Rust needed its FastAPI moment. So I built it.
fastrs — validation, OpenAPI docs, and routing that generate themselves from your types. Zero runtime cost, because it all happens at compile time.
When I first saw difference equations on my coursework, I immediately assumed differential equations.
Turns out Difference Equations and Differential Equations are two different things.
The former looks at discrete change while the later looks at continuous change.
Interesting note: CC agents are really good at narrow tasks, but completely fail if you stray from the path you have them on. Example:
Research task --> slow --> optimize --> research task
vs
Research task --> slow [spawn new agent, optimize] --> research task.
This increases the chance we see "agent teams" increase in popularity! Check this tweet in a few months
After 3 years of hard work, we are happy to release Zippel, a Language, Compiler, Runtime, and Analyzer for ZK Proof Systems (https://t.co/3vwJ53J4LX). The paper is here (https://t.co/UCknQVWina). Zippel will appear at S&P 2027. 1/5
Not really. Competitive prover markets don’t automatically centralize building, hardware + recursion keep getting better for local proving, and lighter verification is what actually helps more solo stakers stay online. “Slow Solana” is a stretch.
If proving can't be done by local block builders, centralized block proving leads to centralized block building, centralized state serving... Then solo stakers give up and Ethereum becomes a slow Solana.
As a researcher, I like to think about what-if scenarios, so let's consider one here: what if there is no more public-key encryption?
Public-key encryption is used in countless ways in our daily lives, including online shopping, banking, and protecting anything we want to keep private from the rest of the internet.
What if the mathematical problems that underpin public-key encryption (factoring, discrete log, lattice problems, decoding of codes) are all easy to solve because of mathematical breakthroughs by artificial intelligence or quantum computers? What happens to internet commerce?
I see two worlds:
1. We rely on trusted intermediaries to send us keys for encryption. There is no more public-key encryption, and all we have is symmetric encryption like AES. In this case, we need trusted third parties to send counterparties dedicated keys for encrypting.
2. A second possibility that I like better relies on hash-based zk-STARK systems to create digital signatures that depend only on the hardness of hash problems.
In this world, you could still have payment systems and internet commerce for sending payments, but you'll need to solve the challenge of easy, direct encrypted channels between counterparties.
fun fact: satoshi refused to use the NIST seeds probably because he was somewhat of a bunker mode retard himself, instead used the more obscure secp256k1, and most other cryptocurrencies followed
this is why we can’t directly use industry standards like passkeys in blockchains, and instead we ship people purpose-built hardware wallets made by fucking amateurs, leading to routine 9 figure hacks
anthropic’s discovery reveals that in retrospect his panic wasn’t necessary and we could’ve just used the standards
thanks bunker mode retards!
(this comment is exaggerated for comedic effect but it’s not wrong)
I wasn’t going to comment since this is a really bad take IMO, but since it’s taken off I feel the need to. To my understanding, there is no evidence whatsoever pointing to a break of decades old hardness assumptions like elliptic curve cryptography. 1/n
@kayythemuse It is allowed amongst women on nikkah
In the sisters night , only women are present hence you are allowed to drum , sing sonorously even speak about sex and sexual acts
This isn’t same as during nikkah , the sisters night is before the nikkah
@kayythemuse A lot of Muslims rely on some scholars who allow it based on weak evidences , there is nothing like Islamic song , a song is a song , a nasheed that has beats becomes a song hence prohibited
However a woman on her sisters night for nikkah can drum and sing , this is allowed
