The non-trivial part here is actually the source data (the dict file.) It is also its pitfall - after adding 5 for S you should see a lithany of plurals. Most dict files (for English anyway) however seem to omit plural nouns. I guess the lo

For clarity, let's assume the hospital stores its records in plaintext. For the pharma company, the hospital encrypts the patient records with a secret key. Now they let the pharma company run their homomorphic algorithm and send the v

Sorry but I still fail to see how that would be a problem, since the output of the program (e.g. the ML model parameters) would themselves not be intelligible to you. To make _any_ (non-cryptanalytical) inference on the plaintext of the hom

Yeah, I don't think this will work on commercial scale exactly for the same reasons as blockchain is useless for anything outside the illegal niches where you need to avoid the legal banking system. You may let people store homomorphic

The way I have understood FHE is that any algorithm that would operate on the data would, by definition, be unable to produce any result that was intelligible to anyone except the person holding the original key. At no point during the exec

All the domains have an invalid TLS certificate. Now, it would be very interesting to see the process for actually obtaining a valid certificate for one of these. Anyone know if there are reasons one could not be obtained?

Elop gets lots of shit for his role in this but to be fair, he was just the front man. The real power was with the board and in particular the ex-CEO Jorma Ollila. It was the board who hired Elop and it was the board who weighted and eventu

Section 6.3 claims that the excess deaths coincide with vaccinations. Looking at the graph, I don't buy that there is a clear correlation - for example there is no marked effect for the second shot.

That's 110g or one full pot of strong drip filter coffee per day. I think I typically drink 60g on a workday and 30g on a weekend day for an average of ~50g/day. I believe you, but you do drink quite a bit of coffee I must say!
