Make the proof from LLMs with the same constraints as human mathematicians have:

The proof must be as succinct as possible so that it's reviewable. It's ok for the same LLM to publish repeatedly, but it's not Ok to drop a bulk 600kb Lean proof.

The proof must build on other works that are similarly bite sized and published before (so that it's incrementally reviewed)

The proof must be published as soon as fully formed, and not in bulk like current LLMs proofs.

How surprising !

Re:Google Public CA is down on Wednesday February 18, 2026 @05:53AM (#47059678)
that's roughly 1/45th probable downtime window = 2.22% downtime probability (yeah, it's a figure not a real proba ;-) )

compared to say, roughly 1/365 probable downtime window for a 398 days cert lifetime = 0.25% downtime probability

let's pray you don't need to rotate when it's down...

Dan Geer famously said: "Dependency is the root cause of risk"...

PS: even stricter shortlived durations in some context:

Internal/Private 1 – 7 days Corporate VPNs, Internal apps

Ephemeral 5 mins – 1 hour Docker containers, CI/CD runners

You're advocating for going the way of dystopian china?

Gee... Those who trade privacy for security will get neither (and deserve none?)

Thank you sooo much for making this happen! very happy here

I didn't find the GitHub project for bufstream... Any clue?
Given the uptake of FastAPI and FastHTML, is there any plans for these on top of Flask?
Passion, focus.... Just like tech.
What are other equipments similar to this one but different?

There seems to have many GPS location trackers on the market, are they all based on the same hardware?

Excellent composite quote:

Is there a fastapi equivalent?
Re:Why are we being DDoSed by Cloudflare? on Saturday December 02, 2023 @01:41AM (#38496489)
Well they certainly can’t feel good about not detecting egress DDoS from their customer usage.

It could be VPN originating or maybe Worker originating maybe?

Don’t they have a security.txt and security@ email address?

Looks like posting to social media the full analysis of the attack is the sensible thing to do.

Re:Things We Always Remind Ourselves While Coding on Friday November 24, 2023 @06:33PM (#38409562)
Excellent !

I learned some things. I'll consider making posters of this ;-)

Great, congrats!

What's the equivalent in python?

So what's the rationale behind this data?

They got so much better at advising startups?

Startups are being insulated for real world truth eg. Due to too much funding?

Data is corrupted?

What's written is quite right, but is quite short ;-)

I was expecting a bit more "Then what" (the rest of the website is okayish).

One thing that also is important is: luck in timing, mass in market.

You can be as daring as you want, if you don't come at the right time for the market, and if the market is not sizable enough, then your effort will be fruitless.

No, it would mean for Firefox developers that it's illegal to have feature that can disable the EU member state certificates.

Such crypto backdooring failed in the past, so they're trying to go after the weakest link they can think of. In this case, software publishers.

You obviously didn't have to deal with the misuse of security, "for the children" pretext for interception, and crypto scare attempts...

Yes, there are too much ill conceived attempts against security that in the end will hurt everyone. It's disappointing to see it coming from EU.

Which is great because being an awesome tree for bowmaking, nobody cares if you harvest a few straight stave: On the contrary people will say "Good, you're removing these" :-)

Plus they give excellent liquid yellow honey and you can make yummy perfumed donuts with their flowers.

But yeah, it's a pain to get rid of: even if cut, they will regrow nearly endlessly and their thorns are so pointy and durable that they routinely kill tires...

School of self learning with open source.

Sorry if it's half a joke, because of course it's not a school per se, but that's the best source for me of great programmers I've seen in my 30+ years dev hiring experience (usually as CTO).
