I'm curious about the 10x via implementation in Go - couldn't it have been realized otherwise? Finding the hotspots, reimplementing them using better algorithms, if necessary move a few critical paths to native etc. Or…
That's not my experience - I've found a handful of accepted and verified bugs in major commercial compilers and all were in the codegen/backend, and the code to be generated was quite simple. In one case it was…
Around 10 years ago I found a JIT bug in a JDK from a big Java vendor. A new version of a web application server had been applied. The production application crashed after around 30 minutes of running, almost…
I agree - I don't know what field it formally is, but computer science it is not. It is also related to information retrieval aka "Google skills", problem presentation, 'theory of mind', even management and psychology.…
Agreed - I've worked with PKI in many years, and know why the various systems work...in terms of "why you can decrypt again", not in terms of why it is secure (no other way to decrypt) which no one really knows. But if…
I feel exactly the same, and have also implemented it backwards and forwards. I've thought about it in my sleep, trying to recall how it REALLY works. Happens every few years ;-) I always thought it was probably obvious…
Probably what was built was a Fusor. There's tons of instructions how to build one (https://fusor.net/board/) and seemingly there's a lot of focus on how "young" the builders of such are. Just google: fusion reactor…
Yes the whole tone of voice is typical of LLM's as well.
I don't think so. Consider "It didn’t just attempt to guess the chosen animal but also learned from its mistakes, adding new questions and answers to its knowledge base. What’s more, it had the ability to save progress…
In two places the article states that the original game had the ability to save the updated tree ("it had the ability to save progress and load it during the next run" and "It is an amazing example... of how, even with…
I think it’s very human to be curious about the cause, but it can also be inappropriate, though some ways are more harmful than others. I've seen people ask very direct questions where it seemed their real interest was…
The size/computational complexity of usage also only grows as a polynomial with RSA. But even with this in mind, a quantum computer that can crack in polynomial time is still problematic. While you can increase the key…
I still see a lot of RSA especially for encryption. While ECC can be used for encryption it is more convoluted and much less supported in hardware, software etc. than RSA decryption/encryption.
The performance of this can matter in some scenarios. In embedded systems, smart cards etc., generating the primes can take a significant amount of time (15-20 seconds typical) even with the 'low' number of iterations.…
