Exactly, so [0]_3 = [3]_3 = [6]_3 = ... (and here these are indeed equalities inside Z/3Z because these are equalities of sets and not just equivalences). And for that reason, we take the "best" or canonical representative of

I love this topic and look forward to reading the next articles, but I suggest not saying two numbers are "equal" mod N. I would say they are "equivalent" mod N and maybe point out the broader insight: Equality is often

I really recommend Professor Gilbert Strang's linear algebra course and also would check out any Michael Penn videos, both on YouTube, but for linear algebra, the Strang/MIT course is the best resource anywhere that I know. The Gi

What you want is to guard at the outset of each API call is the same thing -- whether the user is not suspended, active, any other number of things (including more things as you add more functionality), so you want to shift the entire valid

Hey, an article right up my alley! AI infrastructure/tools engineer here (hic-ai.com); my flagship product, HIC Mouse, is a precision-editing system for coding agents designed to work across a wide array of models and harnesses. Mouse

So basically there are two plausible explanations: 1. Someone with early access to Mythos leaked it to the bad guys. 2. Cybercriminals are getting enough mileage out of alternatives to Mythos to create exploits far more quickly, even though

I disagree that the title "hides" that the title was small and that it disappeared for two weeks. The surviving contingent on the E. americana strain was evaluated for 60 days, and the tumor doesn't look particularly small ba

I always felt a little duped whenever I tried coding in TypeScript. You get zero runtime type safety guarantees, plus it's often harder to tell in TypeScript whether the transpilation will result in an efficient and performant implemen

ChatGPT is completely unplayable at chess on its own. It's unable to keep track of the state of the chess position and therefore will make an illegal move within about 10-12 moves. I would put GPT-5.5's rating at 400, since it can

I don't think Fargate fits for the use case they are describing. If you're running your own (trusted) code, then of course there's no reason to worry about containment threats. But the threat here is that you have to execute

Docker doesn't provide any security. You install Docker on your local laptop, and the container you spin up when you execute `docker run` interacts with your laptop's kernel directly. It provides logical isolation between containe

Ok, I was curious enough to read look into this, but it makes no sense under the hood. The idea is essentially that: 1. Supply-chain problems affect the Rust ecosystem arguably even worse than npm. 2. `stdx` extends Rust by adding some oth

Cool article! I'm working on a tangentially related issue requiring microVMs inside isolated infrastructure environments. Latency isn't really my main priority, but I am always tempted by any option to minimize attack surface. I w

This is so cool; I wonder what the roadmap includes? I'd love to see if this could evolve from gag product/gift idea, to a solar-powered inference box on slightly more robust hardware, for instance, completely freeing the owner fr

For a superb explanation of Niven's proof (which leaves more questions than answers when you first read it), I like Michael Penn's video: https://youtu.be/dFKbVTHK4tU?is=d2DbV5HDP0IpP9tA ....notwithstanding the le

Very nice research. The strangest detail to me is that alignment and test performance appear to be slightly negatively correlated: Better alignment can indeed be attained through pre-training, but at a cost of degraded performance of about

Right. Put differently, we have that FPSan() is a well-defined function, so [ f = g ] => [ FPSan(f) = FPSan(g)], but we need to show that FPSan() is injective, i.e., [ FPSan(f) = FPSan(g) ] => [ f = g ]. I confess I haven't looke

The bottom line is that AI is genuinely useful at prototyping new features, acting as a sounding board, and generating quick initial drafts, even if the quality isn't uniformly excellent. It seems plausible to conclude that it will onl

Nice article! I'm a fan of removing any dependencies on external libraries and writing my own solution from scratch, but there's a good reason why I decided not to do so with Tailwind: They offer an optimization for production tha

I agree with explicit parentheses but please be careful about assuming associativity! The risk when handling floating-point arithmetic in particular is that associativity breaks, and suddenly a + (b + c) does NOT equal (a + b) + c. Not only

I'm sure you're right. Across tens (hundreds?) of thousands of institutions worldwide, each one is exercising its well-written incident runbook that not only gets updated regularly but also is rehearsed constantly, just in case so
