low frequencies (say 10^-15 or so) compared to hardware faults.

Thanks for the link. But I believe that the first set of keys/IVs is not protected whatsoever. Anyone can run the "Server Key Exchange Generation", as it doesn't require any secrets such as certificate private keys, only

I couldn't quite follow the symmetric key derivation. First there's something called "handshake key computations", which generates a full set of encryption and mac keys. It seems to be entirely based on secp256r1 (NIST P

That's not a similar situation at all. Germany was very safe to build soon after the war, but was an occupied country that had to first prove good intentions. Remember the famous quote about NATO's purpose: "to keep Russians

Not crazy at all. Western Ukraine is already being rebuilt, it's safer there than in, IDK, Argentina where you can get robbed very easily. For example the bridges around Kyiv that were blown up during the failed assault on the capital

Yeah, and at the margin all it does is it incurs a small cost at the bill printing facility. Nothing else changes, since the central banks can and will freely convert base digital money into bills, without limit.

Friendly reminder that you cannot remove money like that from circulation (unless you literally burn it), it just goes into another account or transforms from the digital form to the printed form. Only reducing the overall debt level reduce

The fastest "real aircraft" was the SR-71, and it was already ridiculously expensive to keep it running at just above Mach 3. The program was cancelled due to costs, too expensive for what it was providing in the age of cheaper an

Aegis would have taken care of it easily with an SM-3. I wonder if some Arleigh Burkes or other Aegis-enabled ships are on standby every time there's a launch. Or perhaps the Air Force helps with a Patriot battery.
