There has been FUD around how the recent amazing proximity gaps results affect current implementations of ZK. STARKs and Ligero use proximity gap theorems. At @ligero_inc, we have *NOT* relied on any unproven conjectures on proximity gaps. Google's ZK implementation by @abhvious and @MatteoFrig60839 *DO NOT* rely on any unproven conjectures. Both us and the Google team provide the best possible security and are *NOT BROKEN* by any of the amazing recent results. Thank your for your attention!

@mccurley I don’t know who the orcid benefits. not me. “author disambiguation” is not a real problem for human researchers doing their work. The problem of attribution after name changes is handled by tenure committees and gscholar already.

@LindellYehuda Your paper uses the same multiparty correlations that we do. However, instead of checking consistency w/ expensive (straight line extractable) ZK proofs, we exploit the fact that shares of \rho (per your notation), act as pairwise MACs. See S3.2 of our paper for an overview.

@LindellYehuda Take a look at our latest 3-round threshold ecdsa protocol (improvement over the 5-round protocol we shared at RWC in March) https://t.co/It5DKHCuHw

I noticed @chamath + crew had all the clues to short Credit Suisse a few weeks ago (when they offered him +190 basis points to play). @chamath did you?

My first opinion piece for WSJ, in praise of public libraries (against funding cuts). Oddly, most commentators seem to dislike libraries! Who knew? What the Medicis Could Teach Eric Adams - WSJ https://t.co/XoFuDffR1e

Northeastern's @KhouryCollege of Computer Sciences is looking to hire 8(!!) tenure-track faculty this year! Areas of interest include: differential privacy, cryptography, quantum computing. See https://t.co/UWOiEMETlR and/or reach out to me for more info. 1/?

@benadida @Twitter segmenting followers? and giving segments different permissions wrt responses? perhaps to encourage better behavior? [being armchair PM on a complex product]

@dave_andersen I've studied it and didn't buy when BTC was {3,30,300,3000,30000}. I hold ~0 others, (lumens airdropped to my keybase, algo and eth for testing)

#hr97 highlights: How does that damn mathiew @tambiah compute cube roots of 9 digit numbers in his head!? Thrice tested, <15sec! Did @sapna find the loo in holworthy? Why did 55% of our class report unhappiness with their lives?

@BrothersCammy @SebastianSmee It should be live at 5:14pm ET: https://t.co/PyTzGNUJdW

@petejkim Congrats on your launch of Threshold! Can you detail whether your ECDSA scheme is based on your earlier blog post? https://t.co/eUzyNVgMGy
