Those numbers aren't in the CVE. You introduced them, attributed them to a source that doesn't contain them, and now you're disclaiming them. Where did they come from, and what was the goal of sharing them?

I've thought a lot about this problem. Is a state machine what you want? Or is it actually a Behavior Tree which can construct itself on-the-fly?

The ZK part isn't the problem. The "attestation of recent humanity" part is. Who attests? What happens when someone can't get attested? You've been to the doctor recently, right? Given them your SSN? Every identity

No, we really don't. We don't need worldcoin, we don't need papers, please. We just don't. "Prove your humanity/age/other properties" with this mechanism quickly goes places you do not want it to go.

How does your software work with blind people like me who use screen readers? Your key finding is that humans process the grid as one visual scene — but that's a finding about sighted cognition. Isn't this, like most things, a sen

You didn't 'give the spiders what they seem to want.' You exploited a naive ranking algorithm to inject garbage into search results that real people were trying to use. That you rationalized it at the time is human. That you&

All true, and yet: Windows accessibility actually works. I use a screen reader daily. Linux a11y is complete dogshit — AT-SPI2 is unreliable, Orca is barely maintained, Wayland broke what little existed. I need something that actually works

The SSA is one of the largest federal employers of blind people. "Karen" could easily be a blind woman on the other end of that call, also below the poverty line on a GS-nothing salary, who now has to deal with a fax machine (hope

I'm blind. This guy is not fighting the system. He's being a jerk to a call center worker and writing fan fiction about her suffering in public. Not a good look.

Okay. So you talk to your personal math tutor and you learn math. That the AI knows. Are you gonna get paid to use that? I don't understand "there is a machine which will teach you everything, so you'll be fine" when &qu

The WSJ describes a US citizen's constitutional right to due process as a 'hurdle' that could 'hobble' intelligence operations. Read that again and notice whose side the sentence is written from.
