It's not really any additional protection...how are you going to break a token? I've encountered this a few times on other sites, have to waste a few seconds messing around in my about:config.

These are all polynomial equations, so we can likely solve them by computing a Grobner basis over the set and using the Elimination Theorem.

I'm very glad people are speaking up about this. This is horrifying. Good job on stopping the process when you felt uncomfortable, we should all be doing this.

Definitely not. Here's a nice algorithm that will actually compute the embedding as well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fáry's_theorem . However straight line embeddings by Fary's theorem can sometimes be

Although I don't know for sure, I believe Borges' short story The Zahir [0] refers to Tipu in his usual convoluted way. >In 1832, on the outskirts of Bhuj, Taylor heard the following uncommon expression used to signify madness

This is a great point, and I address it at the end of my post. The basic idea is that freedom shouldn't be limited to people who 1) have the technical knowledge to do all this and 2) have the time to set up such an environment. Freedom

Yes, I agree that cheating should be curbed. But not at the expense of tracking every running application on a computer, or the exact location of interviewees. Videochat and on-site interviews exist and don't have these kind of problem

My best guess is n^3:n^3-n, making the answer 60, but I have no idea what the real answer is.

In particular, a good challenge is the 2-state solution. Decrease the number of states to 2 and try figuring out the rules (toggle "Instructions") that make the 2-state Busy Beaver. 1-state is somewhat trivial, 3-state isn't

Unfortunately Ras Bodik is no longer at Berkeley, so it's unlikely it'll be offered again.

Okay so to fix mine: create a circuit that decrypts a ciphertext using the private key, returning 1, 0, or Bottom depending if it's an encryption of spam marking or not, or not valid, and run it through iO. So both solutions still requ

What? With FHE the client just gets an additional encrypted metadata that is the encryption of whether the attached file is spam or not. No looping required, whereas your functional encryption scheme seems to necessitate the client being &

by quantumtremor 10y ago
The problem with functional encryption is as you say, you need to hand over the "function" somehow to the server (presumably they use machine learning and tools that aren't feasible client-side), and there's no guarantee

I'm not a mathematician but I'd say no since trig functions inherently require a lot more math to formulate, whereas Euclid's proof follows from much simpler facts.

I think you need some sort of input validation on the length/size of the text. Is the application just throwing everything away if it's too large?

This is really great. A few thoughts -Did you have any trouble with the sockets library? -I saw you explicitly mentioned "plane_distance", so are you planning on adding Haversine distance or something else? -Maybe make the map tak

My first guess was RedHat. From skimming through https://www.redhat.com/en/services/training/all-courses-exam... , it seems all of the courses use open source software, that might not be libre. For example I&#

So why not accept a lambda? I saw that http://stackoverflow.com/questions/334851/print-the-code-whi... gives you the source, though I'm not sure if it'll always work. This does work though: ~ λ echo

But is laziness that important for a graphing library where presumably you'd be graphing the function anyway? I guess there are some cases where one of the other options would disable the y-axis or something, but this seems pretty rare

> aes(x='np.log(B - A)') I never understood the pattern of putting source code in a string. Why not just use np.log(B - A) directly and configure the function to accept columns? With strings you lose highlighting, semantic anal

Glad to hear improvements to the shell ipython interface, especially up/down arrows on pasted code. The most interesting part of this for me is that IPython 6 will not support Python 2. >Projects such as Matplotlib and SymPy plan to
