The wiki article on GNFS says: > The size of the input to the algorithm is log2 n or the number of bits in the binary representation of n. Any element of the order nc for a constant c is exponential in log n. The running time of the numb

Okay I hadn't read about how many calculations it takes to cover the search space, so my equations aren't right about that. However, you will do yourself a big favor if you take the time to understand why this is wrong: > if 2^

Right, so if it costs $8 to search the space for a 16-bit key, a proper equation for the cost of cracking an n-bit key is Cost(n) = search_space(n) * $8 / search_space(16) And search_space(x) = 2^x so Cost(n) = 2^n * $2^3 / 2^16 =

Hacker News is one of the most simple, unaesthetic sites out there so the untyped lambda calculus seems like a fitting metaphor to me

My first thought was good ol' Microsoft UX design... Wish they had kept the description and page URL top and center. And at least made the tabs and badges area the same width as the content. I bet they'll eventually come to their

Vim emulation in VSCode worse than any other IDE I've used. All extensions have to run on the same thread in a background process and intercepted keystrokes are passed to that process over IPC. So if other extensions (like the TS lang

Yes, that React is really convenient for building practically any type of web app, not just real-time apps, and they probably want the slick and seamless user experience they can get by building a progressive web app in React.

I was pretty impressed by fake Obama's voice. Obviously it doesn't stand up to close scrutiny, but I think if I heard it playing in the background, I could be fooled. And the biggest giveaway was occasional weird intonation rath

Yes, but imagine a human impersonator who has infinite time to take requests from anyone and generate free recordings of any person with a substantial online audiovisual presence.

Avoiding court misjudgment is reasonably possible. How we're going to fight against people believing whatever sound bytes from fake news they want to believe is a harder question...

To the people who are complaining about this sort of thing: where do you draw the line on free speech on college campuses? For instance would you want universities to allow students to use racial slurs, with malice , in classroom discussi

Exactly. It would be helpful if that document went into detail about what can be classified as discrimination, hate speech, etc. so as to make those terms less malleable and abusable. I also wish that it emphasized the intent of someone&#

That document classified nothing as true or untrue; it simply stated some things that are not compatible with the university's mission (goals being inherently subjective) and that the professors would resist such things. I would prefe

that brings up an important point -- being convicted or incarcerated might affect one's daily mood enough to change their resting facial expression -- so to control for that the study should have made sure to only use photos of crimina
