If I recall (too lazy to check) folks made slight improvements to Perelman's work and published it in mainstream journals, satisfying the "qualifying outlet" requirement.
Sorry, I did not specify the threat model. If I git push to an encrypted volume on a virtual server, like on Linode or Digital Ocean, anyone with access to the hardware can inspect unencrypted data on a live volume.
A much easier hack by their agents would be on their own systems, but I doubt we'll ever see an external message board full of openAI agents discussing their hacking of their own system. OpenAI not protecting itself…
Now that the revolution has apparently started, does anyone know of a version control system which uses encrypted storage? (I'm not concerned about performance, for I will use it for small projects only.)
Concerning [5], the article says he was rejected at UC Santa Barbara. Haven't checked in a while, but I believe UCSB historically accepts 40-50% of first time applicants. The schools were not using SAT scores at the…
Attorneys commonly do this.
I bought a motherboard from Newegg in late 2024. It came with 16GB of RAM as a free "gift". The same RAM goes for $534 on Newegg today. It was $437 in January. Prices are still creeping up for this "throwaway" memory. I…

Storage and memory prices are so outrageous that I'm "discovering" multiple old hard drives in my basement that I will be using for backups soon. I'm lucky that my son asked for a "gaming" machine for Christmas in 2024,…
College is the last and only place most kids (United States) will ever be academically challenged. It would be scary to live in a world where this is not available.

In the Matrix movies you can upload complex knowledge to a person in seconds. If LLMs could help with this even a little it would be useful. But alas, people like myself who are slow learners still get overwhelmed when…
Libraries have been renting non-books for a long time. Different communities have different needs. It's not a big deal. Some libraries in the Los Angeles area lend sewing machines, bike tools, and other useful stuff.…
That narrows it down to about 50 countries :)
I used Mathematica on a NeXT computer back in 1991. It was a beautiful machine to work on. I did a student project where I simulated the flow of the boundary of a plane region over time (like how the shape of a drop of…

Actually, I'm running the backports kernel which is at 7.0 today. $ uname --kernel-release 7.0.10+deb13-amd64 If you run stable, Debian backports takes care of a lot of the popular stuff. Kernels, kernel modules,…

New Honda Accord hybrids do not include a spare tire. The manufacturers copied the idiocy.
Can you say a little more about what you mean by "better"? How much faster is editing?
"juniors are useless": Maybe y'all should consider updating this hyberbolic language. Nobody is born a "senior developer", so surely all of your training as a "junior" is not useless. There is always a disconnect…
The one math majors joke about is Serra’s A Course in Arithmetic, which is definitely not for young children.
