This empowers people making them feel less beholden to rising energy prices, and gives the data center more energy for its needs as the grid is freed up.
Been using ubuntu + regolith as my daily driver for over a year now and haven't needed to use windows for anything. Almost all games all work well on Linux now too.
Would love to port some of those game ideas to this platform when you open up the developer platform.
Current sections are: - Things to remember - List of 10 important quotes/mantras - What's on my mind - How am I feeling productivity/mood wise today - What do I most want to accomplish? - What would make today horrible? - Gratitude - Something Mundane, something that happened by chance, something I made happen
Most artists want to create beautiful art, it's a form of self expression. Creating art just for outputs sake without adding love seems cold and capitalistic.
So AI enhances and delivers what programmers want, and diminishes what artists want.
What if this leads to less of a cognitive workout over time vs having to manage everything yourself which increases dementia risk?
Always use an authenticator app or physical key, most sites that do SMS 2FA will then allow hackers to use it to bypass knowing your password.
Nobody refuses free government help even if they hate the government, just as no one pays extra taxes even if they love the government. The point is always to distribute their belief more widely so that everyone has to live with it.
In a few decades at our current rate we're going to see so many natural disasters and mass migrations that the general populace will be far more concerned about food and water for the populace than wasting it on extravagances like space, and then we may end up all dying on this rock.
Once we're able to successfully mine minerals from space and have some hope for colonizing other planets the game changes, because people could see it as a lifeline rather than a waste.
I posted this earlier (and it's in the article...) but will reiterate again: ZK proofs are used when the prover (server) and verifier (client) don't trust each other and don't want to give each other data on each other. If you trust the server you can just give it a copy of your passport, if the server trusts the client they can just show a checkbox asking if they're old enough.
I linked to a working library earlier, it's here https://github.com/zk-passport/openpassport
> And for the sake of this kindergarten discussion the hash is computed client-side - that's the whole point, so the server doesn't know your password. The hash is checked on the server side.
This is the exact thing I've mentioned 3 times already but you don't seem to grasp, you can't trust client side code! If you do trust the client then you don't need a proof, you may as well just have a popup that says "are you over 21?"
A rainbow table is just breaking the hash and then you may as well not have it.
- As you're still not getting it, how about this: This is a sha256 hash of my birthday, write a function that returns if I'm over 21: `1028d7ea22cbbcb17c4926b08b591506227d7b0e32ce6ce76122461e551a5ab2`
- Nothing I've mentioned needs an append only log, where are you even getting that from? A ZK proof is created from only the data stored on the passport chip.
The whole point of ZK proofs is the zero knowledge part. If you don't care about the person being able to see the information of course there's no need for them.
You haven't provided an alternative way though? If you're looking for more complicated things they can do see: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41430157
> Yeah you can, you log them in then link them to that userData with an identifier - typically an email address or unique user ID. You can easily write the login API to know nothing but hashes, or you can write it to respond with - to use your example that user's age - if the password is correct (without ever actually knowing the password).
This doesn't make sense, how do you verify someones age without getting their birthday? Hashes are binary yes/no checks, not range checks.
> Anybody can verify any document with enough identifying information about the document and a registry to match it up to.
So your alternate solution is that every government in the world runs an API you can check a passport against? Instead of them just providing a known public key they signed the passport with? Sounds way over complicated compared to a ZK proof.
One of the most obvious flaws of blockchains is that every node needs to re-run every transaction to know that the block is valid, leading to the same computation being run thousands of times.
Instead of having to do this there are new Layer2 chains like Polygon zkEVM or zkSync that post a compressed blob of transaction data and a ZK proof that all transactions in that data are valid according to the rules of the EVM. This makes the chain 1000x more efficient as the computation only needs to be run once and verified 999 times.
The proving is still slow and expensive which is why this isn't fully rolled out, but it's getting faster very quickly with both software improvements and custom ASICs for proving.
This is useful in the case of whistle blowing you can prove you do work at a company, or say a US Senator can show the government is up to no good and prove they are a senator without revealing who they are.
How do you verify the password meets certain requirements sever side without getting that user data? Client side input can't always be trusted as anyone can modify that regex check.
Here's a project doing passport verification for services without needing to send them a photo of your passport: https://github.com/zk-passport/openpassport
With something like TLS notary you can prove anything signed by a https certificate, so you can prove there are enough funds in your bank to get a mortgage without revealing how much money you have.
