Any realist assessment of the power structure in SK (in general, and much more so in the military) has to acknowledge the history and presence of US military in Korea.

The OP uses finite fields and fields are basically harmonic structures (think modular math). Assume the field is the numbers 0..n-1 MOD n. At (n-1) + 1 you will get n MOD n which is equivalent to 0 MOD n which is 0. Now assume n-1 approache

There is a word for that: a 'recording'. There is no observer thus no observation.

Another reading would see this "lawfare" narrative as a device to fool the citizenry. Both sides know they will get pardoned but by having "lawfare" give the impression (to the impressionable and propagandized public) th

Something really off imho with a food writer that manages to insert foul matter vulgarity into food reviews. It's moved beyond cute into the 'wonder what ails this guy' territory.

Good to know. But does that also mean that e.g. splitting the full output to n 256 chunks would mean there is correlation between the chunks? (I always assumed one could grab any number of bits (from anywhere) in a cryptographic hash.)

? If I use something like Blake3 (which is super fast and emits gobs of good bits) and encode a node with say 512 bits of the hash, you are claiming that somehow I am vulnerable to tampering because the hash function is fast? What is the pr

Theoretically they even have a better security environment (since it is internal and they control users, code base and network) so the consensus mechanism may not even require BFT.

what he actually said: "as long as the physical error probability ε is small enough" you can build a reliable system from unreliable parts. So it remains for you to show that AI.ε ~= QC.ε since JvN proved the case for a system mad
