This is almost perfect trolling because I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not. So I'm just exiting out of this one :-)

Have we tried not bringing up race for unrelated reasons like articles about WeWork though? That might help a bit.

I'm no expert in quantum computation but my understanding is that using qubits for quantum computing is totally different to using qubits to exchange secrets as in cryptographic key exchange. The latter is using the property that obser

I've also noticed that even fact-checking is being weaponized for political reasons. A lot of the time it seems like only one side of the debate is fact checked, and only truly ridiculous claims against the other are debunked.

I just want to say, I know exactly how you felt. The confusion upon confusion. Is this everything? Forever? Panic. It's ok. A good trip is worth it. It all makes sense in the end. The "perspective shift" of which you speak is

It varies on the individual, probably due to body mass and so on. Even then, it's not like a certain dose will guarantee a certain experience. I'm a ~72kg man and I'd say 3.5g is a normal dose and 4.5g is verging on high. The

I’ve taken mushrooms quite a few times. With a light dose, it’s just been mild, being silly and giggling at colors and nature. Pleasant, but just kind of a fun drug honestly. With a moderate dose, you tend to be introspective and consider y

I don't think you should be downvoted simply because people disagree with you. This isn't Reddit, guys. However, I've done mushrooms quite a lot. I've had a couple bad trips where I've lost my sense of self, all mem

I'm surprised blockchains are still being hyped even though they have practically no useful applications for business. Of all buzzwords, blockchain must surely have the worst hype-to-usefulness ratio of all-time. Having said that, ev

There's this http://people.csail.mit.edu/rivest/RivestShamirWagner-timelo... which uses repeated squaring as a kind of unparallelizable searching function to force a set period of time until a solution is found. I

Keybase does something similar by sticking the Merkle tree root of hashes of signatures in the bitcoin blockchain: https://book.keybase.io/docs/crypto

by Moodles 6y ago
Honestly (and I hate saying this) but you could stick the hashes in a public blockchain and get clients to verify. But of course this would cost money and any Merkle tree would do, but I can’t believe I just non-ironically suggested a block

I have a master's degree in math and a PhD in STEM so I know how linear algebra works. So when I say it's excellent writing, I don't mean perfectly calibrated for me or you. I mean it's excellent writing for a wide audie

I don't think the article was bad enough to call it "fluff". Also the result is technically "guaranteed to be faster than the *currently best known* methods of solving dense linear systems", no? It might be the case

That's really excellent writing. It explains the gist of it really well. I suspect the proof details are very complex though. It's also not clear if this method will practically be a speed up, or just asymptotically. It's sti

I'm saying I also dislike the overly leftist culture in San Francisco, which is another reason why I'm leaving. There are many nice people here, but there are also too many people who I consider too far gone. Stuff like: – Non-iro

Yeah because equal outcomes and partitioning based on race and other irrelevant characteristics is a really great idea. Sarcasm is on a roll this evening.

And that, my friend, is the final reason why I am leaving ;-)

Yeah, but we throw a really nice gay pride parade to show we're good people. Loads of BLM support on walls. Many of my colleagues updated their instagram filters.

It's not even just the homelessness. Public transport sucks too. Just given taxes and cost of living, I just don't see the value at all.

I'm leaving San Francisco next month also. I just see no reason to continue living here. The weather is nice in California, but the city is so mismanaged it's a joke. The homelessness has been an issue for decades now and local po

Right, but that's a little unfair? SHA-256 is literally a function designed to make it impossible to find such collisions. BIONIC problems aren't designed with that in mind.

I once saw another example coin like this where the "useful PoW" was finding chains of prime numbers or something. However, PoW solutions were not dependent on the current blockchain sate, which rendered it insecure as someone cou
