Yampolsky perfectly articulates my thoughts on QC here:.

Not snarks for once:.Does someone know how the mechanism described in Section 2 here relates to known algorithmic stable coins?.The basic idea is there are dollars and bonds. Bonds generate dollars and expire. And whenever there are more dollars than.

An irritated rant: There's a million snark papers out there with some variant of - split your witness into a matrix, commit separately to each row, and then you can get various proof size verifier time tradeoffs for inner product, maybe by also doing it recursively. The original.

The amount of money and resources that will be spent switching to post quantum crypto because of these quantum computers that can only do random circuit sampling, i.e. can't compute anything. it's just so dumb, but it's a narrative you can't fight. Everybody is on board.

Just saw a new paper on eprint on understanding Lasso and saw it doesn't even cite Tassle. A good chance to repeat, Tassle is an incredibly readable (and optimized) variant of Lasso. It should get more attention .

Program looks really good!.

Personal opinion: If you're working with a programming language where you're waiting for an update that allows you to concatenate strings that might never come. besides for your personal entertainment and challenge, it's probably not the right place to verify snarks/starks.

This talk on EC plonk is wonderful - starting from plonk basics, explaining the main components of ecfft, and then how to get stuff needed for plonk - like a cyclic shift, when working with functions over the curve rather than field

mathematically speaking, is their a difference between a ponzi scheme like Madoff, and a fractional reserve bank? Don't both of them fail iff withdrawal requests are too large compared to deposits?.

This is great. The more people scrutinizing Aztec code the better.

aiui he hasn't been charged, rather they are investigating since August if there is grounds to charge him, and this suffices apparently for this travel restriction.

correction: according to the interview they allow him to make trips to Dubai, but each exit must be individually approved.

I didn't know Pavel Durov is not allowed to leave France!

Part of my attraction to bitcoin was because of this thought my account balance in a bank is just a number in a database that can be editted e.g. to 0. But, actually, does someone have a good reference for how banks store account balances and what are the security measures?.

RT @haralabob: He has a boarding pass and the agent is talking over him like he doesn't even exist. Poor guy.

I understand the concerns around it, and maybe it is defeatist, but I think it's futile to fight with how language naturally evolves.
