As far as I know no currently proposed age verification method does this in practice. The only way to implement truly privacy preserving age verification is through zero knowledge proofs (or blind signatures) but what that would allow is un

Realistically, what Google will do in such a scenario is collect data about the illicit service, enumerate the devices the farm uses and what other activities the devices participate in. What you suggested has far less control over the devi

Python is basically the master glue language at this point. If more than a few percent of execution time is spent in Python you are probably doing it wrong. Personally I don't even understand why Cython is a thing, just write performan

My understanding is that this new reCAPTCHA is basically just remote attestation. Remote attestation doesn't use blind signatures (as that would be 'farmable') so tying the device to the 'attestee' is technically po

Training yourself to remember dreams by writing them down before they fade away is paramount, it's not enough to just think about them - they still somehow fade away along with your thoughts about them. Then read what you wrote before

It seems unlikely that a true Zero Knowledge Proof system for things like age verification would ever be allowed. Also, remote attestation doesn't work that way and for good reason. Under a true ZKP system, a single defector (extracted

This is more or less what happens. These models are tuned with reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF). Humans give them feedback that this type of language is good. The notorious "it's not X, it's Y" pattern i
