Geography has really started making the internet a lot less open... In the UK, I guess there's some kind of allowance for free access?

Nice - can't wait to see how it grows!

I think recounting how far YAML has come is actually really useful - props to the author for stating the case I think quite well!

If we couldn't make underwater datacenters work, I doubt it's half as easy to make space-based ones work.

China has a couple going at the moment.

Cobbled together with Clanker Claude over a few weekends, based on work I was doing on the RAPTOR project for automated vulnerability finding. Based on the CHEESECLOTH by Cueller et al. from USENIX '23 - https://www.usenix.org/conference/usenixsecurity23/presentat...

With a lot of disclosure chatter going around like it's 2000-and-great, perhaps we can utilise the cryptography of ZKPs and tlock cryptography to disclose bugs; I can prove the bug works in a zkVM, without anyone knowing the details of the exploit except those who have the keys. Then you can timelock it to reveal after disclosure period, or not... your choice. Either way, we can assess the risk and determine important facts about an exploit without ever diclosing it until required.

Aim - to upgrade the conversation around disclosure. It's the future, let's act like we have more options.

Update - put it on a site for folk to use: https://shadowcat.online/

I'm actually very impressed how many people are now playing with Zero Knowledge on HN... I put this out a week ago, and have seen many more popping up. Amazing!

So two parts to a reply - first is, you don't need the encryption per se, but you can add that in the case that you give it some key and then it's encrypted. I don't see the value unless you're using this to generate frames for a video, which isn't current functionality but totally doable.

Second part, Charlie Bennet said "the only entropy source is one you can trust" and the best entropy source is quantum fluctuations, so we built a fully open source phase diffusion QRNG at Quantum Village and released it. Link: https://github.com/QuantumVillage/EntropyLoop

There is a toggle where you can show what chunks have been received. This is also where the 'show specific chunk' function comes in... the receiver can see "oh, I'm only missing chunk 125, so just show me that" etc. etc.

This seems to get impressive results cross compiling models from torch (with vollo-torch) into FPGA friendly formats. Speedups look quite impressive...
