Could the website also make it clearer that you need a GPU to contribute!

“How does progress subscription work — are agents watching specific signals (test failures, TODO list, build status), or just a global feed?”

The AIM-9X is infrared imaging based rather than heat signature based. The pilot resolves that contrast between the object and sky before firing the missile and missile targets the object based on the image.

One inaccuracy in this article is that BUSD( Binances stable coin) is issued by Paxos which is a New York State Bank.

Forcing Tether to become a bank would be interesting...

This work is continuing at Agoric https://agoric.com/.

It was also the inspiration for the Cosmos IBC protocol. https://github.com/cosmos/ics/blob/master/ibc/2_IBC_ARCHITEC...

Seems like that is a link to a Tesla article?

Tor doesn't support UDP so no HTTP/3 but one would expect most services would be available for the foreseeable future over HTTP/2 as well.

Thanks! This is actually useful information.

It's impossible to defend the lack of generics in golang in the face of the fact that two of the larger open source projects both invented their own generics implementations.

NSL can't require to collect new business records. They can only compel you to disclose business records that you already have.

This is beyond the legal authority of an NSL.

It's hard to evaluate the security of a flippant comment but there is clearly a security benefit of live BFT system vs a non-BFT system.

You would need to compromise 2/3rd of the keys in the genesis block. But yes but this tradeoff unlocks massively high transaction throughput.

I prefer if people differentiate between systems with a PKI and systems without a PKI.

Systems without a PKI like PoW or PoET can be rather centralized like Bitcoin today or decentralized like Bitcoin before the emergence of mining pools.

Systems with a PKI can have an onchain PKI like Cosmos. One of the challenges in an on chain PKI system is you need some of kind social pre-consensus on launch. The crowdfunding established an part of an initial pre-consensus but there are more moving pieces coming.

Tendermint is a BFT algorithm implementation and state machine replication system. The app(state machine) can implement a proof of stake protocol.

Proof of stake functionality is provided by the cosmos sdk which is under development.

Because someone needs to show you a valid set of transitions in the PKI from the original keys in the genesis block to the current attacker controlled PKI.

In a BFT protocol based cryptocurrency, an attacker who acquired 2/3rds of the tokens in the network would be able to double spend at will and censor transactions to gain control of more of the network.

They would not be able to rewrite past history.

The only response to an attack would be hard fork.

The point of this format to push data over the wire in a format that is both semantically richer and authenticatable using techniques like object-hash. This gets us to one true unambiguous representation of the data which you need for redactable signatures and rich credentials.

Here are my experiences with Cayley. 100% positive for building graph microservices.

1. Use Cayley as a library 2. Put metadata in separate nodes.

I'm surprised that Google decided that microsat imaging market was a distraction. It seems very high potential and synergistic with Google's other space based endeavors.

What should happen is either

- A shared key should be passed over the e2e text channel and used as part of the DTLS setup. I'm unclear if this actually a possibility in WebRTC.

- Each side can send a fingerprint of the peers public key to each other over the text channel and the software can authenticate there is no MITM

Can I use this to enumerate LTE base stations? i.e. find Stingrays?

There is some awesome reusable bits here for embedding V8 in a rust application.[0]

I wish the build process was documented somewhere instead of just distributing binaries but it isn't shocking that it is probably a pretty complicated environment to setup.

Vuvuzela seems great except your anonymity is guaranteed by a set of high availability and capacity servers.

Those servers need to independently operated and resistant to global compromise.

We don't really have a good template for a system like this. We have centralized HA systems and decentralized high churn systems like Bittorrent and Tor.

I've been intrigued by the observation that forthcoming "proof of stake" blockchain systems have very similar requirements in terms of availability and capacity to anonymous messaging systems. I wonder if we can use the nodes in a PoS system to bootstrap an anonymity system like Vuvuzela.

This post was also extensively discussed back then. It is a classic but yeah 2014 belongs in the title.

It's interesting that encrypted messaging has exploded since 2014 but spam has not yet become that much of a problem.

You can use a "blockchain", an enforcer of security deposit against double spending rather than as the raw double spend prevention mechanism.[0]

Does entropic gravity explain the lensing phenomenon attributed to dark matter?

Have you seen http://www.scion-architecture.net/?

TCP/IP and Ethernet were decentralized alternatives both from a design and IP licensing point of view. But the unresolved technical debt at the transport layer is major centralizing force on the Internet right now.
