The Q-Day Prize submission demonstrates a classical attack on ECDLP using uniform random noise, not a quantum attack. The submission's results are reproducible without any quantum hardware.
DeepSeek-V4 is live, offering cost-effective 1M context length with rivaling performance to top closed-source models. It features enhanced agentic capabilities, rich world knowledge, and world-class reasoning.
I’m a Ph.D student of Physics/Cosmology at Shahid Beheshti University. I have also been an animation engineer in the game industry since 2012. You may find some of my works on my GitHub. Here I share some of the ideas and techniques of using Blender during my research in cosmology. Although these are specifically used in cosmology, I am confident that similar ideas apply to other areas of ...
The author, a software developer, has decided to abandon desktop app development in favor of web apps due to their superior sales, ease of development, and customer support. The author's experience with Bingo Card Creator, a desktop app turned web app, has shown that web apps offer better conversion rates, lower customer support costs, and more opportunities for experimentation and improvement.
Rotating long-lived keys is crucial to manage the risk of someone guessing a key correctly over time, and ephemeral keys can sidestep this pain. Reducing long-lived keys also allows for more focused security efforts, easier infrastructure hardening, and better maintenance of sensitive infrastructure.
FusionCore is a ROS 2 sensor fusion SDK combining IMU, wheel encoders, and GPS into one reliable position estimate. It uses self-tuning noise covariance and is a drop-in odometry source for Nav2.
The user had a good experience with Claude Code initially but encountered issues with poor quality responses and unhelpful customer support. They eventually cancelled their account due to scaling problems and poor handling of new customers.
You're developing a language with immutable data structures and a new syntax feature called "alt" for reassigning variables without mutation. This allows for succinct updates of deeply nested data without changing the original structure.
This is the combined work of @icculus @madebr @glebm @jayschwa @ccawley2011 and me rounding it off with stability fixes and missing features, thanks to everyone for pitching in. This is a fairly c...
