It's mostly talking about the case where someone receives an encrypted message which is intended to later be published openly. If it was padded by adding stuff, an attacker can try to reconstruct the original plaintext by removing the

It's not just about the actual sound effects, it's also the writing. The movie clip the article uses as an anchor shows people using silencers to have a gunfight in public with bystanders having no idea it was happening. That&#x27

NP-complete is indeed the intersection of NP-hard and NP. If you can solve any NP-hard problem then you can solve any NP-complete problem (because you can convert any instance of an NP-complete problem to an NP-hard problem), so NP-hard pro

For 2/3, it does indeed work with fractions internally. For pi, it uses some floating point representation I think, you get about 50 digits.

Whether family names are more differentiated depends on where you live. The USA has a wide variety, but there are also places like Vietnam where only a handful of family names are in common use and more than 30% of people are Nguyens.

Not sure about the pageant part, but it's a major problem when connecting to a compromised server leaks the client's private key. (For example, if an attacker has compromised server A and you connect to it, they can now use your k

The search keyword to learn more is "post-quantum cryptography" RSA and ECC cryptography could be broken, but (with a probably rocky transition period) we could move to other algorithms which are still secure. Crytocurrency I&#x27

The thing they're they're reporting is that a CVE leaked and Bard found out about it before public disclosure. Except that it's false because Bard made it up. There's no real curl exploit involved.

I don't think anyone really expected antimatter to produce antigravity, but it had never been tested before so it was worth doing the experiment.

Or to put it another way, people waste 10% of their time on the web waiting for slow bloated garbage to load (or more when you take into account pages that do more loading when you touch them afterwards)

Sounds like they were testing it with a small enough amount of data that the disk version could just work from cache and didn't actually have to go to the disk

For me it's that I want the most inflexible leg of the trip first. I'll often get a local bus to a railway station then get a long distance train. The trains are infrequent and it's cheaper to book a specific train in advance

Browsers won't accept a certificate unless it comes with proof that it was submitted to a CT log. So a government could MITM you but they'd have to burn a CA to do it, whether you personally noticed the attack or not, so it's

To expand on one of those things - bike chains get slightly longer as they wear out. Once it's about 1% longer than it started, it looks about the same as it always did, but it's starting to damage the drivechain and you need to r

I agree, facebook could have saved themselves a lot of mockery and bad press by spending 0.01% of their VR budget on hiring some people who know how to make simple graphics look good.

It's a completely ridiculous list. The blogpost is about designing a 2 tap filter, not a CPU, so even if there wasn't a gate limit the design wouldn't have those things.

If you deliver checkmate, you lose. You have to instead force your opponent into a situation where they only have one legal move (which is trivially the best engine move).

My first naive counterthought is that if you try to do that then black can ignore your queen and use their queen to take your pieces. You're a move ahead but you don't get a snowballing advantage.

There is a downside - if you contest and you're wrong, you lose. The page doesn't say, but it's cheating to use an engine yourself to decide what move to make (or to decide whether to contest)

On Windows, when you Copy the program supplying the data decides whether to send the data to the clipboard manager straight away, or whether to defer. If it defers, then yes it does a "last call" on closing. If it crashes you lose
