On an unrelated note, I imagine this can solve recaptchas and other simple non-visual challenges. Can I make ACT-1 Sybil a few thousand people on mechanical turk? Can I submit CVs with ACT-1 for entry-level full remote jobs and have it work

This seems like a fundamental problem, if you store a secret locally, you can read it locally. I was skeptical/curious how Windows's Credential Manager could have gotten around that, but Stackexchange says this ( https:/&#x2F

That is not true, to the point it'd be fun to make a contest where each line has to look simple, but the result is hard to understand or easy to misunderstand. Sort of like the underhanded C code contest, but optimizing for simple part

It feels so suboptimal to need the C toolchain to do things, but having no solid way to depend on it as a non-C library (especially annoying in Rust, which insists on building everything from source and never installing libraries globally).

True! Apologies for the mistake :)

Has anyone made FFI bindings so we can write kernel modules in PHP yet? I mean all this push for "Rust in the kernel" is nice and all, but do we really need fancy things like "transitive equality"? They have played us fo

In some respects this is simpler than the current scheme. You don't have the SuperSpeed+ Gen 2x1 and Gen 1x2 variations, which are both the same X Gbps nominal speed, except one uses an older less efficient encoding than the other and

Plugging it into your local libgen/scihub equivalent is left as an exercise to the reader Nothing that can't be done in principle, just hard/tedious engineering

IANAL, but my understanding is HIPAA applies to covered entities , i.e. medical professionals. Google can use the defense that somewhere in the TOS it probably says you agree to share everything with them when it goes to cloud storage. HIP

I wouldn't really say that it doesn't care about information security. The DNA is actually pretty well protected, tightly wound inside the nucleus, which has pretty strong access control checks on what can enter and what can leave

I think you underestimate how good the immune system is! And where the best cost/benefit security tradeoffs are, because security is always a tradeoff. (The most secure system is a dead system) The body is constantly exposed to pathoge

Storing the list is the easy part. I have a usb drive that can store the list. You want people to agree on which chain is the main chain, so that you can only add things to the list, and you can't go back or substitute it with another

It depends what you want to get out of your study of the mind. Art can be a goal in and of itself. It, however, has historically contributed less to the success of medicine than furthering our understanding of biology. So, I have a pretty n

Software is made of human ideas molded into grammar, syntax, and abstractions. We know how to work with those at every level. The mind is made of and affected by proteins, enzymes, small molecules. Those form cells, and larger structures, b

I don't know how sophisticates the streaming/prefetch/access pattern prediction the 2002 cpus did was. I'm speculating, but if that's not modeled, cachegrind may pessimize some less simple predictable patterns and r

k3s will run on a $5 droplet happily. If you want k8s for the yaml and not for the heavy-duty hyperscale redundancy, k3s works great

Human review is pretense, it costs more to do anything else. A human is told to process these as fast as possible, so the issue can be resolved. With these incentives, it wouldn't be reasonable to actually watch the videos in question.

They must have fixed it, I buy a lot of stuff on bandcamp and I've only entered my card once. The only friction is waiting a few second per track for them to prepare my 12 flac downloads, clicking through payment only takes a second or

I really had to go and disable that. I use a lot of tabs, I switch between them often, and a few of them stay open for a while I have tree style tabs so my tabs are all already ordered in a vaguely meaningful way, but the recent use order o

That's the syscall instruction (0f 05). It's not jumping to that address, it's injecting the exit syscall right under the instruction pointer. If you wanted to modify the register, you'd do `set $rip = 0x050f` without

Maybe they need to spin up a few dozen more VMs on EC2 to handle all of the couple thousand visitors a second HN is throwing at them. It's more scalable, you see, you just need to wait until the wave has passed before the autoscaler is

So, if I understood correctly, the article seems to say 'learning with errors' problems are now found to be efficiently solvable by quantum algorithms. However, I seem to remember that many NIST post-quantum crypto algorithms are

Is it possible, even it principle, that some of these exotic hadrons could be long-lived (let alone stable)? They're probably interesting to study on their own, but the engineering instinct is to want to build something out of them, or

Since the distance between two galaxies isn't made of stuff, it's allowed to 'expand faster than light'. There's other examples of the same thing, and we know how to do it. But it can't be used for anything use

They sound a lot more trustworthy to me for owning up to it and spelling it out literally. That makes it sound like an isolated incident that they're able to recognize as a problem publicly. When a company does a standard "we take

Has there been any feedback/communication with forges happening, on or off-list? I'm curious how closely (if at all) they've been following this effort

I don't see how a fixed-frequency crypto core would be susceptible to the same attack, assuming proper constant-time cryto code. This attack exploits the fact that cycles are not constant time, so although crypto primitives are constan
