Well, I've tried manually verifying the curve parameters and I don't trust this. * The generator isn't selected deterministically * The BLAKE3(seed) in the OpenFrogget code doesn't match what I get with Python & Java

And even with the constant `b=BLAKE("ECCFrog512CK2 forever")` there is an open question, while not as problematic as it is with the NIST & SEC curves, it's covered in "How to manipulate curve standards: a white paper

Right, but z/OS is part of a larger longer-running hardware strategy that, with virtualization, serves the needs of mixed-OS workloads and multi-decade tenures overseeing 24/7 systems. The corpse of OpenVMS on the other hand is be

With Claude 3.7 I keep having to remind it about things, and go back and correct it several times in a row, before cleaning the code up significantly. For example, yesterday I wanted to make a 'simple' time format, tracking Earths

That's a good question, what if it's 10 hours per year for 10 years? In that case, I'd probably choose first-aid & the basics of emergency medicine via a couple of half-day or a full-day course per year.

Fluid dynamics simulation with OpenCL, 100 hours is about 10-15 days of concerted effort. That's plenty time to get a grasp of the algebra behind it, get something simple running, port to OpenCL naively and start optimizing.

It's a shame that the `MISA` CSR is in the 'Privileged Architecture' spec, otherwise you could just check bit 21 for 'V', but that appears to only be available in the highest privilege machine-mode. Presumably your

Z3 is entirely different IMHO, once you get into solvers the question becomes not just 'is this satisfied' but 'what is the minimum sequence of steps necessary to arrive at the result'. I have relied heavily on both Z3 a

I'm really eager to see what happens in the near future with WAT & WASI, but I'm also very aware of seeing a repeat of DLL hell. There are a few niches where standardization of interfaces and discoverability will be extremely

As somebody who's in the process of building a sandbox for RISC-V 64 Linux ELF executables, even I'm still on the fence. The problem is that in WASM-land we're heading towards WASI and WAT components, which is similar to the

I agree, it's absolutely and entirely bullshit and is becoming an easy sloganism that you can bash around. Where "replacing developers, engineers, and scientist with AI" really is about 'doing more with less'... or.
