BearSSL is pretty tiny, though I haven't looked at it beyond a glance at the homepage after a friend linked it. Is it what you had in mind? https://bearssl.org/

The site isn't at www.sdf.org for the record, it's just at sdf.org. There's a big difference in what you'll find!

Perhaps even more paradoxically, the US court declared that Grams couldn't be distributed not only in the United States, but globally. Why? Because, it said, a US citizen might find some way of accessing the TON platform after it laun

The concern is in the appropriation of the term 'hacker'. He's not putting anything or anyone down, he's saying that this is hacking, and MBA posts of acronym soup aren't. I think his implied conclusion is probably

Shot you a message to the one in yours, though it might have gotten sent to spam. I'd throw a contact address up on my HN profile if I used a provider with something resembling decent spam-filtering, but I don't presently and I do

'tachyonbeam didn't ask. The most obvious one is AI. These things are incredibly parallel & entirely self-contained, and a consumer desktop PSU could power countless amounts of them without a second thought. At $2,000 for 10

Chuck Moore talked about it in a EuroForth interview a year or two ago; a company with a use in mind funded them, and he seemed really enthusiastic. They've updated the website a few different times since; that update is really recent.

They're making their second-generation chip right now, and I think there are a bunch of problems that this chip is an obvious solution for. Chuck Moore is bad at presentations to outside audiences. This should surprise no one familiar

So glad to see you in this thread; thanks for sharing! I've considered mailing you about Spring & Sun before (among other things: Blekko is also fascinating given how impressive it was, how much talent it had behind it, and then ho
