I dont neccesarily think it would cost millions per key pair. Hard to say with the technology so immature, but it seems like the sort of thing with huge upfront costs but low marginal costs. Once you have a QC you dont have to build a new o

My bank definitely doesn't require 2FA on every transaction. It only requires it to log in. I guess other people have more security concious banks then me. Even still, i think there is some benefit to attackers being able to passively

On the brightside at least we'll have a clear indicator for when quantum computers actually arrive.

D-Wave is not making the type of quantum computers these breakthroughs would apply to, even if scaled up, as far as i know.

I find it crazy how whenever space stuff or even fundamental science stuff in general gets talked about, the its a waste of money crowd comes out. Everyone is totally fine with the AI bullshit of the day or the people spending millions on a

Its also kind of weird, as the article is basically just an executive summary. Did they really need AI to come up with that? Its hardly in the weeds of the details.

From the IAEA perspective, Israel is not a party to the nuclear non-proliferation treaty so they are not bound by IAEA rules (and in exchange they do not get the benefits of being part of the treaty, which are substantial)

I can't read either of those because they are paywalled but ghe first paragraph of the first one doesn't seem to support your position. In any case, almost everything i've read is that the majority of drones are shot down wit

More to the point, if your military is only good when enemies attack you the way you want them to, you don't have a good military.

Bugs are not the same as (real) high severity bugs. If you find a bug in a web browser, that's no big deal. I've encountered bugs in web browsers all the time. You figure out how to make a web page that when viewed deletes all the

Oh good point. It looks like anubis is using 64 byte random plus a nonce. Unless i'm missing something it seems like using 56 bytes random plus 8 byte nonce would be a better design or maybe hmac'ing the nonce & data together.

I dont understand what you mean. Are you saying that in C you only calculate the first few digits of the hash? That's not how sha256 works. Edit: oh i think you mean in c the string comparison short curcuits. I would expect the same to

That doesnt mean the PoW is doing anything, it might just mean bots have js disabled. I dont think the person was claiming annubis doesnt work, they were disputing PoW is the reason it actually works.

Shouldnt browser also have it implemented in c? Like i assume crypto.subtle isnt written in js.

Yes, but it also means that if someone complains you can more easily tell them to shove it. The net can still be less. I don't like it, but i understand why it happens.

The company that would have to hire devs to make sure it worked correctly on firefox. The business case for things like this is pretty obvious when firefox usage is so low.

by bawolff 7mo ago
This is what happens when your usage share is basically a rounding error. I love firefox, i've been using it since version 1.0 to today. However mozilla really has been directionless, its no surprise that nobody cares when the browser

At the very least we should make it like smoking. Let people do it if they want but definitely dont allow advertisements.
