I think you are right, since it entails the Halting problem it is not computable and thus not even in NP.

by sean_pedersen 5y ago
Yes I am not aware of any proof on that one. Do you think it will suffice to generalize the statement to just "NP problem" instead?

Good input, added it to the TODO list.

I don't get how the additive solution does not require to understand the whole system and all it's interactions. If I place a jenga block I need to understand the static properties of the whole jenga tower to prevent collapse.

I got the most value out of studying deep theory and then applying that knowledge to real problems. That is just a rare combination for most courses in my experience to offer. Sadly most are of the form: study a lot by heart for the finals.

Oh I got a lot of value out of my degree. I enjoyed the theory the most. Trees, Graphs, Algorithmic Complexity and Artificial Intelligence are my deepest interests and I have studied the theory of them in depth. It is just that the way how

Glad you like it. Feel free to give some feedback, once you tried it out.

Interesting, I just realized I should market my project as a personal knowledge management system as well. Thanks a bunch! https://github.com/SeanPedersen/HyperTag

Would like to see more messaging services jump in on Matrix protocol. Signal would be huge.

I did not mean monopoly in the literal sense, just used it to express my feeling that a lot ends up flagged as spam that is not from these major corps servers.

Cool template! I just think you ticked too much off. This is my take: Your post advocates a (x) technical ( ) legislative ( ) market-based ( ) vigilante approach to fighting spam. Your idea will not work. Here is why it won't wo

Wait what? I thought major players like GMail, Microsoft etc. have some kinda "monopoly" on eMail because they are gatekeeping by using a strict white list.
84.
by sean_pedersen 6y ago
Than you will have many false positives.
85.
by sean_pedersen 6y ago
Thanks for the reference. But this misses out on another important tool already in use against spamming: White lists. Yes, in theory PoW makes mass mailing very expensive and thus directly hurts spammers that are not on the common anti-spam

by sean_pedersen 6y ago
OK after giving this idea a little bit more thought. This is the deal: PoW for eMail needs to come with a parameter that controls the amount of work (computation) done to find the PoW hash. This allows senders to choose on a continuous scal

by sean_pedersen 6y ago
If they add PoW to their malware, it will slow them down or even alert users / admins because of the high CPU usage it will cause.
88.
by sean_pedersen 6y ago
Yes pass it down to the user by computing eMail PoW client side if that is a concern for your business...
89.
by sean_pedersen 6y ago
Not every server needs to understand it. Only the ones wanting to participate. If you choose to filter by PoW and a server does not provide PoW, you will still receive all of its emails just flagged as spam. So email PoW roll out can work i
