On: Tell HN: Perfect – not statistical – ZKP for Kolmogorov complexity

[seccode]

There is a well-known paper related to a statistical zero-knowledge proof about Kolmogorov complexity, but this proof introduced is considered a perfect ZKP

On: Microsoft unveils Majorana 1 quantum processor

[seccode]

I think I heard that 77 was factored as well

On: QwQ: Alibaba's O1-like reasoning LLM

[seccode]

Maybe truth here, but also Microsoft didn't lead their latest round, which isn't a great sign for their moat

On: Ask HN: How are you using LLMs?

[seccode]

Contract law research

On: Compressor "firn" improves ZSTD by 13%

[seccode]

This is a direct comparison to zstd with a dictionary actually

[seccode → seccode]

Methodology for comparison: train zstd dictionary on enwik9. Then build my dictionary as most common words in enwik9. Mine does 13% better because of the way I discovered how you can generate dictionary replacement symbols

[seccode]

Syracuse airport. You're telling me just because there's 2 feet of snow on the runway that you can't fly?

On: The digits of pi are not random

[seccode]

I used the z-score. How can you claim that the digits of pi are random, yet a random forest classifier predicted better than the distribution probability. Your claim implicitly means "there is no structure." The hard thing to understand is that the classifier didn't see the test set, so what structure did it learn? At the very least this is an interesting question

On: New vulnerability in sha256

[seccode]

This doesn't _break_ sha256, just opens the door to breaking sha256 with machine learning

[Havoc → seccode]

Just is did NSA and friends already slip through the door

On: Ask HN: What are the biggest issues inside SW dev teams?

[seccode]

Old people not listening to young people

[dudul → seccode]

Young people who think they already know everything better than their seniors :)
