It's an appeal to the attention economy. "All of human cooking compressed into 2 MB" is(mentally) palatable relative to "Navigating the Emergent Geometry of Food Ingredient Embeddings". Getting you to click is the u

This is the final phase of solving discrete logarithm problems where our goal is to convert a big integer into a product of small prime numbers over our factor base. Information is scant about the process so in the spirit of "name-and-

The Gauss Sieve is a pretty neat algo for generating (lots of) short vectors from a lattice basis. It's super useful when LLL and BKZ fail to generate a specific short vector that you know exists within your lattice.

This is the first C job I've encountered in the "Who's Hiring" thread. I applied with my C transpiler sideproject and my substack samples that show programmers how to turn math papers into C code.

OP takes issue with GitHub's constant outages and alludes to agents (and Copilot bloat) as the primary cause. Lots of big services are like this. Google Colab's 'Connect to Drive' is down as we speak. I'm up right n

The junior hiring collapse is all so bizarre. I graduated recently and my career prospects are jarringly limited. I thought I'd go back for a Masters/PhD but then Trump mercurially defunded lots of STEM grad programs. Ngl, I found

Odd anecdote. I completed high school in 2017 and my home country demanded us use mathematical tables, not calculators, to find logs and sines for our version of SAT math. I got my highest-paying numerical programming contract (in the US) j

This comment put everything into perspective. I can't name anything beyond Facebook, Instagram or Whatsapp that Meta's created and I've used in the past 10 years. I've never even (knowingly) used the LLama models tbh.

We introduce the Hidden Number Problem with Chosen Errors (HNP-CE), a variant of the linear hidden number problem where the exact noise terms (βi) are unknown but shared across different relations with known weights(w).

It's so bizarre how OP was downvoted. It's a truth. History repeats itself. It's not the first war. It's not the last war. Maybe his (or her) tirade on capitalism annoyed the HN downvoting shoggoth.

Does Stripe use Railway? The dashboard was down today and this is the only incident report I've encountered and the timeline matches Stripe's downtime.

It's super nit-picky of me to point out: the double and add visualization is a meme among professional elliptic curve guys. You are in fact drawing a hyperbola between points on an (almost) circular plane. However, you won't find

My PhD advisor demanded I use Julia for my dissertation. Back then I was a junior programmer so Julia's one-based indexing absolutely threw me off. In retrospect, the PhD experience was miserable and using Julia contributed to my &#x27

The hidden number problem (HNP) is the challenge of recovering a secret hidden number given partial knowledge of its linear relations. The extended hidden number problem is 'the HNP but with more holes'. It was thought to be more

The GLV endomorphism is a neat math trick for fast scalar mutliplication on Elliptic curves. Funfact the GLV patent expired in 2020 and finally added to Bitcoin's public repo.
