I’d highly recommend reading Flush+Reload first since the cache side channel is key to any of these miceoarchitectural attacks.

Yes, many can answer the compsci and physics problems. The math problem is abstract and more difficult, but solving those 3 and 2 others seems nearly superhuman.

The 8 sample questions available here are interesting: https://lastexam.ai/ I might be able to answer 2 of them with great effort (maybe!), and I would highly surprised if any human alive could answer 5 or more without seei

This is not new at all, by the way. Bringing novel ideas and techniques is kind of the whole point of research, and explicitly describing what novel thing you did is a good thing to do in an intro/abstract.

Having a catchy title is great for short hand. If it didn’t have such a catchy name I probably wouldn’t remember Flush+Reload, Spectre, or even Attention is All You Need

Oh I would only weigh things raw - if we’re talking about guessing the portion sizes at a restaurant for example, you might say I’m cooked. I wonder how good an ML model might be at that task. Maybe given a photograph of the plate and the m

I don’t do this anymore, but when I was, the answers are as follows: I didn’t make a ton of sauces myself, but if it was then I would round spices down to zero and weigh the main caloric components (think mayo, soy sauce, sugar, oil, tomato

>and even trained professionals are still off by 40% I find this very hard to believe, unless the term “trained professional” is quite broad. When I was much more into fitness and weighed every meal to the gram, I could tell if a bowl of

I like when the author’s personality shines through, and frankly I can’t imagine finding occasional exclamation marks _tedious_ of all things. I just don’t take things so seriously, I suppose.

I engaged directly with what you said. Namely, >Obviously the transfer of ownership was always about the content I’m struggling to see why you say I didn’t. > you don't need to do any actual censoring because American business le

I responded directly to this > Obviously the transfer of ownership was always about the content Perhaps I should have quoted it so that it was clear.

All companies owned by some specific countries are impacted by this law.

Frankly, I’m not taking seriously an Axios article. The content wasn’t not outlawed; the platform was not outlawed. Some aspect of the platform’s ownership has been outlawedd. That’s pretty different.

That’s only true if Tik Tok remains operating in violation of the law.

The issue isn’t data harvesting, and it’s unclear to me why people getting this wrong. The issue is a foreign government having access to that data, to installed software on millions of phones, and foreign control of the primary information

The free speech argument is ridiculous to me. The content wasn’t at issue; the ownership of the platform was. You can legally the same content anywhere else, and Tik Tok would not be under fire if it were not owned by one of a handful of co

Maybe the comparison is even more meaningless because Project Euler is not a competition. Solving 300 problems is impressive, even if the solutions are posted online, not in the least part because copying solutions you found isn’t solving t

First, you could say something similar about many restrictions. If there is one steel monopoly and you ban being a monopoly then we can apply the same logic you have there. To be completely fair, the “illegal part” of being a monopoly is no

That’s true. I’ve updated the post.

I don’t think it really matters. The fact is there is now a semi-adversarial relationship.

The thing is that those companies are very much under the power of American law, so we can (and have) taken less drastic (and less effective, imo) measures to restrict adversaries from using them for propaganda.

I don’t think it’s even close to a bill of attainder. For one, it targets a class of companies operating from a collection of countries, not an individual person (and SCOTUS has never ruled on corporate personhood for the purposes of being

Really? You were doing offensive security work not for a government (/contractor)? What sorts companies, aside from some enterprise pen testers, employ these roles?

It doesn’t trivialize their work at all - they should still be proud of their accomplishments. Does releasing the Putnam answers make winning a mathematics olympiad less meaningful, after all I can copy those answers easily. Does learning h

Battelle is great. They also created some software called Cantor Dust [1] that turns files into images to allow humans to easily spot obfuscated data or files. The sad thing about this kind of work, because I love it, is that to get paid to

The local government is made up of the collective. I have a lot more control on what they do than what China does.

Why not? It seems like it’s worth sharing.

Math is to computer science as physics is to mechanical engineering, so I feel like there isn’t a massive distinction.
