I guess it was misjudgement saying Trump is smart for doing so, when he could just… not start a war and tried other disruptions instead.

I did want to ask if war is going to end and Trump is getting away with it, but decided to go one step too far (maybe for virality? Dumb me again)

So much for me believing there is truly no stupid questions.

Is this opinion piece implying that quantum computing researchers should stop researching because current quantum computers are currently less than proof of concept? Is technology supposed to be fully mature from the beginning?

I don’t think this is matter of mathematics, it is difficult to define what “software only running on desired machine” is. Like, do you permit functionally equal software with different code? With painstaking effort, functionality should be approximated fairly close (although idk what that means in mathematical context) On the other hand, requiring exact code is likely not what they want.

Cryptographic guarantee requires mathematical specification, which seems ill-fit in this scenario.

The article seems to be saying that Microsoft is losing favor of investors, not that they began losing money or something.

Don’t get me wrong, I would love Microslop to fall down, but… I do not get how failing to satisfy finicky slop-loving investors is “death to Microsoft”.

I learned that QC can be used for general search problems, so it could get used for more efficient web browsing, etc. But those are relatively more difficult tasks, I guess.

Huh, interesting that pop could be realized this time.

Thank goodness I decided not to venture in those links. I hate people with agendas to manipulate others.

I don’t think Signal trusts the AWS server either, that’s the point of E2EE encryption.

I am realizing I were only good at tests… So sad that I am one of the dumbest and just managed to fool some people with grades. But that does not help with real life.

It really looks like this is getting to the end. Somewhat paradoxically, I am on the edge on the issue, nearly being forced to join the LLM hype. I think this is the indicator.

Gotta see what remains after bubble pops.

It lists no alternative to actual(-budget) :( I don’t have time to create my own alternative, maybe I should go back to spreadsheets?

Since reward system does not work for me, instead I punish myself whenever I could not finish tasks in time. I do not deserve any rewards anyway. Dunno why I feel so miserable…

IMHO, although it is hard to solve, it is neither brilliant nor profound - rather, it is misleading. It relies on a simple and common trickery involving multiple of 3, which is easy to see through for those with mathematical intuition. Of course many do not practice math, so it is seemingly interesting for them, but it’s not much.

Please please please do not bork this one, I don’t want to abandon another game I love. Hopefully it’s not like KSP 2 or Cities Skylines 2

Exactly, C++ is what came to my mind when I saw this. Some people don’t put references??

Security by obscurity does not work, because people are only so creative up to a point. Hence, there are only handful of configurations for the attacker to try out.

This contrasts to e.g. 128-bit secure encryption, which involves trying 2^128 times to break it - which is a number with whopping 38 zeros. It takes 10^22 years to break it with trying at 1GHz rate. It is simply incomparable, and adding a few bits of security by obscure combination is simply not worth it.

Yet, so many people and organizations seem to prefer obscurity to actual security.

Oh, do you happen to be a physicist or an analyst?

Same. Maybe I… gasp… like trains?

I wonder if we can really trust the TEEs. Isn’t it their hardware where they are quite free to do what they want? Also it looks very vulnerable to the side-channel attacks.
